The first study of Sinnbildforschung, German ideograph or swastika studies, though more broadly it tells the tale of the development of German antiquarian studies (ancient Germanic history, archaeology, anthropology, folklore, historical linguistics and philology) under the influence of radical right wing politics, and the contemporary construction of 'Germanicness' and its role in Nazi thought. The swastika and similar symbols were employed by the ancestors of the modern day Germans. As these had also become emblematic symbols of the forces of German reaction, Sinnbildforschung became intrinsically connected with the National Socialist regime after 1933 and disappeared along with the Third Reich in 1945. With the Nazi seizure of power, ideographic studies became directly supported by the state. In 1935 an organization was founded within the SS to further its study, the SS-Ahnenerbe. Most infamous as the organ through which medical experiments were arranged to be performed on the inmates of concentration camps, the Ahnenerbe was founded as a historical research institution before it expanded its horizons to the physical sciences. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 648 7 20th century|2fast 648 7 1900 - 1999|2fast 650 0 Swastikas.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85131014 650 0 Symbolism (Psychology)|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85131411 650 0 National socialism.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85090131 650 0 Nationalism|zGermany|xHistory|y20th century.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008108267 650 7 Swastikas.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1431563 650 7 Symbolism (Psychology)|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast /1140764 650 7 National socialism.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1033761 650 7 Nationalism.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1033832 650 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/958235 651 7 Germany.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1210272 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 776 08 |iPrint version:|aMees, Bernard (Bernard Thomas).|tScience of the swastika.|dNew York : Central European University Press, 2008|z9789639776180|z9639776181|w(DLC) 2008025537 |w(OCoLC)182563630 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=214911|zOnline eBook.
