Description
Why did the country which produced Goethe, Beethoven, Bach, Schiller, Einstein, Kant and Hegel allow itself to be led to the precipice of self-destruction by a ragged collective of criminals, misfits, sadists and petty bureaucrats? Featuring many rare archive photographs, The Nazis and the Occult reveals the true nature of the Third Reich's link with arcane influences and of evil itself, as well as explaining how an ill-educated, psychologically unbalanced nonentity succeeded in mesmerizing an entire nation. Forget what you have read, seen and heard. This is the real secret history of Nazi Germany and its dark Messiah - Adolf Hitler.

This book looks at how Germanic myth, White and Black Magic, and occultism shaped the evilness of the Third Reich. It does this by examining views of Germanic mythology and the involvement in Magic and Occultism of key individuals such as Hitler and Göring. Information in this book is hard to find

anywhere else. The book does ramble but because each section (usually one paragraph to one page) stands alone it does not detract from the book. Show Less

Roland attempts to explain how Hitler and his gang came to control Germany and its people to the extent that they could lead them to commit so many evil deeds. He looks at to what extent the occult played in this. Hitler it appeared was not a believer in the occult while Goering and Himmler did
Interesting account of how so much evil could be perpetrated by leaders who were not particularly smart and definitely had little or no conscience and how they managed to get the majority of Germans to follow them on such a destructive road.
