dimensional has created a (closed) thread doubting the Nazis were racists. The question is very stupid as the Nazis were officially racists. The divided the people into Jews, Half-Jews, Quarter-Jews, ect. The same applies for Gypsies and others. Where you can study, work, what food rations you get, who you can marry depended on your racial assessment. "Aryans" had to provide centuries-long jew-free family trees (similar to a negative corona test).
- Jews did indeed fight in the Wehrmacht
The reason was that the army was not so politicized and the Jews in the Wehrmacht where temporarily save from the Gestapo and other government bodies.
- Colored folks fought indeed for the Germans
Many Indians were forced to serve in the British military, else their families won´t get food. To them the Brits were the occupier of their country. Many joined German forces in Africa, mostly after being captured. Some of them were brought to Germany and trained. There was even an Indian army organized by Germany, but they ran away. Hitler said they would be the best solders if it was about turning prayer mills.
Also some Africans sympathized with Germany for similar reasons.
I hope, this historic question is now solved.
