That's an interesting issue. I stumbled upon it I when found the letter Umar ibn al Khattab wrote to Yazdgird III when muslim armies conquered Persia. In his reply Yazdgird states that they (Persians/Zoroastrians) consider themselves as Aryans. That happened in the 7th century, so possibly Adolf Hitler took this term and twisted it. I don't know enough about Zoroastrianism to judge if the ancient term Aryan was applied in order to express some kind of supremacy. According to the clip one major zoroastrian slogan was "Good Thoughts, good words, good deeds" which sounds quite reasonable, especially since Yazdgird opposes muslim savagery.If anyone got reliable sources about Zoroastrian teachings or their history go ahead.
