Reviews

Writer_Mario_Biondi Did really Himmler only want measures of skulls, legs, hands, colors of eyes, descriptions of Shapis and Blue Tibetan Sheep, and so on? Did he really want to discover traces of the origins of the Aryan race in Tibet? In Tibet of all places? I will never believe it. He simply wanted to establish an alliance with that strange country and its ruler (the Dalai Lama's Government) to try and create a connection with the Japanese armies which were at that time ravaging China, and close British India in a mortal pincer. The Nazis Schäfer and Beger knew it perfectly well. That was their real mission. Nevertheless this documentary remains of extraordinary interest. Probably the first account of Tibet on film. Needs English subtitles, which is possible to find on the Web.
