"content": "Classical antiquity created a problem for Germanic antiquity because it created competition while also having highjacked humanist teachings in the last 2 centuries. This results in a split between Hitler’s integral history that accepts the greco-roman antiquity as German heritage and Himmler’s exclusive Nordic/Aryan heritage which includes the mythical Ultima Thule (Pitea of Massalia). Himmler rejects anything coming from the south as racially impure and ideologically contaminated. The Mediterranean is a racial melting pot which favoured the spread of Judeo-Christianity. Hence he believes in removing all Christian influence and replacing it with Germanic paganism. “What is Christian is not Germanic and what is Germanic is not Christian”. To further his crusade against Rome and Christianity, Himmler founded the Ahnenerbe to be a think tank of Germanic rather than classical antiquity. Himmler’s projects are not successful nor popular which forces him to cede on Hitler’s demand and visits Italy in the autumn of 1937 and creates a new department in the Ahnenerbe dedicated to greco-roman studies. The alliance with Italy favoured Hitler’s historical view which in turn replaced Himmler’s German/Roman opposition with Aryan/Semitic. Ample Italian archeological evidence increased Himmler’s interest despite his constant lack of consideration for Italians and anything in the Mediterranean. He blames the events of 1943 on “blood and race”. The new department is to “study Rome and Greece under indo-germanic and Aryan aspects” and has the mission to prove that Romans, Italics and Greeks come from Nordic immigration. Once again, the final aim is to prove that Germany was the matrix of civilisation. This new evidence would regain lost Germanic history that was taken away from Christianity. Actual work completed was less ambitious than planned and was essentially philology.

"content": "Hitler was unfavourable to the Germanic obsession of Himmler and the SS. For the Führer, Germanic history only started with the building of cathedrals, the Holy Roman Empire and the Prussian state. For him, German prehistory has no value due humiliating discoveries. Himmler responds by launching an archeological campaign to contribute to the Ancestral Heritage, the newest science headed by Gustav Kossinna. This research would receive hostility from those, like Hitler, who appreciate history without forcing Germanomania on archeological discoveries; of which many do not support Kossinna’s theories and even disprove them. <br /><br />Hitler prefers to draw a direct link between Greeks and Germans bypassing local archeological evidence in favour of existing Greek evidence which he considered directly Nordic. Furthermore, efforts by Himmler’s archeologists proved a disappointment for Hitler: in private conversation he stated that \"the Germani where no more evolved than contemporary newzelander Maori” (Wolfschanze, 1942). Hitler does not deny that civilisation came from the mediterranean. Nordic humanism only expressed itself in its Roman and Greek variations. The figure of Arminius, for example, is one of a Roman scholar who apprehended its intelligence and created a latin-germanic intermediary. The backwardness of Germani culture in the face of Greco-Latin civilisation led Hitler to accept that the cult of Wotan and other Neo-pagan mythology deserved to perish since it was displaced by Christianity (Jochmann, 1941). The efforts made by Himmler to pursue Germanomania prove that Germans cannot have a worthy ancestral heritage if they refer to Germany only: thus it would be imperative to annex greco-roman heritage to German genealogy. Hitler was quite displeased with Himmler’s optimism over every clay pot and stone axe discovered so, as an admirer of Antiquity, he moved closer to Italy which he recognised as a superior cultural complex. In 1936, Mussolini himself commented on German racial theories: “30 centuries of history allow us to look with disdain to the some people beyond the alps which ignored scriptures with which to transcribe history at a time when Roman had Caesar, Virgilio and Augusto” (Sugarco, 1993, p. 785). <br /><br />Nordic origins therefore could not rely on Germanomania only; lest German identity would be undermined. The ancestral heritage could certainly appeal to the Medieval and Early modern period but German antiquity simply lacks substance to stand on its own. <br />From a pragmatic perspective, Hitler wants to bypass this “black hole” in German history through new architectural projects and a construction of a new indo-germanic empire to rival the Roman Empire and give future Germans a proud heritage. In the meantime, annexing Greco-Roman heritage will grant a worthy ancestral heritage to the Nordic race “From the South comes the light. We oppose that; the North is the cradle of Aryan humanity, which has moulded the face of this planet” (Glauben und Kämpfen Für die SS-Männer aus den deutschen Volksgruppen des Südostens“, 1941).",

"content": "Hans Günther’s second section is dedicated to the racial history of the roman people. Following the same pattern used with the Greeks, Günther begins with the assumption that romans where of nordic origin. In his Rassengeschichte, Italic and germanic languages are considered related. From his theory, Italics from the north descended from the middle and high Danube regions (p. 69). Even if everything built by Rome was a product of Nordic blood, Romans still couldn’t be considered pure Nordics. This would make the research counterproductive to the goals of the reich of unifying and arming the Volk with exclusive identity and it would accept that Rome, Italians and Italy are just as nordic as Germany. Thus Günther believed that miscegenation occurred during the migration from the east, thus resulting in Nordic Romans slowly diluting their blood. Ludwig Schemann, who specialised in Roman history and racial anthropology, gives a negative account of Roman genetics explicitly mentioning the bastard nature of Roman society. Rome was not as pure as Sparta in its golden age and described as a “colluvies, a mixture and disorder, a confluence of human masses, none of which of first rate stock” (Schemann, 1928, p. 154). He also cites Cicerone who describes Rome as a “completely artificial creation” (p. 156). Therefore Rome, its laws, customs, etc, is a material reflection of the Nordic spirit, not a direct reflection of the blood. Rome cannot be purely nordic since it not a Volk, a race, or a people but rather an heterogenous artificial melting pot. Despite this, the greatness of the Roman civilisation was achieved only thanks to the Nordic element. The founders and the most relevant individuals evoke people from the North. Schemann includes a list of Roman ancestors with Nordic features: Catone - Red hair and blue eyes, Silla - blonde hair and blue eyes, Cesar - man of the North with only partial mixed features. Emperors where divided between those of positive and negative rule, with the “creator\" emperors being of nordic blood (p. 157). <br /><br />Alfred Rosenberg believed immigration was the lifeblood of ancient Rome and ancient Greece. Periodic Aryan immigration would regenerate the gene pool from the constant miscegenation that occurred in these multiracial societies (Rosenberg, 1930). Material creation is only as strong as the blood that creates it, thus as Nordic blood was diluted, Rome suffered periods of instability and decadence. For Rosenberg, Nordic immigration corresponded to growth and prosperity. Rome’s founding in 753 BC, Goths, Longbards, etc are all Nordic immigration waves which replenished Roman Nordic blood. This concept is the Völkerwanderungen, where invasions are actually migrations. This thought rejects the established view that Northern barbarians where akin to animal, pillaged, raped and killed and replaces it with the foederati, who integrate and provide biological regeneration. As a result, civilisations move towards North, from Greece to Rome and eventually to Northern Europe.",
