COSMIC DEBRIS: The Hitler Cult Revealed!


Another ad in Fate from Holocaust denier/neonazi Ernst Zundel, here smuggling esoteric nazism to readers with the eye catching line THE HITLER CULT REVEALED! Zundel plays things cool with his ad copy, talking of Hitler's "manic" will to power and promising an expose on the "tangled roots" of nazism, but he tips his hand when he promises that "the clouds of evil [will] scatter under the lightning of Cosmic Justice and the son of Cosmic Truth" - that son is Hitler, baby! Zundel's subject Savitri Devi was one of the prime wellsprings of post-war esoteric nazism. In her book advertised here, The Lightning and the Sun, she claims Hitler to be an incarnation of Vishnu (!) and blends Hitlerism with Hindu cosmology. Just as with the UFO subject, Zundel saw this kooky approach as a perfect moneymaking opportunity to fund his Holocaust denial:
She was the first person to tell Zündel of her claim that the Nazi genocide of the Jews was untrue; he proposed a series of taped interviews (conducted in November 1978) and published a new illustrated edition of The Lightning and the Sun in 1979.

If you see modern online nazis making irreverent memes about the Kali Yuga, they got it from Savitri Devi. She also wrote an "autobiography" of two of her cats, just like that ol' fraud Lobsang Rampa. Hers was titled Long-Whiskers and the Two-Legged Goddess, or The True Story of a "Most Objectionable Nazi" and... half-a-dozen Cats. Minor points to Rampa for not heiling Hitler in his goofy cat story ...

No contest

Typical of Zundel's overheated spiel, Savitri Devi wasn't Hitler's personal guru as might be taken from the ad, but she did work for the Axis in WWII and was in contact postwar with the nazi underground and notable scumbags like Otto SkorzenyShe passed away not too long after this ad, in 1982 at the age of 77. Rest in piss, you nazi bitch!

From Fate, Volume 33 - Number 02, February 1980.
