Himmler and 10th Century England

I am currently working on a monograph on the modern historiography of Anglo-Saxon charter studies. Several very important articles arguing for the existence of a tenth-century royal writing office were authored by
Dr. Richard Drögereit in the 1930s.

I have found evidence that Professor Albert Brackmann, editor of the series Deutschland und der Osten
wrote letters of recommendation to
Reichsführer-SS Himmler and the SS-Ahnenerbe in hope of Drögereit’s receiving a subvention to continue his manuscript studies of Anglo-Saxon charters at the British Museum.

While I occasionally teach modern German history to undergraduates, my research expertise is in 10th-11th century England and Germany and I am somewhat at a loss as to where I might find any extant correspondence in the files of the RFSS or the Ahnenerbe on Drögereit’s application.

With your unparallelled familiarity with archival materials of the National Socialist period in mind, I hope that you might be able to give me some guidance for this research on possible SS funding of
Drögereit’s research. You have my thanks for your kind attention.
