| | Vanguard News Network Forum - The Germanization of Christianity |
 | | The early medieval Germanization of Christianity, in most cases, then, was not the result of organized Germanic resistance to Christianity, or of an attempt by the Germanic peoples to transform Christianity into an acceptable form. | | | The sociopsychological response of the Germanic peoples to this inculturated form of Christianity included the acceptance of those traditionally Christian elements which coincided with Germanic religiosity and the resolution of dissonant elements by reinterpreting them in accordance with the Germanic ethos and world-view. | | | Germanic pagan peoples had a clear sense that war was a religious undertaking, in which the gods were interested. |

| | Nazi Germany, whose proponents claimed a racial superiority for the Germanic people, particularly over Semitic and Slavic peoples, plotted an enslavement of the Slavic peoples, and the reduction of their numbers by killing the majority of the population. | | | A recent Stanford study concluded that the peoples of Slavonic tongue are the most closely related populations to the proto-Indo-European stock, the group considered by 20th century race theorists to be the original Aryans. | | | As a result, a large number of people considered by Nazi to have Slavic origins were slain during World War II. |
