A nazi hymn proclaimed "the time of the Cross is gone now, the sun whisk shall arise and so with God we shall be free at last and give our people back our honor." In a scene from the video series, "the occult history of the 3rd reich", the Hitler youth cry, "no evil priest can convince us we are not the children of Hitler.' This is a story about desperate people who chose to believe "a big lie." In this essay, I speak to you about fascism, the reasons for it and the results of it.

Webster's dictionary defines fascism as a political movement that exalts nation and race, a dictatorship that imposes severe economic and social regimentation while forcibly suppressing opposition. German fascism, known as National Socialism, was born in the occult, about the mission of Aryan man, the mystery of the blood, & the soul of the race. The events of the time & the myths underlying the movement fanned the flames burning throughout Nazi Germany.

With Hitler as messiah, the swastika or sun whisk was everywhere. William Shirer in "The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich" writes that the giant rallies at Nuremberg united the people, the party and their leader. The theme of the 1934 rally was "the triumph of the will." At the climax of the rally, a display of over 30,000 swastikas. In Tibetan myth, the swastika symbolized the god of the sun, fire, and creation. In Mein Kampf, Hitler writes..." in the swastika we see the mission for the struggle for the victory of Aryan man." In one of his speeches he said, " the mission was not given to us by a worldly superior, but by the God who created our nation."

By the late 1920's, the swastika and the Aryan myth circulated through Europe. This imagery fascinated the German people whose lives were rapidly changing. By 1900, industrial slums invaded elegant German cities. The slums swelled as poor peasants sought factory jobs. The industrial revolution promised a brave new world led by science, technology and democracy. The landowners' power weakened as industrialists and financiers became the new ruling class. Workers rallied for democracy and socialism. Established religious beliefs were challenged by science and increasing materialism. Out of the chaos grew nostalgia for the past. German and Austrian societies lead a romantic revival of ancient German myths, encouraging a mystical love for the countryside, folklore & ritual. Many rejected science and medicine as products of the industrial revolution. They advocated vegetarianism, herbal healing, communal living, nudism and meditation. In the cities, cults devoted to spiritualism, astrology, magic and the occult multiplied.

In 1888, after visiting Tibet, Russian telepath Helena Blavatsky wrote "The Secret Doctrine." She believed the Aryan race fell from pure spirit into darkness by mixing with inferior races. She wrote that the race of hope that once founded the culture of ancient Greece would rise again. Prior to WW I, Austrian clairvoyant Guido von Liszt preached that materialism and democracy was destroying the modern world. To him, the soul of the German race was in the myth of the God Wotan. Liszt combined Aryan doctrine with German myth and German fascism was born. He inspired the people by predicting victory on the battlefield and a new German empire.

From the opening days of WW I, the German people hoped for union. But, the new technological weapons brought them defeat. The war and its outcome undermined the government and the economy. Many thought Germany conquered from within by capitalists, democrats and Jews. Anarchy ruled as factions warred against one other. One of these groups, the wealthy and powerful Thule society was extremely nationalistic & anti Semitic. In Jan 1919, a Thule member formed the German Workers Party. In Sept. 1919, an army spy was sent to attend a meeting. This spy was 30 yr. old war veteran Adolf Hitler. Within weeks he had joined & become an influential party member. A new name, the National Socialist German Workers Party and the swastika emblem were adopted.

The Runes, an ancient magical alphabet, also figured in Nazi symbolism. The Hitler Youth wore the sieg victory rune, the SS emblem was the dopple (or double) sieg, and in the SS graveyard, the man rune tombstones replaced the Cross.

Systematically, occult symbols and doctrines were forced on the people. In 1937, the Nazis celebrated the ancient history of the Aryan and the mystery of the sacred swastika. The League of German maidens performed religious rites from a mythical Aryan past. In the schools, the Christian gospels were replaced by readings from Hitler's book, Mein Kampf. Books considered heretical by the Nazis were burned. By 1939, the word Christmas was banned from books; No references to Christ, angels or shepherds was allowed. Rather, the power of the sun was emphasized. Christmas was made into a festival of light; the summer solstice into a holy day. The night sky was filled with the glow of nocturnal fire rituals. Even the "blood flag" carried by the SS was considered a sacred relic.

Unfortunately, human life was not sacred to the Nazi. Their cruelty was a perversion of Darwinism. In "The Descent of Man", Darwin suggested the human race protect itself as does nature through natural selection or "survival of the fittest." Eugenics, a movement favoring the physically, intellectually, and morally fit, started in America and spread to Britain and Germany. There, Yorg Luntz combined Aryan occultism and eugenics into theozoology, an occult religion of race, popularly known as racial hygiene. Lunz published a journal called "Ostara." Since the age of 20, Adolf Hitler had been one of Lunz' most avid readers.

Hitler demanded strict laws ensuring purity of race enforced by the SS race and resettlement bureau. Records of ancestry, skull shape, hair color & eye color were all used in determining the presence of Aryan blood. Full rights were granted only to male Aryan heads of family. Polygamy was encouraged to increase the birth rate, so eugenic "convents" were set up where Aryan females and SS "supermen" carried out their orders to extend the race. Pure blooded Aryans couldn't marry Jews or any non Aryans, who were branded as mere subjects of the state. The racially impure and mentally unfit were sterilized. The so-called "inferior" races were deported to concentration camps and forced into slave labor or executed.

While supervising this insanity, the SS was transformed from Hitler's elite guard to the racial elite of the new order. The SS was a state within a state, Proper Aryan family lineage from 1750 was required for membership. The most perfect living examples of the Aryan race were not allowed even a single filled tooth. Members swore obedience and loyalty to the death as the incorruptible guardians of racial purity. SS leader Heinrich Himmler believed himself the reincarnation of King Heinrich the 1st, king of the Saxons who fought and conquered the Slavic tribes of the east. Himmler saw the SS as a mystical order of teutonic knights destined to vanquish the Russians before colonizing the East with pure blooded Germans. History was written differently although, as the Russians came from the east as victors to overrun Berlin.

The 1000 year Reich lasted only 12 years. The 3rd Reich was based on occult philosophy, German mythology, the applied theories of Darwin's natural selection and eugenics and radical nationalism. German fascism failed. The Nazis were soundly defeated in battle by soldiers of predominately Judeo-Christian tradition. The Nazi leaders took their own lives, the ultimate act of cowardice and disgrace.

The gift of eternal life is freely given to those who trust in Jesus as their savior. Those who believe, pray, read the Bible and allow themselves to grow in spirit and truth by trusting in Jesus and in the guidance of the Holy Spirit are brought into the family of God and will spend eternity with Him. You can read more about Jesus in the Gospel of John.
