I was reading about World War II and was surprised to learn that Hitler and the Nazis considered Slavic people to be racially inferior to Germanic and Nordic people and not Aryan. I have German and Ukrainian heritage but I never thought that one was superior to the other. Does anyone know why they thought Slavs were inferior?

I am a bit surprised you don't know more about this considering your heritage. Hitler 's dream was for the blond haired blue eyed Aryans to rule the earth. Anyone or any race other than that fell short in his idealology. Almost funny considering his heritage and background.
