I remember watching something on the history channel about a myth that said that the superior species of germany was blonde-haired and blue-eyed and giant(really big) and the jews were not. It said that the jews integrated with the superiors and made them shorter and mixed eye/hair colors. This is why Hitler targeted jews of all people. He was not the only person to believe this and it was actually a well known idea in Germany back then, but Hitler was the only one who acted on this hate on such a massive scale. my question is... What was the superior race called? I think it started with an A... If you know then I would greatly appreciate an answer because I have been trying to remember this for a while now. thanks.

Aryan. Aryan is a term used to describe people indo-european of indo-european descent . Hitler and his cronies took a bad interpretation of a popular Nietsche philosophy at the time, the "ubermensch" (super race) concept. Nietsche in a nutshell said that mankind needed to step up to the new challenges, and in doing so would create a superior race. Most people believed that this simply meant that people in general should become more educated and enlightened, creating a super race. Hitler twisted this idea and said that there already was a superior race, the Aryans. He made Germans believe they were superior, Aryan, and they were simultaneously being threatened by the "Jewish race". The rest is history.

not like the retards above i do know about Hitler. Hitler's stepfather was a Jew and he blamed his terrible life in WW I and after on the Jews and it became a "remember the Alamo" for Germany to get back her into the superpower she was before WW I
it was a way to unite Germany under his control. It would be like Jesse Jackson saying lets take over the US government and all the blacks rising against whites and using the slavery issue i common enemy of a group see what i mean.
Aryn and actually the type of people he was talking about never was in germany it was the Vikings not the team lol but from Norway

Hitler was trying to reproduce the Aryan race. This is a legendary race from the biblical days. The Aryan race was thought of as being a tall sometimes referred to as giants, white, with blond hair and blue eyes. Some think this race is what was referred to in the bible as the Nephilim, and some think they were descendants from Atlantis, and still some think they were aliens. They were supposedly an intellectually advanced race that came from the far north and settled around Turkey and traveled to India and taught them many of the Vendic philosophies.
Hitler was well known for his research into many biblical mysteries and into the occult.

Hitler was part Jew himself but he thought that Germans were more superior than any other race and he wanted to create a nation with only blue-eyed people; he thought that all Germans were the 'master race'. He issued euthenasia (the killing of the terminally ill) and abortion in hospitals because he believed in the survival of the fittest.

Hitler and Haaman were 2 Men who were both full of themselves and both were part of satan's play to try wiping out the Jews.
But by the grace of God the plans failed.
While Hitler did kill 6 Million Jews there were many Jews all over the world that did in fact survive.
Not to mention many races have been completely wiped in the past but by the grace of God no one can ever wipe out the Jewish race.
Haaman could not do it, Hitler could not do it and guess what Palestine is gonna get their butt whipped if they even try.

Don't be lulled into thinking Hitler had some radical new ideas regarding persecution of the Jews. It has been going on for thousands of years and many European countries have expelled them at some point in there history. Oh, and Henry Ford (the car guy) also was a well-known anti-semite who recieved the highest decoration possible for a non-German citizen for his support of the Nazi Party.

He not only targeted the jews because he thought that they were inferior. He put the blame on them for economic troubles and social turmoil the Germany was going through at the time. He used the Jews as scapegoats to unite the people against them and to bring more to hus cause.

Hitler's racist policies targeted Gypsies, Jews, Homosexuals, Communists etc etc. The Jews were particularly targeted as they controlled many financial institutions and businesses in Germany.

Not exactly, no. There was a history of anti-Semitism throughout Christian Europe ever since Europe was predominantly Christian. Ask a historian, or read a book. Hitler was successful with his Jewish roundups and killings because he had the _cooperation_ of the Christian churches and the people of Europe. Hitler though of himself, among other things, very much a Christian and he thought he was God's agent for "purifying" the world of "undesirables."

The race is called Aryan. The reason Hitler (not tall, not blond, & not blue-eyed by the way) could be due to the fact that he was the illigitimate child of his mother and a Jewish man who never claimed him or supported him.
