Every youth and maiden in the NS Germany was so frequently reminded of the the decalogue below that they almost knew it by heart. (I cite from the book "Into the darkness" by L.Stoddard available from www.noontidepress.com and from the www.natvan.com web sites). There is very little to add to the idealistic "Ten Commandments". Compare this with what our children are thought in schools today, and you will immediately be subject to an acute weltschmerz attack. Our ancestors scrutinized, selected and decided for thousands of years. Look yourself at the mirror and thousands of generations are looking back - were they all fools, as MTV would like us to believe? I don't think so.
Ten Commandments for the Choice of a Mate
1.Remember that thou art a German! All that thou art, thou owest, not to thine self, but to thy people. Whether thou willest or no, thou belongest thereto; from thy people hast thou come forth. In all thou doest, bethink thee whether it be to thy people's best advancement. 2.Thou shalt maintain purity of mind and spirit! Cherish and foster thy mental and spiritual capacities. Keep far from thy mind and soul whatsoever is instinctively foreign to them, what is contrary to thy true self, what thine inner conscience rejects. Seeking after money and worldly goods, after quick preferment, after material pleasures, may often lead you to forget higher things. Be true to thine self, and before aught else be worthy of thy future life-mate. 3.Keep the body clean! Maintain the good health received from thy parents, in order to serve thy people. Guard against expending it uselessly and foolishly. A moment's sensual gratification may lastingly wreck thine health and heritable treasure whereon thy children and children's children have a compelling claim. What thou dreamest from thy future life partner, that must thou demand from thyself. Remember that you are destined to be a German Parent. 4. Being of sound stock, thou shall not remain single! All thy qualities of body and spirit perish if you diest without heirs. They are a heritage, a donation from thine ancestors. They exist as a chain of which thou art but a link. Durst thou break that chain, save under stern necessity? Thy life is straitly bound by time; family and folk endure. Thy hereditary estate of body and spirit prospers in thy waxing offspring. 5.Marry only for love! Money is perishable stuff and ensures no lasting happiness. Where the divine spark of love is absent, there can no worthy marriage endure. Wealth of heart and soul is the foundation of a lasting, happy union. 6.As a German, choose a mate only of thine own or kindred blood! Where like meets like, there rules true unison. Where unlike races mix, there is discord. Mixing racial stocks which do not harmonize leads to the degeneracy and downfall of both strains of peoples. The more unlike the mixtures, the faster this takes place. Guard thyself from such ruin! True happiness springs only from harmonious blood. 7.In choosing thy mate, consider the ancestry! Thou weddest not only thy mate but also thy life-partner's forebears. Worthy descendants are to be expected only where worthy ancestors went before. Gifts of mind and spirit are just as much inherited as the color of hair and eyes. Bad traits are bequeathed precisely like lands or goods. Naught in the whole world is so precious as the seeds of a gifted stock; noxious seeds cannot be transformed into good ones. Wherefore, mary not the one worthy member of a bad family. 8.Health is the prerequisite for even outward beauty! Health is the best guarantee for lasting happiness, for it is the basis for both external happiness and inward harmony. Demand of thy mate medical assurance of fitness for marriage, as thou thyself must also do. 9.In marriage seek not a plaything but a helpmeet! Marriage is not a transient game but a lasting union. The supreme aim of marriage is the raising of healthy offspring. Only by union of beings who are like in spirit, body and blood can this goal be attained, to the blessing of themselves and thy people. For each race has its own ethos; so like souls can alone endure together. 10. Thou shalt desire many children! Only by engendering at least four children can the continuance of the people be assured. Only by having an even larger number can the greatest possible proportion of the traits inherited by thine ancestors be surely handed down. No child wholly resembles another. Each child inherits different traits. Many different children greatly enhances the worth of a people and are the surest guarantees for its future. Thou wilt soon pass away; What thou givest to thy descendants endures. Thy people liveth forever!

Very interesting.
I'm the son of Irish parents, and I waited until I met the right girl for me in Ireland.
We produced 6 excellent offspring.

Five of our six here. Kevin couldn't make it, due to work.
The occasion was the wedding of our 18 year old daughter, Megan, to Scott, in Snow Basin Lodge UT.
Present were Eamonn, Patrick, Deirdre, Eileen, and Timothy, and their offspring.

You are a lucky man Ed - congratulations for the beautiful family. We need many, many more people like you!
Regarding the policies in support of the family in the Third Reich, it must be said that the NS government (among numerous other achievements) actually managed to overturn the moribund demographic conditions left by the Weimar repubblic. Before Hitler came to power (ca. 1930) there were around 900 thousand births - far below replacement levels. In a just few short years (ca. 1937) this number rose to almost 1.4 million, well over replacement levels. So, it can be done, it is not a hopeless endeavour!
