The propaganda icon who was legally half-Jewish
Explore the contradictions of Nazi racial ideology through the life of Werner Goldberg. This video examines how a soldier once celebrated as the 'Ideal German Soldier' was actually classified as Mischlinge under the regime's twisted racial laws.
The video investigates the complex lives of Mischlinge—soldiers who served in the Wehrmacht despite being legally classified as having Jewish ancestry. It focuses on the remarkable case of Werner Goldberg, a blue-eyed soldier who was used by Nazi propaganda as the archetype of the 'perfect Aryan.' By examining Goldberg's story, the film reveals the internal inconsistencies and the distorted logic used by the Nazi regime to define racial identity during the war.
