Albert Brackmann
Favoured by leading Nazis , including Adolf Hitler himself , Brackmann steadily turned the "Ostforschung" away from detached academic work towards projects that fed directly into the wider foreign policy and expansionist aims being pursued by the Nazi government . In September 1939 , he congratulated himself on heading a research organisation that had become the central agency "for scholarly advice for the Foreign , Interior and Propaganda ministries , the army high command and a number of SS departments . " He was also an author for the Ahnenerbe , a research body set up under the auspices of Heinrich Himmler , publishing a booklet entitled "Crisis and Construction in Eastern Europe" that questioned the historical validity of Poland as a nation by arguing that "Mitteleuropa" ( Central Europe ) was the original "Lebensraum" of the German nation .
