Abstract
This article analyses race theory in the Independent State of Croatia in regard to the question of the ethnolinguistic-racial origin of the early medieval Croats. While there was debate in the NDH on whether the proto-Croats were specifically Slavs, Iranians or Goths in an ethnolinguistic sense, there was a general academic and ideological consensus that, in a racial sense, they were a ruling class of Nordic-Aryan origin. This topic is analysed within a broader European historical and ideological context, including the question of the position of National Socialist race theory toward Croats and other Slavic peoples.
