HITLERS MONSTERS - ERIC KURLANDER KARTONIERT (TB)

The definitive history of the supernatural in Nazi Germany  exploring the occult ideas 
esoteric sciences  and pagan religions touted by the Third Reich in the service of power The
Nazi fascination with the occult is legendary  yet today it is often dismissed as Himmler's
personal obsession or wildly overstated for its novelty. Preposterous though it was  however 
supernatural thinking was inextricable from the Nazi project. The regime enlisted astrology and
the paranormal  paganism  Indo-Aryan mythology  witchcraft  miracle weapons  and the lost
kingdom of Atlantis in reimagining German politics and society and recasting German science and
religion. In this eye-opening history  Eric Kurlander reveals how the Third Reich's
relationship to the supernatural was far from straightforward. Even as popular occultism and
superstition were intermittently rooted out  suppressed  and outlawed  the Nazis drew upon a
wide variety of occult practices and esoteric sciences to gain power  shape propaganda and
policy  and pursue their dreams of racial utopia and empire.
