The racialist, who was the last survivor of the “SS Schäfer Expedition” (dying in 1998), met His
Holiness the Fourteenth Dalai Lama at least five times (in 1983, 1984, 1985, 1986, and 1994). The
meetings were all very hearty affairs. The former SS member dedicated a small brochure entitled “My
Encounters with the Ocean of Knowledge” to the first three (Beger, 1986).
The Dalai Lama (worshipped by his followers as the “Ocean of Wisdom” because of his
“omniscience”) claims not to have been informed about his Nazi friends’ past. One may well believe
this, yet he has not distanced himself from them since their exposure. His statements about Adolf
Hitler and the “final solution to the question of the Jews” also seem strange. Just like his brother,
Gyalo Thondup, he sees the dictator as a more noble figure than the Chinese occupiers of Tibet: “In
1959, in Lhasa, the Chinese shot Tibetan families from aeroplanes with machine guns. Systematic
destruction in the name of liberation against the tyranny of the Dalai Lama! Hu, Hu, Hu! In Hitler's
case he was more honest. In concentration camps he made it clear he intended to exterminate the
Jews. With the Chinese they called us their brothers! Big brother bullying little brother! Hu, Hu, Hu!
It’s less honest, I think” (Daily Telegraph, August 15, 1998).
The Nazi–Tibet connection
Were there occult intentions behind the “SS Schäfer Expedition”? In the neo-fascist literature these
are considered a top secret mission of Himmler’s to make contact with the “adepts of Shambhala and
Agarthi”. Authors from the scene like Wilhelm Landig, Miguel Serrano, Russell McCloud, etc., let
their readers believe that through these expeditions a kind of metapolitical axis between Berlin and
Lhasa was constructed. Dietrich Bronder knows that “Schäfer’s SS men were permitted to enter holy
Lhasa, otherwise closed to Europeans and Christians, even the magnificent Lamaist temple that
contains just one huge symbol, the holiest in the Mongolian world — the swastika” (Bronder, 1975, p.
250)
Although in recent years comprehensive research findings about the interests of leading Nazis in
occult phenomena have been published, this is currently played down by pro-Lamaist intellectuals,
especially as far as a occult Nazi — Tibet connection is concerned. [1] Ernst Schäfer and Bruno
Beger, the two leaders of the undertaking (the SS Schäfer expedition), are depicted as sober natural
scientists. Heinrich Himmler’ esoteric ambitions in Tibet were minimal, indeed “probably did not
exist” (Brauen, 2000). Hitler himself appears as a decided anti-occultist. “However, the suggestion
that Hitler was interested in Eastern esotericism or even Tibet can be ruled out” (Brauen, 2000, p. 65).
With an appeal to the historian Goodrick-Clark, the pro-Lamaist authors also assess the occult
currents within the early Nazi movement (the notorious Thule Society for example) as insignificant,
