Hitler actually pointed to the extermination of the American Indian by such "enlightened" progressives like Andrew Jackson as a model for the Third Reich. Jim Craven has been digging deeply into the documentation on this for a suit against the state of Washington by 15 tribes. What's interesting is that the case is being heard in an Indian court. The governor of Washington State has been subpoenaed and he is pissed!
ps to Jim: Doug's mailing-list and mine are now online and they're pretty darn good. Let me know if you want to get added.
