Alleged Nazi Occult Influence on the Second World War: A Historical Analysis cuts through the post-war mythology and conspiracy theories to reveal the actual, limited role of occult and esoteric beliefs in Nazi Germany.

This report meticulously analyzes the historical evidence, providing a critical distinction between documented facts and sensationalized fiction. It examines:

• The Völkisch Movement: How early German nationalism and racial mysticism provided a cultural substrate for Nazism.
• The Thule Society: Separating the reality of this early right-wing political group from its exaggerated depiction as the occult puppet master of the Third Reich.
• The Ahnenerbe: The SS organization established by Heinrich Himmler that functioned as a pseudo-academic institution to manufacture historical and scientific legitimacy for Nazi racial ideology, rather than a genuine occult society.
• Heinrich Himmler's Esoteric Interests: Examining the personal, mystical beliefs of the SS Chief and how they were intertwined with, and subordinate to, the regime's core political objectives.

Discover why mainstream historical scholarship views occultism as peripheral to the regime's core drivers-pseudo-scientific racism, extreme nationalism, and geopolitical ambition. This analysis ultimately redirects the focus to the true mechanisms of Nazi power and the uncomfortable historical truths of human choices and widespread complicity that led to the atrocities of World War II.
