The Ahnenerbe is a secret institute of occult sciences, which united many scientists of fascist Germany, who, along with the ruling elite of the country, were remembered in history as great villains.
The philosophy of the Second World War twisted into blood, the ruthlessness, the numerous secret projects of the organization with an ominous look at the same time bear the stamp of incomprehensible mystery and inexhaustible mystery.
The development of secret superweapons, occult forces, secret underground lairs and the attraction of powerful ancient artifacts - this is the perfect recipe for organizing worldwide villainy. Rumor has it that Hitler made a deal with the Devil in exchange for world domination, but broke the deal, and the baton was passed on to Joseph Stalin. Since then, the technique has been declassified, and you will find everything about selling the soul on our website.
Perhaps there are more rumors than truths in this matter, but the ideas of the Nazis that matured in the laboratories of Ahnenerbe covered a vast area of activity from the material to the mystical and otherworldly. The Nazis really advanced deeply on research expeditions and collected a huge amount of ancient relics.
Fantastic and often completely absurd experiments were rooted in the dark world of mysticism and the occult so deeply that many of them did not become widely known as too ridiculous and incredible.
Hitler, Ahnenerbe, ancestral heritage
Hitler and many of the Nazi leaders had an enormous interest in the field of the occult, which is well documented. In fact, the Nazi Party was originally organized as a cabinet of the occult fraternity, right up until their rise to destructive political power.

An extremely heightened interest in occultism caused the formation of a secret intrigue - the Ahnenerbe Institute. A very real and complete clan of mystics, originally founded on July 1, 1935 by Heinrich Himmler (the notorious leader of the SS), Hermann Wirth and Darre.
Ahnenerbe literally means “inherited / ancestral heritage” originates as an institution dedicated to the study of archeology, anthropology, and the cultural history of Germanic heritage. In reality, it was much more than a search for evidence of the Nazi theory, according to which the Aryan race is the best creation of God, and she is destined to rule the life of the planet!
It was imperative for the major league of Nazis to find fundamental evidence to support the twisted ideology. To this end, this ghostly organization finances numerous expeditions and archaeological excavations around the world: Germany, Greece, Poland, Iceland, Romania, Croatia, Africa, Russia, Tibet and many other places in search of the lost secret runes of antiquity.
Artifacts, relics were searched, the ruins of crypts were ransacked, everything was carried out in search of ancient scrolls - evidence that could strengthen the claim that the Aryans were the dominant race over all.
Tibet was of particular importance for the scientists of Ahnenerbe, because it was believed that it was here that the great civilization of antiquity lived. It is in these places that the pure, ideally built Aryan race takes its origin. They were convinced of the idea that their greatest ancestors still live in these places, hiding in huge underground cities.
The Ahnenerbe is an organization ramified from science to occultism, which, given the pedigree of its organizing fathers, is not surprising. Hermann Wirth was a Dutch historian obsessed with finding the location of Atlantis. The future SS leader Himmler is well known for his passionate fascination with all things of the occult nature to a manic alarming degree.
In fact, Himmler was a kind of deranged, gripped by the grandiose desire to one wonderful day replace the Christian religion with one of his own decisions. He was one of the driving forces behind the steady divergence in the Ahnenerbe from its original purpose and growing role to the occult. In such an impulse mode, this sinister organization lived and grew, spreading around the world with the tasks of fantastic quests.
Agents Ahnenerbe in search of lost lands and ancient relics have visited remote areas of the world, climbed all the crypts available to them; they were not afraid to disturb the bones of the dead; they searched for mystical texts, magical items, ancient rarities, bizarre places of the paranormal, collecting supernatural artifacts of all kinds.
With official Nazi endorsements, the Ahnenerbe Institute expands to 50 branches dealing with everything from long-term weather forecasting, archeology, and space travel to supernatural research. Significantly, the Nazis stepped up their operations in search of such legendary wonders as the Holy Grail, the seat of Atlantis, the spear of Destiny, with which the Roman warrior Longinus cut off the suffering of Christ on the cross.
The groups also searched for various portals to ancient lost lands, including Atlantis, under the influence of an equally secret organization known as the Thule Society. A mysterious land called "Thule" was also believed to be the true birthplace of the Aryan race. The discovery of a fantastic land as the Nazis desired would have endowed them with vast superhuman powers: telekinesis, telepathy and levitation, that is, those abilities that they had lost over the centuries of mixing with the "lower races."
The Nazis' manic desire was to create powerful weapons based on ancestral technology. The idea boldly spreads in the "scientific" divisions of the organization, which actively sought to develop new technologies based on ancient lost or forbidden knowledge, mystical texts, alien technologies, as well as their own secret research.
The members of the Ahnenerbe were thoroughly interested in the possibilities of occultism, magic and psychic powers for use as weapons against their enemies. For this purpose, various research projects in this area have been opened. They even tried to create assassins who could kill using astral projection.
Among many other strange projects, they wanted to develop the use of magic spells as a weapon, and even penetrate through the astral plane into the future - and this was not considered something impossible and beyond.
There is a lot of speculation that the organization was strongly interested in finding and using alien technology to create weapons, allegedly in one of the searches they managed to find a crashed ancient UFO! All this may seem absurd, but in the case of the Nazis, this is no joke, as some of their projects were too revolutionary. Many Nazi characters in power believed fervently in these many programs and projects, investing a lot of money and manpower.
In the case of the Ahnenerbe and the Nazis in science, we see malevolent and sinister experiments on humans taking place in secret lairs and secret laboratories. This is especially noticeable when the Ahnenerbe was included in the Institut für Wehrwissenschaftliche Zweckforschung (Institute for Military Scientific Research) during World War II, where all the unthinkable research and development opened up that began a dark era of gruesome experiments on concentration camp prisoners.
Most of these projects were of dubious goals and results, but they were all extremely ruthless in content, with a demonstration of a lack of respect for human life "not Aryan". In fact, the Nazis did not perceive the prisoners as human at all.
Reality Ahnenerbe, Dr. Ruscher and his experiments
One of the most famous examples of the use of the Ahnenerbe is the project to determine the physical limits of pilots who fly the increasingly modern Luftwaffe aircraft. The series of experiments was overseen by the director of the Ahnenerbe, Wolfram Sievers, and the notorious SS doctor Rusher. The concentration camp inmates requested for this purpose from Himmler himself were used in the experiment - since none of the "true Aryans" were crazy enough to be willing to volunteer to participate in such a dangerous experience.
Rusher had unlimited access to helpless humans to use in his insane experiments. He placed the prisoners in portable vacuum chambers, reminiscent of medieval torture devices, to simulate different altitudes in flight. The capsules were used to simulate the pressure at different altitudes during rapid ascents of the aircraft, as well as the state of free fall without oxygen in order to analyze the consequences and impact on the human body of such situations.

Most of the subjects could not stand the inhuman experiments pushing people far beyond the physiological limits of the body. Note that Rasher was surprisingly cruel even with those who survived the experiments. When Himmler offered to mitigate the fate of the survivors as payment for "services", Ruscher refused, saying that all prisoners were Poles and Russians, therefore, did not deserve amnesty or pardon.
Rascher's thirst for human suffering is insatiable, and disgusting experiments follow one another. In one such experiment, more than 300 prisoners became test material to find out how long German pilots could survive if they were shot down over cold waters.
Subjects were frozen naked for 14 hours, or completely immersed in ice water for 3 hours. All this time, their condition was carefully monitored. This was followed by numerous different methods to revive them: scalding baths with hot water, or other unconventional methods - they were laid between naked women, who were also taken from concentration camps.
Another experiment was to test a substance called "Polygal" derived from beets and apple pectin. The capsule formulation was expected to quickly stop bleeding, and Rascher saw it as a revolutionary solution for the treatment of gunshot wounds and for use in surgery.
In some cases, the subjects were amputated without anesthesia to test Polygal. Ruscher was so confident in the readiness of the drug for production that he even set up a company to produce it. Although Polygal never saw mass production, the capsule design led to the invention of the infamous cyanide capsule.
Numerous human experiments have investigated possible treatments for deadly diseases caused by biological weapons. At the same time, they were looking for antidotes from a wide range of chemical weapons and poisons: injections subjected unwitting experimental subjects from concentration camps to various pathogens from poisons and deadly chemicals - this is how they looked for an antidote.
But even in death there was no rest for the exhausted martyrs. Many of the dead killed by these brutal experiments became part of an eerie collection of Jewish skeletons that were preserved for further research. Fascists from the "heritage of the ancestors" organization haunted even lifeless bodies.
The possibility of somehow manipulating the human body was also considered by Josef Mengele, a sadistic doctor at the Auschwitz concentration camp. Mengele was particularly interested in identical twins, experimenting with hundreds of pairs of young children.
The monstrous experiments on children pursued the following goals: to change the color of the eyes, to study the possibilities of the mental connection of the twins, for example, one of the twins was deliberately inflicted with pain and suffering, while calmly observing how the other child felt at that moment.
In laboratories filled with suffering and pain, they arranged to infect one twin with typhoid or malaria, and then performed blood transfusions from a brother / sister, figuring out whether she would treat the infected.
Numerous experiments with the transplantation of a body part from one twin to another, and even tried to surgically combine twins into Siamese twins.
The ultimate goal of the experiments with twins was also a comparative analysis: when one of the twins eventually died, the other was killed by an injection of chloroform. Both bodies would then be dismembered with laudable German pedantry for careful comparative analysis.
Ahnenerbe: zombies and super soldiers of Aryan blood
The use of experimentation in the Ahnenerbe on people did not stop at finding the limits and limitations of a person. Wandering among living and dead bodies, they were looking for a mental connection between the twins, but also the Nazis were devoured by a great desire to improve the human form - to create a super-soldier of a great nation.
Among the ways to achieve this goal, the electoral process of breeding, designed to bring out people of "pure Aryan blood", a project called "Lebensborn", gained popularity. The project required ideal models capable of having children without "impurities" in the race, which were "contaminated" by the human potential of the "superior race".
Ahnenerbe seriously believed that the work in the field of genetics would help unlock the enormous potential of a mysterious psychic force, allegedly lost due to the "erosion" of their true heritage, which would then give them the opportunity to once again rule the world from the "lower races".
In many cases, those who were deemed perfect exemplars - according to Nazi criteria - blue eyes, blonde hair, and Scandinavian features - were far from volunteering to enter the program. They were kidnapped or otherwise forced to participate in the project.
However, to achieve the required results, an ambitious project of high goals required many generations of careful selection, so the organization moved towards the goal in a shorter way.
The program, designed to create physically enhanced super-soldiers for use on the battlefield without restrictions, included an experimental drug called D-IX. A wild cocktail of cocaine and a powerful stimulant (pervitin) mixed with the powerful pain reliever eucodal.
It was believed that D-IX stimulates an increase in attention, concentration, fearlessness, heroism and self-confidence, increases endurance, strength, practically reduces sensitivity to pain, reduces hunger and thirst, and reduces the need for sleep.
For the first time, the drug was tested on prisoners in the Sachsenhausen concentration camp, and showed such encouraging results that soon the developers recruited participants from the military environment. The soldiers received capsules and set off on long campaigns in harsh terrain in full gear.
In fact, D-IX showed dramatic increases in stamina and concentration in subjects. The soldiers, taking the drug, freely traveled more than 100 km without stopping.
True, the seamy side of the "strength" capsule turned out to be that long-term use caused addiction to the drug. Nevertheless, the D-IX was a resounding success and was officially used in the field from March 1944, albeit in a limited dosage.
Ahnenerbe: resurrect Hitler?
While D-IX, like his more advanced combat stimulants, do actually exist, there are in fact more mysterious things. Some conspiracy theories believe that the Nazis were working to revive the dead using unknown means brought from Tibet and Africa.
An interesting case related to this case was made in April 1945, when the Allied forces captured the Bernterode military plant located in the German region of Thuringia. When US intelligence officers investigated a tunnel inside the factory, they discovered suspicious brickwork disguised as part of natural rock.
The destruction of the masonry opened the entrance to an underground cave that was found to contain huge deposits of stolen art and ancient relics. Many new Nazi uniforms were also kept here. But a more mysterious find awaited in the next cell - there were four extremely large coffins!
One of the coffins (real sarcophagi) held the remains of the 17th century Prussian king, Frederick the Great, and others of Field Marshal von Hindenburg and his wife. The fourth coffin did not have the body of the owner, but had a plaque engraved with the name of Adolf Hitler.
Although the reasons why these remains were so carefully preserved are not known, some have suggested that the Nazis had plans to resurrect or clone the dead at a later time. - At this point, I do not want to say that Ahnenerbe literally hoped to bring the deceased leaders back to life, but serious work was carried out in the field of cryogenics, which was probably planned to be done with Hitler's body.
Much closer to the truth, that persistent rumor among a number of fans of secrets and conspiracy theories lies in the fact that Ahnenerbe actively led projects seeking to create mindless zombies in order to send hordes of troops that are not afraid of injury to the enemy. Moreover, these would not be zombies at all, whose bodies would be raised from the dead.
Everything is much simpler and at the same time more terrible - a special medical procedure designed to destroy the intellect and destroy everything human to its very foundations. This was the recipe for creating indefatigable super soldiers in the Reich army.
Yes, Ahnenerbe did lead many strange research directions, extremely important for the "dark" organization. Here, all employees were deeply involved in various projects, research, study of the occult and the supernatural, medical experiments and the development of secret weapons from great ancestors. And no one knows for sure what they managed to uncover from ancient secrets and comprehend from the sphere of the astral world.
With the end of World War II, the mysterious Ahnenerbe “disappeared”, disappeared. It is believed that most of the data, documents, ancient texts and artifacts that the organization has collected over the years have been destroyed or stolen by the special services.
In the absence of real evidence, it is impossible to fully highlight the extent of their success in mining ancient relics and artifacts, so we are left with a lot of speculation and rumors regarding the dark legend of Ahnenerbe.
