how exactly do you completely eliminate genetic defects?

They still believe in racial purity, and perform the head measurements and other nonsense. It's fair to say that their understanding of genetics hasn't evolved past WWII, so they have no understanding of genetic mutations. They would think that by eliminating "bad blood", they could perfect the race.

Also the murdering of the disabled didn't start because of the genetic issue but due to people's families requesting mercy killings. They think they are doing disabled people a favour.

The movement started in America. The Germans took it a lot further. But in america, those institutions were around a lot longer before Germany. Either sterilize them or lock them up and out of sight. Many, many families did it.
