The Occult Foundations of Nazism: The Thule Group and the Vril Society:
These two groups were relatively small but their influence on history was profound. It is not too much to claim that without them Hitler would never have come to power in Germany. Most of the early leaders of the Nazi Party belonged either to the Thule Group or the Vril Society or, in many cases, both. Their influence on Hitler’s thinking and the subsequent course of the Third Reich was enormous. The two organisations were steeped in occultism and while Thule mainly believed in the existence of a lost continent whose descendants became the ancestors of the Aryan race Vril believed in the existence of superior beings who lived in an underground world at the centre of the earth and possessed the secret of a mysterious force called Vril power. The society’s members attempted to learn the mastery of Vril so that when the subterranean beings emerged on to the surface of earth its members would be their equals rather than their slaves. Claims have also been made that the groups received telepathic messages from Aldebaran and were able to build flying saucers.
