- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I've never read Dan Brown but I'm guessing that "Hitler's Holy Relics" is the type of book he'll read before knocking off another best selling tome. "Hitler's Holy Relics" covers the end of World War II when a team of allied officials led by scholar Walter Horn began searching for relics stolen by the Nazis, they realise that some relics were hidden so the upcoming Fourth Reich could use them. Some good detective work later, (Spoiler) we can rest assured that any Fourth Reich would need to come to fruition without Charlemagne's Imperial Regalia.A well-written piece on one of the lesser known moments of World War II.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5If you crossed the Da Vinci Code with real life Nazi conspiracies, you'd get a story like this.A look at the history of the traditions that Hitler and his men claimed to succeed, told through the personal story and investigations of one U.S.-German army lieutenant who was an expert in German art history.
