In his many speeches, Hitler used several German words to describe, define, and justify his Nazi ideology. In order to ensure that they are referring to these ideas in the context of their Nazi ideology, historians (including the ones that wrote your textbook) continue to use the German version of these words rather than their English translations. With this in mind, it is important that you understand what each of these German words means when it is used.
Match each German term with its correct translation
