| After the defeat of the German empire in 1918, a number of groups, societies, companies and parties connected the false Germanic-Nordic alignment to an aggressive racism. Extensions to the alignment like those added by Ernst Moritz Arndt at the end of the 19th Century, found a rich ideological stamp. These ideas are found in the French writer Arthur Comte de Gobineau (1816-1882), who assumed a special heritage for the German race, and in the English writer Houston Stewart Chamberlain (1855-1927). Based solely on studies on the history of language and the supposed Indogermanic culture, there arose the notion of the Arian, understood in a racial sense. This provided the cornerstone for many abstruse doctrines, at the center of which stood the so-called racially pure Nordic man, the Arian Germani and German who had, in fact, never existed. |
