[[Draco in Leather Pants|With few exceptions]], pretty much [[Acceptable Targets|everyone agrees]] that the Nazis were very, '''very''' bad, what with the socio-political repression, the institutionalized racialist policies, the wars of aggression against their neighbors, the mass imprisonment and murder of dissidents and undesirables, and [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|forever ruining the reputation of eugenics and social Darwinism as serious academic disciplines]]. So, how do you make [[Those Wacky Nazis]] even more intimidating? Why, by giving them magic power and [[Eldritch Abomination]] allies, of course!

* In [[Real Life]] the Nazi most interested in the occult was Heinrich Himmler, while Hitler personally had very little interest in the subject, only seeing the political implications of secret societies, and banning all that didn't support his reign. While he admired the Teutonic myths, his intention was not to replace Christianity with a dead religion, but to get the state absorb all the properties of a religion, much like the Soviet Union had done, at least for starters - [[Alternate History|one can only speculate]] what would have followed if he had won, or ended in a stalemate.
