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 :)
