CONCISE AND USEFUL,
By
This review is from: The Nazis and the Occult. (Hardcover)
This is a concise and useful survey of a topic which is too often ignored or discounted by those who believe that only strictly material forces control history. The research is consistent with other works. If you want a good introduction to a convoluted and strange topic this is it.

Too Many Subjects Covered,
This review is from: The Nazis and the Occult (Hardcover)
Although I thoroughly enjoyed this publication, I found in somewhat lacking in focus. Sklar would skip from the Teutonic Knights to Atlantis in one breath. The most interesting aspect of this publication was the psychology behind training of S.S. Troops. Provocative and intense, it is a classic example of brainnwashing. I was a little disappointed because it never mentioned Hitler's quest for the spear or other relics. Perhaps these are recent discoveries? The author did a brilliant job in detailing the history of the German occult movement, overlaping memberships in mystical societies, and political alliances. I'm glad I read it but still thirst for more knowledge. Any title recommendations by other readers would be appreciated.

Evil,
By Brian (Tacoma, WA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Nazis and the Occult. (Hardcover)
The author catalogues a lot of outrageous behaviors and beliefs in this book, but to at least a minimal degree hints there may have been some method to this madness. Any examination of the Third Reich is bound to eventually raise the question of how so many mainstream (read: non-psychopathic) people could be brought to accept and/or purpetrate acts of brazen barbarism. Part of the answer is these minions were initiated into a semireligious cult which glorifies death, power, and unrestrained use of force. It's not that (most) Nazis necessarily believed in black magic, but this use of the occult served their political purposes. Imagine the mind of an adolescent in Germany of the late 1930's... the old political, economic, and *religious* systems have brought the nation to the depths of the a hyperinflative depression. The new leader comes along with a new political, economic, and religious (occult) system. It is all part of the conditioning.
Ms. Sklar doesn't press very far into this, but exploiting occultism to political purposes is not unique to the Third Reich of seventy years ago. Modern day psychopaths in our own government have similarly appropriated occult ritual as a conditioning, initiating, and indoctrinating tool, as John W. Decamp touches on in The Franklin Cover-Up: Child Abuse Satanism and Murder in Nebraska, and Alex Jones explores in his documentary Dark Secrets and The Order of Death: Inside Bohemian Grove
