Witchcraft has been practiced for centuries around the world, persevering as sinister forces attempted to wipe it out or warp it into something evil. In Nazi Germany, mysterious questions about witchcraft swirled among SS leaders. Could these ancient practices restore Germany to their Aryan roots? Himmler's dedication to cultivating an Aryan super-race, even creating chemically-injected super soldiers to conquer their enemies and expand the Reich, bordered on madness. Convinced the medieval witch trials were an attempt by a Jewish-Christian alliance to exterminate the Aryans, Himmler established a Special Assignment research team led by Reinhard Heydrich to build a database of medieval German witchcraft practices. Dogged determination unveils a shocking truth about Himmler's very own 15th century ancestor, as the impending war threatens to render their research irrelevant.
