This book starts out well, with lots of interesting facts and discussion on the origins of the Aryans, propaganda, archaeology etc. It loses its way around three quarters of the way through during the discussion of UFOs and alien abduction, but then comes back on point towards the conclusion. I did find this interesting. In no way was it sensational, the author tried for skeptical objectivity, and there is a significant amount of referencing. I would recommend this as a good overview, with the exception of the section on UFOs, which could have dropped a lot of non relevant material.

Excellent Book. If you like the esoteric this book is for you, if you are a Hitler Fan like me this book is for you. If you like well researched and cited works this book is for you. Gets a little suggestive towards the later chapters but nothing to obscure, that we do not already consider.
ENJOY.
ENJOY.

This is a good book that provides an overview of the societal context and beliefs, seldom explored by orthodox historians, that contributed to the rise of Nazism.
The author occasionally misspells Portuguese words when discussing events in Brazil. While these errors do not hinder comprehension, I think they should still be revised.

This was an extraordinary book that I happened to stumble upon in my local library, and I found it a compelling, thoroughly curious insight to the darker realms of Nazi occult lore. With interesting theories detailing the Hollow Earth mythology, UFOs and the 'world ice' legends, this is certainly a disturbing but nonetheless fascinating book.

A compelling read, and incredibly well-written. However, the last couple of chapters are concerned with stories simply too bizarre, which spoils the book a lot. For the history up to the end of WWII, I simply couldn't recommend it enough, I was literally unable to put it down.

History of various weird aspects of Nazi occultism, from their belief in the Aryan super race, to the Spear of Destiny, to the Hollow Earth theory.

Excellent analysis of a topic that could run into fringe areas

Useful for generating mad ideas grounded on some real world 'truth' for my RPGs.
Beyond that, I found it poorly written and not especially engaging.
