The SS Order still remains a mystery to most Russian readers. Our consciousness is burdened with a whole pile of historical myths. We firmly believe that the Ahnenerbe was a sinister organization practicing black magic, the SS Order was the heir of the Templars, Heinrich Himmler was a supernatural person, and Adolf Hitler was a medium or adept who conspired with Satan. But for some reason no one is in a hurry to ask questions that lie literally on the surface. Maybe the point is that we are afraid to get detailed answers to our questions? What happened to the “country of Mr. Professor,” which was Germany at the beginning of the 20th century, which literally overnight turned into a barracks? Why were the Germans so unconditionally loyal to Hitler? Why did the generals, sensing a turning point in the war, not overthrow Hitler and take over to rule the country on their own? What, exactly, was the “Black Order” that permeated, like a spine, the entire Hitlerite state? All this can be easily explained by mysticism. However, pontificating about the Grail, the spear of Longinus and esoteric expeditions to Tibet is easier than trying to find answers to these questions. Maybe we can try?
