The racial principle
The opinion that it’s the highest duty of a Volk to preserve its race and blood from alien influences and to eradicate those elements of alien blood that managed to get into it, an opinion that is deeply rooted in national socialist thought, is based on the scientific findings of blood-inheritance studies and racial science. According to national socialist thought, which deals fairly with each race and nation, this never talks about higher or lower racial influences, but merely of alien racial influences.
The term of Aryan ancestry
Because the findings in the field of racial science have determined that the German people are composed, next to the decisive element of the Nordic Race, also of a lower amount of more or less related racial elements, which are also building blocks of the European neighboring peoples, the term that has been chosen to express the entirety of all the racial elements that make up the German people is “Aryan” (which is different from the same term used in linguist studies!), which summarizes the German blood and all blood that is closely related to it under one common racial term. Exactly the same breath of definition has the term “German or German-related blood” in the Reichsbürgergesetz (law of Reich citizenship).
Of Aryan ancestry (=“German-blooded”) is everyone who is free from any element of alien - from the perspective of the German people - blood. Alien is defined here primarily as the blood of the Jews and Gypsies who live in European lands, blood of the Asiatic and African races and of the natives of Australia and America (Indians), while for example an Englishman or a Swede, a Frenchman or a Czech, a Pole or an Italian, as long as he himself is free from such elements of alien blood, is to be considered as related, and therefore as Aryan.“ so such a person must count as Aryan, no matter if he lives in his homeland, in East Asia, or in America, may he be a citizen of the USA or of a South American state.
That in case of, for example, a marriage, a member of the German people or a girl of pure German ancestry is closer to us than any other Aryan of more distantly related blood, is self-evident.
In any case it’s the duty and task of the individual to carry with him the proof of his Aryan ancestry based on the laws that apply to him, in many cases also to carry the proof of Aryan ancestry of his/her marriage partner.
The "German-blooded” in this text is put in quotation marks because it doesn’t mean Aryan = German-blooded, but because German-blooded (Deutschblütig) was the official bureaucratic designation for German citizens with pure Aryan ancestry.
It was also mainly used as a designation for those with slightly tainted ancestry, but still in an acceptable percentage.
Like, if you had one jewish great-great-great-grandpa, that still makes you deutschblütig if every other ancestor of yours was Aryan.
And it’s also a useful term for integrating non-German Aryans into the Reich, like my grandfather who was half-Russian half-German, and since Slav = Aryan he was considered deutschblütig and even allowed to join the NSDAP.
It’s a more easily understandable term for the common German than Aryan would be, since it literally says “This person is of your blood.”
Which Aryan also says but deutschblütig is easy to understand since it’s directly in the word, you don’t need to get the whole concept of the Aryan race to understand what deutschblütig means therefore it’s a useful bureaucratic designation.
