The first study of Sinnbildforschung, German ideograph or swastika studies, though more broadly it tells the tale of the development of German antiquarian studies (ancient Germanic history, archaeology, anthropology, folklore, historical linguistics and philology) under the influence of radical right wing politics, and the contemporary construction of 'Germanicness' and its role in Nazi thought. The swastika and similar symbols were employed by the ancestors of the modern day Germans. As these had also become emblematic symbols of the forces of German reaction, Sinnbildforschung became intrinsically connected with the National Socialist regime after 1933 and disappeared along with the Third Reich in 1945. 606 $aSwastikas 606 $aSymbolism (Psychology) 606 $aNational socialism 606 $aNationalism$zGermany$xHistory$y20th century 615 0$aSwastikas. 615 0$aSymbolism (Psychology) 615 0$aNational socialism. 615 0$aNationalism$xHistory 676 $a929.9 700 $aMees$b Bernard$g(Bernard Thomas)$0920064 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910819582003321 996 $aThe science of the swastika$92146147 997 $aUNINA
