                                1. Hitler and the Nazis had firm views on race, they believed that the Germans were Aryans and therefore the "Master Race". most of the other races were categorized as slave races, but some groups were labeled 'Untermensch' or sub-human. the Slavs of Eastern Europe, gypsies s(such as Sinti or Roma and Jews were regarded as such.
