Rhineland bastard
Rhineland bastard (German: Rheinlandbastard) was a derogatory term used in the Weimar Republic to describe children 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, this offspring was not specifically persecuted as a group, since there were too few of them and no specific law applied. == History == The term "Rhineland bastard" can be traced to 1919, just after World War I, when Entente troops, most of them French, occupied the Rhineland.
