(1) The Stein Affair - Fact or Fiction?
"During his young adulthood before rising to power, Hitler lived
in Vienna. One of Hitler's friends, during that period was Walter Johannes
Stein. During World War II, Dr. Stein became an advisor to England's Prime
Minister, Sir Winston Churchill." "A number of people who intimately knew Walter Johannes Stein in
the last years of his life state that Stein never met Hitler." "...It was through buying a copy of Eschenbach's Parsival that had
once belonged to Hitler that Dr Stein met him. Dr Stein was impressed by the
meticulousness of the marginal notes, though simultaneously appalled by the
pathological race hatred that they showed. "This was no ordinary commentary but the work of somebody who had
achieved more than a working knowledge of the black arts! The unknown
commentator had found the key to unveiling many of the deepest secrets of the
Grail, yet obviously spurned the Christian ideals of the Knights and delighted
in the devious machinations of the Anti-Christ. It suddenly dawned on him that
he was reading the footnotes of Satan!" "The fictional nature of the whole episode surrounding the
annotated copy of copy of Parzival is suggested by the similarity of Pretzsche's
obscure bookshop to the one described by Sir Edward Bulwer-Lytton in Zanoni
(1842), which probably served Ravenscroft as a literary model." "Among them [the marginal notes] appeared numerous references to
the character Klingsor, whom Hitler apparently identified with the notorious
ninth-century tyrant Landuph II of Capua. "Landulph's avaricious grasping for
power had led him to study the black arts, and it was for these practices that
he was excommunicated in AD 875. But one other fact must have given Hitler a
sense of identity with the ninth-century 'Fuhrer'. Landulph seems to have been
either partly or totally castrated: Eschenbach described him as 'the man who was
smooth between the legs'." According to Ravenscroft, "Hitler took Dr. Stein up the Danube to
visit his mystic teacher, a rustic woodcutter and herbalist named Hans Lodz 'who
retained in his peasant's blood the last traces of the atavistic clairvoyance of
the ancient Germanic tribes' and who 'resembled a mischievous yet malevolent
dwarf from the pages of Grimm's Fairy Tales or an illustration from a book on
ancient Germanic folklore'. The men took a swim in the river at which Dr. Stein
noticed that Hitler had only one testicle." "We can overlook Ravenscroft's mistake of speaking of 'Wachau' as
a place and not of the region which really it is. But the details do not fit:
the snow melting in May, the steamer running in spite of the floods, bathing in
the river - it makes no sense. Certainly wrong is the statement that Hitler had
only one testicle...all this has been completely refuted by [Werner] Maser." "...When Russian military surgeons examined Hitler's charred
remains in the Berlin bunker in May 1945, they discovered that Hitler was indeed
monorchid; he possessed but one testicle." "One of his [Hitler's] most influential mentors was a Viennese
bookstore owner named Ernst Pretzsche. Pretzsche was described by Dr. Stein as a
malevolent-looking man with a somewhat toad-like appearance. Pretzsche was a
devotee of the Germanic mysticism that was preaching the coming of an Aryan
super race. Hitler frequented Pretzsches store and pawned books there when he
needed money. During those visits, Pretzsche indoctrinated Hitler in Germanic
mysticism and successfully encouraged Hitler to use the hallucinogenic drug
peyote as a tool for achieving mystical enlightenment. "It was Lodz, Dr.Stein learned, who had prepared for Hitler a
peyote concoction that afforded him psychedelic insight into his past lives. The
peyote itself had come from Pretzche, who had lived for a time in the German
colony in Mexico. Hitler had hoped that his former existences, viewed in his
drug trance, would include an early incarnation as a powerful Teutonic ruler,
but it was not to be. "Instead his psychedelic perception revealed von
Eschenbach's Parzival to have been prophetic of events that would take place a
thousand years after it was written, i.e. in the present. And it showed Hitler
to have been the historical personage behind the evil sorcerer Klingsor, the
very spirit of the anti-Christ and the villain of Parzival."
"Ravenscroft's second mistake was to name the Viennese bookseller
who introduced Hitler to drugs. 'No better name occurred to him than Pretsche,
popular among English writers of fiction for German malefactors', Lindenberg [in
the German journal Die Drie] writes scornfully before revealing that extensive
checks of Vienna city and business directories and police records for the years
1892 through 1920 were negative for the name in question." (2) Hitler's Pathology
"Their [the Freemasons] hierarchical organization and the
initiation through symbolic rites, that is to say without bothering the brains
but by working on the imagination through magic and the symbols of a cult - all
this is the dangerous element and the element I have taken over. Don't you see
that our party must be of this character?...An Order, that is what it has to be
- an Order, the hierarchical Order of a secular priesthood." "According to [August] Kubizek [one of Hitler's few friends from
the early years], Hitler spent a great deal of time studying oriental mysticism,
astrology, hypnotism, Germanic mythology and other aspects of occultism. By 1909
he had made contact with Dr. Jorg Lanz von Liebenfels, a former Cistercian monk
who, two years previously, had opened a temple of the 'Order of the New
Templars' at the tumble-down Werfenstein Castle on the banks of the Danube. "Von
Leibenfels had assumed his aristocratic sounding name: he was born plain Adolf
Lanz and came of solid bourgeois stock. His following was small but wealthy. A
disciple of Guido von List [who adopted the swastika as the emblem of the
neo-pagan movement in Germany in the late 19th century] he flew a swastika flag
from his battlements, performed ritual magic and ran a magazine entitled Ostara,
a propaganda journal of occultism and race mysticism, to which the young Hitler
became an avid subscriber." "Hitler is one of our pupils...you will one day experience that
he, and through him we, will one day be victorious and develop a movement that
will make the world tremble." During World War I "about two months after winning the Iron Cross,
Hitler was blinded by mustard gas during a battle. He was taken to the Pasewalk
military hospital in northern Germany where he was mistakenly diagnosed as
suffering from 'psychopathic hysteria'. (The symptoms were probably caused by
the mustard gas.) Hitler was consequently placed under the care of a
psychiatrist, Dr. Edmund Forster. What exactly was done to Hitler while under
Dr. Forster's care is uncertain because years later, in 1933...the Gestapo
rounded up all psychiatric records related to Hitler's treatment and destroyed
them. Dr. Forster 'committed suicide' in that same year.
"The mystery of what was done to Hitler at Pasewalk is deepened by
Hitler's own statements. According to Hitler, he had experience a 'vision' from
'another world' while at the hospital. In that vision, Hitler was told that he
would need to restore his sight so that he could lead Germany back to glory.
Hitler's latent anti-Semitism, which had already been planted by his mystical
readings in Vienna, emerged at Pasewalk."
"In a shrewd piece of detective work published in the journal,
History of Childhood Quarterly, psychohistorian Dr. Rudolph Binion suggests that
Hitler's visions may have been deliberately induced by the psychiatrist, Edmund
Forster, as a means of helping Hitler recover from his blindness....Dr. Binion
cites a book completed in 1939 entitled, Der Augenzeuge ('The Eyewitness'),
written by a Jewish doctor named Ernst Weiss who had fled Germany in 1933. "It
is a thinly fictionalized account of Hitler's "miracle cure". "Being labeled as such (suffering from 'psychopathic hysteria)
would most certainly have resulted in Hitler being subjected to psychiatric
treatment for that condition, according to Professor Ernst-Gunter Schenck.
"Other records show that Hitler's personal physician from
1936-1945, Theodore Morell, was prescribing and personally injecting Hitler with
psychiatric drugs. The drugs, to which he was addicted, produced a sense of
euphoria, for which Hitler expressed his extreme gratitude to Morell.
"Among the drugs he was administered were Eukodal and Pervitin.
Eukodal is a narcotic similar to morphine and codeine, with the known adverse
effects of euphoria and dysphoria. Pervitin is a methamphetamine, known to cause
euphoria, dysphoria, severe social disabilities, personality changes and
psychosis. Both are highly addictive.
"There is considerable controversy regarding precisely when Hitler
became driven to destroy the Jews and dominate the world. There is strong
evidence, however, that the 'hate and pain' which characterized Hitler's
speeches in 1919 and afterward, as well as his fanatical purpose, were not in
evidence prior to his psychiatric treatment." "Hitler's stellar performance in Munich [identifying pro-Communist
soldiers to be shot in 1919] earned him a promotion. He was assigned to the
highly secret Political Department of the Army District Command. Hitler's new
unit was an intelligence operation that engaged in acts of domestic terrorism.
The unit refused to accept Germany's defeat in World War I and so it
assassinated some of the German leaders who had negotiated Germany's surrender.
"A prominent leader of the District Command was captain Ernst
Rohm. Rohm was a professional soldier who served as liaison between the District
Command and the German industrialists who were directly funding the District
Command to help it fight communism. Captain Rohm and many other members of the
District Command were members of a mystical organization known as the 'Thule
Society' [Thulegesellschaft]. The Thule believed in the Aryan super race' and it
preached the coming of a German 'Messiah' who would lead Germany to glory and a
new Aryan civilization. In Spear of Destiny [by Trevor Ravenscroft] we learn
from Dr. Stein that the Thule group was financed by some of the very same
industrialists who supported the District Command. The Thule was also directly
supported by the German High Command." "Briefly, the creed of the Thule society inner circle is as
follows: Thule was a legendary island in the far north, similar to Atlantis,
supposedly the center of a lost, high-level civilization. But not all secrets of
that civilization had been completely wiped out. Those that remained were being
guarded by ancient, highly intelligent beings (similar to the 'Masters' of
Theosophy or the White Brotherhood). The truly initiated could establish contact
with these beings by means of magic-mystical rituals. The 'Masters' or
'Ancients' allegedly would be able to endow the initiated with supernatural
strength and energy. With the help of these energies the goal of the initiated
was to create a race of Supermen of 'Aryan' stock who would exterminate all
'inferior' races." "Many assassinations perpetrated by the District command may have
been inspired by the Thule. According to Dr. Stein, the Thule was a 'Society of
Assassins'. It held secret courts and condemned people to death. It is likely
that many victims murdered by the District Command had been condemned earlier in
the secret courts of the Thule. Many prominent Germans supported this violence
and were documented members of the Thule. For example, the Police President of
Munich, Franz Gurtner, was a reported member of the innermost circle of the
Thule. He later became Minister of Justice of the Third Reich." "...At the end of the 1919...Hitler met Dietrich Eckart. Most
biographers have underestimated the influence that Eckart exerted on Hitler. He
was the wealthy publisher and editor-in-chief of an anti-Semitic journal which
he called In Plain German. Eckart was also a committed occultist and a master of
magic. As an initiate, Eckart belonged to the inner circle of the Thule society
as well as other esoteric orders." "According to Ravenscroft [Spear of Destiny], Eckart, like Hitler,
first achieved transcendence through psychedelic drugs. Research on peyote by
the German pharmacologist Ludwig Lewin had been published in 1886, leading to
widespread popular experimentation. Later a heroin addict, in earlier days
Eckart used peyote in the practice on neopagan magic in Berlin. He came to
believe that he, too was the reincarnation of ninth century character. In his
case it was Bernard of Barcelona, a notorious betrayer of Christianity to the
Arabs and a black magician who used thaumaturgy to hold off Carolingian armies
in Spain." "Ravenscroft writes 'there can be little doubt' that both Crowley and
Eckart conducted deep studies of the Arabian astrological magic performed by
Klingsor's real life counterpart, Landulf II. It was to Sicily-then a Moslem
stronghold-that Landulf fled after his traitorous links to Islam were disclosed.
And it was in a dark tower in the mountains of the southwest corner of that
island that his evil soul festered with additional bitterness over his
castration by the relatives of a noblewoman he had raped. There he practiced
sadistic satanism of a nature that foreshadowed the horrors of Nazi
concentration camps." "There can be no doubt that Eckart - who had been alerted to
Hitler by other Thulists - trained Hitler in techniques of self confidence, self
projection, persuasive oratory, body language and discursive sophistry. With
these tools, in a short period of time he was able to move the obscure workers
party from the club and beer hall atmosphere to a mass movement. The emotion
charged lay speaker became an expert orator, capable of mesmerizing a vast
audience." Hitler dedicated his book Mein Kampf to his teacher Dietrich
Eckart.
(3) The German Vril
"A frequent visitor to Landsberg prison where Hitler was writing
Mein Kampf with the help of Rudolf Hess, was General Karl Haushofer, a
university professor and director of the Munich Institute of Geopolitics.
Haushofer, Hitler, and Hess had long conversations together. Hess also kept
records of these conversations. Hitler's demands for German 'living space' in
the east at the expense of the Slavic nations were based on the geopolitical
theories of the learned professor. Haushofer was also inclined toward the
esoteric. As military attache in Japan, he had studied Zen-Buddhism. He had also
gone through initiations at the hands of Tibetan lamas. He became Hitler's
second 'esoteric mentor', replacing Dietrich Eckart." "Another important mystical organization behind the formation of
Nazism "was the 'Vril' Society, which had been named after a book by Lord
Bulward Litton - an English Rosicrucian. Litton's book told the story of an
Aryan 'super race' coming the Earth." "In Berlin, Haushofer had founded the Luminous Lodge or the Vril
Society. The Lodge's objective was to explore the origins of the Aryan race and
to perform exercises in concentration to awaken the forces of 'Vril'. Haushofer
was a student of the Russian magician and metaphysician Gregor Ivanovich Gurdyev
(George Gurdjieff). Both Gurdjeiff and Haushofer maintained that they had
contacts with secret Tibetan lodges that possessed the secret of the 'Superman'.
The Lodge included Hitler, Aalfred Rosenberg, Himmler, Göring, and Hitler's
subsequent personal physician Dr. Morell. It is also known that Aleister Crowley
and Gurdjieff sought contact with Hitler. Hitler's unusual powers of suggestion
become more understandable if one keeps in mind that he had access to the
'secret' psychological techniques of the esoteric lodges. Haushofer taught him
the techniques of Gurdjieff which, in turn, were based on the teachings of the
Sufis and the Tibetan lamas- and familiarized him with the Zen teaching of the
Japanese Society of the Green Dragon." "One member of the German Vril was Professor Karl Haushofer - a
former employee of German military intelligence. Haushofer had been a mentor to
Hitler as well as to...Rudolph Hess. (Hess had been an assistant to Haushofer at
the University of Munich.) Another Vril member was the second most powerful man
in Nazi Germany: Heinrich Himmler, who became head of the dreaded SS and
Gestapo. Himmler incorporated the Vril Society into the Nazi Occult Bureau. Yet
another mystical group was the Edelweiss Society, which preached the coming of a
'Nordic messiah'....Herman Göring had become an active member of the Edelweiss
Society in 1921 while living and working in Sweden. Göring believed Hitler to be
the Nordic messiah." "The idea for the use of the swastika by the Nazis came from a
dentist named Dr. Friedrich Krohn who was a member of the secret Germanen Order.
Krohn produced the design for the actual form in which the Nazis came to use the
symbol, that is reversed, spinning in an anti-clockwise direction, as a solar
symbol, the swastika is properly thought of as spinning, and the Buddhists have
always believed the symbol attracted luck. The Sanskrit word 'svastika' means
good fortune and well being. According to Cabbalistic lore and occult theory,
chaotic force can be evoked by reversing the symbol. And so the symbol appeared
as the flag of Nazi Germany and the insignia of the Nazi party, an indication
for those who had eyes to see, as to the occult nature of the Third
Reich." "...Houston Stewart Chamberlain, the mystic who had influenced the
Kaiser, years later declared Hitler to be the prophesied German Messiah. On
September 25, 1925, the Nazi newspaper, Volkischer Beobachter, celebrated
Chamberlain's seventieth birthday and declared his work, Foundations of the
Twentieth Century, to be 'The Gospel of the Nazi Movement'." (4) Himmler and the SS
"The SS had been built up by Himmler on the principles of the
Order of the Jesuits...The Reichsfuhrer SS - Himmler's title as supreme head of
the SS - was intended to be the counterpart of the Jesuits' General of the
Order." "What can we do? Just what the Catholic Church did when it forced
its beliefs on the heathen: preserve what can be preserved and change its
meaning. We shall take the road back: Easter is no longer resurrection but the
eternal renewal of our people. Christmas is the birth of our savior...Do you
think these liberal priests, who have no longer a belief, only an office, will
refuse to preach our God in their churches?" After a lengthy quasi-mystical novitiate, SS recruits were obliged
to attend "neo-pagan ceremonies of a specifically SS religion devised by Himmler
himself and clearly derived from his interests in occultism and the worship of
Woden." "Himmler had abandoned his Catholic faith for spiritualism,
astrology and mesmerism in his late teens. He was convinced that he was the
reincarnation of Heinrich the Fowler, founder of the Saxon royal house, who died
in 936. All these elements were incorporated into his SS 'religion'. "Himmler
devised new festivals to take the place of such Christian events as Christmas
and Easter, he wrote out baptism and marriage ceremonies - though he believed
polygamy would best serve the interests of the SS elite - and he even issued
instructions on the correct manner of committing suicide.
"The center of the SS 'cult' became the castle of Wewelsburg in
Westphalia, which Himmler bought as a ruin in 1934 and rebuilt over the next 11
years at a cost of 13 million marks. The central banqueting hall contained a
vast round table with 13 throne-like seats to accommodate Himmler and 12 of his
closest 'apostles' - making, as some occult writers have pointed out, a coven of
13. Beneath this hall was a 'Hall of the Dead', where plinths stood around a
stone table. As each member of the inner circle of the SS died, his coat of arms
would be burned and, together with his ashes, placed in an urn on one of these
plinths for veneration." "At special SS-run boys' training academies, the Yule festival was
celebrated, not as the birth of Christ, but as the rising from his ashes of the
'Sun Child' at the winter solstice....What they [the rituals] involve is
essentially a twentieth-century variant of the old Sol Invictus cult, to which
Constantine had subscribed 1,600 years before." "Hitler spoke of Heinrich
Himmler, commander-in-chief of the SS, as 'my Ignatius Loyola'....In many
respects, the SS was indeed modeled on the Jesuits, and made deliberate use of
Jesuit techniques in such spheres as psychological conditioning and education.
But the Jesuits themselves had derived much of their structure and organization
from the still older military-religious-chivalric orders like the Knights
Templar and the Teutonic Knights (Deutschritter)."
