Ah -- I was looking for this book on Amazon and it took a while to find.
Himmlers Crusade: The Nazi Expedition to Find the Origins of the Aryan Race
"http://www.amazon.com/Himmlers-Crusade-Expedition-Origins-Aryan/dp/0471262927/ref=sr_1_5?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1388402028&sr=1-5&keywords=aryan"
It was an SS mission led by two complex individuals–one who was using the Nazis to pursue his own ends, and one so committed to Nazism that afterward he conducted racial experiments using the skulls of prisoners at Auschwitz. Himmler's Crusade relates the 1938 Nazi expedition through British India to the sacred mountains of Tibet in search of the remnants of the Aryan people, the lost master race. Based on a wide range of previously unused sources, this intriguing book reveals the mission–a pet project of Reichsfuhrer Heinrich Himmler—to be the result of both a bizarre historical fantasy and a strategy to provoke insurgency in British India. Providing rare glimpses into Himmler's SS stronghold, this riveting tale sheds new light on the occult component of the racial theories that obsessed Himmler and his fellow Nazis.
Transcultural Encounters between Germany and India: Kindred Spirits in the 19th and 20th Centuries
http://www.amazon.com/Transcultural-Enco...ords=aryan
"The book first examines the ways in which nineteenth-century "Indomania" figured in the creation of both German national identity and modern German scholarship on the Orient, and it illustrates how German encounters with India in the Imperial era alternately destabilized and reinforced the orientalist, capitalist, and nationalist underpinnings of German modernity. Contributors discuss the full range of German responses to India, and South Asian perceptions of Germany against the backdrop of war and socio-political revolution, as well as the Third Reich's ambivalent perceptions of India in the context of racism, religion, and occultism. The book concludes by exploring German--Indian relations in the era of decolonization and the Cold War."
