	After [[World War II]], Günther was placed in [[internment camps]] for three years. The University of Freiburg supported his release. In 1951 he published the book "Husband's Choice" in which he listed good biological qualities to look for in marriage partners. He continued to argue that sterilization should remain a legal option, and played down the mandatory sterilization used in National Socialist Germany. Another eugenics book was published in 1959 in which he argued that unintelligent people reproduce too numerously in Europe, and the only solution was state-sponsored family planning.

	Günther's racial scheme was very influential in academic understanding of human racial anthropology in the 20th century, especially in the German-speaking world. He divided the European population into six races, the [[Nordic race\|Nordic]], Phalian (Faelid), Eastern ([[Alpine race\|Alpine]]), Western ([[Mediterranean race\|Mediterranean]]), [[Dinaric race\|Dinaric]] and [[East Baltic race\|East Baltic]]. The "Phalian" race was sometimes subsumed in his writings into the Nordic grouping, approximating the modern concept of (Central)-[[Nordish]].

	Of these races, the Nordic was seen to be the most valuable, the "noblest", and the great creative force in history. Günther published evidence that Nordics were the founders of influential cultures across the world. Opposed to the Nordics were the ~~Jews~~, who were "a thing of ferment and disturbance, a wedge driven by Asia into the European structure." Günther argued that the Nordic peoples should unite to secure their dominance.		Of these races, the Nordic was seen to be the most valuable, the "noblest", and the great creative force in history.

	Among his disciples was [[Bruno Beger]] who, after an expedition to [[Tibet]], concluded that the Tibetan peoples had characteristics that placed them between the Nordic and Mongol races, and were thus superior to other East Asians.
