Movie Reviews of The Occult History of the Third Reich
Movie Review: Detailed And Informative Documentary
Summary: 4 Stars
I ignored some of the poor reviews of this film and purchase it thinking the worst that I could lose is the ten bucks that it cost. I am very glad I purchased this because it contains a wealth of information that tracks the origins of the party and it's reasoning for many of it's actions.
This documentary does an excellent job of linking certain mysticism/occult societies directly to the Nazi party and specifically Himmler and Hitler. Speaking of Himmler, the second part of this four part series specifically covers his actions and his ties to the occult. Himmler is the man dressed in black who is in charge of the SS and usually the one you see walking next to Hitler in public.
As I watched this it became obvious to me that Hitler and his past mentors USED and TWISTED the writings of some of these mystics in order to fit their own opinions and actions. I think this fact should have been stated more clearly in the show.
I also agree to some degree that at times the film was repetitive between segments. But this no way takes away from the film, and this repetition may be necessary given all the information provided. I further think that more than one viewing might be required to understand all the information provided.
I most definitely recommend you purchase this DVD, but it should serve as a jumping off point in your study linking the occult to the Nazis. I would use this very good film as a supplement if your interested in looking further into this area.
Summary of The Occult History of the Third Reich
The murderous deeds of Hitler's Third Reich are still widely recalled today, but what is less well-known is the strange concoction of beliefs that underpinned the Nazi regime.In the early 20th Century, the young Adolf Hitler was just one of many German-speaking people attracted by a new Germanic mythology that combined ancient legends and esoteric cosmologies with cutting-edge theories of genetic science. In the hands of the Nazis, the result was a new ideology that saw racial purity as the key to human destiny.
This was a belief-system of arcane rituals and potent symbols, with the ancient swastika appropriated for the Nazi cause. By the time of the Third Reich, Hitler and the Nazis had evolved an entirely new faith, complete with holy book, venerated relics and a priestly elite in the form of Himmler's SS. It was a religion based on obedience, power, and the cult of the leader, with Hitler himself conceived in Messianic terms.
This powerful and disturbing series uses rare original footage to tell a story that is as bizarre as it is horrific, and which casts new light on a national movement that came to see evil as a sacred task.
