Hitler's Monsters: A Supernatural History of the Third Reich

On this All Hallows’ Eve, a special Halloween look at last week’s program – “Hitler’s Monsters”. The Nazi fascination with the occult is legendary, and in reality the supernatural was an essential part of 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.

Join Eric Kurlander, professor of history at Stetson University and author of Hitler’s Monsters: A Supernatural History of the Third Reich, for an eye-opening look at the occult ideas, esoteric sciences, and pagan religions touted by Nazi Germany in the service of power.
