Using documents, newsreels and photographic materials previously unknown to the domestic reader, the author of the book, Andrei Vasilchenko, scrupulously restores the mystical doctrine of the SS - the “security detachments” of the Nazi Party. Particular attention in the book is paid to the secret teachings, the champion of which was Heinrich Himmler, as well as the “SS shrines” and rituals performed in the “Black Order”. The SS leadership planned to create its own theocratic state on German territory. The picture, made up of many historical facts, can surprise even a sophisticated reader.
