"Every manifestation of human culture, every product of art, science and technical skill, which we see before our eyes today, is almost exclusively the product of Aryan creative power." Unite all Germans (Aryan = blonde
hair, blue eyes) Very anticommunist

Racial purification (all races not German) Aryan (blue-eyed, blonde-haired)

World War II Begins in Europe

WWII Begins in Europe
Hitler signed a non-aggression pact with Joseph Stalin. The pact was an agreement that neither country would attack the other. Both men believed the pact was a strategic move: Hitler saw it as a way to keep the USSR from attacking Germany, while Stalin saw it as a way to provide the USSR with time to prepare for Germany’s inevitable invasion.
