Scope and Content
The file contains various documents either written by or to Heinrich Himmler, the leader of the SS, concerning the so called "Ahnenerbe" Program ranging from the late 1930s to 1945. This organisation sought to pseudo-scientifically underpin the national socialist-nordic/aryan ideology through archaelogical findings, expeditions, occultist, pagan practices and rituals, human experimentation and pseudo-anthropological and ethnological research in the quest to find the origins of the nordic-aryan master race, whom in Himmlers and his disciples beliefs, once ruled the world from the tops of the Himalayas or the mythical city of Atlantis. The file therefore covers a wide array of topics and correspondence centered around the Ahnenerbe organization as well as the people associated with it, including Himmler
