‎Jean-Michel Angebert‎
‎The Occult and the Third Reich. The Mystical Origins of Nazism and The Search for the Holy Grail‎

‎New York, Macmillan Publishing Co, Inc., 1974. First American edition. Octavo, 213 x 146 mm, (xix) 306 pp. Hardcover with dust jacket, brown cloth jackets. Includes a section of black and white photo reproductions at the end of the book. With notes, bibliography and an index. "This book reveals how strange and mystical cults influenced Adolf Hitler, and how the National Socialist movement was linked to and sprang from the ancient Catharist tradition. Pursuing the dualistic reasoning of Catharism to monstrous consequences, Anton Drexler, Dietrich Eckart, Rudolf Hess and Adolf Hitler - all members and associate brothers of the occult Thule Group - interpreted the forces of light as fair-haired Aryans, asserting that they must destroy the forces of darkness incarnated by the dark-complexed Semites."
