Mischling

Mischling (German: [ˈmɪʃlɪŋ]; lit. "mix-ling"; plural: Mischlinge^[1]) was a pejorative legal term which was used in Nazi Germany to denote persons of mixed "Aryan" and non-Aryan, such as Jewish, ancestry as they were classified by the Nuremberg racial laws of 1935.^[2] In German, the word has the general denotation of hybrid, mongrel, or half-breed.^[a] Outside its use in official Nazi terminology, the term Mischlingskinder ("mixed children") was later used to refer to war babies born to non-white soldiers and German mothers in the aftermath of World War II.^[3][b]
