The Aryan Master Race conceived by the Nazis graded humans on a scale of pure Aryan to non-Aryan (who were viewed as subhumans).[6] At the top of the scale of pure Aryans included Germans and other Germanic peoples including the Dutch, Scandinavians, the French and the English [6] because they carried a suitable composition of Germanic blood.[7] The Nazis considered Slavs to be a severely contaminated race, including: Bosniaks, Croats, Czechs, Poles, and Russians, Serbs, Ukrainians who were classified as "subhumans".[8] At the bottom of the racial scale of non-Aryans were Jews, Romani, and blacks.[9]
