Altan Castle, located in the lands of Lower Silesia, was founded in the 1200s by Saxon knights. Before 1945 it belonged to Germany. Following the results of the 2nd World War, this territory, along with the castle, passed to Poland.
From 1934 to 1945, the ancient Altan Castle was the headquarters of Ahnenerbe. In 1945, during fierce fighting in Lower Silesia, Red Army units captured it. A huge number of papers with intricate texts were found. This was the Ahnenerbe archive. These papers are a kind of concentrate of mass technologies of the Nazis coming to power and manipulating people. 25 railway wagons were filled with documents only.
In addition, soldiers of the 58th infantry division of the 5th army, near the fortress of Torgau, captured a railway train with the same documents. Something else was found in captured Berlin. All these documents ended up in a Special archive of the USSR. There were rumors that Stalin was going to build a separate building for the German archive. A huge archive, including notes from the Tibetan expedition, photographs of strange objects, maps of various regions of the world, copies of German folklore stamped "top secret". It is not known where this archive is now. . Perhaps this is due to the fact that some part of the archive remains relevant to this day. Or maybe because it is not of particular value, being a set of obscurantistic theories, assumptions and untested hypotheses, but it is a pity to get rid of it, because so much blood has been shed. No one can answer this question for sure. Although, it is known for certain that in the 90s, American and Western European intelligence agencies showed increased interest in acquiring the Ahnenerbe archive. However, Boris Yeltsin refused to do this, despite the fact that he had previously given permission to send domestic archives to the United States under the Grid-MO and Grid-AN programs. In my opinion, this once again speaks to the value of the documents captured by the Soviet army.
It should be noted that not only the USSR was hunting for them, but also our Western coalition allies. So, the Americans managed to capture and attract to work for the United States most of the employees of the Concordia project, including its head Kurt Kiesinger, the future Federal Chancellor of Germany from 1966 to 1969. . And it was this propaganda department of the SS-Ahnenerbe that was transformed into the American propaganda headquarters during the Cold War. Also, the Americans have mastered the secrets of the Thor project to create psychotic weapons.
The scale of Ahnenerbe's work was found criminal at the Nuremberg trials, and the organization's secretary general, Wolfram Sievers, was executed.
They forgot about "Ahnenerbe", but suddenly, about three decades ago, they remembered about him, legends began to be made about the work of his "scientists", and their work and results of activity were overgrown with fantastic rumors, false testimony of "participants" in those events and dozens of fake photos..
This is what I want to talk about, but at the beginning I will recall the words of the chief propagandist of the 3rd Reich, Goebbels: "A lie repeated a thousand times becomes the truth" and these words directly refer to the glorification of the activities of one of the Nazi organizations.
Ahnenerbe /German. Ahnenerbe — "Ancestral Heritage", full name — "German Society for the Study of Ancient German History and Ancestral Heritage"/ — an organization that existed in 1935-1945, created to study the traditions, history and heritage of the Nordic race with the aim of occult and ideological support for the state apparatus of Nazi Germany, becomes an SS structure, receives the status of "chief management", and the heads of the institute are part of Himmler's personal staff. By 1939, Ahnenerbe had 50 institutes under the leadership of a specialist in the field of ancient sacred texts, Professor Wurst. According to some reports, the state spent more money on research conducted at Ahnenerbe than the United States spent on creating the first atomic bomb. The scope of Ahnenerbe's interests and activities were so wide that "... covered a huge area, from scientific activity in the proper sense of the word, to the study of the practice of the occult, from the vivisection of prisoners to espionage of secret societies." In its research, Ahnenerbe intensively used psychics, clairvoyants, mediums, and with their help developed a methodology for using psychotic weapons and manipulating people. One of the most important directions in the activities of Ahnenerbe was the search for ancient knowledge of "supercivilizations", forgotten magical runes, biblical and other mythical artifacts, especially those that, according to the historians of Ahnenerbe, represented the most powerful weapons of the ancient Gods. In search of this knowledge (and the knowledge transformed through the prism of science, the Ahnenerbe scientists regarded it as a weapon), numerous expeditions were organized to the most inaccessible corners of our world: Antarctica, Tibet, South America, Crimea, the Caucasus, etc. In addition, the possibility of obtaining knowledge from extraterrestrial civilizations was not excluded. For these purposes, there were specially trained contactors at Ahnenerbe.
An equally important task was to conduct experiments on people to identify super survival opportunities in extreme situations with lack of oxygen, severe cold, etc. /Dr. Rasher and Dr. Mengel conducted their experiments on people under the auspices of Ahnenerbe/. The search for natural medicines to prolong life, cure all possible diseases and, again, transform into superhumans, etc. But the main task has always been only one - the search for traces of the Aryan race and evidence of the "advantage" of the Aryan Germans over other peoples, the "consolidation" of the traditions, history and heritage of the German people, i.e. the materialization of Wirth's delusional ideas, set forth by him in the book "The Sacred Proto-language of Mankind"
Thus, Ahnenerbe has never had any engineers, aircraft designers, or nuclear physicists on staff, there were no industrial and production sites, laboratories and workshops where it was possible to create and experiment with flying, ground and underground mechanisms.
And now, if you look at it, the Ahnenerbe were the first to "create and test" flying machines in the form of disks. Hundreds of their photographs and drawings are posted on the Internet, dozens of "honest" people confirm their truth. Yes, here, but even with a cursory check, none of them found their confirmation. Interestingly, more and more new data on Ahnenerbe's achievements are being published, and the documents that refute them are not noticed by these publicists. All these supposedly "secret" descriptions and drawings of flying vimanas of ancient Hindus are not a problem to find now, even on the Internet they are currently on display at the German flying saucer museum in Roswell (USA, New Mexico), but, as journalists quickly found out, this is a "new model" The 80s.
There are also many publications about the naval bases of the German navy and even the whole secret Nazi colony "New Swabia" in Antarctica. Every year, new sensations appear on this issue, where Gitler Himself, flying saucers, and even the expedition of American Admiral Baird are implicated. What can I say - there are no limits to human fantasies. They sucked the sensation out of their fingers, came up with props and that's it. The authors were not even interested in the topic that the creation of such a colony, and even more so a military base, was not the competence of Ahnenerbe, who had neither technical, human, nor any other opportunity to implement this project. They refer to some secret convoys of German submarines and a map of the Antarctic coast seized at the headquarters of Grand Admiral Karl Donitz, commander of the submarine fleet, Commander-in-chief of the Navy of Nazi Germany, head of state and commander-in-chief of the armed forces of Nazi Germany from April 30 to May 23, 1945. There really is such a map, but it only reflects not the sea approaches to the shores of Antarctica, but to the Argentine Tierra del Fuego and its islands of the South Atlantic. That's where the German submarine base was, created under Argentine President Juan Pirona and which functioned until August 1945. Only this German base had nothing to do with the mythical "New Swabia", it refers to the organization of former members of the "SS" ODESSA and the export of Nazi criminals to Latin America, and this is a completely different story.
There are still a whole lot of discoveries and inventions allegedly made by Ahnenerbe scientists, but this, as well as their refutation, are not allowed to talk about the scope of the commentary in the Film search.
All these fictional "sensations" about Ahnenerbe's activities would cease to be so intriguing if documents from a Special Archive were declassified on this topic. But if they don't do it, then someone needs it.
