Episode 640: Heinrich Himmler Part IV - From Atlantis to Auschwitz

This week, the boys dive deep into Heinrich Himmler’s deranged Ahnenerbe - the SS’s “research institute” dedicated to proving Aryan supremacy through archaeology, mythology, and pure pseudoscience. From Karl Wiligut, the self-proclaimed prophet of Nazi meth, to Hans Hörbiger’s absurd “World Ice Theory,” we take a look at how crackpot archaeology, stolen children, and state-sanctioned madness fueled the SS’s occult obsession - and set the stage for the unimaginable horrors to come.
