Himmler Occult

In ideological training I forbid every attack against Christ as a person, since such attacks or insults that Christ was a Jew are unworthy of us and certainly untrue historically.
– Heinrich Himmler, Bundesarchiv Berlin-Zehlendorf, 28 June 1937: Berlin

He was a Catholic who in the 1936 left the Church. he was not anti Christian but anti clerical.
He still demonstrated a remarkable degree of flexibility, and continually insisted that SS men who chose to remain active Christians had every right to and must do so.
GOD WITH US!     (To the Germans it was a rallying cry, “a Christian as well as an Imperial motto, the expression of German religious, political and ethnic single-mindedness, or the numerous unity of God’s altar, throne and Volk”) – most people get so confused with Heinrich Himmler and the “Ahnenerbe”, which in simple English terms means Ancestral Heritage (not pagan heritage, if it was pagan, it would be called “heidnischen Erbe”)
In Talmudic Yewbrew notzri (pronounced “nazi”), literally “Followers of Jesus Christ of Nazareth,” means “a Christian;” being that the Third Reich was the most Christianized Nation in Europe.

In the Wewelsburg castle there was also a Christian Chapel — The Latin inscription above the entrance “Domus mea domus orationis vocabitur” (My House shall be called a House of Prayer) reminds of the prince-episcopalian chapel which was placed in the ground floor of the tower originally (before the allies covered it up for the world to know about it).
The green mosaic “sun wheel” is in fact a representation of Christ  (John 8:12) and His Disciples in The Last Supper! The sun represents the Holy Scriptures, the Gospels (Malachi 4:2), “sun of righteousness”, symbolic of Christ.
[Himmler’s earlier warnings that Christian SS be respected were repeated in 1938: See “Bekenntnis der Angehorigen der uniformierten Ordnungspolizei zu religions-und Weltanschauungsgemeinschaften und Teilnahme an Veranstaltungen derselben”: BAZ Schu 245/ 1/ 163-167 (13 June 1938: Berlin).]
In a 1937 speech he showed equal leniency on the question of Kirchenaustritt: “As you know, personally I have chosen to leave the church. But I do not wish for this to become a sport for lower-level leaders. To me it is truly preferable if someone takes one, two or five years to leave the church, thus leaving it out of true conviction, than for someone to follow a fashion, and do it only externally.”
Himmler believed that Jesus Christ was not a Jew. Himmler had trepidations that the average SS man would be unable to distinguish between attacks on the churches and a preservation of Christ. Therefore, in a 1937 memorandum marked “to all SS leaders from Standartenführer up,” Himmler instructed: “In ideological training I forbid every attack against Christ as a person, since such attacks or insults that Christ was a Jew are unworthy of us and certainly untrue historically.” [BAZ Sammlung Schumacher (hereafter Schu) 245/ 2/ 150 (28 June 1937: Berlin).]

He then added significantly , “I desire that SS men be convinced of the worth of our own blood and our past, through knowledge of the actual history of our Volk, the prehistory of our Volk, the greatness and culture of our ancestors, so that they will totally root themselves in the value of the past, present and future.” Not only Christ, but a belief in Christ as a part of German history, was to be respected in the SS. [BAZ NS 19/ 3134/ 2 (16 June 1937: Berlin).]


Further indications of Himmler’s positive feelings about Christianity arose in discussion of SS policies regarding the religious feelings of its members. In a speech to SS leaders in 1936, Himmler spoke of his own family’s Christian attachment and maintained that: “Not once did I touch his convictions, nor he mine.” He then indicated that religious tolerance would be embraced by the SS as well: “I believe that we must maintain such a position towards those elderly who cannot bring themselves to our path. For this reason I have also demonstrated understanding, and will continue to do so in the future , when someone tells me: out of respect for my parents I must have my child baptized. Please! Certainly! [“Rede des Reichsführer-SS anlässlich der Gruppenführer-Besprechung am 8. November 1936 in Dachau,” IfZ F 37/ 3 (8 November 1936: Dachau).]

Himmler consistently maintained that even within the SS, Christian viewpoints, must be respected. Two years earlier, in reaction to a particular incident , he announced: “I forbid SS members to pester, annoy or mock another due to his religious views. Just as the German has never tolerated religious constraint on himself, so are the religious convictions of his neighbours holy and inviolable to him.” This pertained not only to the religious views of individual SS men, but also to their conduct regarding religious institutions: “I most strictly forbid any disturbance as well as any tactlessness regarding religious events of all confessions (i.e. processions of the Catholic Church). Likewise, a tactful deportment when churches are visited out of historical or artistic interest goes without saying.” Himmler added that this order was to be enforced on pain of expulsion, the emphasizes were especially on any “pagan antagonizers”! [BAZ Schu 245/ 2/ 133 (15 September 1934: Berlin).]
He did state publicly that his SS men must believe in God: and this was his private position as well.
Himmler took a favourable view of the Catholic teaching that a childless marriage was the “greatest sin of all.” Himmler stated his belief that “the decline in our birth-rate around 1900 coincided with the time when the German people began to inwardly free themselves from their very keen commitment to the churches.” This aspect of Christian orthodox teaching, Himmler declared to the assembled party members, “we can only welcome from a biological and racial point of view.”  [IfZ F 37/ 3 (16 September 1942: Feldkommandostelle Rußland-Süd).]

Besides the declining birthrate, Himmler credited the Catholic Church with fighting another nemesis of National Socialist ideology: Freemasonry . As he put it in 1940 to his confidant Felix Kersten, “Only one power has not allowed itself to be deceived, the Catholic Church. She is the inexorable enemy of all Masonry. It is certainly known to you that any Catholic is automatically excommunicated the moment he becomes a Mason.” In this same eulogy, Himmler was less charitable to the Protestants: “Only the foolish Evangelical parsons have still not realized what is at stake. They join the Masons without realizing that they are digging their own graves.” [82 Ibid. , 149.]
Himmler also stated: “It’s true enough, and I’ve nothing against Christianity in itself; no doubt it has lofty moral ideas.” Himmler then proceeded to disclose the real reasons for his enmity: “We have to be on our guard against a world power which makes use of Christianity and its organization to oppose our own national resurrection by methods of which we’re everywhere conscious.” [83 Ibid. , 155.] Confronted with the distinction between hatred of Christian institutions and Christian ideology, Himmler stated that he was really anticlerical (especially Protestants with their constant anti-Catholic propaganda), not anti-Christian. [84 Ibid. , 155– 6.]
