They were quite mad of course. Famously they sent an expedition to Tibet to prove that the master Race originated in Atlantis and that their descendants were Aryans and therefore German. They measured skulls of living Tibetans and other physical features and concocted some kind of nonsense while despising the living Tibetans as "degenerates". Quite how they got from an Atlantic Atlantis to Tibet and back to northern Europe, I don't recall. Their Aryans seem to have been the original "blue-eyed boys" whereas the reality was that the Aryans were Indo-European Sanskrit speaking people moving into northern India.
