Americans Study
Hitler Dream
OF Super.Aryans
By ROBERT MUSEI,

HOHEHORST, Germany, June q
(UP)-Fifty-one toeheaded, sturdy
children gamboled on the lawns of
magnificent estate near this pic
turesQue village of North Germany.
They were the product Of a dream
by Adolf Hitler. He dreamed that if
his SIS generals and gauleiters were
to mate with ideal "Aryan" woman
hood, the result would be a race of
born leaders destined to carry the
Reich on to new and greater con-
quests.
Like the rest of Hitler's dreams,
this one, too, lay shattered. But
what to do with the offspring of
Nazism's choicest blood lines re-
manned to nag officials of the Brem-
en- port command.
ON LAVISH SCALE
The Hohehorst setup was a mater
nifty home. 1t was operated on
scale SO lavish and yet so scientific
that American investigators were
deeply impressed.
When the Allies overran this area,
they found 20 nurses and nurses
helpers caring for the children. That
meant at least one expert attend
ant for each two children.
Every development of modern sci
ence that could be used in pediatrics
was found in the huge mansion
which had been converted into
maternity home. There were refrig-
orators for chilling food and special
adjustable warmers for sun ray
rooms.
Each mother had large cross
ventilated room equipped with air
conditioning. The diet was regulat-
ed carefully. But there was evidence
that treatment of the mothers did
not equal the care Of the children,
who in the eyes of the Nazi hier-
archy were the really important in
habitants.
ONLY CHOSEN MATES
One of the q. S. investigators was
Maj. Abraham Gelperin Of Cincin-
natl. AS far as he could make out,
the highest ranking Nazis were per-
mitted to send their mistresses or
deliberately chosen mates to Hohe-
horst to have their children.
1T isn't likely that the SIS gen.
erals or gauleiters who always had
the pick of the liveliest and health
lest girls would waste any time on
what they considered inferior peo-
ple," Gelperin said
II think it is safe to say that
these upper crust Nazis sent to
Hohehorst only their best mates.
They could have had servant wench-
es or night club chorines, too,
though they would never get into
this exclusive establishment"
So sacrosanct was Hohehorst that
admittance was by special pass only.
And the passes were issued only by
Nazi offices in Munich. They were
hard to get.
American officials have records
showing the mothers names. But
in place of the fathers names are
code letters, the key to which must
be somewhere in the Nazi secret
files.
The children now here range be-
tween two and five years. Earlier
graduates" of Hohehorst, which
probably has been operating seven
or eight years, are scattered through
out the Reich.
Gelperin said it was strictly bus
mess here. The father was advised
of the child's birth, but not en-
couraged to display any paternal
feelings. Once the child was weaned,
the mothers part in the deal was
done, and she might never see the
child again.
Reluctantly Gelperin admitted
that these 81 children are well above
average physically.
Emphasize that physically" he
said. God knows what may lie in
their little brains. But it really isn't
surprising that they are in fine con-
dition. Don't forget they had the
finest care German ingenuity could
devise"
