LEADING ARTICLE OF SPECIAL ISSUE NO. 8 OF "DER STUERMER", January 1938, Page 13
The supreme aim and highest task of the state is therefore to conserve people, blood, and race. But if this is the supreme task, any crime against this law must be punished with the supreme penalty. The Stuermer takes therefore the view that there are only two punishments for the crime of polluting the race:
1. Penal servitude for life for attempted race pollution.
2. Death for committing race pollution.
Extract from an editorial in Der Stuermer, calling for the death penalty for race pollution
