Indeed, many Germans saw through this hypocrisy!. A common joke among Germans apparently said: "The perfect Nazi should be blonde like Hitler, handsome like Goebbels, and fit like Goring!."Www@QuestionHome@Com

Hitler was probably one of the single most charismatic speakers to have ever lived during his generation!. Crazy, psychotic, paranoid delusional freak yes but he infected his population with ideas of grandeur!.

He knew the population had been mixed with other races from the Hordes and other tribal nations, but the essence was to be pure of blood!. That the Germans were the chosen, mythical people!.

He had professors and scholars with boards containing different eye and hair colors comparing them to his populace dictating what ancient areas or tribes they were once decedents from!.

The blond hair and blue eyes were just traits he thought were of signs of pure blood!. It was not just Jewish people he slaughtered by the millions, but also Gypsies, homesexuals, anyone thought not worthy or less human!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Hitler got around this by buying into a theory of "kinds" of Aryans!. The ideal was the blue eyed, blond haired, cleft chinned type you see on Nazi posters!. But because this represented a minority of Germans, there was a scale of Aryanism, if you will!. The top was Nordic, going down to Bavarian and even Mediterranian!. Each type was distinguished by hair and eye color, nose, skull, and facial shapes!. All nonsense, but allowed the Nazi elite to group themselves in the "superior" race!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

Hitler's "Master Race' was nothing but pseudo-scientific nonsense!. It's reasonable that you're confused because it doesn't make any sense! It was pure propaganda promoting Hitler's vision of an ethnic German-dominated Europe!. Nazi racial theory is just insane!.

And the countries most likely to have Hitler's so-called "Aryan" traits are Scandinavian nations (Denmark, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Finland)!. Denmark and Norway both suffered less than 10,000 deaths under Nazi occupation, Finland was a military ally of Germany, Iceland remained Allied territory for the entire war, and Sweden maintained neutrality with close ties to the Axis!. So what "massacre" specifically are you referring to!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

it was also the specific shape of owns head that made them aryan!.
if you were to watch a documentary about it!. they would show videos of posters on walls in germany of an "aryans" head shape and a "Jews" head shape!.
quite interesting thoWww@QuestionHome@Com

Despite possibly massacring those that had many of the traits Hitler saw desirable, it might've been solely because he saw that as the opposite of the traditional Jewish traits!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

HE WAS also PART JEWISH, GENIUS AND MADNESS SOMETIMES CROSS TO CREATE MONSTERS!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I think it goes alot deeper than that, into the rich Jews controlling too much!. Alot of Germans are dark, it's a huge country with many different groups!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The Nazis wanted to *create* a master race!. Blonde hair and blue eyes indicates there has been no "mixing" of genetic traits!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

None of it made sense!.
He just sold the idea to a country who wanted something to blame for their terrible amount of debt!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

he was his own spot in the aryan race but he was also half jew his mother was jewish he hated his 2nd cousin or momWww@QuestionHome@Com

He was delusional!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

This was part of a national mythology used by the Nazis, it is best understood not literally, but as a unifying national concept!. It stod in contrast to the 'Easterners' who Hitler saw as the ultimate enemy!. You will notice that most national mythologies need an 'arch enemy' against which to stand!. They're all about making an 'us' and 'them'!. Once people make up their mind to accept them, and thus to feel 'special', the facts matter little!.

The actual Aryan race is barely understood and probably has little to do with those living in Germany in the 20th Century, but this does not damage its credibility!.

Consider that almost every country has these myths: I'm Australian and we identify ourselves with colonial rebellions and Anzacs fighting at Galipolli, but hardly any Australians can trace actual ancestral origin to these events!. Greeks see themselves as descended from the great civilisations of 3000-2500 years ago, but there is no ancestral link between modern Greeks and those people, because so many nations have conquored, settled, and moved on from this area!.

Russians see themselves as the inheritors of the Kiev Rus Orthodox Christians, but Russia was taken over by Mongols, Swedes, Lithuanians, and the Kiev Rus people later merged with northerners of Scandinavian, pagan, origin!.

These are just examples!. Every country tends to misidentify its ethnic origins to make those seeking/holding power today appear as the historically legitimate owners and natural rulers!. Always they tend to fall apart under examination but politics is rarely about facts and much more about manipulating herd instincts!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
