Basic Ideas of Nationalist Socialist Cultural Policy is translated from the Third Reich original Grundgedanken nationalsozialistischer Kulturpolitik by Munich university professor Wolfgang Schulz, which was published by the central publishing house of the NSDAP (Franz Eher Verlag) in 1939 after the authors death. The objective of this policy was to promote a culture that remained true to folk and race and hence promoted the spiritual, biological health, and integrity of both. The original translation has been reviewed, corrected, and altered for better clarity and readability for the 21st century reader.
