HITLER
AND STALIN WERE GREATLY INTERESTED IN THE MAGIC OF ANCIENT RUNES

by Mitch on February 15, 2011 0
Comments

A young doctor died a sudden death in Sweden lately. He quickly succumbed to
cancer. The circumstances of his death are still enshrouded in mystery. He is
said to have found a treasure-trove several months prior to his demise. One of
the coins was engraved with an ancient rune meaning “need.” The doctor did not
believe his friends who had repeatedly warned him that the coin with the rune
was in fact a curse against a finder.

“Paganism has again become hugely popular in Western Europe,” says Anton
Platov, an author of a book on the runic magic. “The whole thing sprang from a
mystical event on a nationwide scale. A mighty thunderstorm broke out in Iceland
shortly after the Icelandic government refused to grant an official registration
to a neo-pagan community. It was a third refusal. Then the thunderstorm started
to rage across the sky. The thunderbolts were hitting ...

The grainy black and white photo is surely one of a kind. Seated at a table
are two “Aryans” and three Asians, at least two of whom are clad in Wehrmacht
uniforms of the German Third Reich, but with rising sun insignias on their upper
right shoulders. (The image at left is a crop of the photo showing one of the
Japanese.) If authentic, this would cast light on something that should stop
scholars of World War II in their tracks.

Writing about his find in Jitsuwa Knuckles (April), Takeshi Tanaka
notes that an estimated 2 million foreigners served in volunteer units augmented
to the German army during the war, including Ukrainians, Latvians, Finns,
Croatians and Indians.

The individuals in the photo are at this point unidentified, but the picture
suggests Japanese may have served in German units. According to Tanaka, a note
accompanying the photo states that the men ...

Nazi
Commandos Recover the Ark of the Covenant? The Strange Tale of Otto Skorzeny and
the Castle of Montségur
by

Above: SS Colonel Otto Skorzeny, once called "the most dangerous man in
Europe" lived out the rest of his life in Spain after being cleared of war
crimes. He died in a car crash, or from cancer (depending on source) in 1975, a
multi-millionaire.

In 1991, a somewhat strange book appeared making some extraordinary claims
about a treasure supposedly recovered by the Nazis from the south of France in
1944.

Written by Howard Buechner, a medical doctor and veteran of world war II,
Emerald Cup - Ark of Gold states that a famous German commando, Otto
Skorzeny, was sent to France to recover the treasure of the Cathars, supposedly
smuggled out of the mountain fortress of Montségur a few days before its
eventual fall to an army of crusaders in 1244.

Although Otto Skorzeny wrote several books detailing his war time exploits,
he never mentions the alleged recovery of the Cathar ...

The Anubis Gates- the real story of Jurassic Reich

1800    Twelve
months after unearthing the Rosetta Stone, Napoleon’s troops in Egypt uncover a
large, ancient Egyptian artifact. It is taken to Paris for exhibition, but ends
up in storage.

1940    Germany occupies France.  In the
vaults of the Louvre Museum the artifact is found and taken to
Berlin.    Himmler learns of the artifact and commissions a team
from the Ahnenerbe, the Nazi Occult Bureau, to investigate.

1941    German scientists discover that the
artifact is a gateway back to Earth’s prehistoric past. Teams are sent back and
return with living dinosaurs.

1942    Hitler orders the creation of a new
weapon of terror – the Kreigsclaw – units of mounted dinosaurs and
pterodactyls.

The famous film director, “Dino de Laurentis is commissioned to make a
propaganda film demonstrating Germany’s conquest of the primeval forces of
nature.

HOW EFFECTIVE IS A
PANZERFAUST AGAINST A TROLL, HEINZ?

by Gary
Gygax

*

D&D is a game of
many facets, and occasionally we cook up a few little surprises for the boys
planning to play a "straight" battle. In this case one team was carefully primed
for an upcoming WWII miniatures game, while the other team was instructed
regarding a fantasy battle to be fought on the tabletop. How could we mix
moderns with swords &amp; sorcery? The structure of D&D is such that it
easily lends itself to such adaptation, and brief rules will be given at the end
of the article. The orders of battle, situation analyses, and objectives given
to the opponents were:

Gothic Simulacrum

Necromancy

Level:Sor/Wiz 8

Components:V, S, M, XP

Casting Time:12 hours

Range:0 ft.

Effect:One duplicate creature

Duration:Instantaneous

Saving Throw:None

Spell Resistance:No

Gothic Simulacrum creates a duplicate of any creature. The duplicate
creature is partially real and formed from a special alchemical liquid. It
appears to be the same as the original, but it has only one-half of the real
creature’s levels or Hit Dice (and the appropriate hit points, feats, skill
ranks, and special abilities for a creature of that level or HD). You can’t
create a simulacrum of a creature whose Hit Dice or levels exceed twice your
caster level. You must make a Disguise check when you cast the spell to
determine how good the likeness is. A creature familiar with the original might
detect the ruse with a successful Spot check (opposed by the caster ...
