Looked up 800 A.D. That was the year Charlemagne was crowned ruler of the Holy Roman Empire. It was also the first year that the Gregorian calendar replaced the Julian calendar in western Europe. Wonder why those events got the Nazis so all riled up? They were going all Nordic for Norse mythology & runes & Gothic stuff, but a calendar...?

The Holy Roman Empire is the First Reich, so it makes sense the Nazi's would use it as starting date.

“The National Reich Church is determined to exterminate irrevocably and by every means the strange and foreign Christian faiths imported into Germany in the ill-omened year 800.”

Yes, the HRE was the First Reich, & the German Empire was the Second Reich. But notice Rosenberg’s hostility to anything Christian. Wonder what he thought about Islam? Ol’ Adolf kinda liked it.
