It is known that many Nazi leaders not only believed in magic and astrology, but also drew some of the theories from mystical teachings. At the “court” of Hitler, telepaths, clairvoyants, astrologers and astronomers always worked, giving recommendations before each decisive step of the Fuhrer. The most famous names and hypotheses:
1. Teachings of Gerbiger
A companion of Hitler, a former designer who managed to earn a large fortune on his invention, he later became seriously interested in astrophysics. He developed 2 of his own hypotheses, completely contrary to the laws of orthodox astrophysics, and other sciences.
The first was the divine origin of man. Allegedly, all people are giants, fabulous creatures that once populated our planet. Having gone through trials and cataclysms, we must take control of the Earth in our own hands (the Germanic race in particular). This judgment is easily the basis of the ice theory, according to which all processes on earth and the entire history of its development take place in a close and constant confrontation between fire and ice. And our ancestors came out of the ice. So, the Sun and all the planets of our universe are fragments of a huge body, which split into pieces. The distant planets are covered with ice, on the Earth there is a fight between fire and ice. All terrestrial processes reflect what is happening in the Universe and vice versa.
This theory perfectly explained all the legends and myths, but did not take into account any sound calculations. Like the Apocalypse of ancient beliefs, the scientist described the death of the Earth.
Gerbiger was called the ice prophet and no matter how absurd his theory was, she found thousands of followers.
A similar utopian theory popular in Nazi Germany was the hollow Earth-sphere hypothesis.

2. Hannusen
The strongest clairvoyant and telepathic, whose abilities were confirmed even by Wolf Messing. He worked for Hitler in 1933-34 (although he was a purebred Jew) and made amazing predictions to all those close to the Fuhrer, which came true. There is a legend that he was even able to predict the defeat and burning of the Reichstag.
However, basking in the rays of Hitler's glory, receiving numerous preferences from him, he lived on a grand scale, spoke very imprudently about entrusted secrets and was shot once in the forest.
3. Astrologer Karl Kraft
who foresaw the danger of the Fuhrer's life in November 1939 (a bomb exploded in Munich then, Hitler almost died), was attracted by the Reich to solve its own needs and to propagate the doctrine of Nazism. He looked for the poems of Nostradamus and interpreted them in his own way, trying in every possible way to prove that Hitler's rise to power and the undoubted victory of Hitler were predicted long ago.
4. Wilhelm Wulf
Having once studied Buddhist yoga, he was recruited as a staff astrologer of the Reich to train suicide bombers (he officially worked at the Berlin Institute for National Research, because German policy of those years prohibited the work of astrologers and other mystics). He participated in the search for Mussolini after his overthrow in Italy, drew up the horoscopes of Hitler and Stalin (predicting the non-overthrow of the country of the Soviets), was closely acquainted with Himmler.
Carried away by mysticism and horoscopes, Hitler and Goebbels found solace in them in April 1945, finding in them faint hints of a German victory in the event of an attack on the Eastern Front. Predictions, alas, which were not destined to come true, like many others.
