‘NAZIS AND THE OCCULT’
Delve into the shadowy and often disturbing connection between the Nazi regime and various occult beliefs. This presentation explores the esoteric influences that captivated key figures within the Third Reich, from Himmler’s fascination with the Ahnenerbe to Hitler’s interest in astrological predictions and the Thule Society. We’ll examine how these mystical currents intertwined with racial ideology and propaganda, seeking to explain the irrational dimensions of Nazi Germany’s rise and fall. Discover the myths, realities, and lasting impact of this dark chapter in history.Kris Clancy
