I hope this is in the right place. I was not to sure where this topic might fit. In my research on this topic I have developed a number of questions about the occult crackdown or occult purges in nazi Germany and occupied territories 1934-1941 apx. Most authors that I have read have been very general about this topic, thus the questions.
