The Secret of the Ahnenerbe Archives

Myth, Science, and the Hunt for Lost Knowledge

The Ahnenerbe, the Nazi research division dedicated to uncovering lost knowledge, ancient relics, and supposed Aryan origins, embarked on expeditions across the world—from Tibet to the Arctic—searching for myths turned reality. What did they truly find, and what happened to their secret archives after the fall of the Third Reich? In this episode of Hangar 51 Files, we separate fact from fiction, investigating the real goals of the Ahnenerbe, the artifacts they sought, and the post-war fate of their classified research.
