the Qlippoth, walking shells of the Dead

Something to think about regarding "why they are there":  Kabbalah is one 
of the most fully developed mystical traditions, and it is Jewish; what 
would that mean to spiritualist Nazis?  What would the Qlippoth, 
specifically, mean to Nazis?  I know that antisemitic tradition uses 
Kabbalah to accuse Jews of sorcery and of conspiracy (our word "cabal," 
of course).  And I assume the likes of Himmler learned a good deal about 
Kabbalah, but I have no idea what they made of it.
