It was to help "racially and genetically biologically valuable" mothers and children, including unmarried mothers who had children with German soldiers , primarily members of the Schutzstaffel (SS) who had already approved a family background.The Lebensborn project was created by SS leader Heinrich Himmler in 1935 and was organized within RuSHA ("Central Office for Race and Settlement"). From 1941, the organization established a maternity home in Norway , where about 8,000 children were born, of which about 250 were sent to foster families in Germany. The idea behind Lebensborn was based on Völkisch thinking and Pan -German notions of securing the development of the "Nordic", " Aryan " or " Germanic race ". The organization's maternity home was to contribute to a safe upbringing for Aryan children, so that the Aryan race appeared as complete and clean as possible. Lebensborn was also to ensure that the "raging" children from extramarital affairs were adopted by German families where the adults were loyal party members . The organization also forcibly adopted some young children who were orphans.
