Aryan Descent facts
While investigating facts about Aryan Descent, I found out little known, but curios details like:
When JRR Tolkien was asked for proof of Aryan descent in Germany, 1938, he replied, "If impertinent and irrelevant inquiries of this sort are to become the rule in matters of literature, then the time is not far distant when a German name will no longer be a source of pride."
Adolf Hitler could not prove who his grandfather was, as his father was born illegitimately and his paternity was never established, meaning he could not prove his own "Aryan descent"
In my opinion, it is useful to put together a list of the most interesting details from trusted sources that I've come across. Here are 4 of the best facts about Aryan Descent I managed to collect.
-
In 1938 JRR Tolkien wrote two letters to a German publisher, whom under Third Reich dictates, asked for proof of his "Aryan descent"
-
Hitler thought his Asian allies--the Japanese--had enough "German-Nordic" qualities that he declared them ALL to be Honorary Aryans, a title that he also gave to a few of his German favorites who were of Jewish descent.
