Blood and Soil

"Blood and Soil" is a nationalist slogan originating from Nazi Germany, emphasizing a deep connection between a people (blood) and their homeland (soil). It promotes the idea that a nation’s identity and strength are rooted in the racial purity of its inhabitants and their natural land. The phrase was used to justify racist policies and territorial expansion, asserting that purity of heritage and land ownership were essential for national vitality. Today, it is associated with extremist ideologies and is widely condemned for its association with xenophobia and ethnocentric nationalism.
