Nazism and the Occult [Partial Patreon Preview]
Description
From Indiana Jones, to Captain America to Hellboy, the theme of Nazis and the Occult has long fascinated Hollywood. But is there any truth behind these fictional representations? This partial Patreon preview explores the bizarre world of late 19th/early 20th century occultism, elucidating its tangential links to the birth and development of the Nazi Party. As we'll see, Hitler was not "nuts" about the occult. But some prominent Nazis such as Rudolf Hess and Heinrich Himmler were at least occult "curious," and the occultist Thule Society did play a key role in the early development of the Nazi Party.
To hear the full story, which includes discussions of Mme. Blavatsky and Theosophy, Guido von List, Lanz von Liebenfels, Rudolf von Sebettendorff and the Thule Society, check out our Patreon site where you can get access to this and other episodes for as little as $2/month (patreon.com/historyoffthepage).
