Alexander the Great as viewed by the Nazi regime

During the interwar period, Nazi ideologues developed divergent interpretations of Alexander the Great. The historian Helmut Berve described him in 1926 as an Aryan hero unifying Indo-European peoples, while others judged him responsible for a bastardization through the mixing of blood. Alfred Rosenberg for his part reproached the conqueror for the lack of durability of his alliance between Greek and Persian elites.
