Before being arrested for political activity in 1905, Ferdinand Ossendowski (1876–1945) mingled with occult circles in St. Petersburg and Paris, meeting Rasputin and the eminent French magus, Papus. From them, he picked up the doctrine of Agartha, described by Saint-Yves d’Alveydre, that he incorporated into his book Beasts, Men, and Gods. Between 1921 and 1939, he worked as a travel writer and as a political adviser and sometime spy for the Polish government. He joined the Polish Resistance during the war, and may have used his old occult skills to discover, and then mastermind the gathering of intelligence on, Das Laternentrâger Projekt. His death in January 1945 likely aborted an SAC:ST operation to sabotage the Bell site. (2006 TopFoto / Fortean)

• Dr. Franz Altheim and his lover Erika Trautmann explored Roman remains in the East for evidence of the Nordic racial core within the Roman Empire. In August 1938 they arrived in Romania to study Dacian fortifications, moving on to Assur and Hatra in Iraq. (Altheim and Trautmann had previously scouted Serbia and Croatia in 1937 while looking for more Nordic-Roman runic petroglyphs.) While there, they also prepared reports and established asset relationships for the Sicherheitsdienst (Security Service; SD), the Nazi overseas intelligence service. Doubtless, other Ahnenerbe expeditions were merely cover for such clandestine operations, or possibly joint occult-espionage ventures.

• Having sparked Himmler’s and Wüst’s interest with his 1935 discovery of Aryan descendants of Alexander the Great’s soldiers living in Kafiristan, the orientalist Inge Kircheisen returned to Afghanistan in 1938. His mission: track down reports of a vimana craft (a flying chariot from Vedic myth) hidden somewhere in a remote valley. With local allies (eager to attack British India when war broke out) his team constructed a “weather station” in the Hindu Kush, possibly intended as a broadcast point for vril power.

• The Dutch geologist Dr. Assien Bohmers of the AAG, following his discovery of Cro-Magnon remains in the Mauern caves in Bavaria, toured paleontological sites and libraries all over western Europe in 1938. In December 1938, he was allowed to enter the Cave of the Sorcerer at Trois-Frères, believed by its custodian the Abbé Breuil to contain the first image of divinity or magic ever painted. Bohmers viewed this horned, bestial figure alone, and the Ahnenerbe mined his classified report not only for insights about the primordial runes, but also Cro-Magnon musical instrumentation (horns are painted on the wall of the cave) and the partial skeleton key to lycanthropy.

• In the fall of 1939 following the invasion of Poland, Sievers and RSHA Amt VII head Franz Six prepared a list of crucial archaeological, antiquarian, and artistic treasures to be looted from Polish museums and collections. The Ahnenerbe commander of the mission, Untersturmführer Peter Paulsen, was completely outmaneuvered by Göring’s own art expert, Sturmbannführer Kajetan Mühlmann, and by operatives from Alfred Rosenberg’s staff (see feature box). Only the unauthorized action of Hans Schleif secured five boxcars full of artifacts from the Warsaw Archaeological Museum for Ahnenerbe study.
