Theos-Talk Archives (January 1995 Message tl00190)

Well, sometimes when we college professors get pushed to the
limit we actually do what we always tell our students to do.  I
did a little looking in OCLC and came up with some leads on our
Occult Reich questions.

Following are (1) an entry for a four-part video series, (2)
individual entries for each of the four parts, and (3) entries
for two books of similar title.

I will check to see if local video stores stock these titles.
Since mine is a small town with a taste for blockbusters, I'm
doubtful that I'm going to find the videos locally.  Perhaps
someone in a larger place might be able to investigate and report
to us.  The video dealing with the swastika sounds as though it
might touch on theosophy (Indian and Tibetian sources).

Martin: one of the books is a translation from a French original.
I was unable to locate the original French title in OCLC.  I
don't know the relationship between the books and the videos.

Later,
William
