→18 Sept. 1941

→(Washington.) President Roosevelt today signed an executive order creating The Office of The Coordinator Of Information (COI). In the President's own words, the new agency is "to collect and analyze all information and data which may bear upon national security, to correlate such information and data and make the same available to the President and to such departments and officials of the Government as the President may determine, and to carry out when requested by the President such supplementary activities as may facilitate the securing of information important for national security not now available to the Government".
Mr. Roosevelt has named Colonel William ("Wild Bill") Donovan, hero of the Great War and some time unofficial Presidenial Envoy, to head the new agency. Word of the COI's creation and Donovan's appointment has provoked a storm of protest from isolationists and existing intelligence services. There are rumors here that Colonel Donovan is to be the new Heinrich Himmler or an American Gestapo though the Coordinator of Information will serve no such role.
FBI Director Hoover could not be reached for comment about the COI, though sources within the Bureau indicate that he is furious over its creation and that the new agency can expect little cooperation from his agents.

→FDR Created New Intelligence Service

→Whether or not all of these allegations can be proven, and despite the fact that most normal Americans will find these stories and religions hard to swallow, there is a definite possibility that these occult beliefs may provide us with valuable covert weapons in the event that the United States finds itself involved in a direct conflict with Nazi Germany.

→How valid these reports may be is subject to debate, but there is no doubt that Himmler considers himself to be a spirit channaler (i.e., one through whom the dead may speak) , and claims to be the reincarnation of King Heinrich I (German monarch, ruled 919-936 A.D.). There is evidence that Hitler shares his lieutenant's convictions in this area, and that he believes himself to be the reincarnation of Landulph of Capua (Ninth Century tyrant and sorcerer?).

→Beyond this, Himmler is a known devotee to a weird pseudo religion of his own creation that combines elements of medieval ritual, pagan myth and modern occult practices. He has refurbished an ancient monastery in Wevelsburg at great expense, turning it into his own version of a knights castle. He is said to meet there with his council of Black Knights (high ranking SS officers} on a regular basis to discuss matters of spiritual significance and to hold seances at which long dead Aryan heroes are contacted. One report contends that the whole place is set up to resemble the court of the famous King Arthur, complete with a massive round table, while another says that a bizarre satanic chapel has bain constructed beneath the monastery, where human sacrifices are made.

→One of the most likely subjects for future operations of this nature is head of Hitler's security forces, Heinrich Himmler. British intelligence, reports that there is within his SS Ahnenerbe (an agency dedicated to the investigation of ancestral origins) a separate department whose job it is to conduct serious and dedicated research into mysticism, supernatural phenomena and occult theories.

→Heinrich Himmler.

→Even before the rise of the Nazis, Hess and other influential members of Hitler's inner circle, were members of such Aryan theosophical organisations as the Germanorden and Thule Society. These groups, and many others just like them, were quite common in Germany after the conclusion of the great War and continued to proliferate during the years of the Weimar Republic. They became hotbeds for nationalist unrest, historical revisionism and virulent anti-Semitism. From these groups came many future Nazis, along with much of their rhetoric and regalia (such as the swastika). Despite Hitler's official ban on these organizations after his rise to power (which drove many of their founders, such as Von Sebottendorff and Eisenstadt into exile}, sources within the Reich indicate that there is still a strong penchant for belief in these crazy pseudo sciences among high ranking Nazi officials, The strength of these beliefs may be used to our advantage, as the British have already proven in the case of Rudolph Hess.

→Contacts within the British intelligence community report that the Nazi Fuhrer and many of his closest supporters are avid devotees to mysticism and occult studies. This fascination is said to have played a key role in the recent capture of Rudolph Hess, who now resides safely in an English prison, Hess, the second in line for the Nazi succession, was apprehended this spring after parachuting into Scotland under a flag of truce. Sources within Ml-6 contend that an elaborate British intelligence operation was instrumental in convincing Hess to make his ill fated journey. We are told that his capture was accomplished through subtle modifications to "real" astrological forecasts which were then smuggled into Germany. Apparently Hess, an avid follower of astrology, became convinced that these forecasts indicated the time was then ripe for a negotiated peace with Britain. Acting on his own and with an absolute faith in this occult "science", Hess flew to Scotland where he believed chat he would become a hero for ending the war in Europe.
