Long before the Allies stormed Berlin, a different kind of war was already underway—waged not with bullets and tanks, but with relics, runes, and ancient symbols of power.

This three-part series unearths the chilling true story of the Nazis' obsession with the occult and their state-sponsored quest for the Holy Grail. At the center of it all was SS leader Heinrich Himmler, who transformed a crumbling medieval ruin—Wewelsburg Castle—into a spiritual fortress and ritual temple for a cult hiding in plain sight.

From secret SS expeditions in search of relics to fabricated sacred texts and blood-soaked ceremonies in the castle’s north tower, The Devil Within reveals how myth, pseudoscience, and fanaticism merged into something far more dangerous: belief weaponized.

And when the war was lost, Wewelsburg didn’t die. The Black Sun chamber survived.

And the thirteenth pedestal—the one reserved for the Grail—remains empty to this day.
