Himmler's INSANE Reason for Recruiting non-Germans in the Waffen-SS


TLDW: Basically, due to complete pusedo-science and pusedo-histroy, other races at other points in time had various different "injections" of Aryan/Nordic blood in them. Therefore, through weird Social Darwinism theory, the Third Reich could harvest the "Racial Souls" of those who'd died in combat, because their "Racial Souls" would live on and be absorbed through their comrades who survived, thereby beginning a purification process.

Basically, straight nutter-butter stuff. Also brings up how more than 50% of the Waffen-SS was not "ethnically pure", and hardly elite.

I'd post in the history forum, but it's slow, and I know WWII stuff is interesting to a lot in GD.

Most of the racialist theories of the Nazis were no more thought out than the "we wuz kangz" side.

Well, only the biggest dipshits alienate an ethnic population that make up some of that country’s smartest scientists, leading banking officials, and best industrialist...when starting a World War.  Not mention the whole needing manpower thing..

They needed more bodies is why they allowed it. They then justified it with that.

Pretty much.

When your racial theories are put forward by a guy called the "Race Pope", it's not a hard conclusion to say there isn't a whole basis in any of it.

I doubt it was that.

That was probably just an excuse.

The SS had to fight for weapons, use foreign ones, and generally were looked down on by the regular Heer soldiers.

Thus if they couldn't even get weapons, they probably couldn't even get ethnic "Aryans" into it.

Thus, the recruitment of foreigners.

Sounds like the same kind of mental gymnastics that makes people believe in infinite genders. Purely a coincidence. I am sure..

Warm bodies to die for the Fuhrer.  

German army (Heer) couldn't accept foreigners.  But the SS  could and did.

Why dismissive of it? It's not wrong, and it's an interesting tidbit of the Nazi's crazy racial ideology.

I remember as a very young boy I had some sort of counter-culture appreciation for NAZI Germany.  Mostly because they were labeled as 'right wing' and anti Commie, but I didn't understand who they really were.

Then in a history class in Junior High or High school we watched a video about the cult-like religion and outright satanism surrounding the most ardent NAZI leadership.  Immediately I recognized them for what they really were.  Living demons, devils, trash, evil, etc.  Whatever you want to call them, it wasn't enough.  

May they all burn in hell.

Emil Maurice, who was Hitler's chauffeur, had Jewish ancestry and was targeted by Himmler to be kicked out of the SS until Hitler compelled Himmler to make an exception...………..Maurice had taken part in the Beer Hall Putsch and had won the coveted Blood Order medal

That wouldn't be a true assessment....Heer soldiers in Germany proper aspired to be Waffen SS much like line cops want to be SWAT..

Same mentality of "specialness"...By the end of the war, nothing mattered any more, and foreign units were created that would have never been created prior.

There was a weird love triangle between Maurice, Geli Raubal(Hitler's half-neice) and Hitler as well.

It's a click-baity title for sure.

Lots of BS on the Waffen SS. Point in fact most of the foreign volunteers didnt share Germans racial ideology and joined to smash the reds. Keep in mind outside of Germany none of these guys grew up learning and being exposed to racial propaganda, especially in Scandinavian countries.

The video doesn't speak at all on the individual ideology of the SS volunteers.

Just speaks to the backwards justification the Nazis used to fill waffen SS ranks.
