Show Notes
Heinrich Himmler, second in command only to Adolph Hitler, rebuilt Castle Wewelsburg (pronounced VIVES-BORK) in Germany to house special meetings which included all types of idol worship and satanic rituals for his SS commanders, to which he gave Death's Head rings to symbolize their lifelong devotion to the Nazi party. The castle served as a training academy for new SS, where they were steeped in Himmler's own view of Aryan history, a center for exploration and archeology that supported his theories of a master race, and a laboratory for engineering study of a crashed UFO which was brought there for study., and from which the Nazi's developed a flying saucer. Over 11,500 "death rings" were returned to Himmler, who hid them prior to the end of the war, one legend being that he buried them in a crypt below the castle.
