Question

What are the peculiar features of Nazi thinking?

Answer 1

Hint
As the head of the Nazi Party in Germany, Nazism was the totalitarian movement headed by Adolf Hitler. Nazism had uniquely German beginnings. As developed under Frederick William I (1688–1740), Frederick the Great (1712–68), and Otto von Bismarck (1815–98.), it can partially be traced to the Prussian tradition.

Complete answer:
The militant spirit and the discipline of the Prussian army were considered by Nazism as the model for both individual and civic life.
During his youth, Hitler's intellectual point of view was influenced not only by these trends in the German tradition but also by unique Austrian movements that professed different political feelings especially those of pan-Germanic expansionism and anti-Semitism. The ferocious nationalism of Hitler, his disdain for the Slavs and his hate for the Jews can be explained to a large extent by his bitter experiences as an unsuccessful artist living on the streets of Vienna, the capital of the multi-ethnic Austro-Hungarian Empire.
The private citizen was subservient to the political establishment, according to Nazism, and the state was accountable to the people's supreme leader.
The intermingling of races was deemed unwanted. For this, references were given to works by Charles Darwin and Herbert Spencer. The Nordic Germans were considered to be pure, while the Jews were considered to be impure.
It was to abjure democracy and communism in all its ways.
There was a fundamental belief in the Aryan race's dominance.

Note
Hitler applied the almost supernatural fanaticism of a belief in the German race's mission and the fervour of a social-democratic gospel to Pan-Germanic aspirations. In Hitler's personal testament, Mein Kampf (1925-27; "My Struggle"), in which he presented both his realistic objectives and his race and propaganda theories, this gospel was most thoroughly articulated.
