Hitler’s Treasure Hunters
Synopsis
Indiana Jones, the swashbuckling lead character in the Hollywood movie franchise, thwarted the Nazis from stealing treasures and religious relics including the Holy Grail and the Ark of the Covenant. The movies created a cultural phenomenon – but few of the millions who’ve watched his fictional adventures would realise the shadowy Nazi characters were based on fact. Heinrich Himmler’s special branch of the SS – Das Ahnenerbe – were tasked with finding treasures, artefacts, and religious relics of power like the Holy Grail, that might secure them victory in the war and prove Aryan supremacy beyond any doubt.

In defeating the British Empire and giving birth to a new nation, the American Revolution turned the world upside-down. Thirteen colonies on the Atlantic Coast united in rebellion, won their independence, and established a republic that still endures. The American Revolution will present the story of the men and women of the Revolutionary generation, their humanity in victory and defeat, and the crisis that they lived through.
