This enormously influential book has provided the first serious account of these ideological origins.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book demonstrates the way in which Nazism was influenced by powerful occult and millenarian sects that thrived in Germany and Austria at the turn of the century. These sects (principally the Ariosophists) promoted doctrines of popular nationalism, ''Aryan'' racism and occultism to support their advocacy of German world-rule.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTheir ideas and symbols filtered through to nationalist-racist groups associated with the infant Nazi party, and in time exerted a strong influence on Himmler''s SS. Their fantasies were played out with terrifying consequences in the Third Reich: Auschwitz, Sobibor and Treblinka are the hellish museums of the Nazi apocalypse, the roots of which lay in the millennial visions of occult sects. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis bizarre and fascinating story contains lessons we cannot afford to ignore.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57307506442622,"sku":"NW9781838601850","price":15.28,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9781838601850.jpg?v=1778702860","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/products\/occult-roots-of-nazism","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
