The Vril Myth: Occultism, Theosophy, and the Nazi-Era Quest for Hidden Tech
To the point
An enduring legend ties Victorian fiction, occult mysticism, and Nazi-era myth into tales of alien contact and hidden tech, tracing from Edward Bulwer-Lytton’s The Coming Race and Blavatsky/Steiner influence to Maria Orsic and the Thule Society, but there is no solid evidence of a real Vril Society and the Nazis’ real breakthroughs were V-2 and Me 262, with the myth spreading through Le Matin des Magiciens and later conspiracy culture.
