Works

Darré's works were primarily concerned with ancient and featured Nordic peasantry, and the ideology of Blood and soil. Within this context, he exposed an explicit attack against Christianity. In his two main writings,

Darré accused Christianity, with its "teaching of the equality of men previously God," of having "deprived the Teutonic nobility of its moral foundations", the "innate sense of superiority over the nomadic tribes".
