When Nazi leaders talked about Aryan race they normally didn't actually mean any kind of race in a genetic or phenotypic way. In those people mind was little bit different kind of human than we normally think. The "Aryan" in Nazi philosophy was soldier type who just follows orders wat are given to them without saying nothing against their leaders. That philosophy was made for totalitarian thinkers and people who wanted to be great leaders to their homelands. It means that those "Aryan" soldiers are trained from childhood to take orders and follow their leaders, and that methodology of growing children basis from ancient Greece and city-state named as Sparta.
That city was known about tough soldiers who never surrender. And methodology what was used to those people growing was very straight. They were taken to the state just after their birth, and after that, all Spartans were members of a great clan known as a phalanx. Those soldiers were absolutely loyal to their leaders, and their way of life was legendary. This methodology supported by a philosopher whose name was Plato. Plato's idea of the state was so nice for totalitarian leaders because in Plato's ideal state nobody could ever rise on stairs of the nation.
That was not the only reason why Plato was so popular in a dictatorship. His idea of mankind was nobody ever have right to think against great philosophers and warriors who were above helots, slave workers who made every job in that ideal state. Plato's pyramidic shape society was also a Spartan way to train a soldier. Everybody stated that job as an helote, and when they got enough muscle could some of those soldier rise as commander of the phalanx of Sparta or even philosopher.
Plato's ideal state and other writings are the base of new kind of philosophy. The culmination of that kind of thinking was Nietzsche's theory of over human leadership. In that theory persons who are more intelligent, have more power and have higher ethical standards can rise to lead regular people. Many people think that Nietzsche was the inventor of Nazism. But truth is that this ideology basis from Plato's ideas.
None of the dictators can say no to loyal soldiers who do exactly what he wants. That's why the Spartan method of growing children is so interesting. And of course, Sparta is one of the most analyzed things in history. Modern leaders want also very loyal and tough militaristic organization around them. One man named Hassan ibn al-Sabbah was created the same kind of system around him. That might be impressed even toughest Nazi-leaders when they read the text where Al-Sabbah ordered his followers to kill themselves after they attacked to some crusaders home during crusades.
And of course, that same idea was taken in Samurai training in Japan. If those legendary warriors fail, they killed themselves. They also made suicide when their leaders say that they must do that. How Hitler wanted to rule was very straight. He didn't want laws to control his power. And the idea of Nazi government was that children will take to custody and will be trained as "werewolves".
Those children were grown for nazi-ideology, and in those men mind was new kind of soldier. Killing machine who was absolutely loyal to them, and who had only one the moralistic- ethical way of thinking, and that was what this soldier's superiorities wanted that this person had. That new type of soldier "Aryan" was humanoid for other people. He followed orders precisely, and that made him a weapon in hands of government.
