... and legends.
I find it interesting how Hitler and especially Himmler were so into these myths and legends. Even trying to find the Holy Grail, setting up massive resources to ultimately steal and rob cultural heritage, archeological findings etc and research them and so on.
It seems more and more like a cult, the whole nazi inner circle thing. They had all the knight stuff, and they used a lot of it in their massive events and propaganda. Easy to like things, knights are. That, combined with the whole racial purity and the idea of arayans being superior, investigating the race and other races, trying to find evidence to support the claims, or just make it up. But they were convinced of the arayan thing, even if they had to make up evidence.
It's an interesting mix, and it's like the madman gets ultimate resources, gathers himself with more loonies and gives them ultimate resources. What are the odds for that? Anyway, so they are like a cult, the top folks.
What interests me is how they turned into slaughter and genocide. Now, they really were interested in these mythologies and especially of arayan ones. Thinking that the country should be united, secured, and the racial purity contained. This would be good because... ... ? I don't know.
And why it means destroying others, that I do not know either.
But the interesting 'cult' turned into what we know happened. I don't know what the ratio of cult and just another power hungry dictator is. I mean that was it like a cult first, mixed up with other weird things, that turned into murderous reich, or was it supposed to be, at the beginning, a cult like thing, to prosper Germans, and to rise into glory, but with no plans to kill others and other races? Why was it necessary to take it on Jews and others to secure own race? I know they were blamed on lots of things, however as we know it was propaganda, so did the propaganda makers believe their own propaganda, if not, what were they trying to achieve with it?
