Английская Википедия:Hexenkartothek
Шаблон:Short description The Hexenkartothek (known as the "H-special order" project[1]) was an investigation into witch trials led by SS-Untersturmführer Rudolf Levin under the orders of Heinrich Himmler.[2][3]
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.[4][5] This prompted William Monter to dub the Nazi regime "Europe's first 'pro-witch' government."[6] One pamphlet, 1935's The Christian Witch-Craze,[7] claimed that the witch-hunts were an attempt to exterminate "Aryan womanhood".[8]
According to Himmler the information gathered during the nine-year investigation was to be assembled into a propaganda book. No book was produced and Levin's habilitation thesis was rejected by the Munich University in 1944.[1]
