Norse paganism without the Christian influence is more based around Plato’s concept of Greek reason, im pagan and I was able to resist coming under the influence of the Nazis thanks to Aristotles philosophy who was also pagan
@@TheImperatorKnightI still think the whole Marxism / Socialism thing was a disguise to get the workers on board with the movement and weaken the left (also gnostic) sects. I think the NS really were Theosophists, i.e. Gnostics and as you lay out, as such specifically nordic pagans.
Evola was not a neo-Nazi, he was not even a Nazi in the first place. He wrote a book in which he criticizes the Third Reich and fascism (criticism of fascism from the right). Ebola was a traditionalist and he was indeed a pagan but saw the idea of a "master race" as a spiritual concept and not a physical one. He criticized the primitive racism of the Nazis with the measurement of noses and skulls.

That's typical. In the 43 minute Hitler's Socialism video, they couldn't even be bothered to watch 60 seconds of it before trying to counter the whole video with an argument I countered 60 seconds into the video 🤦♂️
Well they could have fair points about the introduction and it's quality. That they don't isn't proof quick responses are worthless, just that they are quick to respond with bad arguments.
I've been reading A.H.'s book and he mentions several times about how he wanted to keep Volkisch role players out of the movement, commenting negatively about men, 'sporting flowing beards amd indulging in ancient German gestures', and that those with true Volkisch beliefs were of the National Socilaist movement and that the other German Parties only began adopting the Volkisch language and ideas because they were becoming popular, "Our party above all, by the success of its propaganda, has shown the force of the folk idea; so much so that the others, in an effort to gain proselytes, find themselves forced to copy our example, at least in words".
One difficulty with the Word "Völkisch" same with "Postmodernism" is that it stands for Architecture and Design styles. But also for political philosophies... I have a book from 1900 about the Architekture of Farming houses in the Reich. "Völkisch" used in the book completely different. - Also about 1900 historizism was en vogue in Architekture. You find in Scandinavia a lot of building with "Viking Ornaments" from that time 1900s. - That H. Did most probably refer to that trend of the time. Basically the Bourgeoise luxury of historical ornaments and production traditions.
@@ultorm4223 I read the book Tik shows in this video about the Occult influences and the made up nonsense they believed in, and then, reading H's book, he talks about a set of people that put me in mind of Von List et al, I think he called them buffoons, people who had spent forty years talking about folk/volk ideas and achieving nothing. A.H. evidently saw himself as the real deal and wanted nothing to do with them. Obviously I can't say for certain that Tik is correct, but, there does seem to be a ring of truth in the possibility.
Comically superficial and ignorant comparison. The only thing these corny, delusional socialists had in common with SPQR was the Eagle symbol they stole.
It wasn't,they didn't tolerate the iudeo christian god. Also Romans were pragmatic and tolerant. They integrated the existing population in their civilization they didn't sent them in concentration camps. Der Reich was the opposite of Roman Empire, that why it lost.
@Kannot2023 What? if that's your idea of Roman history and the creation of the Roman Catholic empire and its history, then you missed a lot of their persecution of other Christian and Judaism. It was literally created out of de-jooing their country and religion. The Roman empire persecuted joos for hundreds of years.
A couple of problems with this. 1. Odin was not a God of war, conflict or death, he was a God of divine wisdom. Tyr was the Norse God of war and Hel was the Norse God of death. 2. The swastika was not Odin's symbol. It is a protective rune that was not inherently associated with Odin. 3. The Norse did not believe in world ice theory. They saw the world as one of 9 realms that were situated in the world tree. 4. Hitler always refers to God in the singular where Norse Pagans believe in multiple Gods and refer to them as “The Gods”. The fact Hitler never references multiple Gods or indicates that he believes in or worships multiple Gods is proof that he was not a Norse Pagan.
Recent archaeological evidence suggests a strong connection of the swastika to Odin. This is a point that Tom Rowsell has made too, who I consider a very good authority on this. Also, the Germans have many gods of war-goddesses also (Freyja for instance is associated with battle)-and their metaphysical portfolios are somewhat fluid. Tyr _and_ Odin are certainly gods of war.
@@JackSardonic it really depends on the time and exact version of the god. Odin to the Norse in 900AD is not the same as Woden to the Saxons in 500AD and not the same as Wotan to the Germans in 100BC

I have to disagree on the specificity of Odin. Hitler’s god was the All-Father. There’s a reason the word “Odin” wasn’t used! This All-Father was known to various Indo-European peoples (Greeks, Romans, Indo-Aryans, Iranians) in various forms and having their distinct flavour, and even though they do not all lineally trace back to the same deity - Odin does not descend from the lightning-wielding sky god which was the ancestor of Zeus and Jupiter for instance - they represent the same basic figure of the generic All-Father. The trait that Hitler must have associated with this god would be that of the natural order, from whom the healthy have the vital energy to prosper and self-further but which the ill lack and so do not self-further but terminate. To Hitler, the Aryans were His chosen people, and Hitler himself as His prophet destined to succeed in battle against the Jews. I also think Hitler didn’t believe in One God per se, but also believed in the energies of the entire pantheon which were personified as gods in a way that is not necessarily unreal.
Yes, it seems more likely to me that whatever religion Hitler expressed was just a pastiche of various fragmentary traditions that he could align to his own ideology. That is, Hitler's ideology did not flow from adherence to any pre-existing religion, rather Hitler's assorted icons and catechisms are little pieces of existing religions that he knitted together because they seemed to support the ideology he already had. All of these trinkets of belief superficially connect his own ideas to older ones and seem to lend ancient credence to his ideas, but are really meaningless. Still, as a mine for convenient symbols, Odin would work well for the Nazis. First, it seems to be related to their Germanic heritage, second it glorifies martial prowess, third, modern people have almost no idea what Odin worship really meant to pre-Christian and pre-Roman Germans, because nothing was written down until centuries later. It's very easy to impose whatever ideology you want on something that comes to us in such little fragments. So it's no surprise if in Hitler's big stew pot of ersatz tradition, Odin seems like the strongest spice.
Exactly. This is much more accurate to what Hitler believed in. Tik over simplifies it to one thing. And yes people mistakingly believe that all Pagans believe in a literal pantheon of gods as if they actually exist as living entities, because they are approaching it from a Judeo-Christian lens who believe that their god literally exists in this way. The pagan pantheon of deities are simply symbolic, and embody qualities and principals that are found within nature and humanity, which a narrative is then crafted around for storytelling reasons to teach lessons. So if you venerate or worship a certain god that embodies love or strength for instance, you are focusing on and venerating the principals and values that the particular god is being the embodiment of. So in this case evoking the principal of love or power. And this is what makes the gods real. For it's the principals and values that actually exist and are real, and have real world effects on the psyche of the individual and in the natural world. This is what Hitler was doing if he invoked the spirit of Odin for instance. To elicit strength, motivation, a warrior spirit that this god stood for. As well as being a national cultural unifier. As a people's native gods are an expression of one's own people and culture. It's a direct extension of the people themselves. This is true across the world, but what unifies all of them are the common truths or principles they represent. This is what also gives power to runes or symbols, for its the principals that the symbols reflect that make it powerful that then become "alive" in the psyche of the individual who affirms them. Overall, Hitler's god was his race, nation, and the principals of nature. He was in opposition to the Judaic god or Demiurge which is simply a reflection of the j*wish people themselves. Gnosticism and Greek thought certainly influenced his philosophy and values via the different philosophical and political thinkers he read, but the majority of his spiritual beliefs was ultimately one that was Germanic in origin and reflected the people of his race. You could call it Occult Aryan Mysticism, or variations of Germanic Paganism that Gnostic Christianity influenced. But it was ultimately a rejection of the Abrahamic faiths and an embracing of one's own ancestral religion and values. That's what is key.

TIK, I don’t know if you’ve identified this yet, but your description of the World Ice Theory and the destruction of a greater civilization through an ice meteor event sounds EXACTLY like Graham Hancock’s Youger Dryas Impact Theory. I don’t know if you’ve heard Graham on Joe Rogan, but my god, his theory sounds exactly like the one you described.
Indeed. That's why perhaps there is actually something significant to it. More than the current "reputable" scientific establishment is willing to admit.
Eh, I wouldn't say Hancocks theory is 'the same'. A comet hitting the Earth is something that actual science can prove or disprove, the 'world ice theory' stuff is nuts. It's like having a serious discussion about the Fermi Paradox and what alien biology might be like based on what we know about exoplanets and then sitting it next to the guy living in a trailer park who rants about how the Greys abducted him and probed his ass. Both are discussions about aliens, but one is sane and rational, the other is probably just a meth addict. Neither Alien life nor pre-Sumner civilization discussions get a lot of traction in mainstream academia and unless you Harvard tenured professor Avi Loeb no one gives your research papers the light of day. Hancock is making legitimate points and doing so (mostly) within the realms of science. I'm not going to get into the ayahuasca crap, I firmly disagree with him on that line of thinking but the idea of a cometary impact does make sense. Hitler and his cult of nutcases also did stumble onto provable science mired in their occult rambling nonsense a couple of times. The 'ayran' race that spread from Scandinavia to Northern India was in fact real, it was the Proto-Indo Europeans. There's no way the National Socialists could have known about the genetic links, they pieced it together thro linguistics I think. They actually used this as part of a twisted justification for why everything to the east 'belonged' to Germany, they thought it all belonged to an ancient german empire at some point and that's why the languages had a common root. It's really ironic that the PIE people came from what is now Ukraine, not Northwest Europe and I get a chuckle out how pissed Hitler would be if he found out that Ukraine actually has a claim on Germany as it's colony, not the other way around. Anyway, World Ice Theory is probably just another case of this. The crazy fucks saw a link no one else did before but were too insane to actually apply scientific principles to understand it. These are the same guys that thought Jews secretly controlled both the Capitalist and Communist ideologies, insane delusions were the norm for them.
Which is why many people call it a "racist" theory, they harken it to people like the Nazis. Quite frankly, Graham Hancock waves away and ignores swathes of evidence to get to his conclusions. His "theory" has no reasonable conclusions based off the full actual evidence. He is a grifter who writes science fiction novels and calls it non-fiction to sell books and make TV shows, and it has been very lucrative for him.
Calling Odin the god of Death and War is an oversimplification, in fact I would say it's such an insufficient description of the Norse God of All Gods as to be incorrect. He's not like Ares/Mars, [the most despised of the Greek gods along with Eris] Odin is much more like Jupiter or Zeus than the would be to Hades or Ares. ..Tik I think you are chasing a dragon here. I don't mean to sound glib, but I [honestly] think James Lindsay took you under his spell. And I don't think you're looking at the contrary evidence with equal measure. It's a cool hypothesis, don't get me wrong, and it does make one think. But I wouldn't die on that hill.
The Nazi's twisted it into their own perception of what it was before. From their fascist and elitist views, they enforced their version of it. There was the Nazi's version and there is the Norse version. I do not think the Nazi's wanted to go to Valhalla. I believe their twisted view was to return to the dark star in some of the books. Hence the crazy Nazi UFO theories and the Bell project. It just leads to more mysteries. There was a book on the Emerald tablets that mentioned a few lost Atlantean words. One of which was Agwanti which I remember reading the definition was 'Ones ability to perceive what is written without being manipulated by ones own thoughts in the readings'. It was something like that. I can't find that book either but I found the note I jotted down years ago. The word was Agwanti and if you were not ready for the knowledge you could be mislead by it. That's about where I needed a break. I'm not worthy.
Confusion arises because Odin/Woden/Wotan/Wotanaz is a version of a god worshiped by many Germanic peoples for a very very long period of time and so his attributes change over time and with different nations. Wotanaz(an earlier version closer to Roman times from germany) was much more a god of death and war, the wolf god, god of battle frenzy. The Norse Odin is shifted much more to a wise old wizard archetype. The Anglo-Saxon Woden is also not exactly the same as either of them
Hades is not a correct analog to any version of Odin as far as I know. Mars and Jupiter would be the closest. He probably originated from the same god as Ares and Mars I think
@@alexdunphy3716 I think Thor is Ares. ..They don't really translate perfectly like Roman/Greek seem to though...But if someone asked me Odin is the god of ____? What one word would I put there. And to your point, that word in my mind might be "war," but I wouldn't say death, even though there is a direct relation. Odin is not the God of death because Odin himself dies at Ragnarok.
Been waiting for the 'Dismanteling Fasicm' video. i have not expected a new video about the National Socialism religion. A surprise to be sure but a welcome one.
Nice video TIK. What I ultimately took away from this was that H1t3r ultimately operated on what we would call “vibes” today. He followed in the footsteps of Blavatsky and took bits of this tradition and that tradition. He seemed to want to avoid any real scholarly analysis on a historically accurate system of belief.
5 years ago, i was a Marxist. I was subscribed to TIK because his videos made the Soviet Union look good. Then he started arguing Hitler was a Socialist and i got triggered and unsubscribed. Fast forward to today, i have grown past Marxism entirely, as you do after you start working, and returned to follow the channel. Soon after i return, TIK drops this video on my Pagan ass. At this point it just feels like TIK is going out of his way to make me like Hitler or something.
Hitler was a theist at most with pantheistic worldview, he probably was also fond on Nietzsche Übermensch philosophy, he despised Christianity but also ridiculed the return to worship old pagan gods as proposed by Rosenberg and Himmler although he used ethnic pagan symbology as a sort of cultural expression.
People often ignore how much of a cynic the painter was, they just cling to the symbology and make assumptions since they do not understand the mindset behind the use of ancient symbolism.
« On Easter Sunday, April 1, Mussolini had a talk about Hitler with his old friend of forty years, Ottavio Dinale. He recalled a meeting in the library of Hitler's Alpine retreat at Berchtesgaden at which Hitler showed him a row of volumes in red morocco leather by philosophers and German occultists. Of the many philosophers, Hitler admitted he had read fully only Schopenhauer and Nietzsche but had delved deeply into the works of the occult writers of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. "He tried to make me believe he was mystically and scientifically convinced of being possessed not by a demon but by a spirit of prehistoric Aryan mythology," Mussolini said. "In that moment I understood the strange, inexplicable sensation always produced in me by his speeches, which were characterized by a prophetic tone that could not but surprise his listeners." - Benito Mussolini, in Mussolini, written by Ray Moseley, page 211. Quoting Ottavio Dinale, Quarant’anni di colloqui con lui (Milan, Ciarroca,1953, 243-51) « Based on his interaction with Hitler, Walter Schellenberg, one of the most influential SS officers during World War II, testified the following: "Hitler did not believe in a personal god. He believed only in the bond of blood between succeeding generations and in a vague conception of fate or providence. Nor did he believe in a life after death. In this connection he often quoted a sentence from the Edda, that remarkable collection of ancient Icelandic literature, which to him represented the grofour lee Nordic wisdom: All things will pass away, nothing will remain but death and the glory of deeds. » - Walter Schellenberg, The Schellenberg Memoirs, ed. Louis Hagen (London: Andre Deutsch, 1956), 112. « It seems to me that nothing would be more foolish than to re-establish the worship of Wotan. Our old mythology had ceased to be viable when Christianity implanted itself. Nothing dies unless it is moribund. At that period the ancient world was divided between the systems of philosophy and the worship of idols. It's not desirable that the whole of humanity should be stultified-and the only way of getting rid of Christianity is to allow it to die little by little. A movement like ours mustn't let itself be drawn into metaphysical digressions. It must stick to the spirit of exact science. It's not the Party's function to be a counterfeit for religion. If, in the course of a thousand or two thousand years, science arrives at the necessity of renewing its points of view, that will not mean that science is a liar. Science cannot lie, for it's always striving, according to the momentary state of knowledge, to deduce what is true. When it makes a mistake, it does so in good faith. It's Christianity that's the liar. It's in perpetual conflict with itself. One may ask whether the disappearance of Christianity would entail the disappearance of belief in God. That's not to be desired. The notion of divinity gives most men the opportunity to concretise the feeling they have of supernatural realities. Why should we destroy this wonderful power they have of incarnating the feeling for the divine that is within them? The man who lives in communion with nature necessarily finds himself in opposition to the Churches. And that's why they're heading for ruin-for science is bound to win.

Hitler hated Germanic Paganism, and expressed extreme disappointment with Himmler's obsession with Germanic ancestors "who lived in mud huts". Hitler would have hated being called a Pagan.
You don't read books, obviously. Book Hitler written by a Nazi named Herbert Walther who was born in Oberlahnsteinam Rhein, Germany in April 1922. He was in Hitler Youth in 1933, joined the Waffen SS in 1940 and served on the Eastern , Western and Italian fronts during the war in Leibstandarte and was captured by Americans after he was wounded in Normandy in 1944 and was released in May 1947. Book Hitler page 150 Hitler and the Church Hitler's relationship with organized religion in Germany was tenuous during his first year in power. Since the Nazi Party had always been anti-establishment and anti-religious, Hitler and Goebbles flirted briefly with a revival of paganism based on Nordic gods like Odin and Thor ,but these plans were quickly dropped when public enthusiasm was not apparent. Hitler rushed to make peace with the Churches, especially the Catholic Church. The Concordat with the Papacy was signed in 1933. Page 151 Poster proclaiming Papist-Nazi solidarity quotes the Papal Nuncio, shown with Hitler, as saying " I have not understood you for a long time, But I have worried for a long time. Today I understand you." The poster goes on to say that the public should vote for Hitler at the next election. Outdoor mass is held I'm Munich in 1937 to bless the Nazi Party and the Fuhrer. The Catholics weren't having any Nordic paganism because they already have their own pagan religion. Hitter kissed the hand of the Pope just like Hugo Chavez of Venezuela .
Hitler wrote in his book Mein Kampf, "I will always be a Catholic". It was Himmler in particular that had an obsession with paganism and the occult, Hitler didn't really care about it.
Perhaps he meant by that, that for himself at least, renouncing his Catholic baptism and education was just impractical and counterproductive, seeing how he ruled over a 95% Christian nation. Also he recognized both the strengths and weaknesses of Christianity and found that Catholicism with its two thousand year long history had enough strengths to keep it around, at least for himself.
The antichrist Vatican counterfeit religion known as catholicism is exactly in what Hitler believed and was promoted by. It´s a pagan (luciferian) sun worship cult, thats why he made that statement. The vatican and especially the jesuits do everything they can to destroy all things related to true christianity.
Fair point, but then again Mein Kampf is a book that Hitler intended others to read, and in fact he even pushed some people to read it. He could hardly proclaim himself publicly to be an Odin worshipper in a nation where at the time nearly everyone was an active Christian. If you view Mein Kampf as partially a propaganda piece, then obviously Hitler will call himself a Christian in it. Why are we assuming that Hitler is honest? Also, I think it's undeniable that Hitler hated the Jews. So then, why would Hitler want to worship a more or less Jewish god? After all the old testament is sort of the Jewish bible. Yes I know, not exactly, but it would still be really weird for a Jew-hater to worship a more or less Jewish god.
I suspect he simply lied in his "Mein Kampf" propaganda piece. What, you expect Hitler to be honest? Coming out as an Odin-worshipper in a country where 95% of people are active Christians would mean the death of his political career.
Why would someone who hates Jews worship a Jewish god? After all, the catholic god is the same as the Jewish one; the old testament is more or less the Jewish holy book.
I have a friend from Iceland who's very into their people's old culture which led me to find that the old norse people had the right-hand swastika.

Man, I miss the time couple years ago when he was publishing on his blog. Lots of interesting stuff. Probably not very correct, but interesting nevertheless.
Long story short, Hitler and some of the Nazis could be viewed as Catholic background persons that found the Jewish component uncomfortable and not suitable enough to suit the wider Aryan-Germanic-centric view. It was Catholicism that made the idea of a wider religion a socio-cultural reality. Before that it was polytheism or syncretic monotheism. This meant Zeus = Horus = Other supreme beings of equivalent status which might or might not be specified.
Perhaps to us Zeus, Horus and other supreme beings are interchangeable. But I'm sure to people who worship those gods, they're very much not interchangeable.

A great compilation of information here and your overall argument of Hitler being an implicit Odin-worshipper is somewhat convincing, but I must criticise your understanding of the Germanic paganism these occultists drew upon. These topics require more primary sources, steering clear of someone like that amateur McCoy. Tyr (pronounced "tee-yer" and not "ti-er") is not the "antithesis of Odin"; he is often mistakenly made out to be a god of law and order, based on a very tenuous link with a Roman inscription by Germanic mercenaries posted in Britannia, "Mars Thingsus", or "Mars of the Thing (assembly/court)", Mars being the closest equivalent to Tyr/Tiwaz. Tyr was worshipped as a god of war and self-sacrifice (he sacrificed his hand in the jaws of the growing Fenrir, a malevolent entity born of the trickster god Loki). He is the foster-son of Odin, a member of the Aesir rather than the Vanir--like Odin--and there really isn't that much distance between the two theologically. "Tyr" as a word also simply means "god", which is why Odin is sometimes described as "farmatyr", "sigtyr", "hangatyr"; it's simply a style of naming within Eddic verse. Any of the Norse gods could be described as a "tyr", whilst Tyr is named such as a title, much like Frey, whose name isn't actually "Frey" which means "lord", but "Yngvi/Ing". Another example being Freyja, which just means "lady", whose name is actually something like Easter. Tyr's 'actual name' isn't known. So, the point at 37:06 doesn't really make any sense I really would suggest binning The Viking Spirit, its got a lot of outdated info and mistakes in it, and McCoy isn't formally-educated on any of it and it shows!
Tyr is pronounced "toohr", ( long "oo" with Scottish accent , sharp voiced "r ", one syllable). In Scandinavian spelling letter Y marks the same sound as Ü in German. This vowel does not have a exact lexical equivalent in standard English.
Another great video and research Tik! By the way, the word "kreuz" (as in part of the word Hakenkreuz) is pronounced not like the diminutive american actor of the mission impossible films, but rather is pronounced more like croytz (not an actual word) - where the eu in kreutz and the oy in croytz sound similar the eu sound as in the word Deutsch. Hope that helps?
tyr is also pronounced like “tear” as in tear in eyes. this is not researched well at all because if it was he would say that hitler and the nazis took norse ideas and changed the meanings to fit their own goals. hitler was 100% atheist, he just used religion as a tool like all the other propaganda.
Obviously TIK does not speak German, That is forgivable. But if a person does not recognize sigma, does that make him an _idiot_ or just a _barbarian_ :)
Hitler wrote several times ridiculing the worship of "Wotan". While Jung held a reverence of Germanic pre-Christianism, it's clear Hitler didn't share his zeal.
You can't just dismiss all the evidence presented in the video by simply saying Hitler ridiculed the worship of Wotan. He did not ridicule the worship of Wotan. He actually said: "It seems to me that nothing would be more foolish than to re-establish the worship of Wotan. Our old mythology ceased to be viable when Christianity implanted itself. Nothing dies unless it is moribund." And he is correct. It would have been foolish of him to re-establish the faith of Wotan when 95% of Germans were Christians. He doesn't ridicule the worship of Wotan here, and merely points out it would be foolish to come out as Wotan/Odinists.
@@TheImperatorKnight Thing is, you seem to connect a lot of dots between figures, symbols, and figures where there are notable correlations. Though for every correlation, there exists contrary statements and ideas between these same figures. If we are only looking at the correlations that support the idea of a religious root, but not the ones that contradict it. We are only getting half of the story, a conclusion based on information that confirms a specific desired outcome.
@@TheImperatorKnight He also wrote that "Wotan worship is absurd", as well as condemning Christianity, while Praising Islam. The evidence points more towards Hitler himself being agnostic.
i wouldn’t trust someone who doesnt know how to pronounce tyr correctly to talk about why someone was pagan when the person in question changed the meanings of pagan ideas to justify his genocide.
This "theology" is adolescent. Excellent use of that passage from Kershaw, which as far as I know is a unique take of his about Hitler's "artist" self-conception and contempt for mere work. Great video, as usual, TIK
Wow, wow, wow. I think we can conventionally say that you are a literal historian at this point. I admire your approach to the topic, so much. Wish you'd continue with these vids.

@@genovayork2468 I skipped Pre-K, kindergarten and first grade, leapfrogging people like you. My previous comment did indeed prove the original commenter wrong by simple logic something someone of your genetic backdrop is unlikely to acquire.
ODIN is not the god of death in norse Paganism. HEL is. Daughter of Loki. Odin is the god of war, knowledge, suffering, magic, and foresight. Freya is also a goddess of war and fertility.
5:08 why on earth would that be gnosticism? Why would the Norse make the head-God of their pantheon gnostic? This was an isolated culture on the edge of the world. Why would they shape their beliefs around some small cult thousands of kilometres away? Stop trying to force connections. Just because some ideas are similar doesn't mean they are the same and come from the same source. This is such a basic idea too, understanding the workings of the universe, it's not like the Norse couldn't have come up with it on their own
Why did Hitler say this as a criticism of the English: "The gentlemen (Englishmen) did not go for walks with the Bible, their bible was the Treaty of Versailles." - Adolf
Finally NS content! have been waiting patiently through all of the (very based) socialist and even mapping videos. You're outperforming yourself with every upload that you make, thank you TIK!
Vidar van Herske was never a member of Burzum, as Burzum was always a one-man band (inb4 someone mentions Samoth), commanded by Vikernes. BTW TIK, Varg is pronounced /va:g/
Both Samoth and Euronymous played bass and some guitar parts on Burzum's first album but were never considered band members - Burzum was always a one-man band, with Varg being the its sole member.
Hello Tik. In germany the word hail was often used as wishing someone good luck. for example under people in shooting comeptions 'Schuss heil' (=shot hail) was often used. So saying Sieg heil is wishing someone victory. (wishing from whom? I guess we know the answer now, god.)
Hitler's favourite Wagner's piece had nothing to do with Germanic mythology though: Rienzi, a mediaeval Roman monk, whose life Hitler's ended up paralleling.
Yeah he is strongly cherry picking. I mean the Nazis clearly went for the"old German/Aryan" in every way but not always and not with the same energy tik does lol
I want you to analyse Scandinavia! Are they socialist? If yes, why are they the best societies in human history? If not, they still have a lot of government securities and intervention. What would you say about that? Doesn't it make a good empirical argument for following them.
Aufheben is not change though. Aufheben means to lift something up or to stop something/ end something. But it's only used in this contest with rules or regulations. You can stop a rule "eine Anordnung aufheben" but you can't use it for things. You couldn't "aufheben" a moving car for example.
The only prominent open Christian Nazi was Erich Koch, who was Lutheran. He was the Gauleiter of East Prussia and while briefly working in southeastern Poland helped inflame the tensions between Poles and Ukrainians that caused the Rzez Wolynska. He prevented the evacuation of East Prussian civilians until it was too late. The front there was static from October to December 1944.
Give it a break, jesuit. You had plenty of Nazis, who openly claimed Christianity, they where all Catholics. Where they really Christians? No because you can not be a nazi and Christian. But you have many more connection with the catholic church, including Hitler himself.
For context, in the modern US, both the far left and farther left (the so called far right is just as leftist as the National Socialists) and of course, the aryan movements. What ties all of these various groups together is their romantic notions of "Vikings" and a weird sort of social and economic collectivism. Almost, but not exclusively, race based, these neo-pagan beliefs inform deep hostility and violent behavior--particularly in group.
It is liberalism, even its classical variation (libertarianism in the US) that is center left. While libertarians aren't for equality of outcome, they do ground their ideology in human rights. All individuals, they hold, have these rights, and none more so than others. This is an egalitarian belief. Libertarians do allow for meritocracy and differences in outcome related to property, but that does not make them right wing. The right is defined by natural hierarchy.
There's actually three aspects to religious movement that happened which you're completely missing here. The first is the Christian claim that the original Israelites were actually Aryans, and the Jews coming out of Babylon were not Israelites. Theres writings on this but I forgot from who. Second is the pure occultism which people like himmler and evola ascribed to which is what you covered in this video. The third is a synthesis of the two which claimed that the Christian god and the pagan god was the same, which is what Hitler ascribed to. There was attempts to syncretize the religions during Hitlers reign. It's why he describes himself as a Christian.
They're always trying to copy off of us because we started every civilization. The oldest evidence for those people is in the southern Arabian Peninsula right where you'd expect it to be.
During Hitler’s regime he also tried to replace Protestant and Catholic Christianity with “Positive” Christianity which could be also why he described himself as a Christian, along with what you stated in this comment.
Hitler explicitly described Yahweh and the Old Testament as Jewish. He absolutely did not believe in the Christian God, but to avoid a repeat of the Thirty Years War or Schönerer’s failures declined to hammer this home, preferring to let Christianity slowly die out instead.
TIK I'm stilll dubious about your chart-like approach to the history of ideas. The influences of ideas are not simply transmitted by one person having read the work of another. Perhaps you could read some of Quentin Skinner's essays on the contextualisation of historical ideas. Still I'm a big fan of the channel- just hoping to better clarify some of the debates we're all involved in.
He is trying to connect influence of Aryan ideology which made people excited since 19-th century with Hegel’s influence. These are two absolutely different ideologies born from different sources. I do see how Hitler was influenced by Aryan ideology ( Indian and ancient European connected religions). Aryan symbolism is obvious. Not exactly sure how Hegelian philosophy was involved here. We need to read Hitlers works directly which most of us didnt.
I recommend people educate themselves far and wide. Archeology as we are familiar with is vary young, bias, at best propaganda. People have the wrong ideas about a whole lot of things for a reason. Thanks for helping people come around to thinking & questioning more.🔥 Keep in mind Christians are the ones that are predominant in passing down information about people's history. Telling a story how they want you to know it.🌱
Anybody interested in a very weird coincidence? Look up Franz von Stuck Die Wilde Jagd. Its a painting from 1889 depicting Odin/Wotan and his wild hunt. Now, to whom does Wotan in the painting have a shocking similarity to? Hint, he was born in 1889.
Odin was not just the god of "death" and "war", but of many aspects of existence. Your interpretation is a christian one, meant to demean and reduce all things pre-christian.
Hitler used the founding mith of the Nordic race , he was a Christian, it's like for example Mexicans call themselves the Aztec nation and they are catholic. But the idea of a begining is good.
Moreover, ancient Israelites believed in Yahweh, just like modern Jews and Christians, but it would be ridiculous to say that ancient Yahwism, modern Judaism and Christianity are the same religion. Modern Christianity doesn't even resemble much of early Christianity. I doubt NatSoc belief in Odin resembled much of ancient Norse belief in Odin, if you go into the details of it. What kind of "Odin" did they believe in and what religious practices did they have is key.
@os3ujziC Well it’s still different as the jews and christian have an interrupted belief, whereas people stopped believing in norse gods for a thousand years and part of it is reconstructed so it is even worst Also shouldn’t he have believed in germanic paganism ? Well it’s because of his bad theories about the "aryans"
The Germanic people are Aryan along with Persians, Indians and others. The nazis officially recognized Indians and Iranians as "Aryan Brothers". The King of Persia who renamed Persia "Iran" meaning "Aryan" was friends with Hitler. And the nazis had an Indian SS unit.
The idea for the name change did not originate from the Shah. According to sources the idea came from an Iranian ambassador to Germany. The notion was to indicate a new start for the nation after the British and Soviet occupation. That was how Persia became Iran.
Not the germanics, they are indo-european, the iranians and indians are indo-iranians, or just aryans, as they called themselves for millenia. The Shah of Iran didn't "rename" the nation, Iran was ALWAYS called Iran, "land of the Aryans", the name "Persia" comes from greek and it's a reference to the homeland of the Achaemenid Dynasty that ruled Iran during ancient times. From greek it went to other european languages and stayed as such until the Shah demanded that other countries changed it to Iran as well, just like türkiye did some years ago.
@@zandrus9191 the iranians always called their nation Iran, meaning land of the aryans, the Shah just renamed the nation in other languages because "persia" is how the greeks called them, not how they called themselves.
Hitler's flag symbol meant "S for SOCIALISM" (a #1 discovery by historian Dr. Rex Curry). The right-handed orientation was chosen because that is the "S" letter orientation. Hitler was SOCIALISM'S top graphic design Artist. Review & compare the symbols for NSV, SA, SS, VW & et cetera under Hitler. Try to describe the NSV, SA, & SS symbols (describe them as if U R telling someone who cannot see the images). Are you a not-see? Don't be a "not see"! In the video, TIK uses terms in an ignorant manner, unaware of Hitler's vocabulary. Hitler DID NOT self-identify as "Nazi" nor "Fascist" nor "Third Reich" and he did not call his symbol a "swastika". TIK reinforces widespread ignorance in people who think Hitler spoke and wrote about his "Nazis" (he didn't). TIK History should at least advise everyone OFTEN that Hitler NEVER called them Nazis. The linguistic ignorance disrupts TIK's (& everyone's) ability to understand Hitler's socialist symbolism. TIK's bad habit is why he was unable to make Dr. Rex Curry's discovery (Hitler's symbol meant "S for SOCIALISM"). TIK's missed opportunity is why he refuses to ever speak of Dr. Curry's big discovery (Hitler's socialist symbolism). In the video TIK does not say "Schutzstaffel" because he is hiding how the SS symbol represented two "S" shapes for the two S-letters in the word "Schutzstaffel" (telling the truth interferes with TIK's obtuse rune trivia. The truth is much simpler than TIK's forced rune stuff).
From your prior videos, I thought Hitler and Nazism was linked to both gnosticism and dialectical practices? Will you do a video to link the two, hitlers gnosticism and nordic myths? I think you make a good argument for the norse myths. Also, I have been listening to your videos for years. I'm a former Brit now living in the frontiers of USA... spreading information from your videos to whoever will listen. Keep up the good work!
LoL, every one knows Hitler himself was a practicing Catholic.😂😂😂 What other people did under the disguise of Democratic Socialism is anybody's guess. 😮
It's totall emptiness save for the fire and ice that occasionally met in the middle. This resulted in the birth of Ymir... the Primordial Guineapig, from whom all Guineapigs arose.
Hello TIK. At 16:50 you put a quote up where Hitler says their is no difference between the organic and inorganic. This sounds very simial to what Giovanni Gentile writes about in his discussions on Actual Idealism; how our thoughts create the world. This would be an interesting link to explore further.
Just to point out, the swastika was a symbol in Indian cosmology as well as Native American. It is basically a solar wheel, just because Hitler used it does that make Indians and Native Americans national socialists? There is plenty of room for debate on all this. And Odin is the god of poetry and ships as well, he is the wanderer seeking knowledge, to say he is exclusivity the god of war is short sighted. Watching this, the uninformed may conclude all modern Asatru folk are national socialists, not quite that easy to paint it all with one brush stroke. For the new definitive work read the book the occult in National socialism by Stephen Flowers. This is an articulate very well researched book. Say what ever you like his books speak for themselves, for those open minded enough to read cover to cover. The Runes, particularly the Elder futhark are about 2,000 yrs old, new archeological finds keep pushing their origins back further. To me this video came off as condescending or scolding in nature. Read sources besides just those mentioned here, it is a deep subject one has to wade through the misconceptions and biased narratives and approach from open minded standpoint.
This is truly fascinating. My whole life has felt like struggle, war and death. I was instantly drawn to the swastika and national socialism since I was child learning about WW2 at school. Even though I'm English I knew deep down my allegiance was with Germany and the swastika. Sounds crazy but I have always felt that way and I still dont know why. Perhaps it is a spiritual feeling that can never be explained
I have to wonder if the core leadership held that Odin was the actual god of the universe, or rather the personification of natural forces and laws. Norse mythology becomes a backdrop for the exploration of reality, and of the past domination of the proto-aryan civilization before the prehistoric collapse. This gives them *more* weight to their 'struggle'. Because their faith puts them in a place where they are struggling against the natural forces of the world to become the masters. If Odin was more than a personification of nature, a leader of this prehistory civilization, then Our Failure could envision himself as Odin 2.0. The second coming. Setting the natural order right again. Which Odin did through language, the Runes. And H man himself would also do through his writings, speeches and leadership.
Ah, but do Jews and Christians and Muslims all worship the same God? Each worship only one God. But they could be different Gods, none of whom are the Creator. Something to seriously ponder!
Thank you Tik for teaching me something new. I have known that National Socialism was a religion. I had the mistaken notion that Adolf worshipped himself only, but this sheds sunlight on what I thought I knew.
Thank you for this video, which provides a quite surprising point of view. It would be interesting to relate the National Socialist Odinism to Gnosticism.
Shoutout from an Israeli historian! A heartfelt tribute to a brilliant researcher-Tik! Keep up the diligent and fantastic work; your dedication and insights are truly inspiring! A real contributor and pathblazing figure in contemporary historiography! Thank you Sir
Hitler said National Socialism was scientific - it was Himmler who was much more into the pagan stuff. Hitler used to mock him behind his back about looking for old mythological artefacts.
Hello TIK! Love your channel! What is your opinion on the Speeches being translated into English and resonating with a lot of people? A LOT! lol hard to deny how much they fit for the times we have been in last decade or so..
The connection the romans made to Mercury, who was also associated with Hermes of Greek mythology, is worth making note of. Hermes is thought to be the same as Thoth and the founder of Hermeticism (and to some, the literal embodiment of the universe), whose doctrine holds that at the dawn of time there was an ancient theology, that was broken up and partially represented in all traditions. As the highest god of the Norse and Germanic tradition, it would be very easy to latch on to Odin/Wotan for a Hermeticist branch (as all Hegelians are, snd as the Theodophists are). Their god is a god of war/struggle/change/transformation/death, and this conforms nicely with the embodiment of the world-variant of Hermes Trismegistus who, to these, would be the same as their original founder. Just a note worth making to show that this might still be well understood as a variant of Hermeticism.
Also related to the socialism part, the Fabian window art is god over world with a hammer to "shatter it to bits, and then Remould it nearer to the heart’s desire!"
I have seen accounts Heinrich Himmler was very heavily into Norse/Germanic mysticism, as well as biodynamic agriculture. The Austrian painter was portrayed as more cynical.
Hitler did not worship odin haha he even said “It seems to me that nothing would be more foolish than to attempt to re-establish the worship of Wotan [the German name for Odin]. Our old mythology died once Christianity had implanted itself. Nothing dies unless it is moribund.” Germanic pagans didnt even make up the majority of the Nazi party, it was roman Catholic christians. Hitler even believed he was carrying on the works of Jesus Christ. The National socialsit atate wasnt founded on Christianity, but merely used germanic symbolism to symbolize their devotion to the germanic nordic peoples. Hitler had devoted Pagans whom he clashed with and many left the party in the early to mid thirties. He just appeased them because they had mant cliques im german society in the 20s and early 20s. His goal was to unite everyone. He didnt like divide and conquer tactics as it was a marxist classwarfare tactic and would out germans against germans, he wanted all to be in support of one another. But hitler and the pagans did clash, i mean the brown shirts in 1933 sacked the Atlantis house and the party even deateoyed the statue of Wotan claiming it was Degenerate artwork🤣🤣classic. Pagan general Ludendorf of the NSDAP broke with the party because and fought with hitler on religious grounds, he left in the early thirties and slammed the doors in his way out. Youd think if hitler and the nsdap you claim to worship Wotan and openly accepted and worshipped German paganism, would have had common grounds with all the pagan groups and most certainly with top nsdap leaders and members, they wouldnt have taken these actions and theres much more. In April 1933, Augsburg's Kreisleiter Karl Wahl, a zealous Catholic, in an address to Hitler perplexedly asked "why the new pagans are still making their propaganda", hitler assured him that "in time will surely put things in order in due course.”. See, hitler was trying to appease everyone, but most certainly appeased the Christians for obvious reasons, who had more to relate with them, his own mother was a devote Catholic. Like brotha, a number of well-known occultists were arrested and imprisoned. Among them was Rudolf von Sebbottendorf, founder of the odious "Thule Society", who was taken into custody and deported to Turkey. In 1934, the chief of the Berlin police announced a ban on all forms of fortune telling, confiscations of occult and astrological book all over Germany. I believe we can safely say that Hitler only had an interest in the history of the Aryan races and their origins and only had members study these pagan religions to trace their origins around the globe that would help them trace the origins of the Aryan race altogether. Im sure he had an interest into the beliefs themselves but shortly kicked them to the curb in the late 20s and early 30s. Hitler was a Christian comparable to many of the Christians in his party and society. He wasnt a zealot but he was a believer all in all. He comversed with many priest and Christians and voiced their concerns and never abolished or shunned the churches. His party literally outlawed witchcraft ie mysticism, fortune telling and magic, which are pagan in origin.
I once visited a church in Essen, Germany, in a suburb that was a major battleground for the Kirchenkampf ("Battle of the Churches") that occured between the mainline Protestant churches on the one side (who were fully on board with the state propaganda, had flags waving in their services and often times preached Hitler as a kind of Saviour figure to the German people) and the underground hardliners on the other side (who basically saw Hitler as an antichrist figure and who were lead by such people as Dietrich Bonhoeffer). There was an usher there, obviously a retired man who spent his free time guiding people around. He saw that the ornaments inside the building had piqued my interest and started to lay out their meaning to me. One of them was a modern art piece of a giant snake trying to eat a dove that hung on top of a wall with a Reichsadler embellished into it, obviously a remnant from that time. The painting was meant to represent the Kirchenkampf. Anyway, he ended up pulling out a binder full with quotes and pictures that he had presumably collected during his lifetime, that layed out pretty much everything you just established in this video... I knew a bit about the Kirchenkampf, as my family was involved in it, but this encounter really opened my eyes. If you have the right sources, it's so clear. And it's good that this information is finally finding its way out there.

One difficulty with the Word "Völkisch" same with "Postmodernism" is that it stands for Architecture and Design styles. But also for political philosophies... I have a book from 1900 about the Architekture of Farming houses in the Reich. "Völkisch" used in the book completely different. - Also about 1900 historizism was en vogue in Architekture.

@Kannot2023 What? if that's your idea of Roman history and the creation of the Roman Catholic empire and its history, then you missed a lot of their persecution of other Christian and Judaism. It was literally created out of de-jooing their country and religion. The Roman empire persecuted joos for hundreds of years.
A couple of problems with this.
1. Odin was not a God of war, conflict or death, he was a God of divine wisdom. Tyr was the Norse God of war and Hel was the Norse God of death.
2. The swastika was not Odin's symbol. It is a protective rune that was not inherently associated with Odin.
3. The Norse did not believe in world ice theory. They saw the world as one of 9 realms that were situated in the world tree.
4. Hitler always refers to God in the singular where Norse Pagans believe in multiple Gods and refer to them as “The Gods”. The fact Hitler never references multiple Gods or indicates that he believes in or worships multiple Gods is proof that he was not a Norse Pagan.
Supply your data to back up your interjection.
Recent archaeological evidence suggests a strong connection of the swastika to Odin. This is a point that Tom Rowsell has made too, who I consider a very good authority on this.
Also, the Germans have many gods of war-goddesses also (Freyja for instance is associated with battle)-and their metaphysical portfolios are somewhat fluid. Tyr _and_ Odin are certainly gods of war.
It could be more monotheistic? Like how there are sects of Hinduism where they only worship one God.
It is not important what it was "for real". Only thing that matters what Adolf and his happy world tree friends wanted people to believe it was.
@@JackSardonic it really depends on the time and exact version of the god. Odin to the Norse in 900AD is not the same as Woden to the Saxons in 500AD and not the same as Wotan to the Germans in 100BC

I have to disagree on the specificity of Odin. Hitler’s god was the All-Father. There’s a reason the word “Odin” wasn’t used! This All-Father was known to various Indo-European peoples (Greeks, Romans, Indo-Aryans, Iranians) in various forms and having their distinct flavour, and even though they do not all lineally trace back to the same deity - Odin does not descend from the lightning-wielding sky god which was the ancestor of Zeus and Jupiter for instance - they represent the same basic figure of the generic All-Father. The trait that Hitler must have associated with this god would be that of the natural order, from whom the healthy have the vital energy to prosper and self-further but which the ill lack and so do not self-further but terminate. To Hitler, the Aryans were His chosen people, and Hitler himself as His prophet destined to succeed in battle against the Jews.
I also think Hitler didn’t believe in One God per se, but also believed in the energies of the entire pantheon which were personified as gods in a way that is not necessarily unreal.
Gods as metaphors in a larger political theatre
Yes, it seems more likely to me that whatever religion Hitler expressed was just a pastiche of various fragmentary traditions that he could align to his own ideology. That is, Hitler's ideology did not flow from adherence to any pre-existing religion, rather Hitler's assorted icons and catechisms are little pieces of existing religions that he knitted together because they seemed to support the ideology he already had. All of these trinkets of belief superficially connect his own ideas to older ones and seem to lend ancient credence to his ideas, but are really meaningless. Still, as a mine for convenient symbols, Odin would work well for the Nazis. First, it seems to be related to their Germanic heritage, second it glorifies martial prowess, third, modern people have almost no idea what Odin worship really meant to pre-Christian and pre-Roman Germans, because nothing was written down until centuries later. It's very easy to impose whatever ideology you want on something that comes to us in such little fragments. So it's no surprise if in Hitler's big stew pot of ersatz tradition, Odin seems like the strongest spice.
Whacky
Exactly. This is much more accurate to what Hitler believed in. Tik over simplifies it to one thing. And yes people mistakingly believe that all Pagans believe in a literal pantheon of gods as if they actually exist as living entities, because they are approaching it from a Judeo-Christian lens who believe that their god literally exists in this way. The pagan pantheon of deities are simply symbolic, and embody qualities and principals that are found within nature and humanity, which a narrative is then crafted around for storytelling reasons to teach lessons. So if you venerate or worship a certain god that embodies love or strength for instance, you are focusing on and venerating the principals and values that the particular god is being the embodiment of. So in this case evoking the principal of love or power. And this is what makes the gods real. For it's the principals and values that actually exist and are real, and have real world effects on the psyche of the individual and in the natural world. This is what Hitler was doing if he invoked the spirit of Odin for instance. To elicit strength, motivation, a warrior spirit that this god stood for. As well as being a national cultural unifier. As a people's native gods are an expression of one's own people and culture. It's a direct extension of the people themselves. This is true across the world, but what unifies all of them are the common truths or principles they represent. This is what also gives power to runes or symbols, for its the principals that the symbols reflect that make it powerful that then become "alive" in the psyche of the individual who affirms them. Overall, Hitler's god was his race, nation, and the principals of nature. He was in opposition to the Judaic god or Demiurge which is simply a reflection of the j*wish people themselves. Gnosticism and Greek thought certainly influenced his philosophy and values via the different philosophical and political thinkers he read, but the majority of his spiritual beliefs was ultimately one that was Germanic in origin and reflected the people of his race. You could call it Occult Aryan Mysticism, or variations of Germanic Paganism that Gnostic Christianity influenced. But it was ultimately a rejection of the Abrahamic faiths and an embracing of one's own ancestral religion and values. That's what is key.

TIK, I don’t know if you’ve identified this yet, but your description of the World Ice Theory and the destruction of a greater civilization through an ice meteor event sounds EXACTLY like Graham Hancock’s Youger Dryas Impact Theory. I don’t know if you’ve heard Graham on Joe Rogan, but my god, his theory sounds exactly like the one you described.
Indeed. That's why perhaps there is actually something significant to it. More than the current "reputable" scientific establishment is willing to admit.
Eh, I wouldn't say Hancocks theory is 'the same'. A comet hitting the Earth is something that actual science can prove or disprove, the 'world ice theory' stuff is nuts. It's like having a serious discussion about the Fermi Paradox and what alien biology might be like based on what we know about exoplanets and then sitting it next to the guy living in a trailer park who rants about how the Greys abducted him and probed his ass. Both are discussions about aliens, but one is sane and rational, the other is probably just a meth addict.
Neither Alien life nor pre-Sumner civilization discussions get a lot of traction in mainstream academia and unless you Harvard tenured professor Avi Loeb no one gives your research papers the light of day. Hancock is making legitimate points and doing so (mostly) within the realms of science. I'm not going to get into the ayahuasca crap, I firmly disagree with him on that line of thinking but the idea of a cometary impact does make sense.
Hitler and his cult of nutcases also did stumble onto provable science mired in their occult rambling nonsense a couple of times. The 'ayran' race that spread from Scandinavia to Northern India was in fact real, it was the Proto-Indo Europeans. There's no way the National Socialists could have known about the genetic links, they pieced it together thro linguistics I think. They actually used this as part of a twisted justification for why everything to the east 'belonged' to Germany, they thought it all belonged to an ancient german empire at some point and that's why the languages had a common root. It's really ironic that the PIE people came from what is now Ukraine, not Northwest Europe and I get a chuckle out how pissed Hitler would be if he found out that Ukraine actually has a claim on Germany as it's colony, not the other way around.
Anyway, World Ice Theory is probably just another case of this. The crazy fucks saw a link no one else did before but were too insane to actually apply scientific principles to understand it. These are the same guys that thought Jews secretly controlled both the Capitalist and Communist ideologies, insane delusions were the norm for them.
Which is why many people call it a "racist" theory, they harken it to people like the Nazis. Quite frankly, Graham Hancock waves away and ignores swathes of evidence to get to his conclusions. His "theory" has no reasonable conclusions based off the full actual evidence. He is a grifter who writes science fiction novels and calls it non-fiction to sell books and make TV shows, and it has been very lucrative for him.

Confusion arises because Odin/Woden/Wotan/Wotanaz is a version of a god worshiped by many Germanic peoples for a very very long period of time and so his attributes change over time and with different nations. Wotanaz(an earlier version closer to Roman times from germany) was much more a god of death and war, the wolf god, god of battle frenzy. The Norse Odin is shifted much more to a wise old wizard archetype. The Anglo-Saxon Woden is also not exactly the same as either of them
Hades is not a correct analog to any version of Odin as far as I know. Mars and Jupiter would be the closest. He probably originated from the same god as Ares and Mars I think

Nice video TIK. What I ultimately took away from this was that H1t3r ultimately operated on what we would call “vibes” today. He followed in the footsteps of Blavatsky and took bits of this tradition and that tradition. He seemed to want to avoid any real scholarly analysis on a historically accurate system of belief.
5 years ago, i was a Marxist.
I was subscribed to TIK because his videos made the Soviet Union look good.
Then he started arguing Hitler was a Socialist and i got triggered and unsubscribed.
Fast forward to today, i have grown past Marxism entirely, as you do after you start working, and returned to follow the channel.
Soon after i return, TIK drops this video on my Pagan ass.
At this point it just feels like TIK is going out of his way to make me like Hitler or something.
Sometimes i think TIK puts more thought into these things than the nazis themselves did back then. Sounds crazy
He is not wrong but clearly cherry picking
Hitler was a theist at most with pantheistic worldview, he probably was also fond on Nietzsche Übermensch philosophy, he despised Christianity but also ridiculed the return to worship old pagan gods as proposed by Rosenberg and Himmler although he used ethnic pagan symbology as a sort of cultural expression.
People often ignore how much of a cynic the painter was, they just cling to the symbology and make assumptions since they do not understand the mindset behind the use of ancient symbolism.
« On Easter Sunday, April 1, Mussolini had a talk about Hitler with his old friend of forty years, Ottavio Dinale. He recalled a meeting in the library of Hitler's Alpine retreat at Berchtesgaden at which Hitler showed him a row of volumes in red morocco leather by philosophers and German occultists. Of the many philosophers, Hitler admitted he had read fully only Schopenhauer and Nietzsche but had delved deeply into the works of the occult writers of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. "He tried to make me believe he was mystically and scientifically convinced of being possessed not by a demon but by a spirit of prehistoric Aryan mythology," Mussolini said. "In that moment I understood the strange, inexplicable sensation always produced in me by his speeches, which were characterized by a prophetic tone that could not but surprise his listeners."
- Benito Mussolini, in Mussolini, written by Ray Moseley, page 211. Quoting Ottavio Dinale, Quarant’anni di colloqui con lui (Milan, Ciarroca,1953, 243-51)
« Based on his interaction with Hitler, Walter Schellenberg, one of the most influential SS officers during World War II, testified the following:
"Hitler did not believe in a personal god. He believed only in the bond of blood between succeeding generations and in a vague conception of fate or providence. Nor did he believe in a life after death. In this connection he often quoted a sentence from the Edda, that remarkable collection of ancient Icelandic literature, which to him represented the grofour lee Nordic wisdom: All things will pass away, nothing will remain but death and the glory of deeds. »

« It seems to me that nothing would be more foolish than to re-establish the worship of Wotan. Our old mythology had ceased to be viable when Christianity implanted itself. Nothing dies unless it is moribund. At that period the ancient world was divided between the systems of philosophy and the worship of idols. It's not desirable that the whole of humanity should be stultified-and the only way of getting rid of Christianity is to allow it to die little by little. A movement like ours mustn't let itself be drawn into metaphysical digressions. It must stick to the spirit of exact science. It's not the Party's function to be a counterfeit for religion. If, in the course of a thousand or two thousand years, science arrives at the necessity of renewing its points of view, that will not mean that science is a liar. Science cannot lie, for it's always striving, according to the momentary state of knowledge, to deduce what is true. When it makes a mistake, it does so in good faith. It's Christianity that's the liar. It's in perpetual conflict with itself. One may ask whether the disappearance of Christianity would entail the disappearance of belief in God. That's not to be desired. The notion of divinity gives most men the opportunity to concretise the feeling they have of supernatural realities. Why should we destroy this wonderful power they have of incarnating the feeling for the divine that is within them? The man who lives in communion with nature necessarily finds himself in opposition to the Churches. And that's why they're heading for ruin-for science is bound to win. I especially wouldn't want our movement to acquire a religious character and institute a form of worship. It would be appalling for me, and I would wish … »

Hitler hated Germanic Paganism, and expressed extreme disappointment with Himmler's obsession with Germanic ancestors "who lived in mud huts". Hitler would have hated being called a Pagan.
You don't read books, obviously.
Book Hitler written by a Nazi named Herbert Walther who was born in Oberlahnsteinam Rhein, Germany in April 1922. He was in Hitler Youth in 1933, joined the Waffen SS in 1940 and served on the Eastern , Western and Italian fronts during the war in Leibstandarte and was captured by Americans after he was wounded in Normandy in 1944 and was released in May 1947.
Book Hitler page 150 Hitler and the Church
Hitler's relationship with organized religion in Germany was tenuous during his first year in power. Since the Nazi Party had always been anti-establishment and anti-religious, Hitler and Goebbles flirted briefly with a revival of paganism based on Nordic gods like Odin and Thor ,but these plans were quickly dropped when public enthusiasm was not apparent. Hitler rushed to make peace with the Churches, especially the Catholic Church. The Concordat with the Papacy was signed in 1933.
Page 151 Poster proclaiming Papist-Nazi solidarity quotes the Papal Nuncio, shown with Hitler, as saying " I have not understood you for a long time, But I have worried for a long time. Today I understand you." The poster goes on to say that the public should vote for Hitler at the next election.
Outdoor mass is held I'm Munich in 1937 to bless the Nazi Party and the Fuhrer.
The Catholics weren't having any Nordic paganism because they already have their own pagan religion. Hitter kissed the hand of the Pope just like Hugo Chavez of Venezuela .
Hitler wrote in his book Mein Kampf, "I will always be a Catholic". It was Himmler in particular that had an obsession with paganism and the occult, Hitler didn't really care about it.
Perhaps he meant by that, that for himself at least, renouncing his Catholic baptism and education was just impractical and counterproductive, seeing how he ruled over a 95% Christian nation. Also he recognized both the strengths and weaknesses of Christianity and found that Catholicism with its two thousand year long history had enough strengths to keep it around, at least for himself.
The antichrist Vatican counterfeit religion known as catholicism is exactly in what Hitler believed and was promoted by. It´s a pagan (luciferian) sun worship cult, thats why he made that statement. The vatican and especially the jesuits do everything they can to destroy all things related to true christianity.
Fair point, but then again Mein Kampf is a book that Hitler intended others to read, and in fact he even pushed some people to read it. He could hardly proclaim himself publicly to be an Odin worshipper in a nation where at the time nearly everyone was an active Christian. If you view Mein Kampf as partially a propaganda piece, then obviously Hitler will call himself a Christian in it.
Why are we assuming that Hitler is honest?
Also, I think it's undeniable that Hitler hated the Jews. So then, why would Hitler want to worship a more or less Jewish god? After all the old testament is sort of the Jewish bible. Yes I know, not exactly, but it would still be really weird for a Jew-hater to worship a more or less Jewish god.
I suspect he simply lied in his "Mein Kampf" propaganda piece. What, you expect Hitler to be honest? Coming out as an Odin-worshipper in a country where 95% of people are active Christians would mean the death of his political career.
Why would someone who hates Jews worship a Jewish god? After all, the catholic god is the same as the Jewish one; the old testament is more or less the Jewish holy book.

Long story short, Hitler and some of the Nazis could be viewed as Catholic background persons that found the Jewish component uncomfortable and not suitable enough to suit the wider Aryan-Germanic-centric view.
It was Catholicism that made the idea of a wider religion a socio-cultural reality.
Before that it was polytheism or syncretic monotheism. This meant Zeus = Horus = Other supreme beings of equivalent status which might or might not be specified.
Perhaps to us Zeus, Horus and other supreme beings are interchangeable. But I'm sure to people who worship those gods, they're very much not interchangeable.

In my humble opinion hetlir was just a politician , he used mythological symbolism as instrument of propaganda , he knew how much the German folks are motivated by these historical and mythological reference , in short sentence i don't think that he believed in the existing of creator or any kind spiritual entity that can be described as a god .

“I have in this War a burning private grudge-which would probably make me a better soldier at 49 than I was at 22: against that ruddy little ignoramus Adolf Hitler (for the odd thing about demonic inspiration and impetus is that it in no way enhances the purely intellectual stature: it chiefly affects the mere will). Ruining, perverting, misapplying, and making for ever accursed, that noble northern spirit, a supreme contribution to Europe, which I have ever loved, and tried to present in its true light.”

A great compilation of information here and your overall argument of Hitler being an implicit Odin-worshipper is somewhat convincing, but I must criticise your understanding of the Germanic paganism these occultists drew upon. These topics require more primary sources, steering clear of someone like that amateur McCoy.
Tyr (pronounced "tee-yer" and not "ti-er") is not the "antithesis of Odin"; he is often mistakenly made out to be a god of law and order, based on a very tenuous link with a Roman inscription by Germanic mercenaries posted in Britannia, "Mars Thingsus", or "Mars of the Thing (assembly/court)", Mars being the closest equivalent to Tyr/Tiwaz. Tyr was worshipped as a god of war and self-sacrifice (he sacrificed his hand in the jaws of the growing Fenrir, a malevolent entity born of the trickster god Loki). He is the foster-son of Odin, a member of the Aesir rather than the Vanir--like Odin--and there really isn't that much distance between the two theologically.
"Tyr" as a word also simply means "god", which is why Odin is sometimes described as "farmatyr", "sigtyr", "hangatyr"; it's simply a style of naming within Eddic verse. Any of the Norse gods could be described as a "tyr", whilst Tyr is named such as a title, much like Frey, whose name isn't actually "Frey" which means "lord", but "Yngvi/Ing". Another example being Freyja, which just means "lady", whose name is actually something like Easter. Tyr's 'actual name' isn't known. So, the point at 37:06 doesn't really make any sense
I really would suggest binning The Viking Spirit, its got a lot of outdated info and mistakes in it, and McCoy isn't formally-educated on any of it and it shows!
Its no secret the Jesuits & Freemasons put Hitler in power.
Please post some better sources if you have any, I'm sure many are interested and we're all here to learn.
German/Luwian: Tyr/Tiwaz/Odin/Santa
Nonsense.@@mikeoz4803
Tyr is pronounced "toohr", ( long "oo" with Scottish accent , sharp voiced "r ", one syllable). In Scandinavian spelling letter Y marks the same sound as Ü in German. This vowel does not have a exact lexical equivalent in standard English.
Another great video and research Tik! By the way, the word "kreuz" (as in part of the word Hakenkreuz) is pronounced not like the diminutive american actor of the mission impossible films, but rather is pronounced more like croytz (not an actual word) - where the eu in kreutz and the oy in croytz sound similar the eu sound as in the word Deutsch. Hope that helps?
tyr is also pronounced like “tear” as in tear in eyes. this is not researched well at all because if it was he would say that hitler and the nazis took norse ideas and changed the meanings to fit their own goals. hitler was 100% atheist, he just used religion as a tool like all the other propaganda.
Obviously TIK does not speak German, That is forgivable. But if a person does not recognize sigma, does that make him an _idiot_ or just a _barbarian_ :)
Hitler wrote several times ridiculing the worship of "Wotan". While Jung held a reverence of Germanic pre-Christianism, it's clear Hitler didn't share his zeal.
You can't just dismiss all the evidence presented in the video by simply saying Hitler ridiculed the worship of Wotan. He did not ridicule the worship of Wotan. He actually said:
"It seems to me that nothing would be more foolish than to re-establish the worship of Wotan. Our old mythology ceased to be viable when Christianity implanted itself. Nothing dies unless it is moribund."
And he is correct. It would have been foolish of him to re-establish the faith of Wotan when 95% of Germans were Christians. He doesn't ridicule the worship of Wotan here, and merely points out it would be foolish to come out as Wotan/Odinists.
@@TheImperatorKnight Thing is, you seem to connect a lot of dots between figures, symbols, and figures where there are notable correlations.
Though for every correlation, there exists contrary statements and ideas between these same figures.
If we are only looking at the correlations that support the idea of a religious root, but not the ones that contradict it. We are only getting half of the story, a conclusion based on information that confirms a specific desired outcome.
@@TheImperatorKnight He also wrote that "Wotan worship is absurd", as well as condemning Christianity, while Praising Islam. The evidence points more towards Hitler himself being agnostic.

5:08 why on earth would that be gnosticism? Why would the Norse make the head-God of their pantheon gnostic? This was an isolated culture on the edge of the world. Why would they shape their beliefs around some small cult thousands of kilometres away? Stop trying to force connections.

He talks about this directly in his book. He didn't really believe in paganism as we understand it.

Are they socialist? If yes, why are they the best societies in human history?
If not, they still have a lot of government securities and intervention. What would you say about that?
Doesn't it make a good empirical argument for following them.
Aufheben is not change though. Aufheben means to lift something up or to stop something/ end something. But it's only used in this contest with rules or regulations. You can stop a rule "eine Anordnung aufheben" but you can't use it for things. You couldn't "aufheben" a moving car for example.
The only prominent open Christian Nazi was Erich Koch, who was Lutheran. He was the Gauleiter of East Prussia and while briefly working in southeastern Poland helped inflame the tensions between Poles and Ukrainians that caused the Rzez Wolynska. He prevented the evacuation of East Prussian civilians until it was too late. The front there was static from October to December 1944.
Give it a break, jesuit. You had plenty of Nazis, who openly claimed Christianity, they where all Catholics.
Where they really Christians?
No because you can not be a nazi and Christian.
But you have many more connection with the catholic church, including Hitler himself.
For context, in the modern US, both the far left and farther left (the so called far right is just as leftist as the National Socialists) and of course, the aryan movements.
What ties all of these various groups together is their romantic notions of "Vikings" and a weird sort of social and economic collectivism. Almost, but not exclusively, race based, these neo-pagan beliefs inform deep hostility and violent behavior--particularly in group.
Not quite. Socialism is right wing not left wing, woke mostly worship Greek pantheism but it's also heavily influenced by Christian Mysticism.
It is liberalism, even its classical variation (libertarianism in the US) that is center left. While libertarians aren't for equality of outcome, they do ground their ideology in human rights. All individuals, they hold, have these rights, and none more so than others. This is an egalitarian belief. Libertarians do allow for meritocracy and differences in outcome related to property, but that does not make them right wing. The right is defined by natural hierarchy.

There's actually three aspects to religious movement that happened which you're completely missing here. The first is the Christian claim that the original Israelites were actually Aryans, and the Jews coming out of Babylon were not Israelites. Theres writings on this but I forgot from who. Second is the pure occultism which people like himmler and evola ascribed to which is what you covered in this video. The third is a synthesis of the two which claimed that the Christian god and the pagan god was the same, which is what Hitler ascribed to. There was attempts to syncretize the religions during Hitlers reign. It's why he describes himself as a Christian.
Christians have never claimed the original Israelites were actually Aryans. Ever.
Wouldn't it be too easy to just take people at their word? No, we have to reinterpret their writings to ascribe new interpretations.
😂
They're always trying to copy off of us because we started every civilization. The oldest evidence for those people is in the southern Arabian Peninsula right where you'd expect it to be.
During Hitler’s regime he also tried to replace Protestant and Catholic Christianity with “Positive” Christianity which could be also why he described himself as a Christian, along with what you stated in this comment.
Hitler explicitly described Yahweh and the Old Testament as Jewish. He absolutely did not believe in the Christian God, but to avoid a repeat of the Thirty Years War or Schönerer’s failures declined to hammer this home, preferring to let Christianity slowly die out instead.
TIK I'm stilll dubious about your chart-like approach to the history of ideas. The influences of ideas are not simply transmitted by one person having read the work of another. Perhaps you could read some of Quentin Skinner's essays on the contextualisation of historical ideas. Still I'm a big fan of the channel- just hoping to better clarify some of the debates we're all involved in.
He is trying to connect influence of Aryan ideology which made people excited since 19-th century with Hegel’s influence. These are two absolutely different ideologies born from different sources. I do see how Hitler was influenced by Aryan ideology ( Indian and ancient European connected religions). Aryan symbolism is obvious. Not exactly sure how Hegelian philosophy was involved here. We need to read Hitlers works directly which most of us didnt.
I recommend people educate themselves far and wide. Archeology as we are familiar with is vary young, bias, at best propaganda.
People have the wrong ideas about a whole lot of things for a reason.

Odin was not just the god of "death" and "war", but of many aspects of existence. Your interpretation is a christian one, meant to demean and reduce all things pre-christian.
Dude, anyone can be a follower of Odin and not be a bigoted, total pos nazi.

Your videos are like an education for the busy person. Much needed.

You can argue that Hitler believed in Odin implicitly, BUT not explicitly.
Moreover, ancient Israelites believed in Yahweh, just like modern Jews and Christians, but it would be ridiculous to say that ancient Yahwism, modern Judaism and Christianity are the same religion. Modern Christianity doesn't even resemble much of early Christianity. I doubt NatSoc belief in Odin resembled much of ancient Norse belief in Odin, if you go into the details of it. What kind of "Odin" did they believe in and what religious practices did they have is key.

The Germanic people are Aryan along with Persians, Indians and others. The nazis officially recognized Indians and Iranians as "Aryan Brothers". The King of Persia who renamed Persia "Iran" meaning "Aryan" was friends with Hitler. And the nazis had an Indian SS unit.
The idea for the name change did not originate from the Shah. According to sources the idea came from an Iranian ambassador to Germany. The notion was to indicate a new start for the nation after the British and Soviet occupation. That was how Persia became Iran.
Do not be mistaken. Any race south of the Mediterranean can no longer be considered such. Especially Indians. Perhaps once in the past, but no longer.
The Aryans originally created their civilizations but over time racemixed themselves to extinction
Not the germanics, they are indo-european, the iranians and indians are indo-iranians, or just aryans, as they called themselves for millenia. The Shah of Iran didn't "rename" the nation, Iran was ALWAYS called Iran, "land of the Aryans", the name "Persia" comes from greek and it's a reference to the homeland of the Achaemenid Dynasty that ruled Iran during ancient times. From greek it went to other european languages and stayed as such until the Shah demanded that other countries changed it to Iran as well, just like türkiye did some years ago.
@@zandrus9191 the iranians always called their nation Iran, meaning land of the aryans, the Shah just renamed the nation in other languages because "persia" is how the greeks called them, not how they called themselves.
Hitler's flag symbol meant "S for SOCIALISM" (a #1 discovery by historian Dr. Rex Curry). The right-handed orientation was chosen because that is the "S" letter orientation. Hitler was SOCIALISM'S top graphic design Artist. Review & compare the symbols for NSV, SA, SS, VW & et cetera under Hitler. Try to describe the NSV, SA, & SS symbols (describe them as if U R telling someone who cannot see the images). Are you a not-see? Don't be a "not see"!
In the video, TIK uses terms in an ignorant manner, unaware of Hitler's vocabulary. Hitler DID NOT self-identify as "Nazi" nor "Fascist" nor "Third Reich" and he did not call his symbol a "swastika". TIK reinforces widespread ignorance in people who think Hitler spoke and wrote about his "Nazis" (he didn't). TIK History should at least advise everyone OFTEN that Hitler NEVER called them Nazis. The linguistic ignorance disrupts TIK's (& everyone's) ability to understand Hitler's socialist symbolism. TIK's bad habit is why he was unable to make Dr. Rex Curry's discovery (Hitler's symbol meant "S for SOCIALISM"). TIK's missed opportunity is why he refuses to ever speak of Dr. Curry's big discovery (Hitler's socialist symbolism).
In the video TIK does not say "Schutzstaffel" because he is hiding how the SS symbol represented two "S" shapes for the two S-letters in the word "Schutzstaffel" (telling the truth interferes with TIK's obtuse rune trivia. The truth is much simpler than TIK's forced rune stuff).
From your prior videos, I thought Hitler and Nazism was linked to both gnosticism and dialectical practices? Will you do a video to link the two, hitlers gnosticism and nordic myths? I think you make a good argument for the norse myths. Also, I have been listening to your videos for years. I'm a former Brit now living in the frontiers of USA... spreading information from your videos to whoever will listen. Keep up the good work!

Just to point out, the swastika was a symbol in Indian cosmology as well as Native American. It is basically a solar wheel, just because Hitler used it does that make Indians and Native Americans national socialists?
There is plenty of room for debate on all this. And Odin is the god of poetry and ships as well, he is the wanderer seeking knowledge, to say he is exclusivity the god of war is short sighted.
Watching this, the uninformed may conclude all modern Asatru folk are national socialists, not quite that easy to paint it all with one brush stroke.

Even though I'm English I knew deep down my allegiance was with Germany and the swastika. Sounds crazy but I have always felt that way and I still dont know why. Perhaps it is a spiritual feeling that can never be explained
By the way, TIK - Bayreuth is pronounced “BYE-ROIT”
I have to wonder if the core leadership held that Odin was the actual god of the universe, or rather the personification of natural forces and laws. Norse mythology becomes a backdrop for the exploration of reality, and of the past domination of the proto-aryan civilization before the prehistoric collapse. This gives them *more* weight to their 'struggle'. Because their faith puts them in a place where they are struggling against the natural forces of the world to become the masters.
If Odin was more than a personification of nature, a leader of this prehistory civilization, then Our Failure could envision himself as Odin 2.0. The second coming. Setting the natural order right again. Which Odin did through language, the Runes. And H man himself would also do through his writings, speeches and leadership.

The connection the romans made to Mercury, who was also associated with Hermes of Greek mythology, is worth making note of.
Hermes is thought to be the same as Thoth and the founder of Hermeticism (and to some, the literal embodiment of the universe), whose doctrine holds that at the dawn of time there was an ancient theology, that was broken up and partially represented in all traditions. As the highest god of the Norse and Germanic tradition, it would be very easy to latch on to Odin/Wotan for a Hermeticist branch (as all Hegelians are, snd as the Theodophists are). Their god is a god of war/struggle/change/transformation/death, and this conforms nicely with the embodiment of the world-variant of Hermes Trismegistus who, to these, would be the same as their original founder.
Just a note worth making to show that this might still be well understood as a variant of Hermeticism.
Also related to the socialism part, the Fabian window art is god over world with a hammer to "shatter it to bits, and then Remould it nearer to the heart’s desire!"
They’re the same gods. Aryan gods

I have seen accounts Heinrich Himmler was very heavily into Norse/Germanic mysticism, as well as biodynamic agriculture. The Austrian painter was portrayed as more cynical.
Hitler did not worship odin haha he even said “It seems to me that nothing would be more foolish than to attempt to re-establish the worship of Wotan [the German name for Odin]. Our old mythology died once Christianity had implanted itself. Nothing dies unless it is moribund.” Germanic pagans didnt even make up the majority of the Nazi party, it was roman Catholic christians. Hitler even believed he was carrying on the works of Jesus Christ. The National socialsit atate wasnt founded on Christianity, but merely used germanic symbolism to symbolize their devotion to the germanic nordic peoples. Hitler had devoted Pagans whom he clashed with and many left the party in the early to mid thirties. He just appeased them because they had mant cliques im german society in the 20s and early 20s. His goal was to unite everyone. He didnt like divide and conquer tactics as it was a marxist classwarfare tactic and would out germans against germans, he wanted all to be in support of one another. But hitler and the pagans did clash, i mean the brown shirts in 1933 sacked the Atlantis house and the party even deateoyed the statue of Wotan claiming it was Degenerate artwork🤣🤣classic. Pagan general Ludendorf of the NSDAP broke with the party because and fought with hitler on religious grounds, he left in the early thirties and slammed the doors in his way out. Youd think if hitler and the nsdap you claim to worship Wotan and openly accepted and worshipped German paganism, would have had common grounds with all the pagan groups and most certainly with top nsdap leaders and members, they wouldnt have taken these actions and theres much more. In April 1933, Augsburg's Kreisleiter Karl Wahl, a zealous Catholic, in an address to Hitler perplexedly asked "why the new pagans are still making their propaganda", hitler assured him that "in time will surely put things in order in due course.”. See, hitler was trying to appease everyone, but most certainly appeased the Christians for obvious reasons, who had more to relate with them, his own mother was a devote Catholic. Like brotha, a number of well-known occultists were arrested and imprisoned. Among them was Rudolf von Sebbottendorf, founder of the odious "Thule Society", who was taken into custody and deported to Turkey. In 1934, the chief of the Berlin police announced a ban on all forms of fortune telling, confiscations of occult and astrological book all over Germany.
I believe we can safely say that Hitler only had an interest in the history of the Aryan races and their origins and only had members study these pagan religions to trace their origins around the globe that would help them trace the origins of the Aryan race altogether. Im sure he had an interest into the beliefs themselves but shortly kicked them to the curb in the late 20s and early 30s.
Hitler was a Christian comparable to many of the Christians in his party and society. He wasnt a zealot but he was a believer all in all. He comversed with many priest and Christians and voiced their concerns and never abolished or shunned the churches. His party literally outlawed witchcraft ie mysticism, fortune telling and magic, which are pagan in origin.
I once visited a church in Essen, Germany, in a suburb that was a major battleground for the Kirchenkampf ("Battle of the Churches") that occured between the mainline Protestant churches on the one side (who were fully on board with the state propaganda, had flags waving in their services and often times preached Hitler as a kind of Saviour figure to the German people) and the underground hardliners on the other side (who basically saw Hitler as an antichrist figure and who were lead by such people as Dietrich Bonhoeffer).
There was an usher there, obviously a retired man who spent his free time guiding people around. He saw that the ornaments inside the building had piqued my interest and started to lay out their meaning to me. One of them was a modern art piece of a giant snake trying to eat a dove that hung on top of a wall with a Reichsadler embellished into it, obviously a remnant from that time. The painting was meant to represent the Kirchenkampf. Anyway, he ended up pulling out a binder full with quotes and pictures that he had presumably collected during his lifetime, that layed out pretty much everything you just established in this video...
I knew a bit about the Kirchenkampf, as my family was involved in it, but this encounter really opened my eyes. If you have the right sources, it's so clear. And it's good that this information is finally finding its way out there.
