|  | Hitler & the Occult by Ken Anderson
Did the Holy Lance, which is said to have pierced the side of Jesus Christ, take center stage in Hitler`s life as the focal point of his ambitions to conquer the world? Was there some mystical meaning behind Rudolf Hess`s flight to Britain, Hitler`s extrasensory perception, the Nazi swastika, the superman who haunted the Fuhrer, the use of Nostradamus in propaganda, and the Nazi astrological propaganda war? Anderson examines Hitler`s alleged ties to the occult. ... provides a much-needed debunking of these legends... -- Booklist AUTHOR: Ken Anderson
