The comics Hellboy and Captain America, and the Indiana Jones films all depict the Nazis meddling in the Occult and other paranormal activities. Historically, how accurate is it that Nazis were involved in such things? What inspired the fantasy media to depict the Nazis in this Nature?

Not to discourage further discussion, but there are a couple FAQs on the topic of Nazis and the occult.

I am curious about the second part of your question on the inspiration of these stories, so hopefully someone can provide some info on that.
