In A Brief History of Montmaray, Nazis land on the island, supposedly in search of the Holy Grail. This fantastic hunt was inspired by real events in history. S.S. Leader Heinrich Himmler believed, like Hitler, that Jesus was not descended from Jews, but rather descended from the pure, Aryan race. 24 archaeologists were sent around the world to find the Holy Grail and other artefacts in the name of Nazi Germany. This hunt was also referenced in Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade. The Nazis also funded searches for the mythical kingdom of Atlantis and the lost city of Shangri-La. Herr Rahn's search for the Grail on Montmaray makes sense, as in real life, Nazis searched for the Grail in nearby Spain. The Holy Grail, to the Nazis, was a symbol of ultimate power, not a religious icon to be revered and respected.
