Nazi Germany refers to Germany under the fascist dictatorship of the National Socialist German Workers' Party, circa 1933-1945. The Nazi Regime was defeated by the combined efforts of the Allied Nations (most notably the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, The British Empire, and United States of America).
The Nazi military serves as source material for both the Star Trek episode "Patterns of Force".
Beliefs and Ideology
National Socialist ideology (clearly explained in Adolf Hitler's book, Mein Kampf) was highly racist, dividing up the world's population up into a strict hierarchy of races. At the top were the Aryans (Western Europeans), beneath whom were the Slavs, Asians and Blacks, who they believed to be mentally inferior to Aryans and were to be used as slaves. Beneath them were the Jews, whom they believed were a racial group in which every member, from birth to death, acted to control the world and bring misery upon the Aryans and must be destroyed. It was also Social Darwinist, believing that weakness needed to be bred out using Eugenics and Homophobic.
The Nazis believed that they were to push East and carve out an Empire out of Russia to be colonized by Germans. Their move to do so failed.
