The history of the secret society Ahnenerbe begins in 1933. Then in Munich there was a traveling exhibition called "heritage of the ancestors", translated from German "anenerbe".
Its organizer is Herman Wirth, a specialist in ancient religions. He was interested in the history of the ancient Germanic tribes, studied their beliefs. The leadership of the Third Reich approved such activities.
Founding Fathers Ahnenerbe
Three people - Hermann Wirth, Richard Walter and Henry Himmler founded a public organization that they called the "German heritage", "Deutsche Ananerbe". Over time, the charter of the society was changed, Hermann Wirth became a separate practicing researcher, and many SS officers appeared in the structure of the society. Soon, the Ahnenerbe became an SS structure and received the status of "head office A", and carried out its activities under the patronage of Reichsfuehrer Heinrich Himmler and under the personal control of the Fuehrer. Some researchers believe that Hitler spent more money on the Ahnenerbe and on research in the field of the occult than the Americans on the creation of the atomic bomb.
All occult research of Ahnenerbe at the end of the 30s was transferred to the category of "secret". Their results are reported to the top leadership of the Third Reich. At the same time, the “heritage of the ancestors” has a new symbol - “Irminsu” or “Irmin's pillar”. According to Andrey Vasilchenko, candidate of historical sciences, “this is a kind of shrine that was destroyed by Charlemagne in the 8th century. This is a tree, a Germanic deity, a designation of the relationship between heaven and earth."
Some of Ahnenerbe's classified projects are perplexing. The patrons of this organization Heinrich Himmler was interested in everything related to the occult. One of the dubious "responsible tasks" was assigned to Ernst Schaeffer, who returned from the Tibetan expedition. He was supposed to be looking for a miraculous drink, the secret of which was allegedly kept by the gypsies.
Himmler believed and hoped to get a recipe for a healing drink. Another of Himmler's occult interests, the practice of the sidereal pendulum, led to the emergence of an entire SS unit called the "closed SP structure." With the help of a sidereal pendulum, they tried to track down the routes of American convoys to the Soviet Union.

How was biolocation taught?
Anyone who had the ability to paranormal abilities in the SS immediately took note. Under the anenerbe, there were “dowsing courses”. They were search engines, armed only with a rotating frame, in other words, a vine. Konstantin Zalessky, a historian, notes: “For the study of minerals, in particular, gold, in Bavaria, the forces of dowsers were involved. Before the fall of Ahnenerbe, she managed to prepare 3 issues of "dowsers". They could find sources of drinking water, deposits of minerals, and also performed the functions of scouts during hostilities.
But how can a person be taught paranormal abilities? The Ahnenerbe believed that they could be developed by awakening the inner energy of a person, the power of od.
Scientists of the Third Reich were looking for a way to achieve this. Wolfram Sievers will talk about these experiments later at the Nuremberg Trials. According to him, in Ahnenerbe he held the position of the business manager of this organization. It was Sievers who authorized the experiments that were carried out on people, so he was sentenced to death. Experiments were carried out to find people in a rarefied atmosphere and hypothermia. Officially, this was done by order of the Luftwaffe, supposedly in order to bring back to life German pilots who were in the waters of the northern seas.
But the methods of dealing with hypothermia at that time already existed, which means that the occult scientists of the Third Reich conducted their experiments with a different purpose. The Nazis showed interest in the northern territories for a long time.
Back in 1937, Otto Rahn organized an expedition to the north - he went first to Iceland, then to Greenland. Vadim Telitsyn, a candidate of historical sciences, claims that in Greenland he is trying to find evidence of the existence of a castle, material about which he finds in Russian chronicles. These chronicles are still kept in the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra. He did not find the castle, but found some inscriptions on the rocks, drawings. What were the Nazis looking for in Greenland?
Perhaps the ancestral home of the ancient Nordic race. In the hands of Otto Rahn was the map, which was made by Gerard Mercator. In the 16th century, the cartographer had amazingly accurate information about the position of the continents and their outlines. But Greenland on the Mercator maps was in the North Pole. In ancient times, Greenland was inhabited by the "white race" - tall, strong enough people, blue-eyed. But the results of the expedition to Greenland disappointed the leadership of the Third Reich. In 1939, Otto Rahn writes a letter of resignation from the SS. In the same 1939, Otto Rahn went to Austria - and tragically died in the Alps.
On the Kola Peninsula, the SS-sheep found dungeons that were formed 26 thousand years ago. Scientists suggest that this is the heritage of the ancient Hyperboreans - their cities once existed in the North. The SS also found traces of the Hyperboreans, but they did not want to share their discoveries with the world scientific community. An order was given to blow up the entrances to the dungeon cities. What did the scientists from Ahnenerbe want to hide? According to one of the versions, scientists managed not only to find ancient cities, but also to "establish a connection" with those who lived there.
The ancient Hyperboreans possessed paranormal abilities, communicated through telepathy, and could even live outside the physical body.
German expeditions to Antarctica
In the notes of the Wehrmacht Colonel Wilhelm Wolf, an order was found to form detachments to be sent to Antarctica. The notes were found by the participants of SMERSH, and Stalin became interested in this expedition. After the war, on the orders of Stalin, a Soviet expedition was sent, led by General of the Navy Nikolai Kuznetsov. The results of the expedition were classified, but the Nazi bases were found. According to available archival documents, the entrance to the base is at a depth of 450 meters, and the base is located under Lake Vostok.
It is known that as early as 1938, German ships began to cruise regularly to Antarctica; in 1940, at the direction of the Fuehrer, they began to build military bases. The land of Queen Maud was chosen as the site. On the land of Queen Maud there are thermal springs, huge grottoes, where German submarines were based. Why did Hitler choose Antarctica? Hitler set up real temples of worship of heavenly forces there, as he believed that the main sources of energy are concentrated around the poles. Therefore, he created temples there in order to perform occult actions in order to seize dominion over the world.
Occult capital of the Third Reich
The leadership of the Third Reich planned that the Wewelsburg castle would be the capital of the new empire. Only a select few, SS-sheep, members of the "Dead's Head" order will live in it. It was planned to transfer the SS headquarters and the Ahnenerbe organization here.
Many historians suggest that the outline of the castle resembles the grail into which a spear is lowered. The castle is located in northern Westphalia and is a sacred place for the SS. Here is the megalithic building Exterstein, which, according to legend, was built in one night. A few days before the collapse of the Third Reich, Himmler ordered the blowing up of the Wewelsbrug. According to some reports, the rings of the killed SS-sheep were kept in the safes of Wewelsburg. But when the castle passed into the hands of the Americans, nothing was found in the Wewelsburg safes.
