26/32 Where are the #Hyperboreans in this? They are connected with the Atlantis- and Aryan-myth through the fictions of the Theo-, Anthro- and Ariosophists. The H.-myth was misused as a (false!) evidence to prove that Atlantis was in the north and would be home of the Aryans. 
27/32 That the esoteric-folkish movements, such as Ariosophy, prove that the Nazis were occultists is another myth that alarms scientists today. Hitler distanced himself from the Esoterics (See Goodrick-Clarke). We see this also in his distancing from the Atlantis-House
28/32 But it is known that Himmler and Alfred Rosenberg were the best known representatives of a minority in the NSDAP who were enthusiastic about esotericism. Rosenberg also misused the Hyperborean myth in his racist writings. (Strohmeyer, p. 93 onwards)
