    Ahnenerbe item of interest? Dr. Hans Strobel / Dr. Ernit Krieck

    Picked up this interesting signed letter dated 2/11/37, Volk Im Werden. Dr. Strobel wrote prolifically about the Germanic ceremonies and cultural customs in the formative years of the society.

    Any value or insight into this, please?

        The castle in the postcard is noch far away from me.
        It's in Plan, Sudetenland. Now Plana - Czech Republik.
        Kind regards

          Hans Strobel was a German "Ahnenerbe" folklorist in the Alfred Rosenberg administration. He was leader of the administration "Feiergestaltung und Volkskunde" and wrote the book "Bauernbrauch im Jahreslauf". He was a SS-Hauptsturmführer and very close to Himmler and many other well known SS men such as to Wolfram Sievers. The history and self appointed experts says that Strobel was killed in action as SS-Untersturmführer in December 1944, but this is not true because a large estate of his correspondence is in my hands and Hans Strobel was already a SS-Hauptsturmführer before 1940 and he survived the war. Well, your document as well as the postcard is rare because it is related to the Ahnenerbe.

            One further bit of data on Dr. Hans Strobel: the last DAL listing I can find for him was in the publication dated 1.10.44, at which time he continued to hold the rank of SS-Sturmbannführer, which he had been promoted to on 9.11.41. Hope this is helpful to you.

                The signature under the letter ist from Dr. Marianne von Zychlinsky

                    The "Professor Dünninger" named in the letter should be this guy: Josef Dünninger * 1905 + 1994
