Interesting study of the myth impulse behind the Third Reich

This book belongs alongside the incredible British television broadcast, THE OCCULT HISTORY OF THE THIRD REICH. It shows the theosophical roots of Nazi ideas about the superiority of the Aryan Race and explains how a twisted appropriation of Catholic symbols motivated the failed artists (who made up the upper echelon of those manufacturing Nazi mythology) created a potent brew that captivated an entire nation. In a world that today falls easy prey to myth over fact, this book provides a sobering lesson. It is prophetic!

The Nazis and the Occult

Beautiful book, full of interesting historical pictures. A good look at the driving forces behind the German war machine.

A Good book

I found this book as a quite deep, non-ordinary approach to understanding the psyche of the first half of last century Germany and its leaders. Even mere facts collected in this book could lead to insights into 'Zeitgeist', or the spirit of that time. The value of this book is not only in its clear, logical and metaphysical analysis of the origins of distorted development of one of the greatest nations and its particular individuals, but also in implying that any society might be susceptible to the influences, or forces acted in Nazi Germany. It is easy to criticize this book - much more difficult to write one. I would recommend to the above viewers first to learn how to write even a short text without multiple errors and typos, not mentioning how to put words together for clear understanding.
