Second World War

The SS had an "ideology school" for their soldiers, where "race theory" was part of the curriculum.^[1]

↑ Verdens Gang, 2010-11-11,Frivillig til tjeneste i helvete (An interview of former soldier Bjørn Lindstad),pages 44,45: "Du gikk på SS-ideologiskole i Sennheim og beskriver detaljert i boken om raselære og jødehets. Ble du ideologisk påvirket? — Sikkert, det ville vært rart ellers. Senere erfarte vi at jøder ikke var slik propagandaen fremstilte dem."
