What is the lebensborn programme and what did this programme involve?

The Lebensborn program was an initiative established by Nazi Germany in the 1930s aimed at increasing the Aryan population through selective breeding. It involved creating homes for unmarried mothers who were deemed racially pure, where they could give birth to children fathered by SS members. The program also included the adoption of these children by SS families to promote the Nazi ideal of a superior Aryan race. Ultimately, it reflected the regime's broader goals of racial purity and expansion.
