Part 2: Hitler and the Spear of Destiny
The armies of Nazi Germany crossed the border with Austria, but when Hitler arrived in Vienna just 2 days later, the very first thing he did was to go to the Hofburg museum to lay claim to what appeared to be a simple Roman spear head. This spear head was something that Hitler had apparently coveted ever since he had first nurtured ambitions to become the ruler of a new German Reich.
According to the Gospel of Saint John, when Jesus was crucified, a Roman soldier named Longinus pierced Christ’s side with his lance to ensure he was dead. This weapon, baptized the “spear of destiny” or “holy lance,” immediately became a highly coveted relic. Ever since it pierced the side of Christ more than 2,000 years ago, it has been said that the Spear of Destiny has been invested with amazing occult powers that will render the user unstoppable. When Hitler arrived in Vienna in 1938, one of his first acts was to seize the Holy Lance, which was kept in the Hofburg Museum. Hitler took the lance, which is said to make its owner invincible, to Nuremberg to present himself as the heir of the greatest European rulers. After the end of the Second World War, the lance was lost. Walter Horn, a US Army lieutenant who had fled Germany, went in search of the Holy Lance.
