Abstract des Autors
The Nazi dream of breeding a perfect Aryan race, the Herrenvolk, struck much of the scientific community of the time as modern and logical. The measures taken to implement it were also rational, if inhumane: eliminating those of inferior reproductive potential from the breeding process; encouraging those of a superior potential to produce more; and selecting and training the elite. This essay shows how sport and physical education were used to strengthen the race and to showcase the vitality of the new Germany, but it also demonstrates the cruelty of the efforts to shape Superman the Nazi way.
