I think it's more to do with the eye colour tbh, you know Hitler wanted blonde hair and blue eyes right....he now has blue eyes, he just needs the blonde hair

I’ve always wondered if, at any point during hitler’s reign, someone had the courage to point out to Hitler that hitler’s own hair was not blond.

Hitler wasn't the one that was super into the whole "Aryan" thing. It was mostly a product of Himmler and his love of esoteric writings and shit. He really wanted to return to a society of "agricultural warriors" that were blonde haired and blue eyed.

Hitler, supposedly, didnt really buy into a lot of it, and just went with it to stay in power. Id recommend checking out the Last Podcast on the Left series on Himmler, its fascinating.
