Hexenkartothek
The Hexenkartothek was an investigation into witch trials led by SS-Untersturmführer Rudolf Levin under the orders of Heinrich Himmler.
Himmler organised a team of SS researchers to collect historical records of witch trials with the goal of proving that the Catholic Church had used the trials to eliminate the German heritage. This prompted Stuart Clark to dub the Nazi regime "Europe's first and only 'pro-witch' government." One pamphlet, 1935's The Christian Witch-Craze, claimed that the witch-hunts were an attempt to exterminate "Aryan womanhood".
