I'm a big WW2 history buff, I find this stuff most interesting. The Nazi's were always big with crap like this.

I also just watched a movie, where they used the Thule Society in a very interesting, and suprisingly accurite way.

Thule, the period of cosmography
Doth vaunt of Hecla, whose sulphureous fire
Doth melt the frozen clime and thaw the sky;
Trinacrian Etna’s flames ascend not higher;
These things seem wondrous, yet more wondrous I,
Whose heart with fear doth freeze, with love doth fry.

The Andalusian merchant, that returns
Laden with cochineal and china dishes,
Reports in Spain how strangely Fogo burns
Amidst an ocean full of flying fishes:
These things seem wondrous, yet more wondrous I,
Whose heart with fear doth freeze, with love doth fry.

Thomas Weelkes,1600.

And here I thought you were talking about a Swedish bike car rack manufacturer.

Rudolf Hess was a member, they also had some interesting connections with Hitler. It seems this Thule society was very much part of the Nazi party. Well until the Nazi's decided it would be bad if word got out, then they got rid of them.
