The Nazis and the Occult: The Third Reich's Search for Supernatural Powers

'No one can deny Paul Roland is a complete master of his subject.' Colin Wilson, author of The Occult and A Criminal History of Mankind This gripping account reveals the occult secrets behind Hitler's evil empire. 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? Paul Roland examines whether Hitler really did fall under the spell of black magicians and how likely it was that he entered the Second World War to honor his pact with Satanic forces. Nazis and the Occult is a masterful expose of the Third Reich's link with arcane influences and of evil itself, from Nazi fascinations with symbols of arcane power such as the Holy Grail and the Spear of Destiny to the Nazis links to the Vril society. Featuring rare archive photography, this is the real secret history of Nazi Germany and its dark Messiah - Adolf Hitler.
