Have you ever heard that the Nazis were obsessed with the occult? Thanks to pop culture icons like Indiana Jones and Hellboy, many of us grew up with that idea. While it may seem like a Hollywood exaggeration, recent historical research reveals a deeper truth—Nazi ideology was steeped in supernatural beliefs and pseudoscience. These fringe ideas and theories of Aryan origins influenced their policies and fueled their violent worldview creating dangerous beliefs in the Third Reich that played a critical role in shaping history.
