With the goal of raising the birth rate of " Aryan" children, Lebensborn (fount of life) was founded in Germany in 1935 as an SS initiated organisation. During the second world war Lebensborn was expanded to countries with German population such as Norway, Poland and Austria. Women who were tested and identified as racially pure (as if it's possible) with blonde hair and blue eyes were chosen to make chileren for Hitler. Once all the medical examinations confirm the girls as racially pure then they were allowed to choose breeding partners from SS officers. The chosen girls lived in a castle in Bavaria near the Tegernsee and all of them lived under assumued names. In the war torn Germany, these girls got all the luxuries possible.

You have seen national flags with various colours, shapes and symbols but never a one with purple colour in it. The reason purple wasn't used in national flags was due to its high cost.
