Pop Nazi Occultism

"Books written about Nazi occultism between 1960 and 1975 were typically sensational and under-researched. A complete ignorance of the primary sources was common to most authors and inaccuracies and wild claims were repeated by each newcomer to the genre until an abundant literature existed, based on wholly spurious 'facts' concerning the powerful Thule Society, the Nazi links with the East, and Hitler's occult initiation."

-- From Appendix E: "The Modern Mythology of Nazi Occultism", in The Occult Roots of Nazism, Nicholas Goodrich-Clarke, 1985/2004, p. 224-225.
