Apostle,
First, no offense intended, but if you want to discuss Friedrich Nietzsche it's a good idea to learn how to spell his name.
I'm making the assumption that you identify Nietzsche as the "mastermind" whose ideas were either "used... or twisted" by Hitler. If so:
1. What works or concepts of Nietzsche did Hitler use? Did he use those works cogently or not? Did Hitler ever quote Nietzsche in public?
2. Was Nietzsche an anti-Semite? Was he a proponent of German nationalism?
3. Did the Nazis act in accordance with Nietzsche's writings? Which ones?
4. If Nietzsche was "twisted" by Hitler, is that somehow a result of Nietzsche's work? Did he ever consider the misuse of his concepts?
5. How did you determine that Nietzsche was "the" influence on Hitler? Are there any others? Can we parcel out responsibility?
6. In your opinion, would Nazism have arisen without Nietzsche as a precursor?
