SS training material for aptitude tests on the National Socialist worldview gives us a clear light of the natural aims of the Nordic man:

"The life of the Nordic man is a life of struggle, of wrestling, and finds its fulfillment in devotion to the community. For him, life means fighting, fighting on the front lines, fighting even when destruction is certain. This spirit resonates in the verses of the Edda: Possessions die, clans die, you yourself die like them. One thing I know that lives eternally: the dead man's deeds. It is the spirit that filled the Germanic peoples when they set out to perform bold deeds, to found new kingdoms. It is the spirit that led the Vikings on their longship from the north, across Iceland and Greenland to America, across England and France to the shores of the Mediterranean, into Russia, and into the Black Sea. It is the spirit that filled the merchants of the Hanseatic League and the German knights and peasants who ventured eastward in the Middle Ages. But he is also a fighter as a farmer and sailor, as a sportsman and engineer, as a scholar, as an economic leader and statesman. This Nordic man cannot see his life on earth merely as preparation for eternal life in a heaven beyond. He cannot acknowledge that he is only an earthworm, unworthily raised from his lowliness by the grace of redemption. To his inquiring mind, the laws of Nature revealed themselves, and in faith he sees in them the workings of a destiny to which he, too, must acknowledge."
