Excerpt from Ramu's The ideas that killed 30 million people?

20 years back Ram Gopal Varma had written an article - 'The ideas that killed 30 million people'. Her, he quotes a few passages from it.

The start of the article:

Although the Ideas that nourished the intellectual roots of Adolf Hitler can be traced back to many a megalomaniacal thought that poured out from a few German minds of the 19th Century not other man's thoughts have contributed so much to the barbaric part of the Nazi mind as those of the philosopher Fredrich Nietzsche.

The essence of the article:

I quoted from Nietzsche's 'The natural history of morals'.
'The strong men, the masters regain the pure conscience of a beast. They return from a fearful succession of arson, rape, torture and murder with the same joy in their hearts and the same contentment in their souls as if they have indulged in a harmless students rag. When a man is a master by nature and violent by gesture, of what importance are treaties to him?'

My writing in the article under the above quote:

These words uttered by the most terrible man that has even existed on the face of the earth as Nietzsche described himself in his autobiography 'ecce homo' had a profound impact on the shaping up of the mind of Hitler and host of lesser Nazis and in time they would justify such ruthless deeds as the breaching of the Versailles treaty, the violation of the Hague Convention, the killing of his own followers in the blood purge of June 1934 and the senseless massacre of millions in the IInd World War and the brutal torture of Jews in Auschwitz and other such concentration camps'.

The end of the article:

All things said and done no one can blame Hitler for surprising the world with his doings because he bared each and every intention of his, years before he was given the power to do them. Any reader of his autobiography 'Mein Kampf' will have no doubts about that.
