on 14 July 1933, the Nazis enacted their "Sterilisation Law" which forcibly sterilised disabled people or any who fell under the judgement of a "Genetic Health Court" even if the condition wasn't genetic. around 400,000 people were sterilised by 1939, at which point the Nazis started Aktion-T4

from wikipedia:

The basic provisions of the 1933 law stated that:

(1) Any person suffering from a hereditary disease may be rendered incapable of procreation by means of a surgical operation (sterilization), if the experience of medical science shows that it is highly probable that his descendants would suffer from some serious physical or mental hereditary defect.

(2) For the purposes of this law, any person will be considered as hereditarily diseased who is suffering from any one of the following diseases:–

(1) Congenital Mental Deficiency,
(2) Schizophrenia,
(3) Manic-Depressive Insanity,
(4) Hereditary Epilepsy,
(5) Hereditary Chorea (Huntington's),
(6) Hereditary Blindness,
(7) Hereditary Deafness,
(8) Any severe hereditary deformity.

(3) Any person suffering from severe alcoholism may be also rendered incapable of procreation.[2]

i reread lord of the rings for the first time since i was a child and watched the extended editions of the films for the first time. i had a dreadful time. there's a lot of race science in those books and the films stumble into new uncomfortable territory. no wonder right wing billionaires love it
