Hell yeah! Stuff like that is crazy. You could even include some crazy vampirian cult from Romenia who have settled in German "high society".

Exactement! While we want to stay away from"generic" vampires I can see some crazy aristocrats who wanted to live longed so had a doctor rip out teeth and insert steel fangs which they can suck with!

For example, they would pull the "Keith Richards" trick which is having their own blood replaced by new fresh blood. This would be mixed with all sorts of ceremonies and whatever else. Take a look at the history of the Flesh Eater Space Marines for 40k, perhaps that could function as some inspiration for more ideas on that. Add a bit of Floria Sigismondi to it all and you will get something very twisted!

Yeah, frequent blood replacement (that would make a great piece of art!) would be very cool. Perhaps such things for the dedicated Aryans, they sanitise their blood to have only the truest Aryan blood in their veins...

Oh that might be very interesting. Remember Darkson mention the various German factions and now they deal with purity and "ubermensch" and all that? Perhaps this could also be included into the mix.

Exactly, we should push this purity thing to extreme lengths. Perhaps people whos blood isnt pure enough arent allowed before the Fuhreur? I can see a character, one of these who to survive after being wounded had to use Soviet blood and so is now reviled by his comrades, they wont let him replace his blood (as that would impurify their equipment) and shun him but he is very powerful.

I agree!
I dont agree on that! The different German factions would have different interpretation on how to be "pure", some have genetic/chemical alterations while others use blood and yet others believe they are already pure.
Personally I think a "blood cult" follower would rather die than have impure blood in his system, perhaps the Russians captured him and as a way of torture gave him that other blood and let him loose...no real meaning, just a great way of psychological warfare since this guy is an outcast of German society. Perhaps impure blood could be a punishment for those who failed or something?

hmm..your right, he probably would want to die. Perhaps the attack he was wounded in was so brave the Hitler rewarded hima nd made him a personal agent. He cant kill himself as that would be contrary to what Hitler wants but cant live with himself, he's always mutilating himself and trying to get the blood out. That would be great psycological warfare on the part of the Soviets but I think it would mak ehte purebloods angry rather than scared. OK, the Hitler idea is scrapped, but it definately works for the leader of the blood cultfaction.

Hmm...I still prefere this to stick more like a Romenian thing while it might have a small German following its not a major thing, so dont imagine a whole part of the German army changing their blood after every battle. Its really a few Romenian aristocrats and some high placed German figures...it just makes them live longer and more "healthy", you dont become a supertrooper by getting new blood.

Sure but I feel the pureblood/ultra Aryans (or perhaps one faction if these Aryans, wheels within wheels..) do. So it might be an upgrade for some of their soldiers. Doesnt make you a supertrooper (unless they mix the "pure" blood with chemicals) but improves morale.

Keep it for officers then to show that its quite rare an more of an elite thing than a common grunt thing.

Well they might have elite agents/units (as in they would only be served by "pure" blood retainers. So just a single unit.

Nah...keep it an officer/hero thing, stay to the aristocratic feel of it, so you would have commanders who change their blood and stuff. The German units would mostly have the chemical upgrades or are upgraded because of some ancient breeding program. Imagine those guys from Dark Angel but with an added German ancientness to it.
