The Occult History of the Third Reich: The murderous deeds of Hitler's Third Reich are still widely recalled today, but what is less well known is the strange concoction of beliefs that underpinned the Nazi regime. Adolf Hitler was enamored with Germanic mythology and ancient legends, and these were combined with cutting-edge theories of genetic science. With this new philosophy, Hitler established the Germans as the Master Race. The Nazis created a new belief system of arcane rituals and potent symbols such as the swastika. Hitler evolved an entirely new faith, complete with holy book, venerated relics and priestly elite in the form of Himmler's SS. Hitler himself was viewed as the ultimate leader in Messianic terms. This powerful and disturbing series uses rare original footage to tell a story that is as bizarre as it is horrific, and casts a new light on a national movement that came to see evil as a sacred task.
