Abattoir of intellect

While playing Return to Castle Wolfenstein, I was whisked away momentarily into a trance to reflect on the fact that I really find this Nazi business enigmatic. It is quite possible that the Nazis, in all their hideousness, had secret projects to surmount humanity with new faces of horror. Did Hitler or his henchmen have connections with the occult? Though I am significantly ignorant of his biography, it is quite possible to have such links in that huge Reich of his. The game took away the whole of my imagination with such possibilites. In fact, these thoughts occurred to me first with Wolfenstein 3D. Its primitive graphics and haunting soundtrack encouraged me all the more to have vivid dreams (or, nightmares) dealing with this theme. Imagine a post apocalyptic world under his tyranny. He could have well been the unborn child of Satan, for his inhuman grit, determination and abject perspective on life hinted towards the supernatural.
