Uncommon card · No. 161001

Mischling (German: [ˈmɪʃlɪŋ] ; lit. 'mix-ling'; pl. Mischlinge) 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. In German, the word has the general connotation of “hybrid”, “mongrel”, or “half-breed”. 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.
