[borreby]

I suppose the answer is obvious, alpine and borreby examples or a combination of both were accepted in the totenkopf das reich division?

World war 2

According to the view of races with the few funds you had available?

[Satem]

Yes, it is

What is your conclusion then?


Edit: Ostsvensk has explained it well, I was wrong

[Östsvensk]

You were not allowed to join the SS if you were predominantly Alpine or East Baltic. This was in the early years of the war. It might have been relaxed later as they needed more cannon fodder.

- "pure Nordic,"
- "predominantly Nordic or Falic" [Falic = Brunn],
- "harmonious bastard [cross-breed] with slight Alpine, Dinaric or Mediterranean characteristics,"
- "bastards of predominantly East Baltic or Alpine origin," and
- "bastards of extra-European origin".

Only those in the first three categories were eligible to join the ϟϟ. Schultz also composed a list of nine categories of physical proportion as a guide for the physical examination of ϟϟ candidates (Hoehne 1971: 166). Candidates achieving ratings of 6-9 were passed; categories 4 and 5 were only passed after proving "Nordic qualities" in their behavior; while ratings 1-3 were failed (Knoebel 1965: 26). Himmler was adamant that his men be "of well-proportioned build; for instance there must be no disproportion between the lower leg and the thigh or between the legs and the body; otherwise an exceptional bodily effort is required to carry out long marches" (Hoehne 1971: 166-167). As to "Nordic bearing", Himmler put it this way: "The point is that in his attitude to discipline the man should not behave like an underling, that his gait, his hands, everything, should correspond to the ideal which we set ourselves". (Hoehne 1971: 167)

Borreby was not a term used by the Germans, who would have followed Hans F.K. Günther terminology, but would probably be something like category III. Felix Steiner looked pretty standard Baltid (not a term used either):
