Good Read; but fails to deliverBy Mark GibbsAlthough I enjoyed the read; by the end I was left somewhat disappointed by the content. The details of the Nazi occult belief system are glazed over. I understand that this is a difficult topic to get to the bottom of; and many have tried before; but the author seems more at home dealing with the external logistics of Himmler's strategy rather than explaining the ideology that lay behind. When reading of the primeval blond-haired master race I couldn't help thinking of the "Nordic" aliens who feature so regularly in UFO abduction stories and in alien conspiracy books; and how Nazi scientists appeared in Speilberg's "Taken" series working hand in hand with the little grey aliens on the operating tables. No doubt a respected journalist; such as Ms Pringle; would be disinclined to follow that line of thought; but I wouldn't put it past Himmler. He was also inhuman. But more to the point; why would Himmler; or Hitler for that matter; be so obsessed with tall; blond hair blue-eyed types when they so obviously did not resemble them? Did the thought not occur to the author? It must have.
