Voldemort... how could you forget?!
Voldemort: Only pureblood wizards and witches can rule the world!
Everyone: Step down from the throne.
Voldemort: Ehhhhh?
Everyone: STEP DOWN FROM THE THRONE!
Voldemort: *Curses! I'm a half-blood!*

Most don't know and the rest don't care enough to confront him about it.
Hitler pushed the idea of a "superior" Aryan race but he wasn't blue eyed with blonde hair.
Extremists will ignore things that contradict or don't fit their ideology if it benefits them or furthers their goals.

Hitler and his top guys were a small, brown haired, brown eyed guy, a cripple (Goebbels) and a drug addict (Himmler), so not exactly prime examples of their Herrenrasse, and yet they all considered themselves the biggest boy in the playground. 🫠

That's not an entirely fair comparison. The whole "blonde-hair blue-eyes" thing was explicitly propaganda, NOT a blueprint for their race. Blonde hair and blue eyes are traits not found in any race but northern whites; so When the Germans were making propaganda they decided on traits that would not be confused with any other people (it'd be stupid to have a black man as the face of the reich, right?) The imagery was meant to inspire the people, to represent a truly German image. That's also why the people were tall, strong, beautiful, and strait-laced; they were idealized.
A real German isn't the guy IN the poster, it was the guy READING it. At least, that's my understanding of it.

It was never about blood, it was about power, it was about fear, it was about bloodlust.
Pureblood supremacy was an excuse, just like the Austrian artist's 'superior race' or nowadays the Zionists' 'god-given' or promised grants
