On the cover appears the figure of a German girl with an “Aryan” appearance, as part of the journal’s attempt to present the beauty and health of the German race in contrast to other races considered “inferior.” Throughout, the journal presents articles on genetics, physical anthropology, and guidelines for the “improvement” of the race, all under the ideological framework of the Nazi Party. At the opening of the issue appears the figure of an elderly German man alongside the caption: “These features reflect the essence of the Nordic-Dinaric people: restrained spirit, restlessness, and dynamism.” The issue opens with a lengthy article on the importance of establishing the Nazi educational system on a racial basis: “In contrast to the beginnings of the First Reich, biology, and not theology, was the dominant force at the dawn of the Third Reich... Therefore, it is imperative and our special task to complete, even for the schools, the path upon which the German state embarked after a thousand-year struggle over its inner essence, and to bring to a successful conclusion the development toward unity founded upon the laws of life, to which our blood heritage has driven us...”.

He presents a table examining the athletic achievements of German youth in which the percentage of Jewish “failures” is the highest. He concludes that this stems from racial inferiority. Another article warns against Jews who changed their family names and “hide” behind German names: “One must not think that these name changes are an entirely insignificant and superficial matter that may ultimately be of no concern to us; the very fact that the Jews attach such great importance to this exchange of names proves that it is by no means insignificant!...”.
