This work investigates the intersection of occult belief systems and the political ideology of the Third Reich, specifically examining how mystical traditions influenced Nazi leadership. Jean-Michel Angebert utilizes historical documentation and analysis of esoteric movements to argue that the Nazi party was not merely a political entity but a movement deeply rooted in occultist, pagan, and pseudo-historical mythologies. The text explores the search for artifacts like the Holy Grail as a manifestation of these ideological underpinnings.

This book is frequently cited as a notable early exploration of the esoteric roots of National Socialism. Scholars and readers often note that while the text provides a compelling narrative regarding the occult influences on the regime, it should be approached as a thematic study rather than a strictly academic historical record.
