Indeed, but I don't think Hitler was very Christian, he probably did what was best for the masses... Our friend Mussolini was an atheist since he was a kid but he made good use of Catholicism. What I am saying is that even if Hitler based himself wrongly on Darwin to advocate racial purity and eugenics that doesn't (1)make evolution false (2) and creationism true. An idea can be very bad and still be the truth.
I can't know for sure how religious Hitler was, but he sure did have some misconceptions about race and genetics, he believed in creating the super-human Nietzsche theorized but misunderstood the former's idea completely - I don't know if Nietzsche was racist but he didn't explicitly advocate eugenics
In the case of science, there's many bad things that are truth - For example, cancer is a terrible thing but it exists, saying "evolution is bad because it leads to social darwinism" is the same thing as saying "cancer sucks because it can get you killed"
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
