Ever since junior high, maybe even before, I've heard things like "Hitler didn't like anybody that didn't have blond hair and blue eyes", or "Hitler had kids, but killed them 'cause they didn't have blond hair and blue eyes". Even my professor this year at university said something like this during a lecture.
Yes, in the writings of different Nazi's one will find that they argued for an Aryan race to civilize the world and things like that, but I don't think anyone can give me proof as to where they state that an aryan is one who is blond-haired as well as blue-eyed, and tall. For one, Hitler was dark-haired, even during childhood, and about 5' 8". His minister of propaganda was even shorter than he was, and had dark hair and brown eyes. It would seem like a stupid idea for a leader of a country to to declare that anyone who wasn't blond and blue eyed was inferior when it was quite apparent that most nazi leaders weren't.
Anyway, I'm not a fascist or anything, I'm just looking for proof to verify this argument that this is what the Nazi's argued for.
