How did the Nazis thought about the Sami people?

by alexroiland86

Before answering this and wondering what is a Sami, let me give a quick info. The Sami is a Finno-Ugric tribe that lives fringes of Finland, Sweden and Norway. Despite being consider to be close related to the Finnish and Estonians, their cultural distinction and sometime even their physical appearance remains somewhat foreign unlike their Finnic-speaking cousins in Scandinavia who were already been Westernised throughout the centuries.

​

Now for this question, during WWII when Scandinavia was under occupations by the Germans, what did the Nazis, you know, the same people under Hitler who viewed Jews, Gypsies, and Slavs as "inferior vermins" and must be exterminated viewed the Sami?

He didn't like them since they were slav's according to his agenda. But the interesting thing about Hitler was that he didn't mind his allies not fitting in to the "perfect race" as the Japanese were of course Asian and the Italians weren't Nordic they were Italic. He also supported Franco in Spain and the Spanish were not part of the "master race" either, since the Sami peoples were kind of small and resembled the people in the areas for the most part, Hitler didn't have a problem with them (looking at the previous i concluded this)
