Incarcerated in Cell № 7 in the Fortress Prison in Landsberg Am Lech in the Bavarian state, Adolf Hitler in 1924 wrote in what was to become the agenda for Nazi Germany in the next few decades…
A folk-State should in the first place raise matrimony from the level of being a constant scandal to the race. The State should consecrate it as an institution which is called upon to produce creatures made in the likeness of the Lord and not create monsters that are a mixture of man and ape. The protest which is put forward in the name of humanity does not fit the mouth of a generation that makes it possible for the most depraved degenerates to propagate themselves, thereby imposing unspeakable suffering on their own products and their contemporaries, while on the other hand contraceptives are permitted and sold in every drug store and even by street hawkers, so that babies should not be born even among the healthiest of our people.
Mein Kampf, Volume 2, Chapter 2. Adolf Hitler
Hitler was first and foremost a believer in the racial supremacy of the German people and obsessed with the idea of a pure race, physically and mentally perfect. In Mein Kampf, he bemoaned the loss of what he called Germanic ethos and rededicated himself to the goal of a Germany in which there would only be pure blooded individuals, conforming to his vision of a mentally and physically perfect race.
Disconcerting echoes of this ideal of physical and mental superiority were heard in courtroom № 11 in the Punjab and Haryana High Court earlier this month.
