Why did the country which produced Goethe, Beethoven, Bach, Schiller, Einstein, Kant and Hegel allow itself to be led to the precipice of self-destruction by a ragged collective of criminals, misfits, sadists and petty bureaucrats? Roland reveals the full extent of Hitler's obsession with the occult and the Nazis' fascination with symbols of arcane power such as The Ark of the Covenant and the Spear of Destiny. It explains how an ill-educated, psychologically unbalanced nonentity mesmerized an entire nation, why the German people venerated their Fuhrer as a god and how he exercised his power over them so that they would willingly follow him to the abyss of self-destruction.  Chapters include: The Dark Gurus; The Spear of Destiny; Hitler: Medium or Magician? Astrology in the Third Reich; Occult Science; The SS: Myth of the "Black Knights"; The Shadow of the Swastika; Timeline; more. Imported from Britain.
