Among the highest dignitaries of the Third Reich, some were keen on esotericism and occultism. This was particularly the case of Heinrich Himmler, the head of the SS. In addition to being a fanatic of Adolf Hitler, Himmler was steeped in racist beliefs. He was obsessed with the purity of the Aryan race. To prove the superiority of the Aryans, he was ready to do anything, including perverting science. In 1935, to give a scientific basis to Nazi ideology, he founded the Ahnenerbe, a very special research institute. Anthropologists, raciologists, doctors and archaeologists were at the service of the Nazis. From the quest for Thor's hammer to the search for Atlantis, nothing stopped Nazi researchers. And just like its creator, the Ahnenerbe fell into the criminal madness of the Third Reich. Discover the occult history of Nazi "science". Our books War Stories: ???? (NEW????)
