Summary:
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 re-imagining 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.
The International Spy Museum opened in Washington, DC in 2002. It is the only public museum in the United States solely dedicated to espionage and the only one in the world to provide a global perspective on an all-but-invisible profession that has shaped history and continues to have a significant impact on world events.
Our mission is to educate the public about espionage and intelligence in an engaging way.
