Pen & Sword Books Ltd Himmlers Children
The Nazis' dream was to populate their future Greater-German Reich exclusively with racial valuable' people and Himmler became the main executor of this gruesome and unimaginable plan. For this purpose, millions of inferior' people had to be expelled or killed, while as many men, women and children of Germanic descent as possible had to be brought together in the territory of the Third Reich. Children were the key players in Himmler's sinister plans, and the Lebensborn programme exploited luxurious maternity homes, led by SS-officers, for selected women with the required Aryan features. The pregnant women, often not married, and the fathers of their future children, usually members of the SS, had to comply with very strict racial requirements: Himmler considered their offspring as the future nobility of the Germanic empire. Obsessed with racial purity and birth rates, the Lebensborn programme fell directly under Himmler's personal control, and arguably became his favourite project.
