NAZI OCCULT Bibliography
On the off chance that people might find it interesting or useful, here's the complete bibliography of sources I consulted while writing The Nazi Occult, available now wherever fine Osprey Books are sold or directly in ebook form from Osprey. Asterisks mark sensible (if not uncontroversial) history texts; one can generally sort the occult special pleading out of Cook, Flowers, Godwin, Howe, Znamenski, and (surprise!) Levenda, should you care to.
