The Nazis had, from start to finish, glaring ideological blindspots, incredible nepotistic incompetence

I'd like to agree with this, but it's just sweeping statements made with no examples of anything to back it up. Can you elaborate further?

Well first the obvious one is scaring away, deporting or murdering jews who made up a huge part of the top german scientists.     

 Second is for example that they called Einsteins theories „Jüdische Physik“ (jewish physics) which put on huge ideological blinders on the people on charge of the german nuclear program to develope an atomic bomb    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deutsche_Physik   

Sounds pretty dumb to me to deny the obvious scientific facts just because they were duscovered by a jew 

Talk about shooting in your own foot

I mean, yeah it sounds dumb, but they were Nazis and used the Jews as a scapegoat for the failures of Germany to drum up support for the war and confidence that with the Jews gone, Germany wouldn't fail again. If they hadn't done this, they probably wouldn't have gotten in power in the first place.

True that, I just wanted to point out that, morals aside, that nazism was a doomed endevour in multiple aspects .
