Professor Percy Ernst Schramm, a distinguished medievalist

Regarding Professor Percy Ernst Schramm, the distinguished German medievalist who was Donald Detwiler's dissertation adviser, Rob Gaudet asks "I wonder if Prof. Schramm, a medievalist working for the German High Command, had anything to do with spinning Hitler's notion that his people were tied to the chivalric traditions of King Arthur.  Was Shramm approached in this capacity...ie to advise the Nazis on medieval history in order to
construct such a history or somehow tie the Aryans to King Arthur and his roundtable?"  RH: Donald Detwiler can answer this.
