        There were a couple of black nazi officials but they likely had limited rights to reproduce given the Aryan purity agenda.

            I’ll admit that I can’t find any specific roles for the nazis, publically they banned other races from working in the military and government, but there were many black members of the Wehrmacht’s LFV as well as the Free Arabian Legion, and also stories from some of those captured on the Russian front as well.

            The rest of what I said was on point, they faced sterilization in the heart of Germany.

            If there were some higher ranking, they and their descendants definitely wouldn’t want to share it with the world.

              It could be that the Nazis recruited some black people abroad, like you said in legions, as mercenaries or in colonies to do the dirty work for them, but they never ever would have given them high ranking titles due to their fucked up race ideology.
