The Nazis latched onto Aryans long before we had much information on them, and the more we found, the more wrong they were. Suddenly, Aryan as a concept had to change to just mean 'white guy with blonde hair and blue eyes'; despite the fact that the NSDAP didn't even agree. Because they believed in Aryanism, a complete wakanda-yakub level psuedo-science; they accepted that Aryans were a long dead hyperborean race, and that blond-haired blue-eyed Caucasians were simply the closest decedents to Aryans.
That shit is so retarded that no one takes it seriously anymore, even Neo-Nazis, but they like to still wield parts of the narrative.
In reality, the Aryans are a cool ethnic group, that we know only a little about because they didn't really build any city-states that we can find. It is interesting that the Celts and Aryans went in completely different directions though...
