The Occult Roots of Nazi ideology - Hitler's Hidden Library

When American paratroopers in 1945 took possession of the town Berchtesgaden in south Bavaria they made a discovery in an abandoned salt-mine. They found Adolf Hitlers library which was taken from his nearby home in the Alps, the Berghof.

In his possession were many books on topics like runes, Germanic pagan history and the Occult. One book had an exceptional amount of notes, it was a book from Ernst Schertel called Magic.

This episode discusses the link between Nazi ideology and pagan, occult and esoteric theories like the Welt Eislehre, witches and the Thule Island.
