Chapter 1: The Final Solution (1941-1942-1948)

This chapter narrates the complicities between the neo-aristocratic Masonic establishment, Nazi Germany, and Fascist Italy; the violent reaction of Nazi leaders to the loss of Masonic support after the outbreak of WWII; and the new era inaugurated by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.




Masonic Support for Nazifascism

After 1939, especially post-1941, Nazi Germany and its satellites (including Fascist Italy) relied on only a small fraction of the powerful support previously received from the elite, conservative, and reactionary Euro-Atlantic Masonic establishment.

  • Benito Mussolini (no Masonic affiliation explicitly stated) officially outlawed Freemasonry but transformed his Fascist Grand Council into a sort of State Grand Lodge filled overwhelmingly with Masons.
  • Alberto Beneduce (1877-1944), a Mason, was appointed as the overseer of the entire Fascist economy, a key institutional leader.

In Germany:

  • Hitler outlawed ordinary (liberal and democratic) German lodges and assigned the task of dismantling them to prominent Nazi officials:
    • Alfred Rosenberg (1893-1946)
    • Reinhard Heydrich (1904-1942)
    • Martin Bormann (1900-1945)
    • Hermann Göring (1893-1946)
  • The process from February 28, 1933, to July 30, 1935, successfully eliminated these lodges.
  • However, Hjalmar Schacht (1877-1970), a Mason, was a puppet master of the German economic-financial-industrial complex, working alongside these Nazi leaders.
  • Göring himself had maintained relations with several German Masonic financiers and industrialists connected to cosmopolitan and supranational Ur-Lodges, who supported Nazi ascendancy.

These neo-aristocratic Masons did not desire a world war or conflict involving the USA against Nazi Germany. They aimed instead at spreading fascist regimes in Europe, including Italy and Germany, hoping for oligarchic and elitist governance models spreading to the West, including the US.

They supported Nazi expansion at the expense of smaller neighboring countries and parts of the USSR but hoped to avoid direct conflict with major Western powers like France and especially the UK.


The Munich Agreement (September 29-30, 1938)

This agreement, marking the beginning of the collapse of the Czechoslovak state and handing over the Sudetenland to Nazi Germany, was supported by British and French Masonic leaders:

  • Arthur Neville Chamberlain (1869-1940), conservative Mason and British Prime Minister
  • Édouard Daladier (1884-1970), progressive but indecisive Mason and French Prime Minister

The Grand Lodges of England, Scotland, and Ireland, through the dissemination of “Aims and Relationships of the Craft,” claimed, paradoxically, that they always refused to express opinions on political matters, aiming to remain neutral, effectively removing Masonic endorsement of any political opposition to the Munich Agreement.



Churchill and Roosevelt Against the Nazifascist Frankenstein

Despite this Masonic complicity, Winston Churchill (1874-1965), himself a Mason and initially pro-fascist, firmly opposed Chamberlain’s policy and Masonic neutrality, especially by May 10, 1940, when he became UK Prime Minister during Germany’s rapid military conquest of France.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt (Mason and leader of progressive Euro-Atlantic masonry) aligned with Churchill, uniting moderate and conservative Freemasonry elements against the Nazi-fascist regime they no longer supported.

This alliance marked the beginning of a counteroffensive against the “Nazifascist Frankenstein” (a political creation of prior Masonic neo-aristocratic experiments gone rogue.)

Key documents reflecting the progressive Masonic vision include:

  • The Atlantic Charter (August 14, 1941): Sets forth aims for a world governance more democratic and libertarian than post-WWI outcomes.

On the Nazi side, as Hjalmar Schacht’s unofficial Masonic protection evaporated, a horrific “final solution” took shape, documented notably by:

  • The Wannsee Protocol (January 20, 1942), which formalized the genocidal plan against Jews.



Revenge Against the Plutocratic-Judaic-Masonic Traitors

The Holocaust cannot be fully explained by utilitarian or rationalist terms; it was irrational economically and socially, as Jewish forced labor remained useful.

The Nazis, feeling betrayed by the Anglo-American neo-aristocratic Masons who initially supported their rise but withdrew support during the war, sought to punish these groups, sometimes of Jewish origin, sometimes not, but symbolically tied in Nazi propaganda as “pluto-Judaic-Masonic” enemies.

The mass incarceration and murder of Jewish peoples sent a message of vengeance against Western democracies where Jews played key roles in economy, finance, culture, and art, especially the UK and US.


The Esoteric Aspect of the Final Solution

Hitler and Nazi elite, mainly SS under Heinrich Himmler (1900-1945), believed that a massive human sacrifice would release spiritual energies benefiting the sacrificers.

This belief stemmed from ancient magical and esoteric doctrines, revised by Nazi leaders.

  • Hitler’s ideology, especially his Mein Kampf, expressed belief in Aryan racial supremacy yet paradoxically admired the Jewish race’s purity.
  • The Final Solution, as decided in Wannsee, aimed at eradicating the Jewish “race” to restore Aryan world dominance.



An Esoteriological Reading: The Visionary Universe of Himmler

Scholar Pierluigi Tombetti interprets the Holocaust’s deeper aspects through Himmler’s esoteric vision (a unique and disturbing spiritual dimension of Nazism).

  • Heinrich Himmler:
    • Founder of the SS, creator of the secret “Order Black” cult, and head of the Wewelsburg castle complex (purchased in 1934) which was transformed into a spiritual and cultural center for SS, designed to become the Nazi world’s “navel” (omphalos).
    • The castle was architecturally designed as a lance pointing north to Thule, the mythical Aryan homeland, linking Germanic traditions with occult nationalism.
    • The castle included a crypt named “Wahlalla,” the sanctum sanctorum of SS spirituality.
    • Himmler’s personal spiritual advisor was Karl Maria Wiligut, who blended neopaganism and occultism into NS rituals.

Significant symbolic numerology at Wewelsburg revolved around the number 12 (twelve Gruppenführer SS akin to apostles), also connecting to astrological and Arthurian legends (twelve knights of the Round Table), making the SS an order of “warrior monks” with a secret spiritual core.

  • Rituals and meditation involving runes, breath control, and mysticism aimed at awakening the “true Aryan self.”



Aryan Philosophy and Theosophy

Tombetti suggests Nazism’s esoteric core borrowed from Theosophy, a Masonic-related movement started by Helena Petrovna Blavatsky (1831-1891), who was, briefly and controversially, initiated in the Ur-Lodge “Thomas Paine” through Giuseppe Garibaldi but later expelled.

Founders and officers of the Theosophical Society were mostly Masons, including:

  • Henry Steel Olcott (Union colonel, Mason, journalist, lawyer) - President
  • Seth Pancoast (Doctor, Mason) - Vice-President
  • John Storer Cobb (Lawyer, publisher, Mason) – CEO
  • Henry J. Newton (Photographer association president, Mason) – Treasurer
  • Others: William Quan Judge (lawyer), E.H. Britten (editor), H.D. Monachesi (journalist), J.H. Wiggins and R.B. Westbrook (evangelical pastors)

The Society merged ancient esoteric traditions (gnosticism, hermeticism, Kabbalah, alchemy) with a new spiritual science rooted in Masonic symbolic knowledge.

Blavatsky’s influential works, Isis Unveiled (1877) and The Secret Doctrine (1888), referenced sacred universal symbols including the swastika (before its Nazi appropriation), rooted in Eastern and Western esotericism.

Theosophy spread widely in Europe, the US, India, and Germany, influencing the mystical and racial ideologies later adopted by Nazis.

Hitler’s esoteric circle included figures connected to the Germanenorden and the Thule Society, secretive groups devoted to Aryan supremacist occultism.

Key persons like Rudolf Hess and Karl Haushofer maintained esoteric interests close to Hitler, passing down meditation and mystical practices.



Masonic Progressives Against Nazifascist Ideology

The ultimate victors after the horrendous WWII struggle were:

  • The Masonic progressives, led by Franklin Delano Roosevelt, a progressive Mason.
  • The moderate-conservative Masonic faction, rallying behind Winston Churchill, who renounced earlier pro-fascist sympathies and stood firmly against Nazifascism.

Also noteworthy was the participation, albeit indirectly and complexly, of Iosif Stalin, who had a Masonic initiation in his youth.

This alliance defeated the Nazifascist oligarchies, ensuring postwar governance oriented toward democracy, liberty, and human rights.

The United Nations (UN) was formed (October 24, 1945) as a cornerstone of progressive Masonic international governance.

  • Eleanor Roosevelt, a Free Mason, played a pivotal role in drafting and promoting the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, signed in Paris on December 10, 1948.
  • The Declaration drew inspiration from late 18th-century revolutionary ideals and early 20th-century democratic principles, as well as Roosevelt’s famous 1941 congressional speech outlining the “Four Freedoms”: freedom of speech, religion, from want, and from fear.



The Mason Mohandas Gandhi

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (1869-1948), “the Mahatma,” was a prominent progressive Mason affiliated with:

  • The Ur-Lodge “Thomas Paine” (initiated 1894)
  • Founder of Ur-Lodge “Arjuna-Phoenix” (1904), active in India, Africa, and the West.

Gandhi’s nonviolent resistance and fight for Indian independence and human rights formed a cornerstone of progressive Masonic activism.

He influenced 20th-century civil rights leaders, such as Mason Martin Luther King Jr.

After leading a final major nonviolent political struggle ensuring peace between Muslim and Hindu factions and securing rights and compensation in the partition of India, Gandhi was assassinated in 1948 by Hindu fundamentalist Nathuram Godse.

Gandhi’s life and death symbolized the progressive Masonic vision of a “final solution” based on coexistence, peace, and equality across ethnic, racial, religious, and social divides, in stark contrast to the Nazi barbarity.
