Synopsis
Evidences have suggested that Nazism was not just a political movement but an occult religion with Hitler as the Messiah. This is a documentary about how the Hitler and the Nazis made use of occultism to win the war, and to remind the Germans that they were the best humans on the planet, the master-race.

Review, from Carol A. Nash (So. Fla., U.S.A.), Amazon.com
We all know the usual war stories, but this "behind the scenes" look informs us of what drives madman such as Hilter and his elite SS. A must have for anyone who believes that past history is important to the future. The movie was well done and actual footage is not as grainy as most history movies. This movie showed on the Military and Discovery channel, but was unavailable from their website. A very chilling and accurate account of Hilter's rise to power and subsequent decisions made during the war that were based on occult, mystic beliefs and astrology. It also shows the influence and power that Hilter's top military cronies had on Hilter. I highly recommend this movie.
