Blood and soil was an SS doctrine. Darre was Himmler’s mentor in the early 20’s as they were both involved in a green German youth movement that its roots in the pantheistic ecology of Ernst Haeckel called Monism (which today is known as Social Darwinism). Later, Himmler became Darre’s senior in the SS. Himmler himself came out of the backwoods countryside of Bavaria. Hitler was not a blood and soil ideolgue like Himmler and Darre, but he did talk about it and use it on occasion. Goebbels, however, apparently hated the doctrine, though he was still a vegetarian.

German blood and soil was an eugenic environmentalism (Social Darwinian ecology) that stood in stark contrast to ancient Israel who were of the blood of Abraham dwelling in the promised land. As such, some Germans tried to herald Germany as a modern promised land for greens where racism and environmentalism would help cleanse the landscape of its corrupt internationalism propagated largely by the Judeo-Christian worldview.
