Although I genuinely respect NS Heathenry’s commitment to research and appreciate his work (even if I disagree with his conclusions), I would like to add a quick note to this idea that Himmler “cultivated astrologists”.

As we know, post-WW2 historians make up plenty of horror stories regarding the Third Reich, including the myth of the Holocaust. I think this claim of Himmler cultivating astrologists is yet another ridiculous accusation by mainstream historians.

Astrology, ariosophy, and “rune reading” (among other Occult practices) were all banned in the Third Reich by 1941 as a result of the “Hess-Aktion” also known as the “Campaign Against Occult Sciences”. This campaign was spearheaded by the SS and SD, especially Reinhard Heydrich, Martin Bormann, and Albert Hartl.

So unless Himmler stopped doing this after 1941, this is probably just completely made up.

"My understanding of the Jewish danger comes from the Talmud itself – the so-called Holy Book, which the Jews have invested with Christianity and therefore call it the Holy Book. You know, all this talk about Christians and Jews believing in the same God is pure absurd."

~ Julius Streicher, in a conversation with court psychologist Dr. Gustavo M. Gilbert, November 14, 1945.

“At this hour, I would ask the Lord God only this: that, as in the past, also in the years to come, He would bless our work and our action, our judgment and our resolution, that He would safeguard us from all false pride and from all cowardly servility, so that He will grant us to find the straight path that His Providence has ordained for the German people, and that He will always give us the courage to do the right thing, never to waver, never to yield in the face of any violence, in the face of any danger”.

~ Adolf Hitler, speech to the Reichstag, February 20, 1938.

The German Faith Movement was not Favored by the NSDAP

(I will cite all my sources in this post with brackets)

The German Faith Movement was not given preferential treatment by the NSDAP. Even Wikipedia admits this [1]. The SS rejected Hauer's (the leader of the German Faith Movement) attempts to create connections between his group and the SS [2]. Eventually, members of the SS were even forbidden from joining the German Faith Movement at all [3]. Not only that, the SS and SD would be the ones to ban the German Faith Movement in 1937 [4]. Also, the German Faith Movement's membership was less than 0.5% of the German population [5] [6].

The excerpt from the book in the screenshot claims that Christian demonstrations were curbed. Although I don't know if this is true, I find it interesting that the book doesn't mention that the NSDAP outright banned all public performances of an "occultist, telepathic, astrological or "supernatural" nature" [7] [8] [9] [10].

Examples of Christian organizations being afforded more rights than the German Faith Movement
Part 1

"The Reich Youth Leadership Office informed the party's Reich Leadership Office in private correspondence that "HJ leaders do not have to make a decision between being an HJ leader or being a Christian."' A Protestant newspaper observed with approval that pastors were to be found addressing outdoor Hitler Youth gatherings. In May 1935 Der Sturmer reported that a troop of Hitler Youth had greeted Protestant pastors "in full uniform" in Berlin."

Examples of Christian organizations being afforded more rights than the German Faith Movement
Part 2

"While HJ members were allowed these prerogatives, the same freedom of religious expression was not granted within the HJ to paganist organizations like the German Faith Movement (or DGB). When the DGB attempted to use a passage from one of Schirach's poems in a promotional flier, the leadership of the HJ voiced its disapproval. Writing to the head office of the Gestapo, the Reich Youth Leadership Office complained: “The Reich Youth Leader has never given the German Faith Movement permission to use this poem for its propaganda purposes. That the Reich Youth Leader moreover has forbidden any propaganda activity in the Hitler Youth for the German Faith Movement is proof that the quote has been misused." Schirach's office requested that the Gestapo confiscate all copies of the leaflet."

Adolf Hitler at the Bayertor in Landsberg am Lech after his release from prison on 20 December 1924.

Heinrich Hoffmann wanted to take the photo outside the prison, but a guard threatened to confiscate his camera if he did, so they drove to an alternative location nearby.

The car they used was a Benz 11/40 hp belonging to Adolf Müller, the owner of the Münchner Buchgewerbehaus, where Völkischer Beobachter was printed. In July of the following year Müller would print the first volume of the first edition of Mein Kampf. The second volume came out roughly a year after this iconic photograph was taken.
