Mysticism such as using psychics is also something oddly embedded with Nazis. Like, even back during their rise they were oddly into mysticism

The Nazis had teams of archaeologists running around the world looking for all sorts of religious artifacts. Hitler was a nut on the subject. He was crazy. He was obsessed with the occult.

I heard about this one archaeologist who was tangentially involved with the whole thing, but his involvement didn't change anything at all with how the events played out.
