Qual è stato il ruolo della magia nella storia del Terzo Reich? Quanto hanno influito occultismo ed esoterismo sulle scelte di Hitler? Quali sono i presupposti dell'ideologia neonazista ancora oggi così viva? Su questi e su tanti altri inquietanti interrogativi indaga Satana e la svastica: una storia completa ed esaustiva dei retroscena e delle radici più oscure del movimento nazista, che mostra come il pensiero di un'ampia rete di occultisti diffusa in tutta Europa tra Ottocento e Novecento abbia influenzato notevolmente Hitler. Con grande imparzialità e sguardo distaccato ma penetrante , Levenda vaglia prove e testimonianze e descrive minuziosamente azioni e pensiero di quella schiera di occultisti che si raccolsero intorno al nazismo come simpatizzanti o protagonisti attivi, anche di primissimo piano (è il caso di Himmler e delle sue 88) . Dopo la fine della guerra e il crollo del Reich, l'autore segue le tracce dei nazisti in Germania e fuori, dalle «colonie» naziste sudamericane ai gruppi giovanili di neonazisti , skinhead e sette sataniche protagonisti di tristi episodi di cronaca contemporanea.

In June of 1979, Peter Levenda flew to Chile--then under martial law--to investigate claims that a mysterious colony and torture center in the Andes Mountains held a key to the relationship between Nazi ideology and its post-war survival on the one hand, and occult ideas and practices on the other. He was detained there briefly and released with a warning: "You are not welcome in this country." The people who warned him were not Chileans but Germans, not government officials but agents of the assassination network Operation Condor. They were also Nazis, providing a sanctuary for men like Josef Mengele, Hans-Ulrich Rudel, and Otto Skorzeny. In other words: ODESSA. Published in 1995, Unholy Alliance was the first book in English on the subject of Nazi occultism to be based on the captured Nazi archives themselves, as well as on the author's personal investigations and interviews, often conducted under dangerous conditions. The book attracted the attention of historians and journalists the world over and has been translated into six languages. A later edition boasts the famous foreword by Norman Mailer. How did occultism come to play such an important role in the development of Nazi political ideology? What influence did such German and Austrian occult leaders as Lanz von Liebenfels and Guido von List have over the fledgling Nazi party? What was the Thule Gesellschaft, and who was its creator, Baron von Sebottendorf? Did the Nazi high command really believe in occultism? In astrology? In magic and reincarnation? This is a new and expanded edition of the original text, with much additional information on the rise of extremist groups in Europe, Latin America, Asia, and the United States and the esoteric beliefs that are at their foundations. It is the first book in a trilogy that includes Ratline and The Hitler Legacy. This is where it all began. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
