[00:00:00.000 to 00:00:25.370] The Hour of the Time may be contacted at HOT, that's H-O-T-T, P.O. Box 940, Eager, spelled E-A-G-A-R, in the state of Arizona, 85925. Our phone number is 928-333-2942, and our website is www.hourofthetime.com.

[00:01:31.280 to 00:01:53.210] to the Hour of the Time. I'm William Cooper. And hello from Carolyn Nelson. I want to welcome our listening audience on satellite, North and South America, and the western side of Europe, and a lot of the islands and territories in the Pacific, also New Zealand and Australia.

[00:01:54.040 to 00:02:02.160] Welcome to the hour of the time. We are now worldwide by shortwave radio and one half of the Earth's hemisphere.

[00:02:03.050 to 00:02:26.520] on the satellite Galaxy 3, channel 17, 5.8 audio. That's Galaxy 3, channel 17, 5.8 audio. We are striking at the heart and soul of the enemy with the hour of the time, and it was reflected today when they paid us the greatest compliment that we could ever, ever hope to possess. We were attacked.

[00:02:27.280 to 00:02:51.730] by Radio for Peace International, a broadcast of the United Nations repeatedly today on four frequencies worldwide. Ladies and gentlemen, I am so happy and so proud that we have hurt them so badly that they chose to lend credibility to this broadcast by publicly attacking us.

[00:02:52.270 to 00:03:17.730] On a United Nations broadcast, Radio for Peace International worldwide, the socialist bloodsuckers are hurting badly. Before we get into tonight's broadcast, I want to read you a definition from Mackey's Encyclopedia of Freemasonry, Revised Edition, Volume 1, A-L.

[00:03:18.960 to 00:03:41.400] This is personally signed by Albert Mackey and was published in 1924 by the Masonic History Company, Chicago, New York, and London. Ladies and gentlemen, now, I also have Mackey's 1893 edition of his Encyclopedia of Freemasonry, in which...

[00:03:42.440 to 00:04:02.890] The word Arian is mentioned for the first time taken out of the teachings of Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, and in that series of volumes of Mackey's Encyclopedia of Freemasonry, there's a section on crosses, and there's only one cross mentioned, only one. It is the swastika.

[00:04:04.240 to 00:04:32.680] Now, from the 1924 volume, Aryan, and I quote, one of the three historical divisions of religion, the other two being the Turanian and the Shemitic. It produced Brahmanism, Buddhism, and the Code of Zoroaster. I bet you Aryans didn't know that you were all Buddhists. And if you go to India, those are the Aryans that she was talking about, and none of you look anything like them.

[00:04:33.490 to 00:05:00.100] And if you go to Tibet, that's where it all originated, and you don't look like them either. Oh, sheeple, what am I going to do with you? P.T. Barnum said, there's a sucker born every minute. And he was right. Folks, there is absolutely nothing new under the sun. We continue tonight with part two

[00:05:00.100 to 00:05:21.320] of the occult history of the Third Reich. If you have ears and you can hear, and if you have a brain and you can think, you can make all the connections you ever need to make as we go into the next to the last episode in the completion of our Mystery Babylon series.

[00:05:36.440 to 00:05:39.300] The Berghof, Mountain Retreats of Adolf Hitler.

[00:05:40.250 to 00:06:00.330] Here, senior party members and their families relax away from the frantic activity of the capital. Yet, even in the peaceful setting of the Bavarian Alps, amongst the tranquil scenes of domestic life, there is an unsettling presence. The racial elite of the new order. The SS. How

[00:06:21.170 to 00:06:28.680] can we arrest racial decay? Asks Adolf Hitler. Shall we form a select company of the truly initiated?

[00:06:29.630 to 00:06:59.170] an order, the Brotherhood of Templars around the Holy Grail of pure blood. By 1934, almost ten years after its creation, the SS is in the process of becoming Hitler's Brotherhood of Templars. The hand-picked, disciplined, and fiercely loyal bodyguard of the Fuhrer is being transformed into an Aryan elite, a mystical order dedicated to the creation of an empire. The

[00:07:03.500 to 00:07:06.880] strange and terrifying doctrines of National Socialism

[00:07:07.370 to 00:07:15.910] The Aryan is the race of the future. Providence has decreed that the Aryans will subjugate all other peoples. In

[00:07:24.400 to 00:07:48.340] the vanguard of the Nazi mission will be the black-clad rights of the SS. This carefully selected elite is intended to be the spot from which will come a new and superior breed of human. The Superman, a caste of men born to rule. It is Heinrich Himmler who will forge Hitler's guard into a racial aristocracy.

[00:07:49.410 to 00:08:03.910] Under Himmler's leadership, the SS will become a state within a state. Obsessed with secrecy and bound by solemn ritual, the SS will become a force of unprecedented power and authority. The

[00:08:09.000 to 00:08:22.820] origins of this, the most sinister of all Nazi creations, do not lie in the personal visions of Heinrich Himmler or his Führer. The roots of the SS go deeper even than National Socialism itself. By

[00:08:26.030 to 00:08:26.510] 1900,

[00:08:27.520 to 00:08:56.960] The cities of Germany and Austria have changed beyond all recognition. Millions have abandoned the poverty of peasant life, the slave in the mills and foundries of the Industrial Revolution. As their populations swell with the influx of labor, elegant centers of commercial and aristocratic life become teeming industrial slums. It is in the cities that the values of the old order are challenged.

[00:08:57.980 to 00:09:14.100] Calls for democracy and socialism threaten the traditional power of the ruling elites. Established religious beliefs are undermined by science and the rising tide of materialism. To many, the new world seems fractured and chaotic.

[00:09:21.910 to 00:09:34.170] Amongst the aristocratic and educated classes in the first decade of the 20th century, the overriding mood is one of nostalgia. There is a powerful yearning for a vanished past.

[00:09:34.690 to 00:09:39.190] A past believed to have been more harmonious, orderly, and spiritual. For

[00:09:46.970 to 00:10:00.020] industrialized Europe, new movements arise, devoted to the search for simplicity. In Germany, the movement calls itself Lebensreform, Life Reform. It is

[00:10:00.060 to 00:10:17.430] pledged to the restoration of a more natural way of living. Tens of thousands of German youth join the von der Vogel, the birds of passage. Its members share a mystical love of the German countryside and revere German folklore and ritual. While

[00:10:22.780 to 00:10:34.970] science and medicine are rejected as products of the industrial revolution, vegetarianism, herbal healing, nudism, communal living and meditation become fashionable pursuits.

[00:10:36.680 to 00:10:57.710] In every major city, cults devoted to spiritualism, astrology, magic, and the occult flourish among the disciples of life reform. Of all the doctrines favored by the movement, none will be more influential than those preached by the Russian adventurist and telepath, Madame Helena Blavatsky. In

[00:11:03.730 to 00:11:08.420] 1888, Madame Blavatsky claimed to have traveled to Tibet.

[00:11:09.090 to 00:11:34.270] and there to have been initiated into the secrets of spiritual masters she calls the Hidden Elect. In the doctrines of occultists, the Hidden Elect, or the Great White Brotherhood, are believed to be humans who, by initiation and self-denial, have risen to become adepts. They have gained powers and knowledge beyond those of ordinary mortals.

[00:11:35.460 to 00:11:57.180] In Britain, Alastair Crowley, a magician of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, claimed in 1909 to have crossed the abyss and to have returned as an adept. Madame Blavatsky did not claim to be an adept in her own right, but she did claim constant telepathic communication with her hidden masters. They

[00:12:00.010 to 00:12:05.610] had revealed to her, their chosen one, the occult history of the human race, according

[00:12:12.590 to 00:12:13.710] to Madame Blavatsky.

[00:12:14.050 to 00:12:29.630] Each round of the cosmic cycle has associated with it seven root races. The first root race to evolve on Earth she calls the Astral Race. It was a race of pure spirit, the highest form of existence.

[00:12:33.400 to 00:12:51.010] The second race she calls the Hyperborean Race. Its home was a now-vanished continent in the Northern Ocean. The third race was the Lemurians. Levatsky is clear about the reason for the fall of the Lemurian Race.

[00:12:51.680 to 00:13:24.400] It had interbred with animals. The fourth race in the history revealed to Madame Blavatsky is the race of Atlantis. The Atlanteans had possessed psychic powers and had constructed giant cities using an energy source of mysterious origins. The Atlanteans were destroyed in a great flood. The fifth root race Madame Blavatsky sees as the race of hope. The race that had once founded the culture of ancient Greece.

[00:13:24.960 to 00:13:42.280] and soon would return man to the pinnacle of spirituality. That race she named the Aryan. By 1914, Blavatsky's mystical doctrine of the destiny of Aryan man has spread throughout Germany and Austria.

[00:13:57.440 to 00:14:14.220] There is little sense of impending capitalism. All over Europe, news of war is greeted with unqualified enthusiasm. In all the warring nations, the emotions of militant nationalism are given free reign.

[00:14:16.260 to 00:14:30.740] In the ranks of the Austrian and German armies, there is a widespread belief that the aspirations of a generation may be satisfied at last. The unification of German-speaking peoples and the creation of a Germanic empire. To

[00:14:37.470 to 00:14:45.410] the frontline soldiers of the imperial armies, the teachings of the Austrian clairvoyant Guido von Liss are an inspiration.

[00:14:47.550 to 00:15:00.040] Just believes that in the Germans, more than in any other people, runs the blood of the mythical race called by Madame Blavatsky, the Aryans. To list the Great War

[00:15:00.040 to 00:15:29.700] is proof that the modern world with its materialism and its democracy is destroying itself. But out of war and destruction will come the victory of the German cause and the beginning of an Aryan millennium. Liszt revives the prayer of the 16th century philosopher and heretic Giordano Bruno. O Job, let the Germans realize their own strength, and they shall not be men, but gods.

[00:15:51.900 to 00:16:16.480] Like Alastair Crowley and Madame Blavatsky, Liszt's psychic researches have led him to believe in the existence of a hidden elect. His visions of the ancient German tribes have revealed to him an elite class of priest rulers. Liszt calls it the Armanenschaft. The role of the Armanenschaft was to preserve the occult knowledge of the Germans' Aryan ancestors.

[00:16:22.530 to 00:16:51.060] claims that the imposition of Christianity on the Teutonic tribes and the persecution of the followers of the old religion forced the Armanenshaft to continue its traditions in secret. Their law had lived on in the rituals and symbols of a network of secret societies. The store of occult knowledge had been preserved down the centuries by Freemasons, Rosicrucians, and chivalrous orders such as the Knights Templar.

[00:16:53.380 to 00:17:20.050] So great is List's influence among German and German-Austrian nationalists that many army officers have joined the secret occultist organization inspired by his teachings. The German Order, founded in May 1912, has lodges in ten German cities. The government of the Order is by a secret twelve-man council of initiates, calling itself the Armonist Assembly.

[00:17:21.630 to 00:17:36.940] The future Aryan Empire will, according to List, be governed by a similar council of initiates, a new Armanenshah. In the design of the future SS, List's Armanist assembly will not be forgotten.

[00:17:43.620 to 00:17:58.820] Prediction that the Great War would see the victory of Imperial Germany over its democratic and degenerate enemies will not be fulfilled. By 1918, the German economy is in ruins and the Kaiser's armies are crumbling.

[00:18:00.770 to 00:18:35.240] To the men at the front, the failure of the Imperial war machine is inexplicable. In 1918, Germany had won several major battles. The Russian enemy had already collapsed. The theories of a conspiracy abound. Many believe that Germany has been betrayed from within. The blame is placed squarely on the shoulders of the traditional targets of the German nationalist movement, Democrats and Jews. To the followers of Guido von List.

[00:18:36.060 to 00:19:01.520] All that is valuable seems irretrievably lost. A government of unknown politicians has accepted the humiliating terms of the Versailles Treaty. Worst of all, the Kaiser and the German princes have abdicated. Germany has become a democratic republic. The abdication of the Kaiser is a stunning blow to the occultists of the German order.

[00:19:02.650 to 00:19:33.560] Guido von List had taught that the aristocracy of Germany had been founded in ancient times by the Armannenschaft itself. In the aristocracy was to be found the purest of Aryan blood, and with it the strongest remaining traces of the Aryan psychic powers. In the aftermath of the Great War, faced with the twin threat of democracy and socialism, traditionalists eagerly embrace List's mystical belief in the German nobility.

[00:19:35.070 to 00:19:58.950] But by now, a new concept of aristocracy is in the process of development. Side by side with the teachings of Liszt, it will become the cornerstone of Nazi ideology and the future SS. Since the mid-19th century, the evolutionary theories of Charles Darwin had challenged religious beliefs held sacred for centuries.

[00:20:01.660 to 00:20:20.420] by the end of the Great War, many physicians, scientists, and politicians have come to see in Darwinism a formula for social and political action. Belief in the equality of man is seen as simply unscientific. The new slogan is the survival of the fittest. In

[00:20:22.920 to 00:20:31.750] Darwin's The Descent of Man, published in 1871, he speculates on the effect of modern medicine on the future course of human evolution.

[00:20:33.830 to 00:21:04.420] With savages, the weak in body or mind are soon eliminated. We civilized men, on the other hand, do our best to check the process of elimination. The weak members of civilized society propagate their kind. This, argues Darwin, must be highly injurious to the race of man. Excepting in the case of man himself, hardly anyone is so ignorant as to allow his worst animals to breed.

[00:21:04.920 to 00:21:04.920] In

[00:21:10.620 to 00:21:33.390] Britain, the family fanning movement, led by the scientist Marie Stokes, is preoccupied with the supposed threat to the health of the race posed by uncontrolled breeding. Marie Stokes' work on birth control, Wise Parenthood, first published in 1918, is dedicated to all those who wish to see our race grow in strength and beauty.

[00:21:36.480 to 00:22:09.800] is concerned with the tendency revealed by the national census for the lower classes to produce more children than the upper classes. The numbers of our population, she states, increasingly tend to be made up from the less thrifty and the less conscientious. In America, the compulsory sterilization of the mentally handicapped, of alcoholics, and of persistent criminals has been legal in certain states since 1907. Mari Stokes advocates similar policies for Britain.

[00:22:10.500 to 00:22:27.970] including the sterilization of male children with an epileptic or mentally handicapped parent, uncle or aunt. The family planning movement is part of a broader movement aimed at directing and accelerating the evolution of the human race by selective breeding. It

[00:22:33.800 to 00:22:47.190] calls itself eugenics. By 1918, eugenics has become so influential that the British Medical Journal publishes an article in which a noted physician can write,

[00:22:47.900 to 00:23:02.290] There is no equality in nature among children nor among adults. And if there is to be a much needed improvement in the race, we must breed from the physically, morally and intellectually fit.

[00:23:08.050 to 00:23:25.920] Eugenics spreads to Germany, acquiring the new name racial hygiene. University departments and institutes are founded devoted to the new science. By the 1920s, eugenics has won widespread support amongst the German medical establishment.

[00:23:27.100 to 00:23:31.840] It has also had a profound effect on the doctrines of the German occultists. In

[00:23:44.650 to 00:24:11.400] 1919, Guido von List, a prophet of the Aryan millennium, dies in Berlin at the age of 70. His place as Germany's leading mystic and Aryan visionary has been taken by Georg Lanz. Lanz, an ex-Cistercian monk and respected biblical scholar, will have a profound impact on the development of Nazi ideology and on the structure and ritual of the future SS.

[00:24:13.350 to 00:24:29.410] Lance has blended the Aryan occultism of Guido von List and the principles of the science of eugenics. He calls his new doctrine theozoology. Theozoology is an occult religion of race. By

[00:24:34.950 to 00:24:50.250] Madame Blavatsky's mystical history of racial evolution, Lance claims that the decline of the Aryans occurred because they had committed bestiality with a subhuman species. The result was the creation of many mixed races.

[00:24:50.850 to 00:24:55.670] Racist whose very existence threatens the rightful dominance of the Aryans.

[00:25:01.380 to 00:25:13.090] Like this, Lance believed that the early Aryans possessed the power of telepathy. Interbreeding with racial inferiors had led to the loss of their paranormal abilities. Why

[00:25:17.100 to 00:25:25.380] do you seek a hell in the next world, Lance asks? Is not the hell in which we live and which burns inside us sufficiently dreadful?

[00:25:28.420 to 00:25:35.560] Lance, the hell which burns inside is the impure blood in the veins of even the purest of Aryans.

[00:25:42.270 to 00:25:50.530] The teachings of Georg Lanz are propagated throughout Germany and Austria by his own journal, Ostara, founded in 1905.

[00:25:53.580 to 00:26:14.660] Lanz claims that over 100,000 copies of Ostara a year are sold. He even claims that amongst his eminent subscribers is the British general Kitchener. In the pages of Ostara, and in a series of widely read essays, Lanz develops a terrifying prescription for the purification of the race.

[00:26:15.840 to 00:26:45.260] He proposes polygamy to increase the birth rate of the racially purest. Eugenic convents are to be established, in which chosen women he calls broodmothers will produce children for pure-blooded Aryan males. While the racially impure and the physically or mentally unfit are to be sterilized, other races, deemed inferior, are to be deported to Madagascar or used as slave labor. In

[00:26:49.650 to 00:26:51.090] the future Nazi state,

[00:26:51.650 to 00:26:57.680] All of Lance's proposals will be given the most serious consideration. Some will be put into practice.

[00:27:02.140 to 00:27:25.560] Massive compulsory sterilization campaign will be directed at those judged physically, mentally, or racially inferior. The deportation of German Jews to Madagascar will be discussed in the upper echelons of the party. The SS will plan for the official introduction of polygamy and will fund its own SS breeding program. To

[00:27:33.440 to 00:27:34.040] your glance,

[00:27:34.780 to 00:28:04.150] The legends of the Knights of the Holy Grail are more than the products of the medieval imagination. Lance believed that they were the Knights Templar founded in the 12th century and paying for their part in the Christian Crusades. Lance believed that the Crusades were an attempt to hold back the inferior races of the East. The Holy Grail was an electrical force representing the psychic powers of the pure-blooded Aryans.

[00:28:05.220 to 00:28:37.720] The search for the Grail was the search for racial purity. In 1907, Lance formed an occult society dedicated to a new crusade. He called it the Order of the New Templars. In the castle of Bergwerfenstein in Upper Austria, Lance founded the Order's first headquarters. Other Order priories soon followed. The occult rituals of the New Templars are based on Lance's monastic experience.

[00:28:38.470 to 00:28:53.370] and his own specially composed songs, prayers, and readings. The theme is an appeal to the Aryan Christ, Ray Uja, for salvation from racial impurity and for the extermination of inferior races. The

[00:29:01.700 to 00:29:13.330] order are explicit. Harmonize science, art, and ethics into an occult religion devoted to the purification of the Aryan race in all countries of the world in

[00:29:18.520 to 00:29:20.820] anticipation of the practices of the SS.

[00:29:21.540 to 00:29:25.040] Prospective members and their marriages are racially vetted. For

[00:29:28.660 to 00:29:54.190] Lance, the new Templars are the beginning of a new order. No longer will parliaments determine the fate of the people, Lance proclaims. In their place will rule wise priest kings and leaders of chivalrous and spiritual secret orders. In reality, it will not be the occultists of the new Templars who will create the Aryan aristocracy of the future.

[00:29:55.420 to 00:30:00.150] The mystical doctrines preached by Lance will be put into practice by others. Above

[00:30:00.120 to 00:30:06.700] all, by a man who since the age of 20 has been an avid collector of Astana. In

[00:30:10.870 to 00:30:29.960] the closing months of 1918, Corporal Adolf Hitler, holder of the Iron Cross First Class, will come to the attention of his superior officers. A near mutiny of the demobilization camp at which Hitler is stationed is brought under control by his powerful oratory. In

[00:30:33.490 to 00:30:34.670] September 1919,

[00:30:35.870 to 00:30:48.050] Hitler, now a civilian, is called upon once more by the army command, this time to spy on an insignificant nationalist group calling itself the German Workers' Party. Within

[00:30:51.640 to 00:31:03.550] months, Hitler has joined the party and has begun to speak at meetings. By January 1920, he has been elected head of propaganda and has drawn up a new party constitution.

[00:31:07.010 to 00:31:12.110] The army intelligence captain who had first recruited Hitler as a spy has been retired.

[00:31:13.410 to 00:31:19.390] Its replacement as Hitler's army sponsor is the 32-year-old Captain Ernst Röhm, who I

[00:31:57.700 to 00:32:21.680] regard as a courageous frontline officer and an outstanding organizer. The Bavarian Army Command has given Röhm the task of circumventing the arms restrictions imposed by the Treaty of Versailles. He is to establish secret arms dumps and organize the many nationalist paramilitary groups in Bavaria into an unofficial army reserve.

[00:32:25.700 to 00:32:53.200] One such group of irregulars is the powerful force commanded by ex-naval captain Hermann Erhardt. The Erhardt Brigade has played a major role in combating socialist revolution in Bavaria. It is Ernst Röhm who brings together Erhardt and Adolf Hitler. Public meetings of the early Nazi party are defended by stewards known as the Athletics and Sports Detachment.

[00:32:55.140 to 00:33:06.740] In the summer of 1921, Ernst Röhm arranges that officers of the Erhardt Brigade should become the commanders of a new party defense force, the SA Storm Detachment. To

[00:33:10.810 to 00:33:26.000] end off Hitler and the Nazi party, the function of the SA is to protect party speakers and make an impressive show of force when the occasion demands. But the SA has another role. It is an unofficial part of the German army.

[00:33:26.430 to 00:33:33.370] It is trained by army officers, numbered in army mobilization plans, and controlled by Rome and Erhardt.

[00:33:38.480 to 00:33:54.620] Hitler is well aware that the allegiance of the SA does not lie with him or with the party. He knows that as party leader, he needs a force upon which he can rely utterly. The shock troop Hitler is the prototype for the SS. November

[00:34:03.680 to 00:34:11.140] 1923. Adolf Hitler is jailed for his part in an attempt to overthrow the government of Bavaria.

[00:34:11.870 to 00:34:46.090] The Nazi party and the SA are banned. Hitler's shock troop bodyguard is scattered. During his imprisonment, Hitler writes his political testament, Mein Kampf, and ponders the future of the party and of the SA. It is clear that eventually he must revive the SA, but he must also reform and strengthen his own personal guard. Hitler's requirements for his new force are clear. I told myself then that I needed a bodyguard, even a very restricted one.

[00:34:46.810 to 00:34:51.110] but made up of men ready to march against their own brothers. On

[00:34:54.990 to 00:35:00.170] December the 20th, 1924, Hitler is released from prison. He

[00:35:00.160 to 00:35:20.910] has served only nine months of a five-year sentence, but his trial and imprisonment have made him a national figure. Two months after his release, Hitler formally reconstitutes the Nazi party and reforms the SA under a new commander. Rome and Hitler have argued and parted companies.

[00:35:24.770 to 00:35:55.840] In April 1925, Hitler orders his chauffeur and ex-bodyguard, Julius Schreck, to form a new force for the defense of the Fuhrer and the protection of party headquarters. It is the Schutzstaffel Protection Squad, the SS. To set themselves apart from the SA, the SS wear black caps bearing a silver death's head insignia. To the intense irritation of the SA, the SS is soon behaving as an elite.

[00:35:56.960 to 00:36:13.410] SS entry requirements are far stricter than those of the SA. SS discipline is more severe. The SS attend all party meetings but never speak. Already, its unofficial motto is, the aristocracy keeps its mouth shut. On

[00:36:15.980 to 00:36:29.560] July the 4th, 1926, Hitler confirms the SS as his elite organization. At the second party rally at Weimar, he gives the SS guardianship of the party's most sacred relic.

[00:36:30.080 to 00:36:45.650] The flag drenched in the blood of party fighters killed in the coup of 1923. As custodians of the blood banner, the SS are entrusted with the Nazi symbol of martyrdom in the struggle for Aryan supremacy. The

[00:36:50.680 to 00:36:59.220] transformation of the SS from the elite guard of the Fuhrer into the mystical order it will eventually become will be the work of one man. He

[00:37:01.820 to 00:37:05.890] is Heinrich Himmler, the most enigmatic of all Nazi leaders.

[00:37:11.940 to 00:37:35.990] is a devoted follower of the Aryan occultism of Guido von List and Georg Lanz, who dreams of a Germanic empire ruled by a mystical order of the Aryan elite. He is determined that this elite should be drawn from the ranks of the SS. Superman, the new breed of Germanic ruler, is to be created from the stock which

[00:37:45.020 to 00:37:53.350] is appointed head of the SS in January 1929. For almost a year, he and his wife have been smallholders and poultry farmers.

[00:37:55.360 to 00:38:11.040] Since early youth, Himmler has been an eager convert to the teachings of the movement for life reform. The land, he believes, is the origin of all that is good. Cities are the source of all that is unhealthy, corrupt, and immoral.

[00:38:17.180 to 00:38:28.560] Yeoman, on his own acre, writes Himmler, is the background of the German people's strength and character. Himmler has long been associated with the Ottoman League.

[00:38:29.150 to 00:38:43.080] A nationalist and anti-Slavic movement of city youth committed to life on the land and the expansion of German farming to the east. The oath of the Ottoman League is sworn by blood and soil. In

[00:38:53.040 to 00:39:00.980] the Ottoman League, Hitler has met the man who will transform the oath by blood and soil into a central doctrine of the SS.

[00:39:03.290 to 00:39:19.630] Walter Darre, an ex-official in the Prussian Ministry of Agriculture, the relationship between German blood and German soil is a source of mystical power. Questions of agriculture are not questions of economics, but of race and destiny.

[00:39:25.660 to 00:39:37.240] In 1930, Hitler's fantasies of an Aryan future are the least of Hitler's concerns. The unity of the party and Hitler's own future as its leader are under threat.

[00:39:42.210 to 00:39:59.670] With the economic depression at its height, Germany's unemployed flood into the ranks of the SA. The stormtroopers now number 100,000 men. To the radicals of the SA, National Socialism promises the destruction of the traditional German ruling classes.

[00:40:01.710 to 00:40:12.910] In the eyes of the stormtroopers, the industrialists, army officers, and aristocrats, who are the Nazi party's most influential supporters, are no more than contemptible parasites.

[00:40:15.760 to 00:40:23.320] In protest at the political alliances which Hitler has formed, many SA commanders withdraw their men from the party's service.

[00:40:29.370 to 00:40:35.890] The Nazi propaganda chief warns Hitler that a split within the SA and within the party is imminent.

[00:40:37.440 to 00:40:51.360] Hitler's solution is to recall the only man he believes capable of reuniting the SA, Ernst Röhm. Röhm will succeed in the task Hitler has set for him. He will pay for success with his life. As

[00:40:56.270 to 00:41:09.510] Röhm sets about the unification and expansion of the SA, Himmler takes a different road. His strategy is not one of rapid expansion. Instead, he concentrates on careful and systematic selection.

[00:41:15.170 to 00:41:48.870] Himmler had won a valuable concession from Hitler. The SS would be allowed to recruit from the ranks of the SA. Himmler proceeds to put into practice his theories of breeding. We went about it like a nursery gardener trying to reproduce a good old strain which has been adulterated and evased. I started with a minimum height requirement. I knew that men of a certain height must somewhere possess the blood I desire. On December the 31st, 1931,

[00:41:49.640 to 00:42:02.620] Himmler establishes the SS Race and Resettlement Bureau. It is to be headed by his old friend, Walter Darre. Darre is awarded the rank of Honorary SS General. The

[00:42:08.610 to 00:42:24.540] task of the Race and Resettlement Bureau is to prepare for the future colonization of the East by pure-blooded Germans. It is also instructed to conduct research into racial ancestry, biological selection, and the history of the areas.

[00:42:26.050 to 00:42:32.970] Its staff of leading academics and medical men are ordered by Himmler to develop stricter requirements for SF entry.

[00:42:36.910 to 00:42:59.120] Physicians assess the degree of racial purity of each applicant by physical examination. Only those considered pure or predominantly Nordic are acceptable. The applicant's physique is also judged on a nine-point scale. The examiners are instructed to take into account the attitude and bearing of the candidate.

[00:42:59.970 to 00:43:13.250] Himmler has decreed, in his attitude to discipline, the man should not behave like an underling. His case, his hands, everything should correspond to the ideal which we have set ourselves. To

[00:43:19.370 to 00:43:37.740] Himmler, selection is only the first step in his plan to reclaim the Aryan blood latent in the German people. The second stage is the control of SS breeding. The Race and Resettlement Bureau is charged with the task of racially vetting SS marriages.

[00:43:40.860 to 00:44:13.110] Prospective brides of SS men are required to prove the purity of their Aryan blood back to the year 1750. By 1933, the Bureau will be examining almost 2,000 SS marriage applications a month. It is the beginning of the largest and most terrifying eugenics experiment in human history. From 1935, the Race and Resettlement Bureau will be empowered to vet the marriages of the entire civilian population of Germany.

[00:44:16.900 to 00:44:27.520] Heinrich Himmler is so confident of success that he predicts that in 120 years, the entire German people should once more be pure-blooded Aryans.

[00:44:33.380 to 00:44:51.140] Himmler knows that the realization of his Aryan vision depends above all on the SS becoming the most powerful organization in the Nazi party and in the German state. Already, Hitler has given the SS the role of carrying out police and intelligence duties within the party.

[00:44:52.030 to 00:44:56.090] Imler is quick to seize the opportunity to expand his power. In

[00:45:00.320 to 00:45:17.150] In 1931, Hitler recruits a 33-year-old ex-naval officer, Reinhard Heydrich, to found an SS security service. The establishment of the SD will be the first stage in Hitler's creation of an SS state within a state.

[00:45:33.780 to 00:45:41.400] In 1932, two elections for the presidency of Germany deliver to Hitler 30% of the national vote. In

[00:45:47.070 to 00:45:52.390] the July parliamentary elections, Hitler campaigns in 50 cities in the space of two weeks.

[00:45:53.090 to 00:46:06.180] His efforts are amply rewarding. The party wins over 13 million votes and 230 seats in the Reichstag. Hitler demands the post of Chancellor. Parliament refuses. The

[00:46:18.860 to 00:46:36.140] election on November the 6th sees the Nazi vote fall by 2 million. The Communists increase their vote by almost 1 million and win 100 seats. With no party having an overall majority, the Conservatives in Parliament choose an alliance with the Nazis.

[00:46:37.210 to 00:46:43.250] Hitler's price for cooperation is the chancellorship. This time, he has not refused. In

[00:46:47.030 to 00:47:05.160] spite of his growing power within the party, Heinrich Himmler is not awarded a ministerial post in the new government. But the man Hitler calls, my loyal Heinrich, did not complain to his Fuhrer. Himmler's ambition extends far beyond the control of a mere government department.

[00:47:11.200 to 00:47:15.520] During his youth, Himmler had spent three years as a student of agriculture.

[00:47:17.090 to 00:47:30.240] In the college-fencing fraternity to which Himmler belonged, Jorg Lanz's occultist periodical Ostara was widely read. Of all the prophecies made by Lanz, one would become Himmler's obsession.

[00:47:34.810 to 00:47:51.540] Astrological grounds, Lanz foretold the invasion of Europe from the east. Himmler comes to believe that it is the destiny of the SS to repel the coming assault. The great battles he foresees will be a prelude to the final victory of the Aryans.

[00:47:55.740 to 00:48:01.800] Already Himmler has identified the figure of German history who will become his idol and his inspiration.

[00:48:05.120 to 00:48:28.230] Heinrich I, German king of the Saxons, had in the 10th century fought and conquered the Slavic tribes of the East. So great will Himmler's devotion to the king become that he will make an annual pilgrimage to Heinrich's tomb. He will believe himself the reincarnation of the king and the recipient of psychic messages from the spirit of the dead ruler.

[00:48:34.210 to 00:48:53.300] Himmler believes that his divine mission is to complete the work of King Heinrich. He will create from the SS a knightly order which will rule the coming Aryan Empire. But, for a time at least, Himmler's visions of the future must take second place to practical politics. From

[00:49:00.000 to 00:49:11.290] 1933, Himmler's objective is to win control of Germany's many state police forces. A major obstacle to his ambition is Hermann Göring.

[00:49:12.480 to 00:49:26.190] Goering is now minister-president of Prussia and chief of the Prussian secret police, the Gestapo. Goering sees himself as prime candidate for the job of chief of a new unified German police force. In

[00:49:36.310 to 00:49:53.800] Goering's campaign to eliminate Prussian communists and all other opponents of national socialism, he employs the SA as auxiliaries to the police and the Gestapo. The Berlin SA are the most brutal and the most feared storm troop detachments in Germany.

[00:49:57.050 to 00:50:00.070] Their hatred of the middle classes almost equals their

[00:50:00.100 to 00:50:01.740] hatred of Jews and communists.

[00:50:04.800 to 00:50:14.980] But Goering is unconcerned. It is not my business to do justice, he proclaims. It is my business to annihilate and exterminate. That is all.

[00:50:20.780 to 00:50:38.750] In the capital and throughout Prussia, Goering unleashes a reign of terror in which thousands are interred in SA concentration camps. The situation is fast becoming a national scandal. The party's supporters amongst the middle and upper classes are outraged.

[00:50:39.800 to 00:50:45.760] Hitler is persuaded that command of a unified German police force cannot be entrusted to Goering.

[00:50:48.400 to 00:51:12.450] Himmler has won a major victory. One by one, the state police forces will fall under his control. In April 1934, Himmler wins the greatest prize of all. He succeeds in forcing Goering to hand over control of the Gestapo. Now, only one court stands between Himmler and the power he seeks.

[00:51:33.260 to 00:51:34.680] Spring 1934.

[00:51:35.580 to 00:51:41.900] Ernst Röhm, leader of the SA, conducts his own version of Hitler's flag consecration ritual. It

[00:51:44.890 to 00:51:49.130] is assigned to the four million strong SA of Röhm's power and independence.

[00:51:53.230 to 00:52:04.490] Röhm's intention is to create from the SA a new National Socialist German army with himself as its commander-in-chief. The regular army commanders become increasingly anxious.

[00:52:11.550 to 00:52:17.370] Under cover of inspecting a naval exercise, Hitler holds a secret meeting with the army generals.

[00:52:18.660 to 00:52:34.370] He gives them his assurance that in exchange for their support, the army will continue to be Germany's only military force. Hitler promises that Rome will be dealt with. The agent of his destruction is to be Himmler's SS. And

[00:52:38.630 to 00:52:48.930] his deputy, Heydrich, can try the evidence that Rome and the SA are planning a coup against Hitler. A list of the supposed conspirators is drawn up.

[00:52:49.760 to 00:52:56.380] It includes not only the leadership of the SA, but all those who have opposed the growing power of the SS. The

[00:52:59.900 to 00:53:11.840] bloodbath that Himmler unleashes on June 30, 1934, will become known as the Night of the Long Knives. Up to 500 will be murdered by SS executioners.

[00:53:18.920 to 00:53:23.400] The murder of the SA leadership is greeted with relief by the German army. On

[00:53:27.440 to 00:53:34.680] the death of President Hindenburg on the 2nd of August, 1934, and the confirmation of Hitler as President of Germany,

[00:53:35.330 to 00:53:47.200] The army willingly changes its oath of allegiance. He is now sworn not to the German state or to the constitution, but to Adolf Hitler himself. The true

[00:54:00.900 to 00:54:22.720] victor of the night of the long lives is not the German army. It is the SS. On July the 20th, 1934, a grateful Fuhrer decrees that the SS is to be an independent organization within the party. Ignoring his pledge that the army is to be the Reich's only military force,

[00:54:23.360 to 00:54:33.990] He gives permission for the SS to form its own military units. In time, the Waffen, or armed SS, will number almost one million men. In

[00:54:38.950 to 00:54:59.150] the summer of 1934, Himmler has won total independence for his SS elite. His eugenics program is established. He has begun the process of winning control of all German police and security services. With Hitler's blessing, he has created the nucleus of an SS army.

[00:55:00.170 to 00:55:15.340] Heinrich Himmler is now free to put into effect the next phase of his plan for the SS, the creation of a mystical order of Teutonic Knights, an order which will dominate the coming Aryan millennium.

[00:55:31.560 to 00:55:49.320] Ein Volk, ein Reich, ein Führer. One race, one government, one religion. You'd better wake up out there for the adepts.
