520 2  "The definitive history of the supernatural in Nazi 
       Germany, exploring the occult ideas, esoteric sciences, 
       and pagan religions touted by the Third Reich in the 
       service of power. The Nazi fascination with the occult is 
       legendary, yet today it is often dismissed as Himmler's 
       personal obsession or wildly overstated for its novelty. 
       Preposterous though it was, however, supernatural thinking
       was inextricable from the Nazi project. The regime 
       enlisted astrology and the paranormal, paganism, Indo-
       Aryan mythology, witchcraft, miracle weapons, and the lost
       kingdom of Atlantis in reimagining German politics and 
       society and recasting German science and religion. In this
       eye-opening history, Eric Kurlander reveals how the Third 
       Reich's relationship to the supernatural was far from 
       straightforward. Even as popular occultism and 
       superstition were intermittently rooted out, suppressed, 
       and outlawed, the Nazis drew upon a wide variety of occult
       practices and esoteric sciences to gain power, shape 
       propaganda and policy, and pursue their dreams of racial 
       utopia and empire"--|cProvided by publisher
