Best Answer

Part of Nazi and facism ideology and a piece of society common in Europe during the time was the cult of the body, the idea that having a healthy body made a person an asset to the nation by contributing "healthy" genes and healthy citizens. Those who were disabled had, according to this idea, shown themselves unable to maintain a healthy body and thus were a threat to the nation by contributing "unhealthy" genes, and were also a drag on the greater development of the nation. This is related to the idea of Social Darwinism, that society ought to promote the survival of the fittest in humanity.
