The Ahenenerbe is a faction featured within Call of Duty: WWII Zombies. They are a Nazi project dedicated to researching the archaeological and cultural history of the Aryan race.

History

Sometime during the early stages of World War II, miners at the town of Mittelburg in the Kyffhäuser Mountains discovered the hilt of the legendary sword that once belonged to the holy Emperor Frederick Barbarossa. Klaus Fischer, an aspiring scientist and researcher, used his connections in the Nazi party to contact the Ahenenerbe to the town of Mittelburg. Not long after, the Ahnenerbe arrived with the goal of obtaining the hilt and delivering it to Hitler's personal collection of artifacts.

When the Ahnenerbe was unable to remove the hilt from its resting place, they requested Doctor Peter Straub and his men's division, along with Heinz Richter, to come to the town to investigate, discovering the hilt is protected by a magnetic force. Upon arriving, Straub immediately had the Ahnenerbe put the town on lockdown.

Despite the hilt being protected by the magnetic force, Straub found a way to siphon a strange new energy from the hilt. During one of his early experiments, a cable drawing energy became overheated and snapped, striking two of Straub's Ahnenerbe guards and instantly killing them. However, the soldiers began to twitch violently twitch before getting up and stumbled towards Straub with the intentions of killing him. However, more Ahnenerbe guards arrived and put down the zombies. It was here that Straub soon realized the key to his research.

Dubbing this newfound energy "Geistkraft", Straub explained in one of his video recordings that the Geistkraft energy can be conducted through the human nervous system, activating the most primitive parts of the human cerebellum. This energy is what 'preserves' the undead, as well as drive them. Straub also discovers that by triggering the pain receptors of the corpses with the energy, he can augment the zombie's strength and speed. With this, he would be able to create an undead army, an army capable of tearing through the mightiest of steel and knock fortresses into nothing but dust. With this, he began to conduct experiments on villagers of the town, and possibly even some of his own men to begin to create his army.

Despite this however, the Nazis were still unable to obtain the hilt. This would be one of the starting points between the conflict between Straub and Richter, with the latter wanting to use the Geistkraft energy to create weaponry, one of which was the Tesla Gun and its variants. As the conflict between the two began to worsen, Klaus soon realized Straub's true motives and intentions.
