Rhineland bastard (German: Rheinlandbastard) was a derogatory term used in Nazi Germany to describe Afro-Germans, born of mixed-race relationships between German women and Black African men of the French Army who were stationed in the Rhineland during its occupation by France after World War I.
After 1933, under Nazi racial theories, Afro-Germans deemed to be Rheinlandbastarde were persecuted. They were rounded up in a campaign of compulsory sterilization.[1]
