WvB

[Gillies, Lindsay]

Certainly not worth going to war.  My point, cross-cutting the science vs. 
philosophy debate, is to look at WvB not as a scientist but as a Nazi.  I'm 
too much of a materialist to believe thinking "causes" anything, but note 
that "this bit of conflation" is absolutely fundamental to the entire 
apparatus of NS propaganda (e.g., Rosenberg, etc.) including its 
pseudo-science of history.  Jews=vermin; vermin should be exterminated; Jews 
should be exterminated.  Nothing tenuous about it.
The connection to TRP/GR is undoubtedly multifaced; my focus is on TRP's use 
of WvB as a Nazi rather than as a scientist.

But to say of vBraun, "Ahah! this bit of conflation
is what permitted/brought about National Socialism" is a bit tenuous
