Via "Rudel" at ST:
Every youth and maiden in the NS Germany was so
frequently reminded of the the decalogue below that
they almost knew it by heart. (I retyped this from the book
"Into the darkness" by L.Stoddard available from
www.noontidepress.com and from the www.natvan.com web
sites).
Being an European that lives in the US, I would substitute German with 'White', but otherwise there is very little to add to the idealistic "Ten Commandments".
Ten Commandments for the Choice of a Mate
1.Remember that thou art a German! All that thou art,
thou owest, not to thine self, but to thy people.
Whether thou willest or not, thou belongest thereto;
from thy people hast thou come forth. In all thou
doest, bethink thee whether it be to thy people's best
advancement.
2.Thou shalt maintain purity of mind and spirit!
Cherish and foster thy mental and spiritual
capacities. Keep far from thy mind and soul whatsoever
is instinctively foreign to them, what is contrary to
thy true self, what thine inner conscience rejects.
Seeking after money and worldly goods, after quick
preferment, after material pleasures, may often lead
you to forget higher things. Be true to thine self,
and before aught else be worthy of thy future
life-mate.
3.Keep the body clean! Maintain the good health
received from thy parents, in order to serve thy
people. Guard against expending it uselessly and
foolishly. A moment's sensual gratification may
lastingly wreck thine health and heritable treasure
whereon thy children and children's children have a
compelling claim. What thou dreamest from thy future
life partner, that must thou demand from thyself.
Remember that you are destined to be a German Parent.
4. Being of sound stock, thou shall not remain single!
All thy qualities of body and spirit perish if you
diest without heirs. They are a heritage, a donation
from thine ancestors. They exist as a chain of which
thou art but a link. Durst thou break that chain, save
under stern necessity? Thy life is straitly bound by
time; family and folk endure. Thy hereditary estate of
body and spirit prospers in thy waxing offspring.
5.Marry only for love! Money is perishable stuff and
ensures no lasting happiness. Where the divine spark
of love is absent, there can no worthy marriage
endure. Wealth of heart and soul is the foundation of
a lasting, happy union.
6.As a German, choose a mate only of thine own or
kindred blood! Where like meets like, there rules true
unison. Where unlike races mix, there is discord.
Mixing racial stocks which do not harmonize leads to
the degeneracy and downfall of both strains of
peoples. The more unlike the mixtures, the faster this
takes place. Guard thyself from such ruin! True
happiness springs only from harmonious blood.
7.In choosing thy mate, consider the ancestry! Thou
weddest not only thy mate but also thy life-partner's
forebears. Worthy descendants are to be expected only
where worthy ancestors went before. Gifts of mind and
spirit are just as much inherited as the color of hair
and eyes. Bad traits are bequeathed precisely like
lands or goods. Naught in the whole world is so
precious as the seeds of a gifted stock; noxious seeds
cannot be transformed into good ones. Wherefore, mary
not the one worthy member of a bad family.
8.Health is the prerequisite for even outward beauty!
Health is the best guarantee for lasting happiness,
for it is the basis for both external happiness and
inward harmony. Demand of thy mate medical assurance
of fitness for marriage, as thou thyself must also do.
9.In marriage seek not a plaything but a helpmeet!
Marriage is not a transient game but a lasting union.
The supreme aim of marriage is the raising of healthy
offspring. Only by union of beings who are like in
spirit, body and blood can this goal be attained, to
the blessing of themselves and thy people. For each
race has its own ethos; so like souls can alone endure
together.
10. Thou shalt desire many children! Only by
engendering at least four children can the continuance
of the people be assured. Only by having an even
larger number can the greatest possible proportion of
the traits inherited by thine ancestors be surely
handed down. No child wholly resembles another. Each
child inherits different traits. Many different
children greatly enhances the worth of a people and
are the surest guarantees for its future. Thou wilt
soon pass away; What thou givest to thy descendants
endures. Thy people liveth forever!
