As World War II erupts across Europe, the occult undercurrents seeded in Nazi ideology begin to manifest in darker, more structured forms. In this episode, we follow the secret arcane projects that evolved behind SS walls — from Himmler’s ritual fortress at Wewelsburg to the shadowy halls of the Ahnenerbe.
Follow along with the timeline of key names, dates and events of Fortean Phenomenon from Wold War 2 we put togther especially for this episode.
We explore how figures like Karl Maria Wiligut and Wilhelm Wulff helped shape a parallel world of runic rituals, mysticism, and astrology that quietly guided Nazi policy even as the regime publicly suppressed it.
At the same time, strange aerial phenomena begin to haunt the skies. Allied and Axis pilots alike report luminous orbs — the infamous Foo Fighters — while rumors swirl of exotic Nazi technology like Die Glocke. We delve into the mystery of SS General Hans Kammler’s disappearance, the eerie silence surrounding the Riese complex, and the fine line between esoteric science and Fortean myth.
This is not ancient myth. These are the fragments of a real and unsettling parallel history — where ideology, mysticism, and unexplainable phenomena collided in the crucible of the Second World War.
