Through Bracher argued that the work of Ralf Dahrendorf , David Schoenbaum , and Henry Ashby Turner about National Socialism in pursuit of anti-modern goals leading to an unintentional modernization of German society had merit , Bracher felt the question of modernization was too removed from the essence of National Socialism , which Bracher argued were the total revolutionary remodeling of the world along savagely racist and Social Darwinist lines . In Bracher 's opinion , the revolution Hitler sought to unleash was besides being one of racism gone mad , was also a moral revolution . Bracher argued that the Nazi revolution sought to destroy traditional values that society had valued such as friendship , kindness , and so forth , and replace them with values such as cruelty , brutality , and destruction . Bracher argued that because Anti-Semitism was so crucial to Hitler 's '' weltanschauung '' ( worldview ) and its consequences in the form of genocide for the Jews of Europe were such that this disapproves any notion of generic fascism because Bracher believes that theories of fascism can not account for the '' Shoah '' . Bracher argued that generic fascism theorists were guilty of indiscriminately lumping in too many disparate phenomena for the concept of fascism to be of any intellectual use , and of using the term fascist as a catch-all insult for anyone the left disliked . With respect to the genesis of The Holocaust , he is a confirmed Intentionalist . It is his position that the entire project of the genocide of European Jewry resulted from Adolf Hitler 's anti-Semitic hatred
