I think people are always looking for some religious cause, some 
ultimate belief cause, for what motivated Hitler. Some see him as a 
visionary returning with eternal values from the past; others see him 
as evil for doing the same things the Allies later would do. I don't 
know. But the question of occultism, and why it appeals, and how it 
exists beyond Judeo-Christian morality, is quite interesting. I 
haven't seen enough of the history channel to understand much of 
their sense.

But one thing is for sure - Hitler DOES crop up a lot, doesn't he? 
Even in GR :)
