Ahnenerbe

Ahnenerbe was a research organization in Nazi Germany during the 1930s and 1940s. It was made up of scientists, historians, and other experts who worked together to prove that the ancient race of Aryan people - who were said to be the ancestors of the German people - were actually real. The organization was funded by the German government and its goal was to use research to prove that Aryan people had a direct connection with the German people and that they were the superior race. The organization looked at archaeological ruins, wrote books, and collected artifacts to prove their theories.
