The spear of the Roman mercenary Longinus, which pierced the side of Christ, became the Holy Lance. Whoever possesses this spear and knows the mysterious powers it holds holds the fate of the world in their hands. This book tells the story of the Spear of Destiny and the men who have possessed it, including: Constantine the Great, Charlemagne, Henry the Fowler, King Athelstan of England, Otto the Great, Emperor Barbarossa, Frederick II of Hohenstaufen, and the rulers of the House of Habsburg, as well as Adolf Hitler. Who will be the next? Another essential part of the book deals in an unusual way with Hitler's rise to power and the subsequent development of the Third Reich - from the perspective of the occult backgrounds. This combination has rightfully given the book the status of being one of the most important standard works of conspiracy literature.
