THE OCCULT AND

THE
THE THIRD REICH
NAZI NIGHTMARE -
THE LAST BUT
OT THE FINAL ACT
"The Occult and the Third Reich marks a giant step
forward in Hitler scholarship. It is the first work to
demonstrate that the Nazi cosmology was an intricate
synthesis of the . . . occult, nurtured by an ancient
neo-Paganism. . . . The ability of neo-Paganism to
militantly reaffirm itself and contest with Christianity
for men's minds and bodies tells us that the N,1zi
nightmare is only the last, but not the final act in .1
larger human tragedy still being played out. ... Tiu
authors are doubtless right in predicting that ccrt,1h1
practitioners of the black arts will yet play a major role
In determining the shape of a not-too-distant futur<•."
