Who was the main philosopher of the Nazis ? It seems that it wasn't Heidegger,
but rather Nietzsche as re-edited by his sister Elizabeth and selectively
reinterpreted by Nazi scholars like Alfred Baumler. To what extent Nietzsche's
philosophy, with its love of hyperbolic expression and lack of a coherent
system, lends itself to such interpretation is debatable. Some info on it here:
