Were the Nazis radical environmentalists?

My memory stretches back further (to about 1939-42 onward) than that of
most posters to this list, and I have vividly in my memory a standard by
which to judge the following fragment of Dan Lazare's post. I can remember
when in the '40s and '50s and even into the early '60s a certain kind of
liberal thought that by *his* (usually his, sometimesd her) personal
anti-racism (or rather, since the term "anti-racism" was meaningless then,
by his personal freedom from such a vulgarity) he could use such terms as
"n-word" and "spade" freely. Had the vocabulary been invented then, each
and every one of them would have defended his usage by acusing any critics
of "political correctness" (and of course, by accusing them of the
red-baiting tactic that never goes out of style, lack of a sense of
humor).
Unless he cares to apologize for "man and nature," Dan Lazare is on my
permanent delete-without-reading list, the list I use for incorrigible
liberals who like the thrill it gives them to call themselves marxists.
