Lolz. Santa, Hitler borrowed from Nietzsche on a misinterpretation of the Ubermensch.

Hitler never used the terms "ubermensch" or "untermensch". If he used any approximation of those terms it was influenced by an American Lothrop Stoddard who had used the term untermensch in "Revolt against Civilization". Everything you said is (((bullshit))).
