Vril Society
In a series of conspiracy theory and pseudohistorical texts claim that it was involved in the rise of Nazism and used supernatural energies to develop innovative flying machines during the Nazi era or "Reichsflugscheiben".
The Vril powers enable them to use telepathy and telekinesis[3] and allow them to influence any form of animate or inanimate matter to heal, raise the dead or destroy.
Originally a people who lived on the surface of the earth, the Vril-ya were cut off from the rest of humanity by a natural disaster and moved into an underground cave system where they found a new home.
[11] It was particularly momentous that the theosophist William Scott-Elliot described the vril in his 1896 pamphlet The Story of Atlantis in connection with airships, which it served as the driving force behind.
This characteristic of the vril, already described in The Coming Race, became a main reference for certain developments after World War II due to Scott-Elliot's explicit Atlantis association.
[14] Many occult circles responded to the unease caused by the materialism of scientific and technological modernity by attempting to formulate a doctrine of the control of earthly and cosmic forces that was on a par with the natural sciences.
[17] Bulwer-Lytton's primal force appeared above all in contexts involving the creation of a "magic technique", whose designs expressed the desire for a unification of science and religion.
As a result, lay theories flourished, claiming to be able to fill alleged gaps in the sciences, without taking into account that Bulwer-Lytton only wanted to write an entertainment novel in the style of Jules Verne.
He describes various examples of pseudoscience and esoteric currents and in this context also mentions what he sees as a particularly peculiar group:[24] In 1930, two smaller pamphlets entitled Weltdynamismus were published[26] and Vril.
[38] Nonetheless, this group later formed a central building block for justifying the legends of the secret activities of a "Vril Society" in Germany from the 1920s to the 1940s.
[41] In their book Le matin des magiciens (Departure into the third millennium), published in 1960, they represented[42] the thesis that the Nazi leadership attempted to enter into alliances with supernatural powers.
In addition, historical research came to the conclusion that the occult groups existing at the time (for example the Thule Society) did not exert any significant influence on Hitler and the NSDAP.
[43] Pauwels and Bergier's book inspired other authors to speculate about the alleged role of the "Vril Society", such as J. H. Brennan[44] or Trevor Ravenscroft.
Norbert Jürgen-Ratthofer and Ralf Ettl linked them in 1992 in their publication The Vril Project[47] mit dem älteren Mythos der „NS-Flugscheiben".
Through various intermediate steps, in which the Austrian inventor Viktor Schauberger is said to have been involved, this then allegedly led to the construction of a version ("V7"), in which members of the "Vril Society" are said to have traveled to Aldebaran in 1945.
The Tempelhof Society brought out several small publications and organized regular meetings that demonstrated its connections to the German-speaking right-wing extremist network of the time.
Excerpts from this publication and from articles in the right-wing extremist magazine CODE prove that an exchange took place between the members of the Tempelhof Society and the circle around Wilhelm Landig, which mainly revolved around the Sumerian/Babylonian origins of the Germans and the concept of the Black Sun.
In his 1997 book Unternehmen Aldebaran, Holey repeated this scenario and expanded it with more extensive references to Nazi UFOs and secret bases in the Antarctic.
[55] Variations of this legend can also be found in more recent publications by other authors, e.g. Heiner Gehring and Karl-Heinz Zunneck,[56] in the Study Buddhism,[57] in Arcanorum Causam Nostrum,[58] with Armin Risi[59] and not least Henry Stevens.
The protest against the short hair fashion of the 1920s and the wearing of long hairstyles played an important role in connection with the use of these "vibrational magical" energies.
After the dissolution of the Tempelhof Society, Ralf Ettl founded the Causa Nostra circle of friends, which continues to disseminate such ideas to this day, sometimes in a modified form.
[65] The myth of the Nazi UFOs arose independently of the aforementioned authors and was essentially inspired by the writings of Miguel Serrano,[66] Ernst Zündel[67] and Wilhelm Landig[68][69][70] characterized.
[71][72] The graphic representations of German flying disks circulating today are mostly based on drawings that were distributed in the 1980s by Ralf Ettl's Abraxas Videofilm Produktionsgesellschaft mbH and first published by D. H. Haarmann and O.
For example, references to Bahn and Gehring's interpretation of the RAG can be found in the publications of the Sonnenwacht association, which, according to critics, "uses neo-pagan esotericism as a cover for right-wing extremism".
