Ultimately silly and unimportant question in the grand scheme of things, but it’s been bugging me. It is true that the Nazis were hunting for various religious artifacts a la Indiana Jones or Weird War, or is that a later development for movies/games/etc?

I know there were some actual archeological expeditions by the Germans, one was in Tibet and inspired the game Uncharted 2

Here is a cool book. The Nazi had a lot of looney toons theories about ancient superhuman ancestry.
Castle Wevelgem near Paderborn still has some shrine (now forbidden to photograph).
I can’t mindread these @*# but I guess they were looking for a new “version of history” to found a new entity.
The book review is quite good.

Not entirely sure what all they searched for. But I do know that they wasted a lot of money and troops on searching for lost relics.
I think one was the holy grail but not 100% positive

Sorry for the late response, but thanks for the answers! It’s something I had been wondering about for a while, and I’ll have to check out the book, thanks again!
