Hitler tried to embody not Nietzsche's ideas, but some strange fantasies based on Nietzsche's ideas. Nietzsche himself was a bit of a humanist and hated anti-Semites. But he had a sister, Elizabeth, who was an ardent anti-Semite and became a supporter of Hitler towards the end of her life. It was her redaction of Nietzsche's ideas that the ideologists of Nazism perceived.
None at all ! Hitler perverted Nietzsche's idea of a superman who (according to Nietzsche) conducts a spiritual struggle against his slavish prejudices in order to rise above the vanity and passions of the world and see the “pure” truth. Hitler simplified the “spiritual struggle” as much as possible to the level of the fate of a person who is naturally endowed with the strong-willed qualities of a “superman” and can create life at will.
In one, Nietzsche helped Hitler when he declared “God is dead” (Nietzsche assumed that man should create himself). But Hitler did not understand Nietzsche's spiritual and philosophical quest, and accepted as a postulate that since God is dead, then what serves the idea of the “superman” is moral (here we can also recall Lenin's “everything that serves the cause of the revolution is moral”).
