You know, as a Jewish dude you'd think I'd be offended by this epic magical battle between two of history's worst Jew-haters, apparently not done for laughs. But I really like this, judging from the excerpt; the research is impeccable and it is true that Hitler at least was very much into the occult, as were some within his inner circle.

Hitler himself wasn't much for it, actually. While it is true the Nazi party grew out of the old occultic Thule Society, the occult elements were expelled rather early on, long before the party came to power.
Heinrich Himmler, the guy in charge of the SS, however, was another story.

Oh the things you'll research because of Hellboy~~

There was a joke current in Germany, particularly among persecuted Jews, during the war.

It seems that Hitler, seeing how the war is going, has begun to be concerned that he might not win. So, being into astrology, he goes to his astrologers and asks them to predict the date of his death. He figures if it's real soon, it means he'll lose the war, but if it's a long way off, he'll win.

So his astrologers do their calculations and look at their charts and exercise all their skill, and finally announce to the Führer, "Your death will fall on a Jewish holiday."

Hitler, very upset, says "That's no help to me! WHICH Jewish holiday?"

And the astrologers reply "We don't know yet what they're going to call it."
