Adolf Hitler and the Occult

Post by TheBreathingTribunal »

It's been frequently said and referenced through time that Adolf Hitler had ties/connections to the occult.Your opinions?

Hitler had minor connections to the occult, in part because it was simply fashionable for people of power to have occult interests back then. Loooooooots of famous people from that time period had occult connections, most especially in Europe.

But as for the Nazis in particular, Himmler was a much bigger player in the occult than Hitler. It was Himmler that turned the SS into an occult order, Himmler's idea to kill all the Jews, Himmler who searched for the Holy Grail, and it was Himmler who founded the Ahnenerbe. If you want to know about Nazi Occultism during WW2, start doing research on Heinrich Himmler. He's not the only one, of course. But studying his side of things will introduce you to a lot of other names and projects.

Thank you! I will look into that!
