Actual nazi idealogues were rare. Those atrocities were committed by Germans for the sake of Germany. Regular Germans were pretty happy with the nazis until they ran out of countries to rob and the people they'd tried to enslave started to come after them for revenge.

Sounds more like they're trying to justify further research into seeing whether they would be able to apply concepts like swarm intelligence to communities of plants.

To be totally honest I genuinely doubt that Hitler cared, though it probably factored into the decision to just try and exterminate the Jews altogether.

At the end of the day, Hitler shot himself and that lady is like 105.

I know a woman who fled Germany as part of the Kindertransport. What always seems to stick out in her mind is how awful the British were towards her, because she was a foreigner and a Jew.
