I don't recall any mention of studies about the racial attitudes of peasants and small farmers. Tooze, as a political economist, focuses on they're being at the bottom of the economic barrel as the German economy began its slow climb out of the multiple shocks of the '20s-'30s. What does seem to be a rhyme is that they were a substantial minority of the population whose ability to profit off their absolutely necessary support for the industrial drive was strictly curtailed by the government's need to keep food prices low for the urban workers. What the farmers got was lavished propaganda attention, featuring them nationally as the heart of the heartland. All of the pervasive racial suprematist slogans and images prominently featured the hardworking bauer, and bounties were given to the bauerin who produced large numbers of children.
Were there any comparisons regarding those peasants and let's say, white supremacists or POC?

Hmmm...that sounds familiar.
