Quotes about Hertel
[edit]- If one compares the fate and acceptance of Johannes Hertel's "Aryan research" with what was said above about Zimmer and Schroeder, one can hardly find a better illustration of the complicated situation that an Indologist who was interested in Aryan antiquity could get into with the gradual institutionalization of the National Socialist idea and the seizure of political power by the NSDAP. While Heinrich Zimmer's scientific work is still highly valued today and Leopold von Schroeder is also respected as a Veda researcher, the judgment on Johannes Hertel with regard to his "Aryan research" is, to put it mildly, somewhat uncertain.
