   Nazi Occultism Explained: Himmler, the SS & the Aryan Myth | Dr. Christopher Simer

   Nazi occultism explained: WWII historian Dr. Christopher Simer reveals how Aryan mythology, eugenics, and the trauma of World War I fueled Heinrich Himmler's SS, from midnight seances and rune mystic Karl Maria Wiligut to the secret crypt at Wewelsburg Castle. What was real, and what was myth? We separate documented history from conspiracy theories, tracing the path from the 1800s occult revival and Helena Blavatsky's "Aryan race" to the Thule Society, Hitler's rise, the SS expedition to Tibet, and the Holocaust. Plus: did Hitler really escape, and what does a polarized 1930s Germany teach us today?
