Why did Hitler view Slavic people as sub-human?

Question

It seems kind of strange that Hitler would view Slavs, who are Aryan, as sub-human. Why did he, and how did he view other white groups, like Italians, Swedes, and Irish people? Please, no vague comments. Just looking for true facts.

Answer 1

The guy was sick out of his mind.

Answer 2

Because they weren't like him. The man was trying to start a dominate race of pale skin,blond hair,blue eyes. Which is kinda strange because the man had brown hair and brown eyes and had traces of jewish religion  in his family.  He didn't focas on on the others as much as jewish people, and slavic people. The man was off his rocker i belive.

Answer 3

He veiwed slavic people as un human. As un human and unfit for life as the jews. He viewed italians as slightly lower than Germans (in his mind no one was equal to germans). The swedes were not viewed as bad or  good by Hitler. Irish were also neutral to hitler. If you didn't go against hitler in ww2 he wouldn't hate you.

Answer 4

Why did he view Jews as sub human? He needed scapegoats to blame for Germany's problems.

Answer 5

Hitler viewed The Aryan Germans as being the pinnacle of human evolution, that the "lesser" races (Jews, Slavs, etc) were actually detrimental to the continued evolution of humanity.

Also keep in mind the situation. Back then, Germany stood at the pinnacle of the world in terms of scientific, industrial, and philosophical achievement. Some of the greatest thinkers of the modern era, Kant, Hegel, Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, Wittgenstein, were all Germans. It's not hard to see why Germans thought of themselves as the pinnacle of humanity.

Furthermore, There was an idea that was highly prevalent from the 1860s up until the 1940's, and that was the idea of Eugenics. The idea was that logic states that since you could breed animals to be better, stronger, smarter, etc, then humans could also be "bred" to be faster, stronger, smarter, etc. This idea was thought of as being implementable in various degrees until it was taken to an appalling standard by the n***s.

So there is a logic to it, no matter how twisted it is. Hitler saw the Aryans as the peak of human civilization, and he sought to reduce the things that would hinder their evolution, which included the "undesirables" of society, homosexuals, Gypsies, Mentally handicapped, Slavs and, of course, the Jews
