For anyone who's interested in this part of the Nazi story, of which I am personally fascinated with, I urge you to check out Homo Sapiens 1900[1], a documentary about the Eugenics movement directly prior to World War II. Among other things, it basically chronicles the ideology and people who influenced Hitler, then goes on to show how these people's beliefs were embedded into the doctrine of Nazi Germany. What it does not focus on is the actual Holocaust, this movie is just talking about the philosophies that led to those atrocities. It's somewhat disturbing, but also enlightening, to see how some slightly hate-filled ideologies and pseudo-scientific beliefs can be combined with military might to form an almost unstoppable menace.
