Abstract

The ultimate goal of this policy was to develop a racially impeccable superman, considered one of the most important factors in guaranteeing world domination of Nazi Germany. The phenomenon of "Lebensborn" is considered in a broad cognitive context of understanding the mechanism of legitimization of Nazi legal policy, taking into account the characteristics of legal and political culture, the ideology of the Third Reich. The authors, using the "Lebensborn" Charter, identified and analyzed the main directions and results of this organization. Special attention is given to the creation in the Third Reich of specialized maternal homes of "Lebensborn"; In addition, the latter is considered in the context of the legitimation of racial legal policy.
