Early marriage is the solution and birth control should only be practised to sift the At from the unfit and prevent the degradation of the race.
Both man and woman should have to provide a certificate of health, passing them as fit to be the parents of the future German race.
Sensible clothes will be a powerful factor here. The girl should be able to see the strength of her "knight's" body. And the man should be able to appreciate the unadorned grace and loveliness of the maid.
So no more of the seductive fashions of the decadent civilizations. Lipstick, face powder, exotic hair-waving, "smart" styles, high-heeled shoes, are all frowned on in the Nazi Reich; they debase a natural instinct and substitute for it an artificial passion.
Hitler foresees a golden age when the Reich has succeeded in developing a higher breed of man, instead of only thoroughbred horses, dogs The immediate task of the Government, therefore, must be to develop the youth of the nation into strong and enduring instruments for increasing the stock in future. The moderately intelligent but physically perfect man, "self-confident and filled with passionate will power," must precede the highly-educated weakling.
The child is the final object of Hitler's attention. The child is the property of the State—indeed, the highest form of State wealth. It is the duty of the citizens to produce the babies. It is the duty of the State to protect them. Hitler aims to have two hundred and fifty million Germans in his Reich within a century (at present there are ninety millions). Plainly the family spirit will require encouragement.
"There is only one woman mentioned in the whole of the Nazi Bible—Good Queen Bess of England. How did she deserve this honour in Hitler's eyes, and she no mother? She developed that British policy (which he complains about today!) of always preventing the rise of a dominating power on the Continent of Europe which might menace England's security. Hand somely that policy paid England for three centuries! For a moment Hitler almost forgives her for being a virgin.
