Video was made based on information gathered in the following books. Many of the concepts have been simplified for practical viewing reasons. The jury is still out on many Nazi race theories because, ironically, they were rarely set in stone - something I argue is for a reason.
Books:
- The racial state by Michael Burleigh
- Toward the Final Solution: A History of European Racism
Book by George Mosse
- Excerpts from Mein Kampf (do not waste your time reading this, please)

Hey tovarischi. I have a very important announcement to make. Me, Hakim and JT from Second Thought have
started a podcast called The Deprogram. A truly international weekly semi-edgy politics,
news and philosophy show spanning pretty much the whole world – from The Balkans to Iraq
and the United States. 4 episodes are already out. We’ve seen a lot of success and received
a lot of positive feedback – so let me know what you think. Find it on your preferred audio platforms
through one of the links
in the description! If you’re not new here you probably know
that I often pride myself in my deep knowledge of niche Fascist and Nazi ideological themes. To defeat your enemy you must know them yada
yada yada. But to my surprise, a few weeks ago, I came
across a documentary explaining how Germans, under orders coming directly from Himmler
abducted, indoctrinated and Germanized Polish children. Wait. Polish kids? You mean Slavic kids? Polka dancing vodka chugging genes being incorporated
to the
so called Aryan race? That can’t be correct, right? I mean Germans considered us the 3rd worst
race after Jews and the Roma – so why the hell were they, and I quote, selecting children
from foreign nations who correspond to Aryan racial models? /Name/ himself was so deep into the quazy-science
of it all that he believed allowing so called Aryans to grow up in enemy nations would lead
to them becoming capable social or military leaders – which could harm Germany in the
long run. But that still di
dn’t explain the quite
blatant hypocrisy of taking Slavic kids, which you considered a lower race – and integrating
them in your society. And that’s where the rabbit hole of absolutely
insane Nazi Race Science was introduced to my life. I’ve skimmed through countless pages of
analyses of just what Nazis thought about race so that you won’t have to. Get ready for this – because for such a
serious subject – a lot of this stuff is genuine comedy gold. Most of you have already heard of the concept
o
f Aryanhood. A sub-group of the European people defined
as innately superior. Throughout his book Mein Kampf especially
in chapter 11 "Nation and Race". Hitler makes references to an "Aryan race"
founding a superior type of humanity. Never read this book btw. It’s bad. The purest stock of Aryans according to Nazi
ideology was the Nordic people of Germany, England, the Netherlands and Scandinavia. The Nazis defined Nordics as being identified
by tall stature (average 175 cm), long faces, prominen
t chins, narrow and straight noses
with a low bridge, lean builds, doliocephalic skulls, straight light hair, light eyes, and
fair skin. But wait – that’s already confusing as
hell. So we have Germans, Englishmen, Scandinavians,
then we have the Aryans and now we have the Nordics? This is all over the place. Ok let me explain – so the Germans, Englishmen
and Scandinavians are peoples, a volk, a nation as we would amptly call it today. It is unified by culture, language territory
and so on. Nordi
c on the hand is a RACE according to
Nazi doctrine – distinct from other subraces which exist all over the world. And the Aryans have been used to represent
many different concepts ranging from Indo-European to just European throughout history – but
in specific nazi doctrine are the depiction of the greatest civilization to have ever
lived – whose purest descendants, not too distilled through race mixing – are the
Nordics. The Nazi theorist Alfred Rosenberg believed
that the "Nordic race" was de
scended from "Proto-Aryans", who he believed had pre-historically
dwelt on the North German Plain and may have ultimately originated on the lost continent
of Atlantis. So yeah – the little mermaid was a nazi. Furthermore Nordicists claimed that Nordics
had formed upper tiers of ancient civilisations, even in the Mediterranean civilisations of
antiquity, which had declined once this dominant race had been assimilated. The incredibly scientific arguments they had
for this were that leading Romans
like Nero, Sulla and Cato were blond or red-haired. Ok, So you have the superhuman Aryans who’s
descendants are best represented in the Nordic race – which is the most present race among
germans who therefore take it on themselves to represent the interests of their Aryan
forefathers as the flag bearers of this supreme race all over the world. Does that make more sense? No and it’s batshit crazy? Yeah I know, but stick with me it gets even
wilder. So we have problem numero uno - if not all
Germa
ns are Nordic therefore not all of them are Aryans? You must be thinking – eh The Germans probably
swept that under the rug though, right? Surprisingly No, not really. It was commonly accepted among the Nazis that
many of the so called Alpine race had mixed up with the Nordics in their country – as
they estimated that Germans themselves are around 50% Nordic. After they came to power in -year- there was,
and check this out, a genuine debate inside of the Nazi party between super racists and
just
racists on wether or not the German race, as a concept existed. The ultra racists had won out the argument
by defining the idea of a German race as having no basis in blood – as they are a mixture
of other races – as well as a potentially weakening concept because it might allow certain
lower races to self-identify as German only because of a shared culture or language – and
through that that could weaken the country. Germans were therefore a Volk, a people – but
definitely not a race. Some wer
e still worried this might imply segregation
inside of the German population itself. If Nordicism was to overtake Germanism as
the preliminary identity then – they feared – they might come to a situation in which
the Nordics were to ostracize the rest of the German populace. But that was quickly forgotten – because
there were other enemies to fight first. Once that debate was finished they slapped
the we are 50% Nordic sticker on their racist car and said this is what we’re rolling
with. But if
they were 50% Nordic then what about
other so called whites? Like the English for example? Or the Swedes. Well – and I kid you not – Nations were
cut into two categories – Lower and Higher Aryan classes based on – PERCENTAGES. Yes – completely made up percentages of
how much of the local population was “Nordic” and therefore if it could be solidified in
the local blood pool through careful breeding or not. The Fines were 80% Nordic – putting them
in the omg so white category while the English fo
r example were believed to be 25% Nordic
– where only the Higher classes – for some reason – preserved most of their Nordic
blood. This insane guesswork required as much scientific
research as being like – ok there’s some blond people over in England, but not many
– so let’s say 25%. And Omg look at Finland you can’t even see
these dudes when the sun is shinning bright – let’s give those guys an 80% Aryan rating. And yes – this percentage game was what
defined a people as more or less Aryan and
therefore more or less tolerable by the Great
German Nation. Those with higher percentages were to be eventually
fully Germanized and welcomed into the fold of the Third Reich. While the rest – well we know what the plan
was for the rest. So ok – but how does one actually tell – between
two blond dudes if one is an Aryan or if one is Jewish or Slavic? Well – for the Jewish question they had
a very direct answer. The Nuremburg laws passed in 1935 came up
with this brilliant idea: show map. Those
with 3 or more jewish grandparents were
100% jews. No discussion or debate. When identifying the race of your parents
or grandparents they looked both at their religious practices as well as information
on their ethnic belonging. But if you were a Catholic with Jewish ancestry
they wouldn’t care about your rejection of the Hebrew religion – because it was
quote unquote in your blood. Those with only 1 or 2 jewish descendants
were considered race mixers – and were very partially tolerated only in
the beginning. These blood rules applied to jews, roma and
black Germans – and eventually led to their documents regularly being stamped with their
ethnic information – as to not allow them to marry, run businesses, employ non-jews
and at some point to even exist. The craziest part about German Nazi race laws
is that they were less harsh than American segregation rules. In the US the 1 drop rule meant that even
if a single person in your entire family tree was black – you were no longer white –
while
the nazis at least gave some leeway to breeding out inferiority in their system. So what about my people? The Slavs. The Nazis thought that Eastern Europe, namely
the areas whose inhabitants speak Slavic languages, was racially the lowest part of the continent,
and very distinct from the rest of Europe. Hans Günther, the daddy of German race science,
stated: "The east of Europe shows a gradual transition of the racial mixtures of Central
Europe into predominantly East Baltic and Inner Asi
atic regions... Owing to the likeness between East Baltic
and Inner Asiatic bodily characters it will often be hard to fix a sharp boundary between
these two races." Russia was thought to be 25% Nordic, while
other regions were considered less or more Nordic – but at the end of the day they
were seen as inherently impossible places to Aryanify, or to Germanize – because they
were already too mixed or spoiled by the so called evils of Bolshevik communism and unclean
blood. There were still Nordic
s there – and could
be found through incredibly advanced skull measuring (this is a joke) but potentially
loosing them was a worthy sacrifice in order to crush the beast in the east and establish
the infamous lebensraum – a space for the German nation to grow and live. But most importantly – a place to breed
all aspects of non Nordic aryanhood out of the populace. So the answer to the question from the beginning
of the video should now be clear – there were some so called Aryans living among dir
ty
slavs that the germans believed should be saved and brought to Germany as kids for germanization. And that’s exactly what they did. Weird how they shot the parents of these so
called Aryan kids immediately after kidnapping them though. Himmler stated that it was in the German interest
to discover as many ethnic groups in the East and splinter them as much as possible, find
and select racially valuable children to be sent to Germany to assimilate them and restrict
non-Germans in the General Go
vernment and conquered territories to four-grade elementary
school which would only teach them how to write their own name, to count up to 500 and
to obey Germans.[68] Himmler believed the Germanization process in Eastern Europe would
be complete when "in the East dwell only men with truly German, Germanic blood".[69] The
end destiny for the east – in the long run was slavery followed by complete alienation. But then why did we see so many representatives
of these lower races being incorporated
into the German military movement? Maybe – and hear me out – it wasn’t
even about saving members of their own race but finding a way to not sound like hypocrites
once they started realizing that Stalin’s reds were wiping the floor with them. And what about incorporating other races into
the Reich? What was that about? I’m not even going to attempt and explain
the concept of Honorary Aryans which was often gifted to the Japaneese and the Chinese – or
the Iranian Aryans – or how the Nazis literall
y believed that Indian Higher Casts – who
ruled and still rule india – were descendants of Aryans – which allowed them to rule over
their subhuman dominion. All of this would require an additional video. So let’s keep ourselves geographically locked
on the European continent. Hitler’s great allies – the Italians,
a great culture which has given us great things like the mafia, gabagool and Italian americans
– often debated the concept of Nordicism. The same racists which considered their populati
on
majority Nordic believed Italy, as well as parts of spain, were a people of a Mediteranian
race – not as clever or enterprenurial as the Nordics – but with higher proclivity
towards creativity and still inherently Aryan. This bugged Musollini for a long time who,
as a bald chubby brown-ish dude was against such ideals for pretty obvious reasons. He went so far as to try and push anti-nordicist
rhetoric and pitch the so called Mediteranian race as the true inheritors of the Roman Empire. Once
he saw the Nazi party explode into power
he quickly changed his rhetoric to pitching the Italians as a mixture between ancient
Nordic peoples and the Mediteranians – the way Germans are a mixture of those same Nordic
bluebloods and pretty ok Alpinians. This was very welcomed especially in north
Italy, who even before this move had plenty of quazy intellectuals who were pitching that
they were much purer than the dirty savage brown south Italians – who must’ve mixed
with North Africans or somethi
ng. It’s as if this whole race thing does a
lot less good than bad – even, funny enough, among racists haha. There’s plenty of debate to be had – but
if Germany had won WW2 all of Europe deemed not TOO spoiled by lower breed races – would
have been germanized fully. The Nazi Party went so far as to increase
birthrates of those who were classified as racially elite. In 1933, one of their first actions was to
pass the Law for the Encouragement of Marriage. This law stated that all newly married co
uples
of the Aryan race could receive a government loan. This loan was not simply paid back, rather
a portion of it would be forgiven after the birth of each child. The purpose of this law was very clear and
simple: to encourage newlywed Nordics to have as many children as they could, so that the
Aryan population would grow stronger. In 1942 Hitler stated in private:
I shall have no peace of mind until I have planted a seed of Nordic blood wherever the
population stand in need of regeneration. I
f at the time of the migrations, while the
great racial currents were exercising their influence, our people received so varied a
share of attributes, these latter blossomed to their full value only because of the presence
of the Nordic racial nucleus. By this logic there would’ve eventually
been internal segregation between purer or less pure Aryans – the only logical conclusion
you can come to when you believe in the concept of breeding out or purifying a race. And What about E LA BAGUETTE PEE
OPLE? AKA Zi French? Hitler viewed the French as close to the Germans
racially, but not quite their peers. He said of their racial character: "France
remains hostile to us. She contains, in addition to her Nordic blood,
a blood that will always be foreign to us."[26] Gunther echoed this sentiment, saying that
the French were predominantly Alpine and Mediterranean rather than Nordic, but that a heavy Nordic
strain was still present. He characterized the French as possessing
the following racial p
roportions: Nordic, 25%; Alpine or Dinaric, 50%; Mediterranean,
25%. These types were said to be most prevalent
in north, central, and southern France respectively. Hitler planned to remove a large portion of
the French population to make way for German settlement. The territories of eastern France was set
aside and planned to be made part of the German Reich after the rest of France was fully subdued. The French residents of the zone, some 7 million
people accounting for nearly 20% of the Frenc
h population at the time, were to be deported,
and the land then occupied by at least a million German settlers. Turkic peoples had been perceived initially
as "racially inferior" by the Nazis, this attitude changed around 1941, when, in view
of the difficulties faced in their invasion of the Soviet Union, the Nazis attempted to
harness the anti-Russian sentiment of Turkic peoples in the Soviet Union for political
destibilization. Something the Americans really learned a lot
from during the Cold
War, and the Russians after it haha. The first Turkestan Legion was mobilized in
May 1942. The East Battalions contained between 275,000
and 350,000 "Muslim and Caucasian" volunteers and conscripts. Talk about painting a whole bunch of people
white. A similar pragmatic approach was used on Croats,
Bosniak Muslim Fascists and Bulgarians. And what about Hitler’s view on the citizens
of the United States! Surely such a mixed multicultural country
would be revolting to Nazi ideological thought. Wel
l – Hitler had a much more realistic
view of the US, more realistic in fact than many people have on it even today. What do I mean? The Nazis were greatly inspired by the segregationist
laws in the US which allowed the white man to tower over black people while earning capital
from his sweat. The American invasion and total annihilation
of the Native American population was proof of stake for the Nazi idea of Lebensraum which
we talked about before. If the Indians could’ve been cleansed – so
cou
ld the Jews and Slavs of Eastern Europe one day. The US represented, in a way, a radical, but
just not radical enough, model which if repeated with German discipline – could yield even
greater results. Obviously Hitler’s view towards the Americans,
yes, that means white americans to Nazis, changed drastically when the country’s reaction
to the persecution of jews after 1938 grew ever more negative. Once the American mainstream no longer looked
neutrally or positively on the nazis the main racial
analysis of their country became that
the United States had become "half Judaised and the other half negrified" and was controlled
by an elite of Jewish plutocrats. But even if you were the blondest purest of
Nordic Aryan German there was still an untermench lottery you could win and have your brains
blown out by the good old reich! Or at least your balls snipped off. The July 1933 Law for the Prevention of Hereditarily
Diseased Offspring – written by Ernst Rüdin and other theorists of "racial
hygiene" – established
"Genetic Health Courts" which decided on compulsory sterilization of "any person suffering from
a hereditary disease." These included, for the Nazis, those suffering
from "Congenital Mental Deficiency", schizophrenia, "Manic-Depressive Insanity", "Epilepsy, Blindness,
Deafness, "any severe hereditary deformity", as well as "any person suffering from severe
alcoholism". Oh shit I wouldn’t last a week haha. Also it’s pretty funny how the party which
introduced this law again
st quote unquote deformities was led by a dude with only one
testicle and a micro peepee. But hey, I don’t wanna draw any conclusions
here. Or do I? One interesting thing we can learn from the
entirety of this racist insanity which has been disproven by thousands of analysts and
scientists from all over the world is that interestingly the Nazi form of Fascism – might
not have been as ¬guided by their racist policies as we might think. Yes – the Third Reich was based on so called
Race Science and
the ideals of Nordic and in turn Aryan supremacy of the German peoples
– but the continuous changes to the mainstream ideology, the continuous internal debates
over what’s more superior to the other and constant backtracking on how certain nations
and races are to be viewed shows us a movement either ignorant to their own worldview – or,
more likely – a movement which adapts their bigotry to suit their specific imperialist
interests. While their ideas were used to excuse the
horrors committed b
y the regime – they also – in a way show us the motivation behind
them – unity through hatred and a constant hunger for more power concentrated in the
hands of a megalomaniac elite. The Fascist is only principled in having no
principles. Their ideology is so fluid and superfluous
that they can attach themselves on any social issue they’d like – like a disgusting
tick - and mold it to their blood thirsty needs. It’s through the material analysis of the
world – that we can exempt ourselves from th
e very feels over realz – that the fascists
are constantly trying to sell us on. Thank you for watching. Here’s another quick reminder to check out
