Legal policy of the third reich

Abstract

In the present study, an attempt was made to analyze the activities of "Lebensborn" (source of life), established under the auspices of SS reichsfuhrer G. Himmler, whose task was to fundamentally improve the racial characteristics of the German nation. The ultimate goal of this policy was the development of a flawless racial superman who was considered one of the most important factors in securing Nazi Germany's world domination. The Lebensborn phenomenon is considered in a broad cognitive context in the cognitive understanding of the mechanism for legitimizing Nazi legal policy, considering the characteristics of the legal and political culture of the Third Reich ideology. Using a wide range of archival documents, including the Lebensborn Charter, as well as research publications, the authors identified and analyzed the organization's main orientations and results. The special focus is on the creation in the third Reich of Lebensborn specialized parent houses, in addition, the second is considered in the context of the legitimacy of racial legal policies.
