Nazi Temple Of Doom - The Real Castle Wolfenstein

Hello and welcome On the Front, where we discuss all things WWII and I bring you to these sites today. My name is Matt and on today’s episode we are going to discuss the Nazi Temple of Doom. I travel to the Wewelsburg Castle, in town of Wewelsburg Westphalia, Germany. This castle often referred to as the Nazi Temple of Doom was the inspiration behind the popular Castle Wolfenstein video game. The castle itself was thought by Heinrich Himmler the leader of the SS to have mystic powers and was to be turned into the spiritual Mecca for the Nazi occult. All theories put forward by Nazi archaeologists didn’t stand up to scrutiny and only through intimidation and suppression of academia were any of these theories able to be published. The lack of evidence didn’t stop Himmler though, if he couldn’t find the archaeology, he would fake it. How? Watch the episode and find out. Today the entire site is a war monument, the museum is located in the former SS guard house in the castle forecourt. Let me know your thoughts in those comments down below and what you think of the Nazi Temple of Doom.
