    The last sentence: Hitler was really “inspired” by the Euthanasia Eugenics movement which was mostly a US-American thing back then.

      Euthanasia

      i think you misspeeled eugenics, and i’m not entirely sure it was a mostly statesian thing as i wasn’t around back then but nietzche and some other european philosophers wrote about it a lot. i know nietzche had his writings coopted by the nazis but i’m not a huge 18th-19th century history wonk. my history wonkishness is 17th-18th century.

      The final solution was based off the how the US took care of the Native Americans. Hitler looked up to the fascist US. Many private wealthy US individuals helped bank roll the Nazi movement.

      When the Nazi proposed expelling the Jews they approached all the nations and asked them to take the Jews. The US said no and then lobbied all the other countries to refuse thus leading to the final solution.

      IBM created the number system that was tattooed onto the Jews arms. They used early computing power to figure out how many Jews would need to be “removed” from the ghettos daily in order to complete the final solution.

      More than just the US. It was also very Anglo centric being a school of thought in the UK and Australia.
