>Invented by the Austrian scientist and philosopher Hanns Hörbiger, World Ice Theory (Welteislehre or WEL) was inspired by a dream in which Hörbiger found himself floating in space, observing a giant pendulum swinging back and forth, growing ever longer and eventually breaking. When he woke Hörbiger claimed to know intuitively that the sun’s gravitational pull ceased to exert any force at three times the distance of Neptune and that most of the physical universe could be explained through the interplay of the “antagonistic Ur-substances of ice and fire.”
>Hörbiger enlisted the amateur astronomer Philip Fauth, with whom he collaborated in publishing their “findings,” Glacial Cosmogony, in 1912.Their work posited that much of the known universe was created when a small, water-filled star collided with a much larger star, causing an explosion, the frozen fragments of which created multiple solar systems, including our own. Gravity, the rotation of the planets, and various other interstellar phenomena could all be explained through interactions between primordial satellites made of ice. So too could Earth’s geological history, as moons made of ice crashed into it in prehistoric times. Even human and animal biology were explained by World Ice Theory, including the creation of the human race through the impact of a meteor containing “divine sperma.”
>World Ice Theory was the only border science that Hitler embraced wholly and with conviction. He read the fanciful books authored by the proponents of World Ice Theory and appeared to believe its predictive qualities when it came to geological and meteorological phenomena. Hitler talked of erecting a great observatory in his hometown of Linz, Austria, representing “the three great cosmological conceptions of history—those of Ptolemy, Copernicus, and Hörbiger.” Hitler is even supposed to have suggested that World Ice Theory might eventually replace Christianity.
Why were nazis so stupid?

It's like Trump. When you convince yourself that all the smartest people in the world who hate you are just jealous liars it's easy to latch on to fringe conspiracy bullshit because it elevates you and makes it seem like you have secret knowledge that the 'intellectual elites' either don't have or are trying to suppress. It's all just the sad self-deception of idiots who are playing at being pseudo-intellectual.

The Nazis weren't exceptionally dumb, this kind of mythicist mumbo-jumbo was quite common during the 19th and early 20th centuries, as a reaction to Modernism and it's "cult of science". Nazism, as the ultimate reactionary ideology, almost inevitably swept up all kinds of nonsense from anti-Modernist """thinkers""" like the theosophists and the Thuleans.
