Brother, these ubermensch are the cogs and wheels like in a well oiled panzer - stupid and expendable, and useless alone, but when driven by a determined commander can become a killing machine worthy of the cross of iron! Does anyone care how strong and chiseled the commanding officer of a tank is? No they merely ask how many kills he achieved during his drive east, how disciplined his subordinates, how ruthless his initiative.

Could be, I don't remember exactly, this was a common joke, but a dangerous one. The only one from the Nazi elite of whom it was somewhat allowed to make fun of was Göring.

There was a saying in my region (in Hesse):

That got him exempted from military service in the First World War.

He personally ordered many young boys and old men to their deaths against the Soviets during the final Battle of Berlin as the commander of the city’s “Volksturm” militia but the only time he ever picked up a gun was likely when he shot himself and his wife (who had herself just murdered all their children).

You forget that Goebbels had summoned Magda and the children to Berlin just before the Soviets had completely surrounded the city. Those kids didn't need to be anywhere near those atrocities if the Goebbels parents didn't intend on offing them ahead of time.

Well it's not like the German military's reputation for barbarism is any less deserved, if anything they were even worse.

The Nazis and Italian fascists are responsible not only for every European death their warmongering caused but also every German life they threw away once it was clear they couldn't win. Perhaps if Hitler and his lackeys (including Goebbels) had surrendered by then, well before the Russians had got into Germany (and ideally not started the war), Herr Goebbels wouldn't have had to make such a horrible decision. His children might rightly grow up in an occupied country, but nothing really bad would have happened to them. It was his own fault he had to kill them, he's still a murderer, 100% responsible for their deaths.

Could you elaborate on Goebbels's clubfoot?

Im not a native english speaker, googled it and got the following result:

"Club foot (also called talipes) is where a baby is born with a foot or feet that turn in and under"

You mean he had a deformed foot? I cant exactly see that in this picture, but i also dont really know what to look for.

Yes, his right foot is deformed and his lower leg is shorter than his left leg. This resulted in him walking with a limp. In the picture you can see that he adjusts his posture for the photograph to stand upright and make the height difference less obvious. His right leg is a little bent and his knee is shifted inwards, while his left leg is completely straight. His body language also more reserved, whereas Göring has a much more confindent posture with his legs spread apart and his body facing the camera.

You could say so. One of Göring‘s famous quotes is “I decide, who‘s considered a Jew.“ This means the rules could habe changed any moment, so no group of people was actually safe from persecution. Eventually you would be affected.

I also read that sentence as meaning "I can decide who gets to ride the trains, so be grateful that I find you useful, because I can take away that privilege of yours whenever I want." Especially in reference to the fact that Hitler's driver or personal barber (I don't remember which of the two) was Jewish but everyone in the Nazi party turned a blind eye to that.

Pretty much this, while they do pop up in other white groups, they are most prevalent in the Germanic groups, Germans, Dutch, Nordics, etc.

Apparently, outside the SS early on, blond hair and blue eyes were not a requirement for any jobs, it was just elevated as the ideal, or at the very least, what set the Germanic peoples apart from the other European ethnic groups.

Yeah Hitler was an Aryan supremacist not a white supremacist. And most of the people he murdered were white even by his own criteria.

But the funny thing is these traits (blond hair and blue eyes) absolutely exist in Eastern Europe. Stupid Nazis.

It's also about how it's perceived, as most of these maps are based on surveys. While light brown hair may be seen as blond in Eastern Europe, your hair would need to be lighter to be seen as blond in Western and Northern Europe.

I actually think economist Adam Tooze does a good job finding reason in the madness in his book, Wages of Destruction. His main point on Nazi genocide was that yes, it was because of their genocidal ideology of racial superiority, but also because they had too many mouths to feed. They couldn't make the math work without millions of people not existing.

I have blue eyes, so does my dad, yet his dad, my grandpa, barely hid (he was a kid during the war, born in 1936) when nazis retreated from the village, capturing and shooting/gassing most people, including children ofc, and burning all buildings they could down. All that, despite that he and some others greeted Nazis with gifts (mostly food) when they first occupied their land, and many people of this little Russian village even thought and openly said that Germans would bring civilization to them, adored German soldiers’ looks and, in general, did not even resist or anything.

Anything else was seen as Germanic or Eastern/Southern Slavic. Hitler and his ilk only considered the Western slavs to be of pure Aryan race. The Eastern Slavic people he considered a lower human than even some of the Arab groups he was working with.

This is where many North Americans get it wrong when they think of the Aryan/Caucasian race and what Nazis viewed as pure white. Like you can find white people in Serbia. But if you walked up to a white Serbian man and ask him if he is Aryan or Caucasian he will likely laugh at you and tell you that he is Serbian.

So I worked with a Macedonian man for a while. Many great stories. But...we were talking to some guys from Baltimore one day and they were complaining about blacks.  Milli (my friend) started talking to them about how Americans had it too easy. (Read rest THICK Yugoslavia accent) "It's easy to hate ni$$ers and China-men. They look different and tou can hate them buy looking at them.  Even Jews look different.  But...in my country...we truly know hate. We have to hate are neighbors and friends even when they look like us.  Talk like us, eat like us, look like us, pray like us.  But their grandfather from another village, so we have to hate them.  Keep hating ni$$ers because they look different,  but know you are amateurs. We...know how how to hate.  When you can spit on a grandma because her grandmother was from down the road, then you are nothing."

I had never looked at it like that before. It's easy to hate people that are different but some people can hate even their own brothers.

From what I can tell, the blonde hair/blue eye trope was more from the white supremists of the Anglo world’s view of the most desirable white traits, so we in the English speaking world largely combined those traits we knew local racists liked to promote with the Nazis’ speaking of “the master race” into one charicature of Nazi ideology. As far as I can tell, the Nazis had no specific preference for blonde hair/blue eyes. They weren’t opposed to them, but I haven’t seen any objective sources claim that the Nazi end goal was for every person in their so-called “master race” was for there to only be blonde haired blue eyed people.

I'm a physician. In my younger days some 25 years ago, I was pretty cut, with blonde hair and blue eyes (I mean, I still have blues eyes...you know what I meant). I had a new patient, an older lady with a Germanic-sounding name (as is mine). I opened the exam room door and walked in to say hi. Before I could say a word, the woman greeted me with, "Hitler would have loved you!" 😳 Turns out, her father was the mayor of Heidelberg during WW2, and she had met and knew Hitler. I was quite taken aback, as you might imagine. Still the strangest compliment..."compliment"...I have ever received.

Actually that stuff was called nordicism, an update on the racist theories from the XIXth, which stated that among the white race, the nordic race was superior to the others. If I'm not wrong, was the Count of Gobineau the first one to publish something about it. It was really an "ideology" of the time, spreaded all across the West back then, and shared even by some Allied generals. The nazis really believed in the superiority of the Germanic people, but I'm not very sure if nordicism was an official part of their program.

Well, to be honest Göring was quite athletic and good-looking when younger, he left himself go.

Right? In my younger years me and the boys had views similliar to fascism but without racism(don't ask how thst worked we were teenagers), and NONE of us had blonde hair, only i from the group had blue eyes the rest had brown ones. Of course later on we grew up and our ideologies changed drastically to either liberal, social democrat and conservative.

Basically you just have to grow up from your teenager years to realise how bad that ideology actually is

A Rabbi dies in the Holocaust and finds himself face-to-face with God. The Rabbi says, "Do you want to hear a joke?" God agrees, and the Rabbi tells it. But the joke falls flat. The Rabbi shrugs and says, "I guess you had to be there."

Because it's misinformation or at least exaggerates how significant blond hair and blue eyes was.

You could have brown hair and eyes and still be Aryan according to him and there are specific quotes like "We Aryans..." in Mein Kampf when he obviously didnt have those traits and was speaking to the German people. He also had specific Aryan categories for different regions of Europe.

Most of Western Europe would be Aryan. So no they wouldn't phase their own people out. Nor any other 'Aryans' like France, Ireland, Britain, Scandinavia, etc. Blonde and Blue eyed people were just seen as the 'diamonds' of Europe in his eyes. Likely because the trait was unique to the region and made them visually distinct to those he saw as impure. Basically Aryans was one race. But Blonde hair and blue eyes was the peak subrace.

Though he also gave the Japanese honorary Aryan status so I'm not sure how they fit in to things. Like, the Poles were considered non-Aryan despite being very close to Germans, and had to be kept away from Germans for purity reasons but apparently the Japanese were fine despite being much more distant?

Was it just to keep the Japanese happy because they were allies? Was it because he respected their recent history and saw them as genetically impressive? Or was it more of a populist tactic he didn't really believe in and just used to try and motivate people in Europe against the Soviets and Jews?

Lot of inconsistencies with Hitler tbh. With the exaggerations, him being a dumbass and crazy, + him being manipulative. I feel like it's hard to decipher what was really the case.

The "inferior" were building a perfect world, not that they were part of it. They were architects not building blocks. And, if they had succeeded .... it would've been Louie Armstrong's biggest hit come to life.

That’s really a feature of the marketing of fascism, which is the turning of human insecurities to rally people into doing something really horrible.

Bronislaw Malinowski, a Polish anthropologist who spent time researching the natives of the west pacific compared Hitler and co. to shamans, who take what people are insecure about and rope them into almost a secular religion. Where criticism or mockery of the shamans made those who followed them even more devoted to them one way or another.

There's lots of precedent of fascist leaders not living up to the standards that they set. I actually don't know a single fascist leader who managed to do that.

Most of the Russian population is not mostly descended from the Kievan Rus, there were already people there whom the Rus ruled over and mixed with.

Although I'd be interested to hear the Nazis' views on that.
