[T]he archive footage is simply superb and the narrator is very engaging ... the way it ties into the philosophy behind the implementation of the Eugenics programme and the anti-Semitic beliefs of the Third Reich is very insightful indeed! Witnessing the development of the SS and the SD is very interesting, as it follows Himmler’s thought processes very clearly.

A very engaging documentary.

The presenter offers a powerful study of Himmler and his SS empire. Visits to Nazi sites are included in the footage, providing a glimpse of the mysterious inner sanctum of the SS castle at Wewelsburg that was bought by Himmler to form his own idea of a German camelot.

The DVD is loaded with archival footage from WWII surrounding Himmler and the SS. Bob Carruthers takes a look at Himmler's inner sanctum and his occultist retreat within his castle at Wewelsburg and paints a time line of the events during Himmler’s command in the Nazi regime.

This DVD documentary from Pen & Sword Digital gives us an informative and interesting look into the very strange world of Heinrich Himmler, the SS and the Occult. Bob Carruthers raises some interesting questions as to how much Himmler’s obsession with the Occult actually shaped the Nazi war machine in the Second World War. Recommended.
