Adolf Hitler, the leader of the Nazi Party, argued that the Germans was superior to all other races. Hitler became obsessed with 'racial purity' and used the word 'Aryan' to describe his idea of a 'pure German race' or Herrenvolk. The 'Aryan race' had a duty to control the world. The Nazis believed that the Aryans had the most "pure blood" of all the people on earth. The ideal Aryan had pale skin, blond hair and blue eyes. Non-Aryans came to be seen as impure and even evil. Hitler believed that Aryan superiority was being threatened particularly by the Jews. Therefore, a hierarchy of 'races' was created with the Aryans at the top and with Jews, Gypsies and black people at the bottom. These 'inferior' people were seen as a threat to the purity and strength of the German nation.
Creating 'Aryans' One of the Nazi aims was the creation of a Master Race. This meant encouraging people with "pure blood" (in other words, those with blond hair and blue eyes) to have more children. In 1935 the leader of the Schutzstaffeln (SS), Heinrich Himmler, created a project called the Lebensborn, which means 'spring of life'. The aim of the project was to give young 'racially pure' girls the opportunity to give birth in secret. Such 'pure' girls could come to these Lebensborn centres to create a baby with one of the SS officers. They could also have the baby at the Lebensborn centre. The children would then be taken away from their mothers and given to the SS, who took charge of their education and upbringing. Many of these children grew up never knowing their biological parents. The Lebensborn policy went even further during World War II. In the countries that Germany occupied, the SS would kidnap children who had blonde hair and blue eyes, and take them to the Lebensborn centres. There, they were forced to reject their background and to accept the Nazi teachings. Some were told that their parents had abandoned them. In the end, most of them were however taken to German concentration or death camps, where they were killed. Others were adopted by SS families. This process was known as Germanisation.
The propaganda the Nazis put out was that Hitler was a product of the three races of Germans. Otherwise, the blonde hair and blue eyed business was just useful propaganda, as it was common in members of the “master race” (albeit present among groups he considered untermenschen as well). It seems that Hitler told a confidant that he knew the race business was nonsense. He just found it useful for his political ends.
It wasn’t really about eye or hair colour, it was primarily about someones racial background, you could be a brown eyed, black haired German and be fine, but if you were a blue eyed, brown haired jew, you would still be persecuted. Colouring wasnt the point, that was just an idea used to rank already accepted Germanic peoples.
Blonde hair and blue eyes are a Northern European trait and he was trying to model the aryan race after north europeans.
You can see in many tantra books there are many herbal remedies to make the hair dark black to increase beauty. There are hundreds of tantra books which were part of ancient Indian Ayurveda and other branches. The person’s whose hairs have lost color should blacken them, otherwise none of the cosmetics and unguents would give lusture and beauty to their personalities. This is a description from a tantra text. So Hitler’s ideal blonde hair was not that fashionable in ancient India. Some of his assistants had ancient Indian texts with them. The funny fact is that Europeans in ancient Indian texts are associated with Danavas a type of devils or demons. So it was more like he was trying to create an ideal demon race, from a perspective of ancient aryan texts.
According to Nazi race theory nobody living in the 20th Century was a pure bred Aryan (aka. the Master Race). It was just that some races were purer and closer to the Aryan ideal than others:
The intention was by preventing inferior races from continuing to breed with the superior ones (by any means necessary, including forced sterilisation and eventually extermination), the superior people's would become purer and purer, until the Master Racec race was recreated.
NB. This was of course complete and utter pseudo-scientific hogwash. And has become more so as time has passed and actual science has advanced.
itler was not the only one who thought that, many people in Europe especially Western Europe had such beliefs. Even in North America (“Anglo-Saxon race”), such beliefs were found and led to programs such as eugenics and so on. However, Hitler and the Nazi government were probably the first to put it on a massive scale. Most people who were called and considered themselves Whites or of European descent saw themselves as superior to any other non-Whites in the world. This arrogance had some of its foundation on colonialism, imperialism, Western European powers were the most dominant at the time. Hitler was a White supremacist inspired by the likes of Gobineau ( France) , Gunther ( Germany) and many others. These people “glorified” Europeans with the lightest pigmentation such as blond, blue-eyed, fair-skinned ones who were seen as the “purest Whites” ( what a joke, hey?) These types of Europeans were said to be more numerous in Germanic-speaking countries ( e.g. Germany, Norway, etc…). Thus Nazis in their stupid racist state of mind wanted all Germans to look like that ultimately like that. Hitler was not blond-haired, but he was surely blue-eyed(“piercing blue”). He was probably a “racist psychopath”, but so were many people of his days.
According to Hitler and his peers, “Nordics” so-called, with their blond or fair-haired, blue-eyed combinations were said to make up:
80% + in Sweden
80% in Norway
60% in Britain
55% in Germany
25% in France
Hitler had brown hair in a country of blondes and blue. 150 years ago, different ethnicities didn’t intermarry much. To be browned haired in Germany you probably have some Slovak, Roma, or Jewish ancestry. Roma and Slovak ancestry are pretty much out of the question, but Hitler’s Jewish roots has been speculated by historians for years.
Hitler was not the only one. His top lieutenant Reinhard Heydrich was bullied as a kid for his rumored Jewish ancestry. In a drunk fit of rage, Heydrich shot his image in the mirror screaming ‘die you stinking Jew!’
There is no hatred more intense than self hatred. The ability to inflict cruelty onto your own demographics as a way to demonstrate loyalty is old as mankind.
It was not Hitler’s idea to pick blue, blonde-eyed people out at random. He did so because many Germans were blonde and blue-eyed at that time. He thought that the preferred people were of his nationality and country. Of course others who were slavs like Poles, Czechs and many others who were darker-haired and may have had a darker complexion were not desirable either.
My family escaped from Latvia (Baltics) with the last ship that picked up refugees who were running from Communism. This ship was sent by Germany to rescue us and take us to Germany. Hitler considered us similar to the Germans as many of us were also blonde and blue-eyed.
Aryan does not mean blonde hair and blue eyes. You are thinking of the Nordic Race which is part of the Aryans.
For some reason people confuse the Nordic Race with Aryan. This confusion probably has something to do with SS Leader Heinrich Himmler’s Nordic recruitment into the SS.
It seems to me that a lot of people are confused about the term “Aryan” and “Nordic Race” of the blond hair and blue eyes.
The reason why people are confused is because of Heinrich Himmler and his SS ideologists that were after the myth of pure, Nordic blood to be rediscovered and revived. Himmler did this by recruiting Germans in the SS that were carefully selected. The SS preferred recruiting as many applicants as Nordic as possible. This included their spouses too from a racial perspective.
What exactly was “Aryan” to Hitler? Essentially Hitler’s goal was to unite people of Germanic descent.
The “non-Aryans” were the Jews, Slavs, Romani, and the Poles to Hitler and the Nazis.
It was more Himmler than Hitler who was obsessed with blond hair and blue eyes. In fact Himmler espoused the Nordic ideal, and when he discovered that the Slavic sub-humans also included an abundance of blue eye blonds he arranged for 500,000 children (200,000 from Poland alone) to be snatched from their parents and taken to Germany for Germanisation.
Hitler was more focussed on conquest and the 1000 year Reich and saw the need to destroy Poland and the USSR. That said only a handful of the Nazi leadership actually fit the Nordic ideal in their appearance. One of these was Heydrich who allegedly had some Jewish ancestry while in contrast the 100% German Rudolf Hess was rather swarthy. I would also mention that ‘Aryan’ is a term extending to all Europeans as well as Kurds, Iranians, Afghans and Northern Indians who speak the Indo-European language by token of sharing the same ancestry of those who from Anatolia migrated to Europe and further East to Iran and beyond, and hence the term ‘Indo-European’.
Many people still believe that Aryan and blond hair is Germanic and that those with blond hair and blue eyes must have Germanic ancestors. Well, that is not only bullshit but horse shit. The Urgo-Finnic peoples are the blondest per capitita and many Russians have Finnic ancestors who over a millennium ago were assimilated by Slavs migrating into what is today Northern Russia.
Just to be clear there is no race of blonds. Blond hair is a pigment mutation found all over Europe, but mostly in Northern Europe. Peter Frost had a theory that in mostly Northern Europe when there was a shortage of men the blond women stood out and were able to breed with more males than those who had darker hair. This is the reason why Frost postulated that the blond gene mutation became more prevalent around the Baltic and what is today Northern Russia.
