The castle became a symbol of German unity centuries earlier when German tribes formed an alliance and stood against the Roman army. When the Nazis rose to power, the second most powerful Nazi leader, Heinrich Himmler hoped to radically expand this castle into his personal “Camelot.” The castle would further serve as a spiritual training centre for the SS and foster Himmler’s extreme theories on Aryan racial supremacy. An oaken round table was brought inside, which seated the top twelve SS leaders. As the reader may have guessed, Himmler intentionally modeled it after the legend of King Arthur and his knights. When SS leaders died, their bodies would be placed in urns and their ashes worshipped. There were even rumors Himmler attempted to converse with fallen SS through their severed heads.Return to Castle Wolfenstein. In the final level of the game, the player is attacked by a centuries deceased Saxon King Heinrich I, whom the Nazis had resurrected from the grave. The player must kill him to win. As it turns out, Heinrich I actually existed and founded the first German medieval state centuries earlier. Himmler believed he himself was a modern reincarnation of Heinrich, and dedicated his personal chamber also known as “Himmler’s Crypt” to the dead King. “Himmler’s Warlock” and “Himmler’s Rasputin.” Wiligut was committed to an insane asylum in 1924 for his strange occult beliefs before linking up with Himmler and the Nazi party. As an example of his bizarre theories, Wiligut believed Germany was originally settled in 12,000 b.c. by people from the lost continent Atlantis. He also believed Christianity was derived from a German god “Krist,” founder of the Avatar religion in 12500 bc. The purpose behind this tunnel was to allow Wiligut and Himmler access into some lost subterranean kingdom named “Agharti.” Indiana Jones movie. In Stephen Spielberg’s Last Crusade, Harrison Ford reaches “The Holy Grail” and comes into contact with the cup of Christ. This seemingly unreal scenario is similar to actual archaeological pursuits by Otto Rahn, one of Himmler’s subordinates. Rahn sought after the Holy Grail in Languedoc, a region in southern France. Like those ventures of Wiligut, Himmler financed this trip. Rahn’s interest in the grail was mentioned in one of his books titled: Crusade against the Grail in 1933. Apparently Himmler had read Rahn’s book earlier and was heavily influenced by it. Rahn believed “there were two grails: an emerald cup and a stone tablet.” He thought the tablet was associated with pre-German “super men,” a view which Himmler undoubtedly shared.Treasure Hunt: A New York Times Reporter Tracks the Quedlinburg Hoard .Coppens, Philip.
