-Caveat Lector- Hitler And The Holy Lance http://user.fastinet.net/kalogonis/index/hitler.htm Many strange stories about Nazi Germany have come down to us in the years since the fall of the Third Reich. But none is more strange or incredible than the one about Hitler and the Spear of Longinus. According to tradition, the Spear of Longinus was the spear which had pierced the side of Christ as he hung upon the cross. Biblical prophecy had decreed that not a bone of the Messiah's body would be broken, and it is believed by many that the piercing of Christ's body by Longinus' Spear helped for that prophecy to be fulfilled. For the breaking of the legs of the two thieves foretold the fate to which Jesus' body would have been subjected had not Longinus proven to the other Roman soldiers that Christ was already dead. Thus, the early Christian community at Jerusalem understood the fact that Jesus' bones had not been broken as being further proof that he really was who he said he was---the Messiah predicted by the Old Testament prophets (not the least of whom was Daniel, who had actually predicted the exact day that the Messiah would be proclaimed to be the King of Israel). At any rate, a legend came to center around the spear which Hitler believed in very strongly; that whosoever possessed the spear and understood its powers for serving good and evil could conquer the world. The spear which Hitler believed to be the True Spear had a history which could be traced at least as far back as Constantine the Great, the Roman Emperor who had legalized Christianity. In addition to Constantine, the spear had been possessed by such men as Theodosius, Alaric (who sacked Rome), Theodoric who turned back Attila the Hun, Justinian, Charles Martel (who had defeated the Moslems at the Battle of Poitiers), Charlemagne, 5 Saxon emperors who succeeded the Carolingian Dynasty, 7 Hohenstauffen emperors including Frederick Barbarossa and Frederick II, and others as well. Germanic tradition held that Charlemagne had kept the spear with him throughout 47 victorious battles, and had only died when he accidentally dropped it. Barbarossa, like Charlemagne, died within minutes of dropping it as he crossed a stream. Following these warriors, apart from Hitler, no conqueror had paid the legend any heed during the next 500 years with the exception of Napoleon who attempted to take it following the Battle of Austerlitz. Unfortunately for him, it had already been smuggled out of Vienna just prior to the battle, and he never obtained it. Today, the Lance belongs to the House of Hapsburg, and rests in the Hoffburg Museum in Vienna, just as it did in 1938 when Hitler seized it in the name of the Reich. After having declared Austria to be a part of the Reich, der Fuehrer had it loaded on to an armored SS train and taken to Nuremberg on October 13. There it remained in St. Catherine's Church for the next 6 years until it was removed to a safer, protective underground vault where Lt. Walter William Horn, serial number 01326328, of the United States Army took possession of it in the name of the US government at 2:10 PM on April 30, 1945. With the fall the Soviet Union, and the opening up of Soviet archives in addition to recent testimony by former Soviet soldiers who actually captured Hitler's Bunker in Berlin, we have finally been able to confirm that at approximately 3:30 PM, just 80 minutes after the United States took possession of the Spear, that Hitler committed suicide by shooting himself in the head. A strange story, indeed. But true nevertheless. And in conjunction with that story, in an effort to disseminate the truth about Nazi occult activity, and other related topics, this Web Site is dedicated to publicizing the links between Nazism and the occult as well as other possible links between the occult and other modern political organizations. I hope you are well rewarded by your time spent exploring in this Web Site, and that you will write to me and express your thoughts on the subject. Bill Kalogonis We are about to go on a Journey.
