youth... There must be nothing weak or tender about them. The
freedom and dignity of the wild beast must shine from their eyes... That
is how I will root out a thousand years of human domestication. 90

But how did Hitler intend to create his "powerful, masterly, cruel and
fearless youth?" Propaganda methods alone would not suffice. Nazi racial
theory saw man as a species of animal, and considered that he could be
improved by the same methods used by farmers.
Therefore, the Nazis embraced the theory of "eugenics" and pursued its
implementation. As we saw earlier in this book, eugenics is a policy that seeks
the "improvement of mankind," which has its roots in the ancient Greek pagan
city of Sparta, and was resurrected by Charles Darwin's cousin Francis Galton
in the 19th century. Ernst Haeckel described how eugenics could be carried
out, and defended the killing of deformed babies from the time of birth, and
that unhealthy people and the weak or mentally handicapped should be
sterilized.
The Nazis lost no time in implementing this inhumane policy. When
they came to power in 1933 they instituted "racial hygiene" laws. According to
these laws, the mentally handicapped and the sick were to be sterilized, and
thus, prevented from reproducing. They were even to be weeded out of society,
and for this reason, were gathered together in special centers. The Nazis set up
these centers without delay, and threw large numbers of people into them,
where they treated them like animals. The Nazi Hereditary Health Courts
reviewed nearly 80,000 proposals to sterilize persons in their first two years of
operation, and they approved the vast majority of these petitions. 91
In time, German eugenic policy became steadily more perverse,
eventually resulting in large scale "euthanasia" of retarded persons, the insane,
and other desirables. In other words, these people were killed. Films and
photographs of this period make light of the tragedy of the killing of the
mentally or physically ill by being injected with poison by Nazi doctors. The
elderly and little children as well were subjected to this sort of savagery.
As Nazi Germany unflinchingly executed such barbarity, it also pushed
"positive eugenics," encouraging the union of Aryan women and men to
produce children who Nazi public officials believed would be endowed with
92
superior genes. With this in mind, select females with the necessary "superior
race" traits (being blond and strong, with blue eyes) were even placed in
special homes, and were impregnated by as many Nazi officers as possible.
The aim was to produce a great "Aryan race," like breeding a cow or
horse. But the results were a disappointment to the Nazis, the IQs of the
children that resulted being lower than that of the parents, and regressing
