““Evidently, Hitler was deeply intrigued and impressed by Schertel’s book. Hitler carefully read the book, and underlined and marked certain passages and sentences that caught his attention. One underlined section read: “He who does not have the demonic seed within himself will never give birth to a magical world.” While a second stated: “Satan is the beginning.” This was an ominous and unsettling precursor to the bloodshed that enveloped the world only a few short years later (Schertel, 2009).””
