As you know, the powerful organization "Ahnenerbe" - a secret SS unit engaged in the study of various magical practices - arose on the basis of a small circle of Munich occultists, which was called "Thule". Back in 1918, its members proclaimed the Germans to be the direct descendants of the Aryans, and, among other things, were actively engaged in the search for the legendary ancestral home of this ancient people. During the Second World War, the Nazi leadership continued the work it had begun, sending research groups to different countries.
In Iceland
Society "Thule" was named after the legendary island, which, according to the works of ancient authors, is located on the northernmost border of inhabited lands. It was there, as the German occultists believed, in the first place, that it is worth looking for the origins of the Nordic race.
Since the majority of researchers believed that the island of Thule was Iceland, in 1938 the representatives of "Ahnenerbe" visited there under the pretext of studying the geography and history of this small state.
The first to write about the existence of the legendary island was the Greek navigator and scientist Pytheas (about 350 - about 320 BC) in his work "On the Ocean". According to his instructions, you can get to Tula if you sail by ship north of Britain for 6 days. Moreover, this land is "… near the frozen sea."
Various researchers have hypothesized that in addition to Iceland, Greenland and the Faroe Islands can claim the right to be called the legendary ancestral home of the Germans.
It is noteworthy that the ancient authors had a low opinion of the inhabitants of Tula. Thus, the famous scientist Strabo (about 64 - about 24 years BC) believed that this northern land, like many neighboring territories, "is inhabited by perfect savages, eking out a miserable existence in the cold."

As representatives of an extremely secret organization, the members of Ahnenerbe did not bother to inform the world community if they found any historical evidence and artifacts proving that Iceland is the ancestral home of the Nordic race.
In Scandinavia
According to the Nazi occultists, the Scandinavian countries could also lay claim to the title of the cradle of the Aryans. For example, in 1936, SS researchers visited Sweden, they were extremely interested in rock paintings (petroglyphs) found by archaeologists in the province of Bohuslen.
According to the findings of scientists, the age of these images can vary from 2.6 to 4 thousand years. This is the Bronze Age. Since the ancestors of the Germans, according to the members of the "Ahnenerbe", were carriers of an ancient culture, it was assumed that it was they who invented the petroglyphic letter of Bohuslain.
The rock carvings found in Sweden are really interesting. They depict people, animals, birds, scenes of hunting and battles, boats and ships, the sun, various Old Norse deities, war wagons, horse riders and even dogs, already tamed by people by that time.
By the way, in 1994 the Bohuslan petroglyphs were included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. And most modern researchers do not associate them with the ancestors of the Germans.
In Tibet
The Nazis also conducted a thorough search for the ancestral home of the legendary Aryans in Tibet. In 1938, a group of German scientists visited the Himalayas. The official goal of the expedition, led by explorer Ernst Schaefer, was to study the unique nature and climate of the highest mountain range on our planet. In fact, many scientists did not hide this, they were looking for ancient artifacts that were kept in Buddhist monasteries from time immemorial.
The Nazis were interested in stories about the beautiful country of Shambhala, where you can gain mystical power and join the great secrets of the universe. Employees of "Ahnenerbe" suggested that it was in such a special and lost place that the ancestral home of the Aryans could be located.
Exploring Buddhist monasteries, German scholars sought to discover similarities between the architecture of Tibet and the monuments of ancient German architecture. Representatives of the SS also conducted ethnographic research, trying to find the descendants of the ancient Aryans, preserved in the Himalayas.
At the North Pole
In accordance with the so-called "doctrine of eternal ice", which adhered to the Nazi occultists, the great and powerful civilization of their ancestors perished in a global catastrophe. For example, the collision of our planet with a large meteorite could plunge the Earth into another ice age, during which the Aryans could not preserve their ancient culture.
In addition, the very first collection of Hindu hymns "Rig Veda", dated to the 2nd millennium BC, contains an indication that the cradle of the Aryan civilization was the land located in the Far North.
One of the authors of the Indian "Vedas" describes that in the country of his distant ancestors, rivers are frozen most of the time, and people walk in the snow. The Pole Star is motionless in one place, and the sky is colored with flashes of the northern lights. Mentioned in the religious text and about cold nights, which lasted for six months, and the constellations that are clearly visible from the Arctic.
Based on this information, "Ahnenerbe" was looking for the ancestral home of the Germans in the Arctic and even at the North Pole. Moreover, in the area of permafrost, secret scientific bases of the fascists were organized, which were also engaged in meteorological research. Scientists reported weather data to the ships of the navy.
The goal of the occultists was secret knowledge and magical artifacts, these fragments of the ancient civilization of the Aryans, lost in the ice.
In Antarctica
The Ahnenerbe was not only interested in the North Pole. In January 1939, German scientists visited Antarctica. They assumed that the ancestral home they were looking for could be located on this continent, and the lands covered with eternal ice hide the ruins of a magnificent civilization.
The goal of the Nazis was to win the Second World War, the occultists hoped that the artifacts they discovered would help Adolf Hitler and the Wehrmacht army to defeat all other countries and peoples of the world.
Some sources claim that a secret Nazi base No. 221, called "New Berlin", was created in Antarctica. Allegedly, the Germans were planning to actively develop the South Pole, making it an important part of the Third Reich.
