Description

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.

5 out of 5 stars Strange Rumors Sometimes Turn Out To Be True.......2007-01-19

I experienced this as an absolutely stunning set of DVDs. I did not already know that a huge occult movement was going on in Germany way long before WWII and that Hitler just got picked up by it and added on for effect. Well, I had heard vague rumors along those lines, but this documentary spells it all out in real detail. It "names names" - and even shows the person's picture. The documentary is a huge effort pulled off with great style by people who must have done endless hours of work on it. When a certain speech or historic event is mentioned, there is film. One sad thing about all of this is that poor Madame Blavatsky ended up taking the blame for much of it. The Nazi occultists figured that they were bolstering their claims by attributing them to Blavatsky, which is ridiculous, but they got away with it anyway. Blavatsky died in 1891 and had nothing to do with WWII. What she started was the Theosophical Society, which is (and always was) an extremely peaceful and high-minded organization. In any event, this set of DVDs is an excellent piece of work. The alleged Blavatsky connection is not dwelt on, but the Nazi "prophets" who falsely claimed to be connected with her are. The whole story is laid out showing how over a long period of years occult societies grew, gained power, and eventually got control of the country. The leaders surrounding Hitler were members of the occult societies. Hitler himself had been "discovered" by them and was more or less hired by them. They even sent him to special public speaking classes to get him ready for role he was to play. A stunning story. All presented in detail with facts, names, dates, and so on - and with tons of film that I am surprised to learn is in existence.

4 out of 5 stars Worth $9.95.......2006-09-01

This is much better than the cheeseball packaging would suggest. As other reviewers have noted, it IS all archival footage, but it's stuff I've never seen before, a lot of it is in color, and it comes from high quality prints. Admittedly, the narration and the image don't always match up very well, but there just isn't that much footage of Nazi occultism.

I'm no expert, but I disagree that the content is "not just wrong, but inaccurate." I thought the content was basically the same as in Goodricke-Clark's book. And this movie predates that authoritative work by 5 years, so the filmmakers were doing pretty well.

Predictably, the narrator is English and he does use the word "madman" a lot. Hey, there are admittedly a lot of madmen in this story, but the people who make these WWII docs could still benefit from a Thesaurus.

If there's problem with this series, it is that there just isn't enough information. It isn't until six minutes into the first episode that "the occult" is even referenced, and the third episode -on Himmler- doesn't mention his name for the first twelve minutes.

But this set still exceeded my expectations on all fronts and -at 209 minutes- it was well worth ten bucks.

4 out of 5 stars How to create a Monster!.......2005-12-15

As a documentry this is above average. It is flawed because of the over use of often times unrelated STOCK FOOTAGE. The narrative is very matter of fact, clear and cold. It appears to be well researched. One word of caution is this is one in a mini series of three hour long, I personal feel each is a little weak on thier own.

The documentry narrator has a very neutral tone. While interesting it allows the viewer to project his or her own bias on the subject.
"NO ONE CAN BE COMPLETLY NEUTRAL ON THE SUBJECT OF NAZISM!"

On the the subject itself I found no great errors in history.
One does need to remember that the Nazis created thier own links to history often deeply "warped". Reporting the "warped history"
as such in context of this documentry is not to say the history is "fact"!

On viewing this documentry I did find interesting the strong parrallels between the NAZISM of the past and the Al Qaeda of today.

5 out of 5 stars F Yeah........2005-10-12

This is awesome in that it shows with detail the occult roots of the third reich. Blavatsky, Guido Von Liszt, The footage is rare and extensive appearing..F yeah..It does not make the viewer turn away often, unlike SS the history channel show. I like this, and it is economically priced for a three volume series. The SS, The history and uses of the Swastika by Germany, and Adolf Hitler are covered in the various volumes. "Hitlers SS" is a great thing to buy next though. I never knew that Blavatsky's doctrine was rooted in race, and so widespread. Posters from Third Reich, trivia, I liked this and consider it a must for everyone. You may enjoy the book "Unholy Alliance" by Peter Levenda. God Bless, may the German and Jewish people heal, and this never happen again. Love, Vanes

2 out of 5 stars Too Fast, Too Little...Just Plain Propaganda!.......2005-06-09

The narrator for the film ruined much of it for me, not to mention a discursive storyline that leaves one in bemusement and disgust. Once again, here we have a "religiously" motivated look at history instead of indifferent reporting and plot summarization. The clips showing just how many people in Germany rose in anticipation of a different country, one not bound and choked by Bolshevism, and also one not having to pay ignomious credence to Catholic ideology. The narrator is infuriating as he goes along blaming people from all parts of the geopolitical spectrum (English natural selection, Blavatsky's mysticism, anti-christian traditions) except for the biggest culprits of all: Where is there any talk of the pigs in Rome who backed Musolini? Where was the Church in stopping this dictator? Instead, the author likes to accuse Germany of every misdeed under the sun, then sneaks in cheap-shots against coutries and people who were not at all a factor in the rise of national socialism. The "undermining of truths held sacred for all time" was an arrogant, pompous act of skullduggery; the makers of this movie do a great injustice by not emphasizing how the past (not just WW1, but roman conquests, mongolian invasions from the east, etc.) invasions and mistreatments of Germany aided in fueling the fires of national frustration and national pride. Germany, for all it has done for mankind (inventions gallore, philosophy, art, engineering) would be interpreted after watching this filth as being nothing but a whacked out country of occultish fools. Wrong! The Vatican just never learns: When you try to control and demonize entire nations, it comes back to haunt you. But then again, how many Vatican pontifs and cardinals died for freedom in WW2? Few compared to the many others who perished, and why? Because the Vatican, whom are supposed to be helpers of humanity, decided it best to take a "neutral" stance to fascism! While WW2 should have ended with a peaceful and united Germany, its result was awful for everyone involved. Millions of Russians dead, Italians dead, Americans dead, Germans dead, Jews (many nationalities) dead, Gypsies dead, Hungarians dead, Japanese dead, Poles dead, English dead...but in retrospect, the Vatican never lifted a finger in effort to stop the growth of fascism in Italy, Croatia, Hungary, and elsewhere. The makers of this deceitful film leave all viewers a false impression; placement of guilt at the hands of esoteric, uninvolved figures makes this rank. The Vatican is so terrified of Skull & Bones, The Templars, and any other secret society formed to end Catholic oppression! Does the narrator ever tell you that? Indirectly, but only when depicting "Templars" as evil and Catholic figures as absolute good. Ha! The epitome of bad WW2 coverage comes interstingly enough at the very end of the "Swastika" volume: painting the Templars as a Teutonic order set out to dominate the world as some twisted backdrop supposed to tie in with our future, today. Last Words: northern Europe endured heavy prices (economically and in human lives) and freedom-stealing orders via Rome for far too long, and hence were formed groups whom enlarged to "orders" whose explicit purpose and goal was to stop Catholic thugs. The Vatican has been knocking-at-the-knees ever since Bush Sr. began speaking openly of "New World Order" -something the Vatican sees as and knows is a challenge to its lies and corrupt dealings with north Europe - a part of the world that has issues and scientific endeavors far more vital to its happiness and health than Vatican make-believe.

This DVD contains a small biography of Hitler's adolescent to adult life, his army service and his place in the Nazi ideology as a Messiah for the Germanic Occult belief of the Strong Von Oben (Strong One From Above). It also contains info on some of the atrocities Hitler's Chancellory ordered and kept secret. For the price its worth it.

4 out of 5 stars Interesting Indeed.......2003-07-24

This dvd was very interesting in explaining the eastern roots and western uses of the Schwastika, the Sieg, and other esoteric symbols. Walking into a Presbyterian Church close to my home I was VERY surprised to see on the left wall hanging a banner with a cross and there was a schwastika on a cloth banner above the cross, but it was crossed out. I was surprised to learn that the Schwastika was used all over the world before Hitler adopted the eastern Buddhist symbol of good luck and of creation and turned it into a symbol of hate. Its cheap and very informative.

3 out of 5 stars Interesting, and a great price.......2001-04-11

What a strange three volume set. All you ever wanted to know about Nazi ideology in three hour long episodes. The documentary is reasonably non-judgemental (although the fact that they gassed 6 million jews is not glossed over), rather it is a look back in history to try and find reasons for the Hitler's "different" perspective on Germans, Jews and the whole of world history. There is a large amount of documentary footage which I hadn't seen before, and I've seen a fair amount of footage from the inter war years.

And even if you you hate the thing, ...Can't argue about the price, at least.

As a documentry this is above average. It is flawed because of the over use of often times unrelated STOCK FOOTAGE. The narrative is very matter of fact, clear and cold. It appears to be well researched. One word of caution is this is one in a mini series of three hour long, I personal feel each is a little weak on thier own.

The documentry narrator has a very neutral tone. While interesting it allows the viewer to project his or her own bias on the subject.
"NO ONE CAN BE COMPLETLY NEUTRAL ON THE SUBJECT OF NAZISM!"

On the the subject itself I found no great errors in history.
One does need to remember that the Nazis created thier own links to history often deeply "warped". Reporting the "warped history"
as such in context of this documentry is not to say the history is "fact"!

On viewing this documentry I did find interesting the strong parrallels between the NAZISM of the past and the Al Qaeda of today.

5 out of 5 stars F Yeah........2005-10-12

This is awesome in that it shows with detail the occult roots of the third reich. Blavatsky, Guido Von Liszt, The footage is rare and extensive appearing..F yeah..It does not make the viewer turn away often, unlike SS the history channel show. I like this, and it is economically priced for a three volume series. The SS, The history and uses of the Swastika by Germany, and Adolf Hitler are covered in the various volumes. "Hitlers SS" is a great thing to buy next though. I never knew that Blavatsky's doctrine was rooted in race, and so widespread. Posters from Third Reich, trivia, I liked this and consider it a must for everyone. You may enjoy the book "Unholy Alliance" by Peter Levenda. God Bless, may the German and Jewish people heal, and this never happen again. Love, Vanes

2 out of 5 stars Too Fast, Too Little...Just Plain Propaganda!.......2005-06-09

The narrator for the film ruined much of it for me, not to mention a discursive storyline that leaves one in bemusement and disgust. Once again, here we have a "religiously" motivated look at history instead of indifferent reporting and plot summarization. The clips showing just how many people in Germany rose in anticipation of a different country, one not bound and choked by Bolshevism, and also one not having to pay ignomious credence to Catholic ideology. The narrator is infuriating as he goes along blaming people from all parts of the geopolitical spectrum (English natural selection, Blavatsky's mysticism, anti-christian traditions) except for the biggest culprits of all: Where is there any talk of the pigs in Rome who backed Musolini? Where was the Church in stopping this dictator? Instead, the author likes to accuse Germany of every misdeed under the sun, then sneaks in cheap-shots against coutries and people who were not at all a factor in the rise of national socialism. The "undermining of truths held sacred for all time" was an arrogant, pompous act of skullduggery; the makers of this movie do a great injustice by not emphasizing how the past (not just WW1, but roman conquests, mongolian invasions from the east, etc.) invasions and mistreatments of Germany aided in fueling the fires of national frustration and national pride. Germany, for all it has done for mankind (inventions gallore, philosophy, art, engineering) would be interpreted after watching this filth as being nothing but a whacked out country of occultish fools. Wrong! The Vatican just never learns: When you try to control and demonize entire nations, it comes back to haunt you. But then again, how many Vatican pontifs and cardinals died for freedom in WW2? Few compared to the many others who perished, and why? Because the Vatican, whom are supposed to be helpers of humanity, decided it best to take a "neutral" stance to fascism! While WW2 should have ended with a peaceful and united Germany, its result was awful for everyone involved. Millions of Russians dead, Italians dead, Americans dead, Germans dead, Jews (many nationalities) dead, Gypsies dead, Hungarians dead, Japanese dead, Poles dead, English dead...but in retrospect, the Vatican never lifted a finger in effort to stop the growth of fascism in Italy, Croatia, Hungary, and elsewhere. The makers of this deceitful film leave all viewers a false impression; placement of guilt at the hands of esoteric, uninvolved figures makes this rank. The Vatican is so terrified of Skull & Bones, The Templars, and any other secret society formed to end Catholic oppression! Does the narrator ever tell you that? Indirectly, but only when depicting "Templars" as evil and Catholic figures as absolute good. Ha! The epitome of bad WW2 coverage comes interstingly enough at the very end of the "Swastika" volume: painting the Templars as a Teutonic order set out to dominate the world as some twisted backdrop supposed to tie in with our future, today. Last Words: northern Europe endured heavy prices (economically and in human lives) and freedom-stealing orders via Rome for far too long, and hence were formed groups whom enlarged to "orders" whose explicit purpose and goal was to stop Catholic thugs. The Vatican has been knocking-at-the-knees ever since Bush Sr. began speaking openly of "New World Order" -something the Vatican sees as and knows is a challenge to its lies and corrupt dealings with north Europe - a part of the world that has issues and scientific endeavors far more vital to its happiness and health than Vatican make-believe.
