As Sargent Schultz would say ...... "I know nothing, I see nothing, I did not even wake up this morning!"
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
The full name of Adolf Hitler's party was Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei (National Socialist German Workers' Party). The acronym Nazi was formed from the first syllable of NAtional and the second syllable of SoZIalist. Such acronyms, usually formed from the initial letters or syllables of successive parts of compound names, were popular in the Third Reich. Another such example was Gestapo for GEheime STAatsPOlizei (Secret State Police)
Excellent Vinny, you are now ready to advance to Level 2

Code: Select allAry·an adj.
Word History: It is one of the ironies of history that Aryan, a word nowadays referring to the blond-haired, blue-eyed physical ideal of Nazi Germany, originally referred to a people who looked vastly different. Its history starts with the ancient Indo-Iranians, Indo-European peoples who inhabited parts of what are now Iran, Afghanistan, and India. Their tribal self-designation was a word reconstructed as *arya- or *rya-. The first of these is the form found in Iranian, as ultimately in the name of Iran itself (from Middle Persian rn (ahr), "(Land) of the Iranians," from the genitive plural of r, "Iranian"). The variant *rya- is found unchanged in Sanskrit, where it referred to the upper crust of ancient Indian society. These words became known to European scholars in the 18th century. The shifting of meaning that eventually led to the present-day sense started in the 1830s, when Friedrich Schlegel, a German scholar who was an important early Indo-Europeanist, came up with a theory that linked the Indo-Iranian words with the German word Ehre, "honor," and older Germanic names containing the element ario-, such as the Swiss warrior Ariovistus who was written about by Julius Caesar. Schlegel theorized that far from being just a designation of the Indo-Iranians, the word *arya- had in fact been what the Indo-Europeans called themselves, meaning something like "the honorable people." (This theory has since been called into question.) Thus "Aryan" came to be synonymous with "Indo-European," and in this sense entered the general scholarly consciousness of the day. Not much later, it was proposed that the original homeland of the Indo-Europeans had been in northern Europe. From this theory, it was but a small leap to think of the Aryans as having had a northern European physiotype. While these theories were playing themselves out, certain anti-Semitic scholars in Germany took to viewing the Jews in Germany as the main non-Aryan people because of their Semitic roots; a distinction thus arose in their minds between Jews and the "true Aryan" Germans, a distinction that later furnished unfortunate fodder for the racial theories of the Nazis.
OK, if that is the point you are driving for ... then your question was poorly stated. You asked bout Nazis ... not Aryans. Not being a Nazi, I've never considered them Aryans. Yes the Nazi's had many idiotic ideas ... one of them was that they were Aryans. I had thought that the folly of this belief was common knowledge as of decades ago when learning about the early settlements of the Indus Valley . It is surprising to me that you only recently learned about this. So much for our school systems, eh? Maybe they just left that kind of stuff out of those "creationist" textbooks you got down that way.

Hitler had the majority of Germany's population marching in the name of his version of TRUTH HONOR BLOOD and they loved him for it.
Paperdog, it is perfectly alright by me if you are inspired by Vampier's romantic fantasies that he calls THE TRUTH ... if you're feeling that TRUTH, then go for it dude!

(maybe you're hoping that if you are a good dog, he will pull some strings with his buddies in the showbiz industry to help further your musical career ambitions.
I do not buy Vampiers version of the TRUTH ... and so Vampier calls for my extermination (he does feel himself superior enough to want to eliminate those who do not suck up to him) just as would any charismatic totalitarian dictator (or wannabe) ... Pol Pot was niether a Nazi or an Aryan. He was just another who spoke much of TRUTH, HONOR, BLOOD.
