Jews and other “non-Nordics” represent the missing link between man and beast, it was “disclosed” today in a new textbook for schools by Dr. Hermann Gauch, Nazi anthropologist, entitled “New Principles of Racial Research.”
“The non-Nordic man is a transition stage between Nordic man and the animal kingdom, as represented by the anthropoid apes,” according to this Third Reich “scientist.”
“Though Nordic characteristics, such as East Baltic blue eyes, may also occur in such animals as white geese, some other cognate family of animals will be found not to possess them.
DOGS AND NORDICS
“The possession of a single characteristic cannot justify general conclusions. Dogs, for example, possess the Nordic virtue of fidelity, which does not occur in non-Nordic man.”
Disregarding the rules of logic, Dr. Gauch then writes as follows:
“The only characteristic which distinguishes the Nordic man from the apes also distinguishes him from non-Nordic man, and vice versa. Hence the non-Nordic characteristics are animal ones and are at least sub-human.”
“Facts” of this sort are being solemnly taught in the German schools these days.
ALEXANDER AND HITLER
Dr. Theodor Steudel, author of a textbook on Greek and Roman history, has just produced a supplement in which the connection between the world of Alexander the Great and that of Reichsfuehrer Adolf Hitler is “established.”
The Persians were of Nordic extraction, this writer “proves,” quoting their watchword:
“Shoot straight and tell the truth.”
Ancient Rome is also shown to owe its glories to Nordic influence and its collapse to the subversive activities of other races.
