Otto Rahn hunting for the Holy Grail under a Cathar Fortress in Languedoc: note the miniaturised zero-point 'bell'.
Otto Rahn was an 'awakened' (i.e. rune-magician) archaeologist/historian who was a member of the Ahnenerbe SS and an expert on the Holy Grail.
Officially he died of an accident in 1939, but research by Kenneth Hite, published by Osprey, suggests he was active until '45.
He is believed to be part of the inspiration behind the Indiana Jones movie.

The End of Rahn?
After '44, the trail goes cold but Hite speculates that he may have raised something he couldn't put down.
