Himmler requested a search for evidence of Thor’s hammer to the Ahnenerbe (a Nazi research center) in a letter from May 1940:
Otto Rahn, a trained German philologist, believed in the stories of the Holy Grail and sought to prove its existence. Himmler was intrigued by this man’s beliefs and provided funding for Rahn to go out and prove his theories true.
Himmler also came into contact with a man named Yrjö von Grönhagen. By Himmler’s request, he sent Yrjö on a mission to find evidence of witches and sorcerers in Finland.

Perhaps The Allies would have fallen if The Axis Powers had recovered these ancient relics?
“Have the following researched: Find all places in the northern Germanic Aryan cultural world where an understanding of the lightning bolt, the thunderbolt, Thor’s hammer, or the flying or thrown hammer exists, in addition to all the sculptures of the god depicted with a small hand axe emitting lightning. Please collect all of the pictorial, sculptural, written and mythological evidence of this. I am convinced that this is not based on natural thunder and lightning, but rather that it is an early, highly developed form of war weapon of our forefathers, which was only, of course, possessed by the Aesir, the gods, and that it implies an unheard of knowledge of electricity.”
