1938年—1939年德国远征西藏

1938年4月—1939年8月，一支德国远征队在西藏进行探险。此次远征由德国动物学家、党卫队军官恩斯特·舍费尔率领，并得到了党卫军领袖海因里希·希姆莱的赞助和党卫军附属组织祖先遗产学会的支持^[1]。这是德国首支正式深入西藏并到达拉萨的远征队^[2]^[3]。

除舍费尔外，远征队成员还包括埃德蒙·格尔（Edmund Geer；技术人员）、恩斯特·克勞澤（昆虫学家、摄影师）、卡尔·维纳特（德语：Karl Wienert）（地质学家）和布鲁诺·贝格尔（英语：Bruno Beger）（种族学家）^[4]^[5]。

探险队到达英属印度与锡金后，于1938年10月越过藏印边境，1939年1月19日抵达拉萨，并在那里停留了两个月。他们在拉萨郊外受到了國民政府蒙藏委員會咨议張威白的迎接^[6]^[7]。队员们与西藏精英人士建立了良好的关系，其中包括摄政热振·图旦绛白益西丹巴坚赞^[8]。他们收集了大量的植物和动物，并进行了地磁测量以及民族学和人类学观察。

由于納粹德國的地缘战略和种族主义目标，此次探险的真正科学意义存在争议。
