Following on from Zombies: A Hunter’s Guide comes The Nazi Occult in June 2013.

The Nazi Occult
In the dark dungeons beneath Nazi Germany, teams of occult experts delved into ancient and forbidden lore, searching for lost secrets of power. Ordered by Hitler to discover new weapons that could be unleashed on his enemies, the occultists experimented with dark magics, mystical artifacts, and creatures thought only to exist in nightmare. This book tells the complete history of the Nazi occult programs, from their foundations in Hitler’s early esoteric studies and the quests for the Ark of the Covenant, the Spear of Destiny, and the Holy Grail, through their experiments with lycanthropes and zero-point energy. It also includes sections on the shadow war fought in the dying days of the Reich as the Nazis sought to stave off defeat through pacts with diabolic entities, attempts to preserve the Fuhrer’s brain, and the deployment of the strange flying saucers that battled to save the final Nazi stronghold in the Antaractic.  For years, the Allied governments worked to keep this information from reaching the public, and sought to discredit those few who dared to seek the truth. Now, using a combination of photography and artwork reconstructions, the true story of the most secret battles of World War II can finally be told.

I quite enjoyed the Zombie book, can't wait to see this one

It must be mine!

No seriously; this is relevant to my interests... More occult nazi menace for my players to battle is always a good thing

I just love Ken Hite's work. I'm really looking forward to this.

Can the long-joked-about "Osprey Elite 427: Underwear of the Third Reich" be far behind?

I've enjoyed the Zombie book, but this one looks even better!

I didn't realised Osprey had been purchased by the History Channel.

The book is now available. I've just bought it and at a first glance I can say it's something that I'll just love to read, again and again.

The illustrations are just awesome. We get Nazi Ufos fighting in the skies over the Antarctic; werewolves attacking US soldiers in the ruins of Cologne, etc. It's just a little treasure trove for WWW2 fans 

And there are going to be more titles in the series - Alien Invasions and Secrets of the Templars

Let me guess, the UFOs used were Adamski saucers?

Have a copy (off Amazon for around a £5 + P&P, search Dark Osprey). Reads like one of the standard Osprey's and ties in the actual historical facts/factors than were involved in the Occult/Spiritualist trends in Germany in the period. The artwork is great (the Djinn picture is brilliant, as is the flying saucer battle).

Full of very useful stuff, especially with things like the upcoming WWWII RPG (CoC crossover especially) and Secrets of the Third Reich.
