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.
