That should be on about page 3 comrade. After my only trusted co driver is revealed to be an African American known to tue rover enthusiasts as Trevor combs. Why would an African American ever be in the same truck as a nazi?
I can field that one!
Dig deeper than your textbooks, kids. History is written by the victors, and advancements, as well as beliefs, are exploited for oppression and war, regardless of their initial intent.
The Nazis that weren't busy being politicians, making war, or running concentration camps; those that were the origin of a movement that became terribly perverse, were deep into the exploration of genetics, in search of the fabled "master race". Far from a race to rule all races, they searched for an origin; the single point from which human history exploded.
They believed that the point of origin was Atlantis, and they went to enormous lengths to link modern history with a forgotten past. They saw two peaks of civilization instead of one. Atlantis, to them, was a particularly advanced city-state, given it's position in trade. Over time that power, as all powers, became corrupt.
They engaged a large expansion, later echoed by more academically acceptable empires. To the similarly corrupt Nazi powers, Atlantis eventually became the First Riche.
It wasn't to last, however. A cataclysmic flood (prompted by either an earthquake or a collision), recorded the world over, wiped out Atlantis and destroyed coastal city-states and colonies. Centers of power, learning, and trade were at once brought to their knees. Warlords emerged, rendering the few outposts powerless over time.
That left (what the "Nazis" believed to be) the most powerful and original of races scattered across the world; their bloodline diluted by time, environment, and distance. Certain people wanted to find out where the most pure bloodlines survived. It was this search that was turned into hatred. Science will turn to power for support, when all else fails.
Far from the blond-haired, blue-eyed white man, these people determined that the one of the most pure modern races was quite different than what we are lead to believe today:
Tibetans. That's right, kids. The most pure Aryan bloodline, to their minds, was found in Tibet.
Things went too far, and became embroiled in politics and war, though. The quest was never finished. Indeed, this is one very solid reason Atlantis is laughed off the academic stage to this day. In order to research it, you've got to open some
seriously nasty old wounds.
We got over some of their science eventually, for necessity and war, but this pushed the limits so very far.
Too far. It's not coming back. Indeed, it's fading fast from paper into memory, and from memory into death.
So, to those who prompted the original movement before it was perverted by power and greed, a black African wasn't a person to be reviled or feared. At the very worst, he was a science experiment. At the very best, he was just another guy they weren't looking for.
There was a character designed in fiction who was meant to accurately represent the perfect Aryan, and that character was Conan the Cimmerian, and indeed, he was accepted as such.
While this is random artwork, it is a faithful representation of the intent of his appearance; the appearance of a true member of the "Master Race":

Blond-haired bastards be damned. It's no surprise they spent time looking about in Africa before turning their eyes elsewhere, to the west and to the east.
The quest, however, was just what Hitler and the Nazi party needed in order to rile up the nation. Germany wasn't a happy place. Unfortunately for the Jews, for every hero, there must be a villain.
Cheers,
