What is the source of the interest of the Nazi ideologists in the witch hunts? Alfred Rosenberg, as the author of "The Myth of the 20th Century," and Heinrich Himmler, who established a research group for a special assignment on witches in 1935, attempted to rewrite the history of the witch hunts. The author analyzes the approaches to this topic in the Third Reich and demonstrates how the discourse on witches disrupted the ideological claims of National Socialism. The findings contribute to a revision of the ideas of National Socialism as a homogeneous ideology.
