Are the British Aryans in the Nazi sense?

what would Hitler have done if Churchill had agreed to team up with him?

an odd question seeing as I am from UK myself, but the other thread in this section got me thinking (ie: 'continental ethnicity')

The Nazis had odd ideas about this, but I think they had "degrees of Aryan-ness" which determined a racial hierarchy, with Germans as the most Aryan at the top. I think they considered some Brits to be close to Aryan and others farther based on looks, and thought of the British as a whole to be an inferior class of people but a group who were still better, more Aryan, then most other peoples.

In reality, none of these people were were like Aryans except that they spoke Aryan derived languages. Real Aryans probably looked like Azerbaijani or Iranian people.

if Hitler was so keen on white people, how do you think he would have felt about the white folk from South America (ie: Uruguay, Argentina) or China?

In the ethnic way they defined it, yes. Although the Aryans were a real ethnic group from ancient times whose migration out of the Iranian plateau gave birth to the widespread Indo-European language family to which English belongs, and whose migration also lead to the spread of their religious ideas from India to Ireland.

'Tis true. The Germans were about as Aryan as they were Mongolian.

As the word Aryan is clearly known to have originated in the Iran area why would the White Supremists/skinheads adopt this term to describe themselves?

The word "Aryan" came from all the esoterical mumble-jumbo that Nazis loved so much.
Nazi ideology can be compared with Von Daniken's movies, gibberish.
