There is an awful lot of misinformation, exaggeration and plain fantasy in most accounts of the Nazis and their interest in the occult – which was not even remotely as deep or pervasive as many online and published versions of events, much less the Indiana Jones, Captain America and Hellboy movies, would have you believe.

Fortunately our FAQ has a whole section devoted to this topic which will help you to get a better grasp on the Nazis and the occult, and also why there is so much interest in this actually very niche topic, and you can access that here.

For an example of an occult claim that has been spun more or less out of thin air, but then elaborated and, increasingly, believed, you might also like to look at a response I wrote here about Maria Orsic, who was supposedly the Nazis' top intergalactic Aryan medium-cum-UFO designer-cum-beauty queen.
