The idea was to produce the Master Race.

      Apparently, the women volunteered, although there were some who were pressured into it.

        Most were pressured. They’d get this dumb medal (sound familiar?) and were stuck with a kid they didn’t want.

      According to German Social Theorist, Theodore Adorno, Fathers abdicating responsibility was a big part of Hitler’s rise to power, and part of why he was called Furher.

      How would that have happened? Nazi Germany only existed for 12 years…

          Their original plan was to have eternal peace after world domination and genociding away all other cultures. Many wars was really never the plan although in reality that would‘ve looked very different of course. You can‘t force a world order under one fascist regime for very long. People would have revolted constantly and the Nazis would‘ve tried to answer in the only way they knew how until the whole thing collapsed. It was doomed to fail but the plan really was long lasting peace after the one war, not endless wars.

          My family was from the North, but my dad was in the Army when I was a kid, and we bounced around to several bases in the South. When I got older, and talked to my parents about the Civil War, they were always adamant that the Southerners they’d known had never really surrendered, and truly believed that “The South Will Rise Again.”

          I thought it was just talk, but apparently not. Southerners were holding onto that dream for better than 150 years.

    The headline implies that the mother would birth the child, then mom and dad would shake hands, while the baby towled off, threw on a diaper and a cap, and marched out of the room.

          I actually did a quick google to see if I could find the style of hat I was imaging. Something between a fedora and cowboy… A Newsies cap I suppose would also work.

    basically the premises of the 2nd SPECIES movie, where the alien infected astronauts just wants to breed(like elon) and just leave them after that.

        But you didn’t. And not only does the first half of your comment contribute nothing to the conversation, but your second half is just outright disrespectful.

        Please refrain from both aspects of such commentary in the future. They’re not conducive to good discussion in this community.
