Answer 4

Hitler harnessed the burgeoning proto-nationalist literature of "Volkskunde" to advance the notion of a German nation united by a particular history and way of life.  Volkskunde, a sister discipline to anthropology, concerned itself with folklore and folk living.  It likes to record and celebrate ways of life considered quaint from the perspective of the metropole.  In this effort, Volkskunde developed tools for ethnography very comparable to anthropology, and in some ways it considered theoretical concerns which anthropology did not until much later.  Most significantly, after the fall of the Third Reich, the discipline of Volkskunde in Germany turned to an examination of the politics of their writing in ways that American anthropology did not until the 1980s.  Hitler did not contribute to anthropology in any positive sense, but he did fuel Volkskunde, which in turn advanced in useful anthropological directions in reaction against the uses to which Hitler put it.
