During the early 20th century, the concept of the Volk emerged in Germany. The Volk represented the idealized German people as a specific and separate biological entity that needed protection and nurturing to survive.
The individual rights of citizens were considered secondary to the needs and importance of the Volk. This ideology was shaped by contemporary beliefs about heredity. The Germans were not the first to implement government-sanctioned forced sterilization. The United States had already enacted sterilization laws in several states by the 1920s.
These U.S. laws included forced sterilization of immigrants, Black and Indigenous people, the poor, Puerto Rican individuals, those with disabilities, and more. California eugenicists even sent literature promoting eugenics and sterilization to German scientists and medical professionals.
In 1933, just six months after Hitler became Chancellor, the Sterilization Law (Gesetz zur Verhütung erbkranken Nachwuchses) was enacted. This law allowed forced sterilization for individuals suffering from various conditions:
Genetic blindness and deafness
Manic depression
Schizophrenia
Epilepsy
Congenital feeble-mindedness
Huntington's chorea (a brain disorder)
Alcoholism

March, 1960, Bryansk
Valentina Schmid arrives with her armed escort at the slave labor camp. In the early morning light, the cold wind whipped through the air, sending chills down her spine, despite the thick down jacket and hat. In the distance, a convoy of trucks waited patiently for her inspection, their engines humming, sending tendrils of exhaust smoke into the air.
A strange and awkward atmosphere pervaded the barracks. "It's only been built for half a month and it still smells like paint." Dr. Kruger walked into the barracks. There were hundreds of people in the barracks, men and women of all ages. Most of the prisoners were starving. Many were coughing and sniffling. There were children among them, all under the age of 14.
In one corner of the barracks, a young boy of about three was sleeping with his mother, his head nestled in his mother's lap, oblivious to the misery around him. A woman in her forties, her body ravaged by the harsh winter, sat next to his mother.
"Execute them again?" Valentina, in her nurse's uniform, stared numbly at the delirious Doctor.
Dr. Kruger replied coldly, without looking up from his notes. "Valentina Schmid, What do you think medicine is?"
Valentina felt her chest tighten. Her eyes filled with tears. "I can't do this word."
Dr. Kruger sneered, "Valentina Schmid, Do you think the purpose of this is to let you know what's right and wrong? I joined NSDAP when you weren't even born, but I never believed in National Socialism."
"The Great Führer and the Germans were the ones who saved us from the clutches of the Jewish Bolsheviks." Valentina Schmid tried to act calm, which could have been the old Doctor's test. "...The NKVD killed them with the same guns."
"Valentina Schmid," Dr. Kruger snorted. "Help translate my words into Russian and get these children to the medical room for examination."
"What about their mothers?"
"We have no to save these mothers. They were the families of Soviet partisan members; the children could be adopted, but not the mothers." Dr. Kruger seemed to add another sentence to assuage her concerns. "We are in charge of making racial identification this time, so that the children responsible for the criteria are taken by German families."
"So this time is a rescue." Valentina Schmid stood to the side, interpreting Doctor Kruger's instructions in Russian. "Дети до 14 лет ждут снаружи медицинского пункта." (Children under 14 wait outside the hospital.)
As they walked to the examination room, Dr. Kruger asked, "Valentina Schmid, What were you planning to do? The Virgin and the whore are both Mary."
Valentina Schmid was speechless. She hadn't been in this job for long. "...I am just doing my duty, doctor. It's my honor to do something for our homeland."
"But you're in Bryansk, part of the Russian oblast of Ulfkland. Did you say Hail Kaminsky? " Dr. Kruger glanced sideways at Valentina Schmid.
Valentina Schmid's face changed color. She bit her lip. "The Germans are the saviors of our motherland."
Dr. Kruger satirize smirked, "Good, now say that to yourself three hundred times every morning."
Valentina Schmid was silent for a long time, then finally opened her mouth to ask the Doctor, "Doctor Kruger, what about their families?"
"Speaking of the old days, when I was young, it was 1931, and I never cared for politics with my medical school classmates," Kruger recalled, Dodged Valentina's question. "We attended one of Hitler's speeches, and we weren't interested in the insanity and anti-Semitism of his show. But I joined NSDAP with my classmates."
"Doctor Kruger," Valentina Schmid hesitated, and finally asked in a low voice, "Is it really right?"
Doctor Kruger looked back, looking at her pale, youthful face, her eyes red. "Sure! You people don't realize one thing, you think National Socialist Germany was built by a bunch of Junker nobles trying to shirk their responsibilities with a few dozen lunatics fomenting anti-Semitism?"
The two fell silent again, and only the sound of footsteps could be heard in the vast snowfield. Valentina and Dr. Kruger entered the medical room to receive the children.
Dr. Kruger puts on white gloves and takes a book out of the cabinet and puts it on the table. "This book is called 'Topographische Anatomie DES Menschen' and is now the most finely and scientifically illustrated book on anatomy depicting the structure of the human body in all European hospitals."
He took a deep breath and said to the young woman next to him, "Now you're going to help me look for racial criteria and note them down.
Valentina Schmid did not speak again, she nodded, and then carefully asked in German, "...How is the book drawn?"
"The book has helped many surgeons with its delicacy, and it is so delicate that half of the anatomical drawings are derived from the pair of executed German political prisoners, in addition to homosexuals, gypsies & Jews."
"...Doctor Kruger."
"What's wrong?" Dr. Kruger frowned, he said with some annoyance. "These sacrifices are for the benefit of more human beings in the future."
"What if there's a mistake?"
"That's impossible," Dr. Kruger snorted coldly. "As long as we strictly follow the guidelines, this is the correct approach."
Valentina Schmid had no more questions for him, Dr. Kruger closed the book with the atlas of human anatomy, rummaged around for a moment pulling out another black book for racial identification and another stack of form white paper.
"Now, you go follow this book to fill in the names & identify the races of the children, filling them all in as Germanic if you wish. I really don't want to see this nonsense trash!"
"...Is this a sin?"
Doctor Kruger did not respond, he began to inspect the children one by one. Valentina Schmid took a deep breath and turned over to the first page of the identification manual to identify the races.
——
After a series of questioning and measuring faces and filling out forms, Valentina moved her tingling right hand, took off the pen and looked down at the paper. "Feeling tired? This phase of the work is pointless anyway, you can write it all off as the Teutons coming to their rescue." The old doctor was sarcastic as he measured the width of the last child's skull with a tool.
"Doctor, it's just the end of March, how did they bring in children with the winter? They've all lost a lot of weight, some can't even talk." Valentina Schmid put her hand on her forehead.
"Ask your East Slavic Volksgenosse about this; that gang of RONA under Kaminski was as brutal as the SS."
Valentina Schmid's head hurt from the information and fatigue. "After racial information?"
"Intelligence tests are conducted, non-Germanic people don't take part in them."
Valentina Schmid froze for a moment, she understood the implication behind these words. She asked, "Why do they do this? To the children, why?"
"Have you studied biology? Ah, I mean the consciousness of life is the mixed electrical and chemical signals received by the brain inside the skull." Doctor Kruger stood up with a huff, then slowly moved towards the examination table. He looked down at the boy with dark circles under his eyes, and said slowly, "Consciousness is like a tape recorder with only one tape. It's an illusion. But genes and intelligence and memory are not."
Valentina Schmid suddenly felt chilled by his tone of voice. She instinctively backed away from him and backed up a few steps, bumping into a bed and sitting down on it, trembling all over, her mind going blank.
"Have you ever heard of Nietzsche's concept of 'Superman'? Ah, I forgot that East Slavs can only finish elementary school. Simply put, IntelligenzQuotient, which is also a German word," Doctor Kruger pulled a small table closer and turned to rummage through the questionnaires used for intelligence and memory tests. "We have sampled in Germany itself and in the Eastern colonies, and there is not much difference between the races, with about 70% of humans having an IQ between 85-115, about 95% between 70-130, and 99.6% between 55-145."
"But... But this is absurd," Valentina Schmid cried. "They are all human children. You can't just kill them!"
"Oh, what nonsense you said again." Doctor Kruger turned his head back and said indifferently, "We only have sterilization and euthanasia for humans with intelligence below 70."
"It's inhumane! You're just making excuses."
"But the same applies to all races, it's just the order of execution. East Slavic people like you just hate Jewish people too much. You don't understand what we're doing when you consider that while we're registering this time, the entire land under the New European Order is testing the intelligence of children all the time, and all the children among them who have an IQ above 145, together with their parents, will go to live in the special administrative districts of the SS."
"Isn't that a good thing?" Valentina Schmid was dumbfounded.
"Ha ha," Doctor Kruger sneered coldly. "Of course, They will all be supported exclusively by the national treasury, their children will receive a comprehensive education with high benefits and intensity, and they, together with the families of the nuclear experts, will never be able to leave the Special Administrative Regions, nor will there be any Special Administrative Regions on any map."
"This... what is this..." Valentina Schmid was puzzled by this information, which did not match with what she had learned before, so she had a question in her mind. "Is this some sort of plan to find the most brilliant people and isolate them? What's the purpose? Is there any other reason besides making them feel more comfortable?"
"Oh, for the sake of a new order in Europe and a better future for all mankind, think about it, if we let these highly intelligent children be educated from the age of six to the age of sixteen when they get married, and after that their lives are invested in scientific research and marriage, and the party lets them live in utopia, and then they'll have anywhere from three to six children, or more, or fewer."
Dr. Kruger turned and put the intelligence test on the small table in front of the examination bed and took out the medical kit from the cupboard next to him. "Then their children would also be tested for intelligence, killing the low IQs, leaving the normal offspring to live in the SARs, and allowing the second generation of high IQ children to continue to live in the SARs and marry other high IQ children. The third, fourth, and fifth generations..."
"Then all humans in the world would be high-level IQs." Valentina Schmid was stunned to discover what they were doing.
"Valentina, we Germans will give you East Slavic Volksgenosse something more worthy than food and bread!" The old doctor nodded in satisfaction. "You will witness the birth of Superman or the New Man, a program named Prometheus, developed from the Lebensborn program. Once successful, Germany will have a group of supermen who will always be able to produce 145 IQ children."
"We don't need Superman."
"This is just the beginning." Dr. Kruger opened the medicine cabinet with a cold expression, "The purpose of all this is not only to create the New Man, but to achieve the complete elimination of inferior humans and genetic mutations. You simply don't understand how intelligent people have high IQs. People with IQs over 200, who our studies have shown can memorize everything and learn a foreign language just by watching foreign language movies, for these people we are mildly retarded."
"The Nazis were a bunch of insane madmen! It was just a bunch of old fools with a hard-on for a new world order." Valentina Schmid suddenly became hysterical and she wanted to rush over and kill the old German in front of her.
"That's what will save humanity, all humans will die, but it's these 0.4% that will lead 120 million Germans & all of humanity to a Technological Explosion!" Doctor Kruger slammed the cupboard door and pulled out the pistol and turned to aim it at Valentina Schmid, who had been caught by him long ago. "This is what the Great Führer & all of National Socialism is aiming for."
"You're going to hell for what you've done, for what you've been planning to do."
"If there is an afterlife, let them judge. We are just preparing the stage for the great experiment in this life," Doctor Kruger turned his head. "You simply don't understand that all of us with the NSDAP and Germany are immensely short-lived from the point of view of biology and physics. But even if Germany loses, our knowledge and information will not be lost! They will benefit countless human beings in the future! Even our science will be discovered by these highly intelligent humans for Gene Editing and Immortality!"
