Following on from a reading list which I recommended on this subject some weeks back, below I have linked to the best documentaries on the authentic "occultism" of the Third Reich.
Increasingly, I see well-produced but sensationalist accounts of post-WWII lunatic fringe theories posted on YouTube. The theories in these documentaries do not have their roots in the National Socialist Weltanschauung but in what the Allies speculated to be at work behind that worldview, often with distortions of what motivated the Third Reich. This is a bad approach all round. If, as many makers claim, they are making these documentaries in the spirit of "Never Again" (itself a Nazi slogan referring to Communist incursions into Wiemar Germany) it would be wisest to deal with what actually led to the war rather than fantasies about UFOs and Hollow Earth.
The documentaries below are the best of the best on this subject. They are mostly British and American though sensationalism (sadly inescapable in its entirety) is kept to a minimum and the emphasis is on the metastasisation of ideas from Romanticism to the esoteric dimensions of the Völkisch movement to German state policy.
Ah, I have a few more links but cannot post more than two pieces of media in one post. I shall share incrementally in that case.
The following clips are some of the very few dealing with the . One of the clips makes the ridiculous claim that the Nazis were studying witch trials in order to discover torture methods. They were, instead, considering whether the witch trials were an attempt by the church to exterminate the Germanic people through femicide.
I would also strongly recommend the Third Reich produced art film Ewiger Wald ('The Enchanted Forest'). This film was made to educate the public on the organic relationship between the forest and the folk. As such it demonstrates the esoteric impulses of the Third Reich in practical terms. I cannot embed it but you can watch it with English subtitles .
