Mystical secrets of the Third Reich. Hitler and the Occult: The Black Jesuit and the Secrets of the Third Reich. Assassination attempt on the Fuhrer

Today in the series "Labyrinths of Truth" comes the generalizing work of Hans-Ulrich von Krantz, dedicated to the most secret pages of the history of the Third Reich. His books, telling about individual Nazi secrets, were first translated into Russian by our publishing house and met with a grateful reception from the reader. Today we are pleased to present a kind of result of many years of research by Krantz - a work in which all the riddles of Hitlerite Germany that he discovered are brought together.

Krantz's books are still little known to the Russian reader. And in the West they are not very well known - both research scientists and the media are trying in every possible way to hush up those sensational discoveries that Krantz describes in his works. There is serious pressure on publishers who try to publish them to give up their designs. And the scientific community is trying to present the few books that do come out as cheap yellow press. But this is in the West ... While in the homeland of the researcher, in Argentina, these works made a splash, for a long time occupying the first lines in the ratings of the most popular historical literature.

“The surname is not too typical for an Argentinean,” the reader will say. And he will be absolutely right. Von Krantz is an ethnic German, whose father, as an SS officer, left for Argentina after the war to avoid prosecution or, far more dangerous, reprisals without trial. By the will of fate, he was involved in the most secret projects of the Third Reich, the secrets of which he kept all his life. And only after the death of his father, the son was able to find out which "skeletons" were kept in the closet of his family. From that moment on, the respectable bourgeois turned into a tireless and talented researcher - a real stalker, a hunter for sensational secrets.

If you read Krantz's books and then look at his photograph, you get a very strange feeling. Turning over the pages of “Ancestral Heritage”, “Swastikas in Ice” or “Swastikas in Orbit”, you imagine the author as a young, fit man with strong-willed facial features and a steel gaze - such a tough dynamics, such an exciting intrigue is filled with every line of these books. From the photograph, an ordinary fifty-year-old man is looking at us, a tanned blond with deep bald patches, prone to plumpness, with a calm, serene face. This “split personality” is not accidental. For many years, von Krantz had to lead a virtually double life until he decided to publish his first book (which you, dear reader, are now holding in your hands). And few people could suspect that under the appearance of an exemplary bourgeois, a typical average manager or a university professor, there is a person who is ready to destroy stereotypes and bring out into the light of day facts that were previously carefully hushed up or hidden.

We are publishing this book also because the topic of the secrets of the Third Reich has become very popular in our country. Unfortunately, the book counters today are filled mainly with unscrupulous fakes, mediocre inventions on this topic. In contrast to this book product, which the language does not dare to call anything else but waste paper, the work of Krantz, despite the lively and exciting style of presentation, is a serious study based on rich factual material.

But enough words. Let us leave you, dear reader, alone with the brilliant work of Krantz, which, no doubt, will force you to take a fresh look at many seemingly long-known facts.

A word to the reader

"Son of an SS man" - such a nickname stuck to me in my earliest childhood. Then I did not understand what it meant, but I did not feel any offense - this was said, as a rule, without any hatred or contempt. In a quiet, serene Patagonia, the world war, like everything that happened in Europe, seemed to be something distant, almost unreal. In addition, most of those with whom I communicated in my childhood years were residents of the settlement of German colonists, from which my mother was born and where my father arrived in the distant now forty-fifth year.

Yes, he really was an SS man. But not to those who stood on the watchtowers of numerous concentration camps. And not to those who fought at the front as part of the elite units. When the Nazis came to power, my father was a young but promising scholar who studied the history and traditions of the ancient Germans. Quite quickly, all these studies were taken under the auspices of the almighty SS of Heinrich Himmler. My father was faced with a very simple choice: either to become an SS man, or to give up studying his favorite topic. He chose the first. History has shown that this was the wrong choice, but can we today blame him for this?

My father hardly talked about his scientific work. He rose to a fairly high rank - SS Obersturmbannfuehrer, which, according to the Russian table of ranks, roughly corresponds to the army rank of major. When Germany was defeated, Heinrich von Kranz fled to Argentina, where he met my mother, and where the author of these lines was born in 1950. Father did not like to talk about the details of his flight: he only said that he was fleeing from possible reprisals that threatened all SS men - regardless of whether they were involved in war crimes or not.

Until a certain moment, I believed this. Only much later, in my student years, when I began to be seriously interested in the history of the Third Reich, I involuntarily pondered the veracity of my father's words. Hundreds of thousands of people served in the SS, of whom tens of thousands were officers. The death penalty and imprisonment were the fate of a few: mostly those whose hands were covered in blood. It was these people who tried to hide in Latin America. Researchers like my father survived the first years after the defeat relatively calmly and were even able to return to their scientific research. What did he run from after all? And the second riddle: after arriving in Argentina, my father completely abandoned science and began to engage in banal commerce. Why?

During my father's life, I could not find answers to these questions. Moreover, I tried not to ask him or myself, fearing that the answer would be too scary. Only after my father's death in 1990, sorting through his papers, I found a clue. Frankly, she turned out to be completely different from what I expected and was afraid to find out. And this made me even more shocked.

In an old safe in the attic of our house, there were documents concerning such aspects of the history of the Third Reich, which I had never suspected before. About the mysterious project "Anenerbe" ("Legacy of the Ancestors"), about the connections of the Nazi leadership with occult forces, about the secret Antarctic base, about breakthrough scientific research, the results of which were not surpassed even twenty years after the end of the war. They were kept secret by both the defeated and the victors. Because these secrets were capable of completely blowing up our understanding of the Nazi empire. After all, for a long time historians have instilled in us the image of the Nazi regime as a complete bankruptcy that failed in all its endeavors. Maybe at some stage this statement was true, but you can't feed people with the same fairy tale for decades in a row! Because in reality, this monstrous, demonic, criminal regime has achieved such successes in some areas that the rest of humanity never dreamed of. They spoke about this clearly, literally shouted the documents that I inherited.

My first reaction was to publish my findings. However, the publishers I contacted showed no interest in them. “I can cook more interesting things,” one of the editors said during a conversation with me. I realized that I wasn’t taken seriously, and that both angered and surprised me in equal measure.

It is known that he was fascinated by everything mystical and otherworldly. It is no secret that the key role in the formation of the ideology of the Third Reich was assigned to mysticism, and in particular to the idea of ​​the origin of the Aryan race from the ancient Atlanteans and their descendants Hyperboreans. , a mythical homeland, attracted Hitler with ancient secrets.

A very great influence on the formation of the Fuhrer's worldview was exerted by the German scientist Hans Gorbiger with his theory space ice... According to Gorbiger, our time was preceded by a civilization fabulous in scope and power that existed for millennia. The giant people who lived in those days had many slaves. But civilization died as a result of the flood. The scientist believed that once humanity, having gone through colossal catastrophes and mutations, would become as powerful as their ancestors. To save mankind, Gorbiger proposed giving power to the Aryan race as the most powerful.

Before he came to power, Hitler often communicated with a Tibetan lama who lived in Berlin. Lama was called "the man with green gloves", and the initiates called him "the holder of the keys to the kingdom of Agharti." Agharti in German sounds like Asgard - the legendary land of the northern aces gods. A powerful spiritual organization "Thule Society" is associated with the mysterious kingdom of Agharti, which included Hitler. Its founders, scientists Eckart and Haushofer, assured that a high civilization flourished in the Gobi Desert 30-40 centuries ago. During a global catastrophe, some of its representatives survived.

The survivors went to the Himalayan caves where they were divided into two parts. Some began to call their center Agharti (center of goodness), indulged in contemplation and did not interfere in earthly affairs. According to legend, the inhabitants of Agharti are still in caves to this day. The second was the founding of the country of Shambhala (the center of power and violence, governing the world), which is a repository of unknown forces accessible only to initiates. Some of the Gobians seem to have migrated to the north of Europe and the Caucasus and are the ancestors of the Aryan race. Therefore, only the Aryan race had the opportunity to conclude an alliance with Agharti and Shambhala and master the secrets of controlling subtle energy, allowing them to learn, for example, to move multi-ton boulders with their eyes.

From all these ideas, the Fuhrer formulated the theory of "magic socialism", according to which people every 700 years rise to a new stage of development. The harbinger of the transformation of races is the appearance of giant magicians. The Fuehrer considered the Aryans to be the true race, called upon to learn the next cycle. Their lot is an epic led by "higher unknowns". Other people, as Hitler believed, only outwardly resemble humans, but are further from the Aryans than animals. Therefore, he did not perceive the extermination of Jews, Gypsies, etc., as a crime against humanity. By order of the Fuhrer, a special institute "" was created, which organized expeditions to Tibet in search of legendary countries. Alas, several expeditions to Tibet were unsuccessful.

Throughout his life, the Fuhrer was actively fond of fortune-telling and respected all kinds of seers and clairvoyants. Hearing that another person with paranormal abilities appeared in some city or country, he immediately rushed to organize a personal meeting - calling out to himself (and generously thanks for the sessions), or arriving in person. There is evidence of eyewitnesses, which says that when communicating with them, the great dictator suddenly turned into an "obedient student" who listened to their every word. He treated the representatives of the world of magic with respectable respect and even if they were rude to him, he never allowed to answer harshly or take aggressive measures.

A well-known fact: it was in Bulgaria, the Fuhrer, accompanied by guards, came to the famous Vanga and, leaving the guards outside the house, retired with her, and after some time literally ran out of her house, shouting and cursing loudly. Already from the story of Vanga herself, we know that he wanted to know the future - as she sees him. Wanga replied that she did not want to work with him, because he is not a good person, on account of whom there are many deaths, and even more people will be killed because of him in the future.

The only prediction she made to Hitler related to the coming war. She said that he has two options for the future, in one case he will live a long time and gain money, but lose power, and in the other version he will be in power, but for a short time, after which he will be killed, and his entire ideology will collapse, equal how everything that was created by him disappears. And the starting point of the path on which the future depends is the war with Russia. The collapse of Hitler awaited if he went to Russia with the war. It was this prophecy that infuriated the dictator, it was him who disobeyed, and what all this led to - we know from world history.

Why did the Fuhrer, trusting the predictors, not listen to Wang, by the way, who already had incredible authority at that time? Many of the researchers believe that the reason lies in no one artifact, the name of which is "" (other names: "Spear of Longinus", "Spear of Omnipotence", "Spear of Otto"). The Fuhrer believed (and perhaps he was convinced of this by the "court" fortune-tellers, astrologers to whose advice he always listened) that possessing him, he would be able to change the course of history, subjugating the minds of people, control destinies and really work miracles. The "Spear of Destiny", which for the ideologists of the "millennial Reich" was an invaluable magical attribute, but in fact was a simple, nondescript iron tip of an ancient spear, considered one of the main shrines of the Christian world (the second most important attribute on the Western Christian scale of values ​​after) kept in the Vienna Hofburg Museum - the former palace of the Habsburgs, Austrian emperors.

1909 - a young and unknown artist Adolf lived in Vienna, or rather lived in poverty. Small pictures with views of the city did not give much income, and there were no serious orders and could not have been. But ambitious dreams haunted the future executioner of peoples. One of Hitler's most cherished dreams was that mystical spear, the legend of which he knew very well. In many ways, his friend Alfred Rosenberg, who in early years openly carried away by the occult, he spent many times summoned by various princes of Prussia, once fragmented into parts.

One of the frequently asked questions from this dubious company concerned the spear that was kept in the museum. And at one of these sessions, at which, as the Fuehrer once admitted, Otto III himself was summoned - the Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, who once owned a mysterious spear, the spirit informed the future Fuehrer who was watching the process that he would be the next master of the spear with all that it implies. consequences.

Over time, having established himself at the head of "New Germany", Hitler openly spoke about his worship of the cherished spear. So, in the Center for Nazi Religion in Berlin, which he created in 1935, there was a certain "Spear Room" - a small room in which there was a copy of the driving object. But the copy could not satisfy his vanity, because it did not have any magical power, and therefore it is no coincidence that the first victim of world tyranny was Austria, the Alpine republic, which did not interfere with anyone. A secret operation was carried out to seize "especially valuable" museum exhibits of the Hofburg Museum.

Before the armored German columns invaded the sovereign Austrian territory, on the personal order of the Fuehrer, the local Viennese SS men captured the Hofburg. Hitler personally arrived at the Vienna Museum immediately after the Anschluss and, as described in many sources, “his hands, trembling with excitement, removed the glass that had separated him from his passionately desired jewel for so long, after which his numb fingers lightly touched the ancient iron, and not with a glove - he he longed with his skin, his flesh to feel the power of the magic tip. "

Over time, the list of Hitler's artifacts was replenished with other magical acquisitions. The inventory list indicated: the tooth of John the Baptist, a piece of tablecloth from the table of the Last Supper, over which Jesus Christ once broke bread, the purse of Saint Elmo, the Bible of the first Pope, a stone from the wall of the Jerusalem Temple and much more.

1944 October - Anglo-American bombs ruin ancient Nuremberg. The old fortress was also destroyed to the ground, in the underground galleries of which the Fuhrer kept his treasures. Neither the armored bunker nor the special spells of the occult agent unit could help.

At this time, the army of Marshal Zhukov is approaching the German border. In Berlin, the Fuhrer holds an emergency meeting at which the fate of the treasures is decided, while the main goal is to save the spear - Hitler was ready to sacrifice the rest. They made a decision - to hide the "spear of Destiny" in the Alps, in a special rocky shelter.

But in the confusion that arose, the "Sword of St. Maurice" was sent to the Alps by mistake, and the spear was forgotten in Nuremberg. 1945, April 30 - the dungeons of Nuremberg were examined by American troops, who did not find anything interesting, and the military was simply not interested in the unsightly rags. It could have been buried under the ruins, but the spear was taken as a memento by the American General Patton, who after the war, having learned about its value, handed it over to the authorities of the newly liberated Austria. It is kept to this day in the Hofburg Palace ...

The writer and researcher Hans-Ulrich von Kranz is an ethnic German. His father was an SS officer and left for Argentina after the war to avoid prosecution. Krantz's books quickly became a sensation, as they lifted the curtain over the most closely hidden secrets of the Third Reich! Whether it concerns the secret Nazi bases in Antarctica, space discoveries made by Hitler's henchmen much earlier than the Russians or the Americans, or the breeding of a race of "supermen". Unraveling the thread of the creation of nuclear weapons by the Nazis, von Krantz stumbles upon their other developments, in particular, biological and psychotronic weapons. You are holding in your hands the generalizing work of von Krantz, a kind of result of his many years of searching. The secret projects of the Hitlerite empire became the property of the whole world. The mysteries of Nazi Germany seemingly solved, what's next? But new questions are popping up. Was AIDS invented in Germany in the 1930s? Where have the polar cities disappeared? Who manipulates the governments of many countries - are they the heirs of the Third Reich? Von Kranz continues to study the chronicle of the history of the Third Reich, discovering more and more new and stunning pages ...

Chapter 2. PROJECTS OF NAZI MYSTICS

No matter how difficult it was to get information about the main characters involved in the creation of "Anenerbe", it still turned out to be much easier than researching the activities of the institute itself. Because each of the persons who appear on the pages of this book left their mark on history, regardless of the affairs of the "Legacy of the Ancestors".

But the life of the institute itself is a mystery shrouded in darkness. Moreover, someone diligently protects this secret to this day. This is not only about the archival funds that have ended up in the hands of the Russians. During one of my trips to Germany, working in the archives there, I almost managed to grab the most valuable materials by the tail. But it didn’t work ... It happened like this: in the catalog of archival files, there was a card, quite innocent, at first glance. It was stamped: “Foundations of the SS Historical Administration. Volume 1 ". I knew perfectly well that, of course, there was no historical management in the SS, and we are talking about someone's banal mistake. Most likely, some Ahnenerbe documents got into the case. I immediately requested these materials and three hours later I could be convinced of the correctness of my assumptions. The documents related to Operation Grail, and I worked with them until the very closing of the archive. Imagine my surprise when, returning there the next morning, I did not find a card or a file! The archive workers just shrugged their shoulders: the most intelligible of all that I have heard from them is that the case has been selected for transfer to another, specialized archive. However, they could not tell me the name and address of the profile archive, but they accidentally let it slip that several more similar cases were “gone” along with it. All I had to do was bite my elbows ...

However, not all of my searches ended so sadly. Otherwise, I think you would not be holding this book in your hands. Fortune smiled at me quite often. I learned about operations that shook the imagination, about secret expeditions, about mysterious finds ... However, I will tell you about everything in order.

Cathars and the Grail

One of the first secret projects of the Ahnenerbe was Operation Grail. Its idea was submitted personally by Hitler. Fascinated by the romantic legends of the Holy Grail and the Knights of the Round Table who dedicated themselves to finding it, he dreamed of recreating something like this in modern world... As a matter of fact, the SS Order itself was to become the embodiment of the Order of the Round Table. Such a table, by the way, stood in the Wewelsburg castle - Himmler's favorite brainchild - and was used for the most direct purpose: meetings of senior SS officials and all kinds of mystical ceremonies were held behind it.

But how did Hitler manage to combine his passion for the Holy Grail with hatred of Christianity? Indeed, in his contradictory nature, these two tendencies hardly coexisted. "I had no reason," the Fuehrer would say later, "to admire all these worthless knights who dishonored their Aryan blood, following all the superstitions of the Jewish Jesus." Hitler thought for a long time about solving this puzzle and, in the end, found a way out:

The Grail, he said, is not at all a Christian shrine. The legend that this is a cup with the blood of Jesus Christ was invented later. In fact, the Grail has a much more ancient origin than Christianity: it is at least ten thousand years old.

What is the Grail? Hitler could not answer this question for sure. Obviously, it should be about some kind of Aryan shrine. Perhaps this is a stone with runic inscriptions, on which the main events of the true history of mankind, not perverted by Jews, or the foundations of the Aryan religion are recorded. In general, it was about the Aryan shrine, which the knights of the Round Table kept precisely because of their origin, and not because of the Christian faith. “What could such a path of initiation have in common with a Jewish carpenter from Nazareth? - Hitler declared. - With this rabbi, whose upbringing was based on obedience and love for one's neighbor and whose goal was only to forget the will to survive? Indeed, the trials associated with the search for the Grail and designed to awaken the latent capabilities of a person with pure blood had nothing to do with Christianity! The Grail virtues were inherent in all Aryan peoples. Christianity has added here only the seeds of degeneration - such as the forgiveness of insults, self-denial, weakness, obedience and even the rejection of the laws of evolution, which proclaim the survival of the fittest, the bravest and the most dexterous. "

Did the Holy Grail Really Exist? Hitler fully admitted that yes. But then it is possible that he was able to "live" to this day. Indeed, the legends say nothing about the destruction of the relic, but only mention that it was carefully hidden. Trying to find the Holy Grail - this was the task the Fuehrer set for the Ahnenerbe Institute. In a folder with documents, which I, on a happy occasion, was given in the archives, I found a letter from Hitler to Wirth, dated October 24, 1934. It, in particular, read:

Dear Mr. Wirth! The rapid growth of your institute and the recent successes it has been able to achieve give grounds for optimism. I believe that now "Ahnenerbe" is ready to cope with more serious tasks than those that have been set before it so far. We are talking about the search for the so-called "Holy Grail", which, in my opinion, is a real-life relic of our Aryan ancestors. To search for this artifact, you can use additional funds in the required amount.

To carry out the task set by the Fuhrer, Virt was given very broad powers. However, he would hardly have been able to achieve anything if not for another man who was no less than Hitler interested in finding the Holy Grail. His name was Otto Rahn.

Ran was relatively young - he was born on February 18, 1904 - and therefore did not even have time to take part in the battles of the First World War. While his peers eagerly watched the situation on the fronts, Otto was fond of the history and doctrine of one of the largest heretical sects - the Cathars. He continued his studies in the 1920s, entering the university.

Who are the Cathars? This heretical sect appeared in southern France in the 12th century. They believed that there are two principles in the world, two gods - good and evil. Moreover, it was the evil God who created our material world. The Cathars denied all Christian attributes - the cross, icons, statues, did not recognize the sacraments of the Catholic Church. The existence of hell and heaven, the doctrine of the Last Judgment was also rejected by them. Instead of Christian, the Cathars developed their own rituals, their own system of sacred symbols. And one of the central places in it, oddly enough, was taken by the Grail.

In conditions when the Catholic Church completely discredited itself, the heresy of the Cathars began to spread rapidly throughout Europe. More and more people - not only poor peasants and apprentices, but also noble knights and counts - followed their teachings. The situation became dangerous for the Vatican, and in 1209 Pope Innocent II announced a crusade against the Cathars. He was almost too late: in order to eradicate heresy, it took more than half a century - so deeply it stuck in the minds and hearts of people. Ultimately, however, the Cathars were defeated, and the remnants of their army were besieged in the impregnable castle of Montsegur - their main sanctuary. Monsegur held out for over a year and was taken only with great difficulty. In 1244, mass executions officially ended the heresy of the Cathars.

But what does the Grail have to do with it? The fact is that, according to fragmentary information that has come down to our days, the Cathars worshiped the Grail by no means abstractly; the sacred object was in the main sanctuary of Montsegur. Where he went later is unknown, but Ran quite reasonably assumed that the Cathars hid the Grail. And so reliably that no one was able to find it; or the finder was able to conceal his find well enough. In 1928-1929 Rahn went on a long trip to the "Qatari" places in France, Spain, Italy and Switzerland. Most of his attention is attracted, of course, by the ruins of Montsegur, which are located not far from the village of Lavlan. There are many caves in the mountains surrounding the ruins, and Ran examined them systematically over a period of three months.

An important role in the fate of the young German was played by his acquaintance with another expert on cathars - Antonin Gabal, who was much older than Rahn and managed to accumulate a lot of valuable information during his life. Gabal was looking for another shrine of the Cathars - the Gospel of John, so two fanatical researchers were able to become not competitors, but partners. Gabal's rich experience and knowledge and Rahn's sharp analytical mind made a brilliant combination.

Rahn explored the Pyrenees caves week after week - but without much visible results. Indeed, the haphazard search for the Grail (which Ran did not even really know what it actually was) in the mountain range looked like an attempt to find the notorious needle in a haystack. It was necessary to find some solution, some method, to get a clue to the mystery.

And Ran sat down again at the Cathar manuscripts. The materials provided by Gabal were invaluable to him. Among them was a fairly detailed plan of the castle of Montsegur. Studying it, Ran suddenly found that it completely coincides with the description of the legendary Mount Monsalvat, where the relic is hidden. So the Grail is in the immediate vicinity of the castle - if not in the castle itself! Continuing his study of Montsegur, Rahn discovered that the castle was geometrically perfect, and if not for some moments, it would be a perfectly symmetrical building. On the one hand, for the level of architectural skill of the XII century, such errors were quite normal. Yet something in these deviations from symmetry - the missing corridors and rooms - haunted Wound. Until he asked himself the question: who said that they really do not exist?

Indeed, if the plan is completed so that the castle acquires perfect symmetry, several rooms will appear on the plan, which supposedly never existed. Ran suggested that these secret underground passages and halls are simply buried under a pile of ruins, and it is in them that the relic is hidden.

Together with Gabal and several other enthusiastic assistants from among the local peasants, he takes up the job. And then something incomprehensible happens.

Wound actually manages to discover underground passages, the existence of which no one suspected. They led to the sacred caves, the entrance to which "outside" had long been littered with avalanches. In these natural grottoes, traces of people from many eras have been preserved - from the Neanderthals, who decorated the walls with their unpretentious drawings, to the Cathars, who turned them into their sanctuaries. Here is how Ran describes these caves: “In ancient times, in that distant era, which was barely touched by modern historical science, the grotto was used as a temple dedicated to the Iberian god Illhomber, the sun god. Between two monoliths, one of which has collapsed, a steep path leads to the giant lobby of Lombrive Cathedral. Between the stalagmites of white limestone, between the dark brown, sparkling rock crystal walls, the path leads down to the very depths of the mountain. The hall, about 80 meters high, served as a cathedral for heretics. "

Here Ran made another discovery: the walls of the caves were covered, besides all other inscriptions and drawings, with the symbols of the Templars! This means that the Knights of the Temple were indeed associated with heretics and, perhaps, for many years they guarded the Holy Grail after the destruction of Montsegur! Returning from the expedition, Rahn devoted several books to these questions. Unfortunately, he wrote, the Holy Grail was never discovered. This is still the case. But I, using the simplest logic, want to question this conclusion.

Suppose Ran really didn't find the Grail. What would such a fanatical explorer do? Of course, I would organize a new expedition in the hope of achieving success! Or, completely disillusioned with failures, I would, in principle, abandon my research. But Ran does neither! He continues his studies of the history of the Cathars, but no longer searches for the Grail - only a person who has achieved his goal behaves this way.

Suppose the Grail was found after all. What prevented Ran from publicizing his discovery? We can only make assumptions about this. Perhaps the Grail turned out to be the bearer of some information that seemed too shocking to Ran, and he hesitated to publish it. Perhaps he wanted to first collect as much information as possible and give his discovery a worthy "shell". Be that as it may, in 1934, when Hitler sent his letter to Virtue (in fact, an order), no one even suspected that the Grail was found and was at Rahn.

And they just had to read the customs declarations that the scientist filled out when crossing the Franco-German border in 1929. Among other items, they listed "a copper boiler for a high-power steam plant." Please tell me why an archaeologist might need a steam boiler? Only in order to hide some rather large object in it from prying eyes. Apparently, this is how the Grail got to Germany.

Rahn's books attracted the attention of Ahnenerbe and Himmler personally. He was offered first to cooperate with the institute, and then to become its full-time employee. In 1936, Otto Rahn officially joined the SS. The promotion of the young scientist up the career ladder went with incredible speed. In 1937 he took part in a large expedition "Ahnenerbe" to Iceland, aimed at searching for the legendary land of Thule. Ran, within the framework of the expedition, solves his problem - he is looking for traces of the Cathars' stay on the distant northern island (albeit without much success).

And in 1938, a young scientist, making a brilliant career, falls out of favor. The reasons for this are as mysterious as much else in Rahn's tumultuous and eventful life. There are several versions of why this happened.

The first version says that Ran tried to restore the Cathar religion within the SS and, it seems, even achieved certain successes in this direction. This seems to be true - according to the testimony of many contemporaries, Ran really began to profess the Cathar faith at some point. Had he done it quietly, without attracting anyone's attention, everything would have worked out. But Rahn openly promoted his views, which were seriously at odds with Hitler's theory. In particular, he spoke about the need to avoid a European war at any cost, that on the basis of ancient religion, ancient values, the revival and cohesion of Europe is possible. He rejected the harsh persecution of dissidents, allowed negative statements about the concentration camps. In one of his letters, he spoke with pain of how difficult it was for him to observe everything that was happening in Germany:

I am saddened by the way things are going in my country. I was in Munich two weeks ago. In two days, I would prefer to go to my mountains. It is impossible for a tolerant, liberal person like me to live in such a country as my homeland has become. I am ashamed of the black uniform I have to wear and dream of getting rid of it.

The deliverance has taken place. Ran submitted his resignation letter and left, haunted by many false rumors. According to one, his parents were Jewish; according to others, the young scientist was convicted of homosexuality. But in that case - just as if Rahn had discovered a clear political unreliability - he would have been thrown into one of the German concentration camps without any pity, where the young man would have been reduced to ashes. This did not happen, Ran could freely walk freely. True, Ran complained to his loved ones that he felt a constant threat, that his life was in great danger. Premonitions did not deceive the young scientist: in the spring of 1939, while skiing on the slopes of the Tyrolean mountains, he was buried under an avalanche.

The official version - death by accident - was soon overshadowed by another, semi-official: suicide. They recalled that in the Cathar religion, in contrast to Christianity, suicide is permitted, moreover, it is almost encouraged as a way to overcome a sinful and mortal earthly existence. Obviously, this version was launched to make people forget the obvious: Ran wanted to live and was afraid of death. Therefore, we are talking about the actual murder.

Let's put off the search for the murderers for a while. Let us ask ourselves: for what purpose was the fact of the murder concealed, why was it required to kill in such a difficult way? Obviously, there can be only one answer: Rana was feared. He knew too much.

And one more question: where did the Grail disappear after Rahn's death? The answer is easier than it sounds. The awl is extremely difficult to hide in a sack, and in the early 1940s, rumors spread throughout Germany that the Grail was kept in the Wewelsburg Order Castle, among other relics. After the defeat of Germany, it was officially announced that in fact there was nothing of value in the basements of the castle, and the word "Grail" meant a large piece of rock crystal. Plausible? To be honest, not really. Why would the SS men drag rock crystal into their lair, and even call it the Grail? It's like putting a bag of rubbish in your dresser and calling it a jewelry box. Therefore, two options remain: either Himmler's employees were clinical idiots (which I hardly believe), or the Grail was indeed in the cellars of Wewelsburg, but this fact was carefully tried to hide. Where did he go after the war is a separate question; we will return to it later, but for now we will turn to the fate of Rahn.

So, in 1934, Hitler had no idea where the Grail really was. And he was with Rahn. In the late 1930s, the Grail successfully migrated to the cellars of Wewelsburg. What happened? It is logical to assume that the Nazis somehow became aware of who keeps the Grail in their bins. And it was only natural that they were seriously offended by Rahn for trying to hide the relic. This could be the main reason for the disgrace and the mysterious death of Rahn.

One could calm down on this, if not for the third version. The fact is that in the unpublished manuscripts of Rahn, which I got to in a completely unthinkable way, there is one powerful and mysterious organization that could take on the soul of the murder of a scientist. An organization closely associated with both the Catholic Church and Freemasonry, and with the Nazi elite. This is the Priory of Zion.

The Priory is known to the modern book lover except for the works of Dan Brown. The American writer, however, heard the ringing, but does not know where he is. He turned the Priory of Zion into an organization hostile to the Catholic Church. In fact, everything was exactly the opposite.

In the course of his research, Ran came across Cathar manuscripts written in an incomprehensible code. After many months of work, he managed to uncover this code. And before the surprised scientist, new sides of the seemingly forgotten history were revealed. It turns out that the Cathars had connections not only with the Templars. The heretics had a whole network of their "agents of influence" - those very famous troubadours, wandering musicians who sang about love. Here is how Otto Rahn himself described his discovery:

When we talk about the religion of love of the troubadours, about the dedicated knights of the Grail, we must try to discover what lies behind their language. In those days, the word "love" did not mean what we mean today. The word "love" (Amor) was a code, it was a code word. “Amor,” read from right to left, is Roma. That is, this word meant that in the form as it was written, the opposite of Rome, everything that Rome embodied. In addition, "Amor" can be divided into two parts: A-mor (no death), which means the possibility of immortality, eternal life. This is esoteric, solar Christianity. That is why Rome (Roma) destroyed the Love (Amor) of the Cathars, Templars, Guardians of the Grail, Minnesingers (Minstrels).

In these texts there was also an indication of the forces opposing the Cathars. And the first was the mysterious Priory of Sion, to which the lion's share of encrypted pages was dedicated. Ran undertook to investigate it - and discovered a whole layer of European history, carefully hidden from our eyes.

It turned out that the Priory of Zion is a secret order that operates "in tandem" with the Catholic Church. But if the Church acts openly, then the Priory is an extremely conspiratorial secret society that does not restrict itself to the conventions of doctrine. The task of the Priory was something that the official church could not cope with: to establish complete control over the minds and souls of people. Soon after its formation in the 11th century, the Priory tried to create its own state and chose the land of Palestine for this. The famous Crusades were initiated and funded by this very organization, the crusader kings are in fact the highest officials of the Priory.

When this valiant initiative was nipped in the bud by the Arabs (by the way, since then the Priory has been desperately fighting Islam. The current hotbed of tension in the Middle East is largely his work), the Priory leadership decided to organize its “secret state”. However, some did not want to serve not too pure goals and left the order, founding the Cathar movement. It is clear that they were doomed to destruction for two reasons at once - they knew too much and resisted.

When the Cathars were finished, a new threat arose before the order. The Knights Templar, originally the main military support of the order, rebelled and began to claim independence. They also had to be destroyed. Only after that did the order pass internal reform, which finally approved the basis of its organization.

The head of the order was the Grand Master. This position was attended by many amazing, legendary personalities - Sandro Botticelli, Leonardo da Vinci, Isaac Newton, Victor Hugo, Claude Debussy. The master is surrounded by a narrow circle of confidants - the so-called Sighted: only they know who is at the head of the order. Lower Level - Initiates: those who do not know the identity of the Grand Master, but are sufficiently deeply devoted to the affairs of the order. These two higher degrees form, in fact, the basis of the order; people come here only after careful selection, and the only reason for their departure from the order is death. The two lower strata are those who serve the Priory, unaware of its true goals and objectives. These are people invested with power (politicians, financiers, military leaders) and simple "cannon fodder" - expendable human material.

A member of the Priory — an Initiate, if not the Sighted — was Haushofer. Apparently, it was he who invited the order to support Hitler. Historians are still wondering: how could a dwarf nationalist party, which had a lot of competitors, reach unprecedented heights in a few years? What made the industrialists and financiers give her multimillion-dollar subsidies? Apparently, this can only be explained by the influence of the Priory.

The Priory went directly to the Nazi leaders, and a treaty was made between the two parties. Obviously, the creation of a certain state in southern France was envisaged, where the Priory could realize its thousand-year dream of its own territory. It is no coincidence that after the defeat of France in 1940, Germany occupied only its northern part, and left the puppet government of Petain in the southern part. According to the available data, both Petain and the head of his cabinet Laval were executors of the Priorat's will. This is evidenced by the violent activity that the Priory of Sion developed in southern France in the early 1940s. At the risk of breaking the conspiracy, the order even published its own magazine - "Venkr". Subsequently, much was said about the fact that this magazine was organized by the Resistance, since some of the materials in it were openly anti-German in nature. However, this is not entirely true. First, the magazine, unlike other publications of the Resistance, was published on excellent paper, which was not available anywhere except from the Germans. Secondly, it will not be possible to find any particularly anti-German statements there, even with a strong desire; I personally looked through the entire set of "Venkra" and found only what I expected: the hidden preparation of readers for the establishment of the secular power of clergy. In particular, many articles are devoted to the experience of theocracies, which are interpreted extremely positively. The Priory of Zion was preparing a fertile ground for itself.

The Priory was closely connected with Anenerbe, primarily through specific employees of the institute, who were at the same time Initiates of the Order. The most interesting thing is that the Priory was active in Western countries- members of the anti-Hitler coalition. Apparently, this explains the desire to hide some facts of the history of the Third Reich.

How deep was Ran able to penetrate the secrets of the Priory of Sion? This, probably, we will never know. In any case, he learned enough to doom himself to certain death. And take with us to the grave many secrets, the solution to which we are still looking for.

Ancestral legacy and propaganda

"With the help of skilful propaganda, one can imagine even the most miserable life as paradise and, on the contrary, paint the most prosperous life with the blackest colors." This is what Hitler wrote in his Mein Kampf. Propaganda was the basis of the existence of the Third Reich, it was thanks to skillful and skillful propaganda that the head of the NSDAP came to power. Therefore, it is quite natural that the Ahnenerbe Institute was also involved in the work of the Hitlerite propaganda machine.

Historians argue a lot about how a man like Adolf Hitler was able to take power into his own hands. This is usually explained by purely economic reasons: the global crisis, the impoverishment of people, the growth of unemployment ... All this, they say, undermined the base on which the Weimar Republic rested, did not allow it to strengthen. It all began with the Treaty of Versailles, which left the Germans with a terrible moral trauma and instilled in them hatred of the democracy imposed by the victors.

To some extent, this is true. But a trauma once inflicted has a tendency to gradually be forgotten. It took some effort to keep it open and hurt the Germans. And it was Hitler who was the one who poisoned the wounds of the German people, who tried to inflate the scale of "historical injustice", "national shame", as he portrayed the Treaty of Versailles. Here are his own words on this matter: "As for the 'guilt for the war', this feeling no longer worried anyone ... almost all means were used that ... could be expedient for propaganda purposes."

It is Hitler's incredible propaganda talent that is considered the main reason for his rise to power. At the same time, the abilities of the future Fuhrer were especially vividly manifested in the period before 1933, when he did not yet have a monopoly on the printed word. Only skillful, subtle propaganda could attract more and more voters, who cast their votes to the NSDAP in the next elections. Without political technologies, as we would say today, without "black" and "gray" PR, Hitler would never have come to power.

At the same time, Hitler himself was nothing outstanding. As we said above, he was only a "medium", a conductor of the energy of other people. The nondescript Fuhrer was laughed at behind his back by the press sharks, the owners of newspaper concerns, the captains of the economy. They laughed until he became a Fuhrer with unlimited power. As long as he still allowed others to control him. And these "others" unwisely put into his hands a weapon of terrible destructive power - a whole staff of first-class propagandists, specialists in their field, who would later form the basis of the "Ancestral Heritage" propaganda service.

Yes, yes, the "Ahnenerbe" had its own propaganda service, not even under the control of Goebbels; the omnipotent doctor was forced to communicate with the specialists of the institute on an equal footing. And this is far from coincidental, because the people who made up the staff of this service were those to whom Hitler largely owed his coming to power.

The scale of Hitler's own propaganda talent is well known. He could speak in smoke-filled beer halls in the early 1920s, he could infect a crowd with his energy, he could intuitively find the right tone, the right words. He would make a wonderful local politician who, perhaps, after the onset of a "period of stability" in the mid-1920s, would have been successfully forgotten. But this did not happen. The head of the NSDAP quickly reached the national level, gained popularity throughout the country. To do this, he needed to become not just a talented orator - he needed to perfectly master the technologies that allowed him to subdue the minds and souls of millions of people.

Haushofer and the Thule Society helped him take the first steps on this path. But Hitler made a serious mistake when he tried to take power in 1923. In Landsberg prison, he had enough time to reflect on his mistakes and move on to new tactics: more thoughtful, more effective. Every day strange visitors come to the leader of the Nazis - journalists, scientists, little-known persons of the liberal professions. All of them, apparently, give Hitler advice on how to fight for power after gaining freedom. The outcome of these meetings is clearly visible in the book "Mein Kampf", some chapters of which are entirely devoted to the art of propaganda.

So, what should it be, this propaganda? Hitler, thanks to his mentors, learned five basic principles on which everything else was built.

First, propaganda should always appeal to the feelings, not the minds of people. She must play on emotions that are much stronger than reason. Emotions cannot be opposed with anything, they cannot be defeated by rational arguments. Emotions allow you to influence the subconscious of a person, to completely control his behavior.

Second, propaganda must be simple. As Hitler himself wrote, any form of propaganda should be publicly available, its spiritual level is tuned to the level of perception of the most limited people. You don't need to be too abstruse, you need to speak simply and clearly - so that even a village idiot can figure everything out.

Thirdly, propaganda should set clear objectives for itself. Each person should be explained what he needs to strive for, what exactly to do. No semitones, no probabilities, no alternatives. The picture of the world must be black and white. "There can be only positive or negative, love or hate, right or lawlessness, truth or falsehood."

Fourthly, propaganda must rely on a limited set of basic theses and repeat them endlessly in a variety of variations. “Any alternation of them should not change the essence of the propaganda; at the end of the speech, one should say the same thing as at the very beginning. Slogans should be repeated on different pages, and each paragraph of the speech should end with a specific slogan, ”wrote Hitler. The constant repetition of the same thoughts makes people accept them as an axiom, suppresses any resistance of consciousness. If you repeat an unsubstantiated thesis many times, it will work better than any proof - these are the features of the human psyche.

Fifth, it is necessary to respond flexibly to the arguments of opponents and not leave a stone unturned from them in advance. Hitler wrote: “It is necessary to completely break up the opinion of opponents in our own speech. At the same time, it is advisable to immediately present the possible arguments of the opponents and prove their inconsistency ”. It is not necessary to make sure that opponents actually make these arguments; it is enough to come up with these arguments yourself (and the more obvious their stupidity and absurdity, the better), and then crush them with a bang! And who will then listen to opponents mumbling something about the fact that they, they say, did not intend to say such nonsense at all?

In addition to these basic rules, it was necessary to know a lot of smaller secrets. For example, about how to artificially "warm up" the mood of the public. Banners, banners with slogans, the same uniform, bravura music - all this is firmly included in Hitler's propaganda arsenal. The combination of all these means made it possible, literally, to turn people into zombies, unable to control themselves in any way. Hitler played on their basest instincts - hatred, anger, envy - and invariably won. Because those who rely on base instincts inevitably seek the approval of the crowd.

Hitler knew how to make the very last, the smallest man feel like the master of this world, a great Aryan, standing above all other people. This feeling was clearly linked to the personality of the Fuhrer himself. The listener had the feeling: "I am the master of this world, but only if I go with this speaker from the rostrum." At the same time, Hitler brilliantly possessed the gift of reincarnation. He could wear a variety of masks, play any role. Sometimes he imagined himself as a reasonable, practical person, sometimes - a bunch of feelings and emotions, a living embodiment of the indomitable German spirit.

He had excellent teachers and companions. A whole army of propagandists behaved like her Fuehrer. The famous historian Golo Mann wrote on this subject:

They were all very different. Some presented themselves as conservatives, officers wearing orders, fat and imaginary aristocrats. Others played strong hard workers, deceived German hard workers. Still others specialized in whipping up the ancients, hidden in all European nations, without exception, bad instincts - hatred of Jewry. Others posed as vulgar and vicious; still others - the highest, free-spirited intelligentsia of the party.

It is felt that the NSDAP propaganda was directed from a single center. This center was by no means Goebbels' department - it was only a banal executor. Behind Hitler and his associates stood a small group of highly qualified propaganda masters, brilliant theoreticians with practical experience, who later found their place within the walls of Ahnenerbe. Why don't we hear anything about them, but only know about the extraordinary talents of Goebbels?

By the way, with these talents, everything is also not very clear. Until the moment when fate brought Goebbels and Hitler close (this happened in 1929), the future Minister of Propaganda of the Reich in no way showed his extraordinary talents. He was a good journalist, but nothing more; he did not like to speak in front of large audiences and was afraid. In the late 1920s, Goebbels was transformed overnight; at the same time, his diary entries, published after the war, betray neither the flight of thought, nor the art of handling the word. Obviously, Goebbels did not act on his own, but was only a tool in someone's hands.

Propaganda is the most powerful weapon of the twentieth century, more terrible atomic bomb... Therefore, the winners - primarily the Western powers - were interested in putting the German "propaganda masters" at their service. That is why their huge contribution to the victory of the NSDAP was hidden, their names have become a secret forever. Almost the entire propaganda department of "Ahnenerbe", according to the information I have, became part of the American special services, even its structure was preserved. Having crossed the ocean, these people continued to fight against the same enemy - communist Russia.

But back to Hitler. Another successful propaganda solution was the use of red as one of the main colors of the movement. In this case, the other two colors - white and black - were in a subordinate position. The solution turned out to be simple and ingenious: the three colors matched the three colors of the Kaiser's flag and made it possible to attract conservatives and everyone who yearned for the "good old days" without democracy and economic upheaval to National Socialism. The red color made it possible to lure supporters of the left parties, creating the illusion that the NSDAP was another socialist party, only with a national bias.

In addition, the propagandists behind Hitler skillfully played on another need of the common man. Psychologists call this the "need for group self-identification." What it is? After the defeat in the war, after the economic crises, the German felt lonely, weak, and betrayed. But if you dress him in a beautiful uniform, put people like him in line, play a military march and lead a parade along the main street of the city, he will immediately feel like a part of a very strong whole. Not by chance Nazi parades were one of the main means of agitation and propaganda, attracting more and more new adherents.

The assault detachments of the NSDAP - SA grew literally by leaps and bounds. By 1933, there were already several million people in them! Almost every tenth adult male German was a stormtrooper. The SA has become the most powerful military force in Germany, instilling fear even in the army.

The rise of the party began in 1930, after the outbreak of the global economic crisis, which hit Germany very hard. Production fell, unemployment rose before our eyes, reaching incredible proportions. On behalf of all these unemployed, Hitler denounced the current government, urged them to fight for a well-fed and free life. The NSDAP faction in parliament grew by leaps and bounds. Nazi actions became more and more widespread, parades and demonstrations turned into professionally staged performances. It was then that the greeting "Heil Hitler!" Was introduced, and any possible opposition to the Fuehrer within the party was suppressed. The deification of Hitler began, to whom almost supernatural features were attributed. The intensity of passions has reached its highest point.

The latest technical means were widely used for propaganda. In particular, we are talking about radio, which was widespread at that time. The NSDAP owned several radio stations that allowed Hitler to speak not in front of thousands, but in front of millions of people. Aviation was also used: the famous Lufthansa company provided the leader of the NSDAP with the latest passenger plane, on which he flew across Germany during the successive election campaigns. "Hitler over the country!" - exclaimed about this Nazi propaganda. A private plane allowed him to speak at three or four rallies in different cities during one day, which was inaccessible to his rivals.

Quite traditional methods of propaganda were also used - leaflets, newspapers, brochures. Each party cell was obliged to hold permanent meetings, rallies, processions, and agitate people. Nazi rallies acquired the features of religious ceremonies, which also had a powerful effect on the minds of those present.

After 1933, propaganda changed: it became, on the one hand, more sophisticated, and on the other, more massive. This is not surprising: after coming to power, Hitler got into his own hands virtually unlimited control over all radio stations and periodicals in the country. Now he had no competitors. And before the propaganda stands new task- not just to force the average person to vote for the Nazis in the elections (this was just not required now), but to subordinate his whole life, all his thinking to the Hitlerite state.

Various organizations are created in abundance, designed to cover all aspects of a person's life, to accompany him from a young nail to a ripe old age. The Hitler Youth is for young people, the National Socialist Women's Union is for representatives of the beautiful half of humanity, the German Labor Front is for all workers, "Strength through Joy" is for organizing the leisure of the Germans ... You can't list everything. And all these structures were aimed, in fact, at achieving one goal - domination over the souls of people - and in this regard they worked in a united team of propaganda.

Mass production of cheap "people's radios" began, which could receive only one wave - state broadcasting. Many films promoting Nazism were released annually. Sometimes openly, as, for example, in the famous "Triumph of the Will". Sometimes - in a latent form, as in numerous lyrical comedies. And it is no coincidence that every major film studio had a representative from Ahnenerbe: formally, he played the role of a consultant in the filming of films about the ancient Germans; in reality, he directed the propaganda line to the cinema.

It was the "Legacy of the Ancestors" that launched a huge, almost inconceivable campaign to prepare the German people for a new world war. After all, the previous one ended quite recently, and the memory of the terrible losses was still alive in every German (by the way, a similar memory among the French would be the reason for their rapid defeat in 1940). Ahnenerbe managed not only to defeat the fear of people about possible heavy losses, but also to make them believe that there is no alternative, that enemies have surrounded the country from all sides, and it is a sacred necessity to fight them. At the same time, the German soldiers retained faith in an inevitable victory until the very end, until May 1945. This is the highest achievement of the propagandists of the Reich, whose names are still hidden from us by a veil of secrecy.

However, this veil, like all the others, will sooner or later be slightly opened ...

The birth of a new faith

Nazism had its own leader, historical myth, administrative apparatus, its own army and laws. What else did he lack? Right! Religions.

Hitler hated Christianity. He considered him a bastard child of Judaism - this base Jewish religion, armed with which, the Jews conceived to conquer the whole world. The modern Church indulges in these filthy aspirations; she has absorbed too much of the Jewish, there is nothing Aryan about her. “Therefore,” sums up Hitler, “such a Church must be done away with. And in its place put a new, truly Germanic one ”.

These views of Hitler were supported and nourished by Dietrich Eckart. One of the founders of National Socialism, he preferred to remain in the shadows, being one of Hitler's main teachers. “He will dance, but I created the music for him,” Eckart will say on his deathbed (he died in 1923). Dietrich Eckart began to lay the foundations for a religion that would flourish in a victorious National Socialist state. His work was continued by others - those who would later become part of the "Anenerbe" collective.

Indeed, who, if not them, who studied the ancient Germanic history, culture and spirit of the Aryan ancestors, was to revive their original religion? The very Irminist faith that, according to legend, Christianity supplanted? Indeed, Irminism became just one of the religious concepts that were discussed within the institute. After all, there were several of them - similar in shape, but still quite different from each other. It was these disagreements that caused the world to never see a new, Nazi religion, which was supposed to become the antipode of Christianity.

However, this did not prevent, already in the early stages, from imparting religious features to Nazism itself. Mass processions, solemn oaths, "cathedrals" from the beams of searchlights directed into the night sky - all this appealed to the religious feelings of the Germans, forcing them to believe in their Fuhrer as in God. Complex ceremonies were prepared with pseudo-church chants, rhythmic chants, and specially selected color symbols. The participants in these ceremonies brought themselves to an ecstasy similar to a religious one, and the exclamation of "Heil!" became an analogue of either the Christian "Amen", or the Buddhist mantra.

Like the Church, the specialists of "Ahnenerbe" were able to use the psychological influence on the human consciousness of dusk, half-darkness, which is invariably associated with something mysterious, frightening, sacred. Hitler himself wrote in his book Mein Kampf:

In all such cases, one has to face the problem of influencing the free will of a person. This is especially true for mass meetings, where there are always people whose will is opposed to the will of the speaker and who need to impose a new way of thinking. In the morning and in the daytime, the power of human will with the most powerful energy resists any attempts of someone else's will and opinions to influence it. On the contrary, in the evening she easily obeys the pressure of a firm will ... The mysterious artificial twilight that reigns in Catholic churches also serves this purpose - like burning candles, incense ...

Many researchers believe that the Third Reich sought to become a state-church, to replace religion with its ideology. To some extent, this is true: the deification of Hitler himself went beyond all conceivable limits. However, this was not exactly what he wanted. National Socialism, no matter how you modify it, still remained a secular ideology. A church was also needed — a church in which the Fuhrer could be the high priest. After all, he is not immortal, like the gods, but must grant immortality to his “thousand-year-old Reich”. Standing on two legs - ideology and religion - would be much easier for the new state.

Ultimately, in 1934, Hitler gave the Ahnenerbe specialists a direct order: to start developing the foundations of a new religion. After long disputes, the experts nevertheless came to a common opinion and worked out a rather lengthy document, the author of which was the former professor of theology E. Bergman. The document was rather of a compromise and temporary nature. Bergman did not intend to create a doctrine of a gigantic scale. He was faced with a much more modest task: to carry out the order of the Fuehrer.

What did the Ahnenerbe Institute offer? Nothing particularly original. The Jewish Old Testament is no good for the new Germany. He distorts the image of the historical Christ, who, of course, was an Aryan. Called to save the world from the Jewish plague, he was crucified by his vile opponents. But since his image became very popular among the common people, the Jews hastened to appropriate this hero for themselves. For almost two thousand years they have succeeded; but now a new messiah has been sent to Earth - Adolf Hitler, who has to complete the work that Christ did not cope with: to cleanse and save the world from the Jews.

True, Germanic Christianity, according to Bergman, existed long before the coming of Christ. It has almost died out, but it is quite possible to revive it to a new life. Instead of the Jewish cross, the swastika should become a sign of the new faith. The sacred land of true Christians is not Palestine, but Germany. German soil, blood, soul, art are sacred. It is on this land that the rebirth of the true, Aryan Christianity should take place, which should spread from here throughout the entire Earth ... of course, together with the Aryans themselves. Missionary activity among other nations was not envisaged: the Church was to remain purely national. It is precisely the attempt to create a universal Church that is one of the main claims that Bergman and his comrades made against Christianity.

What other claims were advanced by these pundits? In general, in its criticism of Christianity, "Legacy of the Ancestors" was based on the ideas of Nietzsche. Firstly, Christianity protects the weak and humiliated, which means it prevents natural selection in society, makes it sick. Secondly, Christian dogmas of forgiveness of sin, resurrection and salvation of the soul are complete nonsense. Compassion and mercy are harmful, because they are a manifestation of weakness, unworthy and dangerous for a strong Aryan spirit.

It also proposed a plan of concrete actions to introduce a new religion in the country. Let me quote him a little:

1. The National Church demands to immediately stop the publication and distribution of the Bible in the country.

2. The National Church will remove from its altars all crucifixes, Bibles and images of saints.

3. Altars should contain nothing but Mein Kampf and a sword.

4. On the day of the founding of the National Church, the Christian cross must be removed from all churches, cathedrals and chapels and replaced with a single invincible symbol - the swastika.

Hitler liked the project, however, being a rather sane person, he understood what a storm of indignation it would cause among German Christians. He did not need a split in society on the eve of the big war. Therefore, the Christian Church, albeit infringed in many rights, continued to function quite legally and almost unhindered. Moreover, Catholic and Protestant priests were not ashamed to support the regime and use the labor of Russian slaves driven from the east.

Hitler decided to introduce a new religion gradually: to start with the order of the SS, from the party, and only then extend it to the whole people. And soon party rituals really began to gradually transform into sacred rites; such were, for example, ceremonies associated with the already mentioned "Banner of Blood".

Blood generally played a central role in the ideology and racial doctrine of the Nazis. It should have played the same role in their religion. After the Nazis came to power within the walls of "Ahnenerbe", a special ritual of "consecration of the banners" was developed, which was held by all party and SS banners. French researcher Michel Tournier describes this custom, which dates back to Hitler's "beer coup".

End of introductory snippet.

Hitler was born on April 20, 1889 in Branau, a city considered by many to be a kind of "nursery" for mediums. In any case, Willie and Rudy Schneider were born here, whose psychological experiences at one time became world famous. If the gift of a medium can be passed on to an infant through breast milk, then it is appropriate to note that Hitler had the same nurse as the famous Willie Schneider.
At school, Adolf did not differ much success, but his teacher remembered for the rest of his life the strange look of a teenager, which made the teacher in awe. Professor H. R. Trevor-Roper, a former intelligence officer, writes: "Hitler had the eyes of a hypnotist who suppresses the mind and senses of all who fall under his spell." J. Brennan in the book "The Occult Reich" describes a striking case. One Englishman, a true patriot of Britain, who does not know German, while listening to the Fuehrer's speeches, involuntarily began to stretch his hand in a Nazi greeting and shout "Heil Hitler!" along with the electrified crowd ...
Those close to Hitler repeatedly recalled that in his presence they completely lost the initiative, falling under the influence of his magnetism.
* * *
It is believed that in addition to the abilities of a hypnotist, Hitler also had a prophetic gift. In any case, the astrological charts of the Fuhrer speak about it. Even during the First World War, Hitler told an army psychiatrist about a supernatural vision, from which it followed that he was to lead Germany and restore its former glory ... For an unknown corporal, this was, to put it mildly, a bold statement. But it, nevertheless, came true 15 years later!
The incident that occurred on November 8, 1939 in the Munich beer cellar "Bürgerbrau" is also considered to be a confirmation of Hitler's ability to foresee the future. Speaking here in front of his comrades-in-arms, Hitler made a shorter than usual speech and immediately left, which he had not done before. Shortly after his departure, an explosion broke out in the cellar, seven people were killed and 16 were injured. If the explosion caught Hitler on the podium, he would inevitably die. Why did he shorten the speaking time and change his habit of communicating with colleagues? Did you foresee the danger or, as some historians suggest, was this attempt staged to increase the popularity of the Fuhrer?
In any case, Hitler once said: "I escaped death several times, but by no means by chance, an inner voice warned me, and I immediately took action." Hitler believed in this inner voice for the rest of his life.
* * *
The rearmament of the German army, the occupation of the demilitarized Rhineland, the annexation of Austria, the occupation of the Czech Republic and Moravia, the invasion of Poland - any of these actions between 1933 and 1939 should have led to a war with France and Great Britain, a war in which Germany did not have no chance of winning. However, Hitler seemed to know that the Allies would be inactive, and boldly gave orders, from which the generals of the Wehrmacht were covered with sticky sweat. It was then that Hitler's entourage developed a mystical belief in his unearthly destiny and prophetic gift.
But did Hitler really open the picture of the future? J. Brennan believes that the Fuhrer, like the shamans, entered a special ecstatic state that allowed him to see the future.
In a fit of rage, Hitler often became almost insane. In a person in this state, as shown by biochemical analysis, the content of adrenaline and carbon dioxide in the blood increases sharply. This can lead to changes in the brain and access to new levels of consciousness. “Intoxication of this kind brought Hitler to the point,” writes J. Brennan, “that he could throw himself on the floor and start chewing on the edge of the carpet - this behavior was observed among Haitians who surrendered to the power of spirits when performing magical rituals. This led to the fact that he was given the nickname "Carpet-eater."
However, the Fuhrer's prophetic abilities disappeared when German troops invaded the territory of the USSR. Maybe it was the Russian Saints who put their own barrier to the influence of dark forces?
The stars were the first to betray the Fuhrer ... According to the forecast of German astrologers, the winter of 1941-1942 should have been very mild. But first, the Germans got stuck in the mud of our country roads, and then severe frosts hit. At times the temperature dropped to minus 40 degrees ... Even the gunpowder did not explode, but only hissed, the fuel decomposed, and the German soldiers dressed like summer simply froze to death in the vastness of Russia. Thus began the decline of the Third Reich.

In 1896, the English writer M. Chiel published a short story in which he spoke about a monstrous gang of criminals who robbed and destroyed Europe, killed and burned the corpses of people whom they considered harmful to the progress of mankind. The visionary writer entitled his work ... “S. WITH. "!
Under the SS, the Ahnenerbe functioned - a kind of Academy of Sciences of the Third Reich, which included 50 scientific institutions... They studied the practice of the occult, the activities of secret societies, the ways of using astrology and alchemy, and looked for ancient magical secrets. Numerous expeditions to Tibet and other regions of the world were equipped to search for various relics and occult knowledge ...
“The list of problems,” write Jacques Bergier and Louis Povel in the book “Morning of the Magicians”, “the study of which required enormous expenses from Ahnenerbe, is amazing: the symbolic meaning of the rejection of the harp in Ulster's music, the occult meaning of the Gothic turrets of Oxford and top hat at Eton ... In 1943, shortly after the fall of the Mussolini regime, the head of the SS Himmler gathered in a villa in the vicinity of Berlin the largest occultists of Germany, so that they secretly discovered the place where the arrested Duce was being held. The meetings of the General Staff began with sessions of yogic concentration ",
Jacques Bergier and Louis Popel came up with the idea that during the years of fascism a special civilization was formed on the territory of Germany, completely different from the world around it. With this civilization of black magicians, possessed by demons, our fathers, grandfathers and great-grandfathers had to come together in a bloody battle.

On April 20 this year, the main fascist of Germany, Adolf Hitler, would have turned 112 years old. There is much debate about the significance of this figure in world history, but we will refrain from accusing or approving of his wars of conquest and racist beliefs. Let's better try to understand why the mystically inclined Hitler, contrary to the prophecies of the "court fortune-tellers" and common sense, nevertheless attacked Russia.

In the FORMATION of the ideology of the Third Reich, mysticism and, in particular, the idea of ​​the origin of the Aryan race from the ancient powerful Atlanteans and their descendants, the Hyperboreans, played a huge role. Mysterious Tibet, the mythical homeland of the legendary Shambhala, attracted the Fuhrer with ancient secrets.

We asked Professor Ernst Muldashev, a researcher of this mysterious country, to comment on Hitler's interest in Tibet:

Hitler would not have attacked what he believed was "dense" Russia. However, our country was for him only a path to Tibet. The German scientist Hans Gorbiger with his theory of cosmic ice had a very great influence on the formation of Hitler's worldview. According to Gorbiger, our time was preceded by a civilization fabulous in scope and power that existed for thousands of years. The giant people who lived in those days had many slaves. But civilization died as a result of the flood. The scientist believed that someday people, having gone through colossal catastrophes and mutations, will become as powerful as their ancestors. To save humanity, Gorbiger proposed giving power to the Aryan race as the most powerful.

Before Hitler came to power, he often spoke with a Tibetan lama who lived in Berlin. Lama was called "the man with green gloves", and the initiates called him "the holder of the keys to the kingdom of Agharti". Agharti in German sounds like Asgard - the legendary land of the northern aces gods. A powerful spiritual organization, the Thule Society, of which Hitler was a member, is associated with the mysterious kingdom of Agharti. Its founders, scientists Eckart and Haushofer, argued that a high civilization flourished in the Gobi desert 30-40 centuries ago. During the global catastrophe, not all of its representatives died. The rest went to the Himalayan caves and divided into two parts. Some called their center Agharti (center of goodness), indulged in contemplation and do not interfere in earthly affairs. According to legends, the inhabitants of Agharti are still in caves. The latter founded the country of Shambhala (the center of power and violence, governing the world), which is a repository of unknown forces accessible only to initiates. Some of the Gobians allegedly migrated to the north of Europe and the Caucasus and are the ancestors of the Aryan race. Therefore, only the Aryan race could conclude an alliance with Agharti and Shambhala and master the secrets of controlling subtle energy, which allow them to learn, for example, to turn multi-ton boulders with their eyes.

From all these ideas, Hitler formulated the theory of "magic socialism", according to which people rise to a new stage of development every 700 years. The harbinger of the transformation of races is the appearance of giant magicians. The true race, called upon to learn the next cycle, Hitler considered the Aryans. Their lot is an epic led by "higher unknowns". Other people, according to the Fuhrer, are only outwardly similar to humans, but they are further from the Aryans than animals. Therefore, he did not consider the extermination of Jews, Gypsies, etc., a crime against humanity. By order of Hitler, a special institute "Ahnenerbe" was organized, which organized expeditions to Tibet in search of legendary countries.

During the last expedition to Tibet, we came to the place of Titarapari - the legendary Tibetan Babylon, where, according to the lamas, the entrance to the mysterious Shambhala is located. Now you can understand why several expeditions equipped by Hitler suffered a fiasco in Tibet. This place is very strong, mystical. Unexplained things are happening there, and a person risks dying in "accursed Babylon". So, even if Hitler's envoys found the door to the world of the mighty Hyperboreans, they were overtaken by death.
