1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:15,680 Speaker 1: Ridiculous History is a production of I Heart Radio. Ye 2 00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:31,000 Speaker 1: welcome to the show, Ridiculous Historians. Thank you so much 3 00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:36,400 Speaker 1: for tuning in full disclosure. As an eighties baby, one 4 00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:41,000 Speaker 1: of my favorite film franchises ever growing up was Indiana Jones. 5 00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:44,360 Speaker 1: Who am I? I'm beat? Which one last Crusade? Temple 6 00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:46,680 Speaker 1: of Doom? You gotta go? Last Crusade for me? Temple 7 00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:50,240 Speaker 1: of the Dog. Uh, you know, I have a copy 8 00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:52,760 Speaker 1: of Crystal Skull. Maybe the magic was just gone because 9 00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:55,600 Speaker 1: I had aged out, I think so. Maybe maybe it 10 00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:58,200 Speaker 1: was just the inexplicable ninja's that pop up in the 11 00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:01,680 Speaker 1: cemetery and never come back. People age out of Indiana Jones. 12 00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:05,080 Speaker 1: That's so sad. I did age out at Last Crusade. 13 00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:07,520 Speaker 1: I still love that with Yeah it's true. I read 14 00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:10,640 Speaker 1: something really interesting the two guys who are responsible for 15 00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:12,920 Speaker 1: Oh gosh, no, I don't remember what it was. Oh no, 16 00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:15,119 Speaker 1: it was that movie A Quiet Place From a Quiet 17 00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:18,440 Speaker 1: Place with the guy from the office. They apparently after 18 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:20,840 Speaker 1: A Quiet Place did so well, got pulled into a 19 00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:23,520 Speaker 1: meeting with Lucasfilm, and of course the subject was we 20 00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:26,120 Speaker 1: need mind Indiana Jones and Star Wars movies. Guys you 21 00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:27,640 Speaker 1: guys made a big pic, Chuck, and you write a 22 00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:29,560 Speaker 1: bunch of these movies for us, and they were like, 23 00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:32,600 Speaker 1: you know, maybe you guys should do something new. I 24 00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:35,880 Speaker 1: think that's maybe why Crystal Skull didn't work. But you're right, Ben, 25 00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:38,920 Speaker 1: those original Indiana Jones movies they got something, don't they. 26 00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:42,280 Speaker 1: They have that swashbuckling sense of adventure, the idea of 27 00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:45,679 Speaker 1: throwing yourself into the unknown, you know, come what may, 28 00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:48,960 Speaker 1: and Indiana Jones really represented that right. But he uh, 29 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,960 Speaker 1: he wasn't Holly a fictional character, and neither are you? 30 00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:58,240 Speaker 1: Who are you again? And there's our super producer, Casey 31 00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:06,800 Speaker 1: Pegram also rated extremely nonfictional by nine out of ten reviews. 32 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:09,560 Speaker 1: I was gonna say, in terms of rating the second 33 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:13,359 Speaker 1: installment of the Indiana Jones trilogy responsible for the creation 34 00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:16,720 Speaker 1: of the PG thirteen rating, because you know, it's a 35 00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:19,520 Speaker 1: little too hot for PG and not quite graphic enough 36 00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:21,760 Speaker 1: for an R. And Spielberg had enough clout in those 37 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,360 Speaker 1: days and probably still to this day that the n 38 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,000 Speaker 1: p A was like, you know, we'll we'll work something out. 39 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:30,880 Speaker 1: It was Temple of Doom, right, Yeah, it's intensely problematic. 40 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:35,440 Speaker 1: By the way, no one uses quote unquote voodoo dolls 41 00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:39,359 Speaker 1: in those rituals. The Thuggy cult is a real thing 42 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 1: worthy of an episode of its own. But yeah, it's weird. 43 00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 1: They were worried about the the violence, I believe, right, yeah, 44 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:51,560 Speaker 1: just you know, because he pulls the guy's heart out. It's, uh, 45 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,040 Speaker 1: it's a weird one. It's it's kind of a I 46 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 1: don't know, it sticks out in the trilogy. The first 47 00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 1: and the third are much more kind of in the 48 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:01,040 Speaker 1: same spirit, and that one's just like a weird, bizarre, 49 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:04,119 Speaker 1: like alternate universe Indiana Jones. I will say this though, 50 00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 1: the opening of Temple of Doom is awesome, the musical 51 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:11,360 Speaker 1: sequence where like there's like darts being thrown, and like 52 00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:14,960 Speaker 1: it's just it's very very good. Uh theater, like you know, 53 00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:18,760 Speaker 1: cinematic theater for sure. And today's episode, wait a minute, 54 00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:20,760 Speaker 1: we don't have a what about Casey on the case 55 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:27,680 Speaker 1: today's story does have something to do with Indiana Jones. 56 00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:30,000 Speaker 1: You know how often you'll see something like a made 57 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,840 Speaker 1: for TV film where it says inspired by true events, 58 00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:37,160 Speaker 1: heavy emphasis on inspired. This is kind of like it 59 00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:41,160 Speaker 1: there is there is a a real life or one 60 00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:45,040 Speaker 1: of several real life inspirations for the character we know 61 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 1: as Indiana. That's not his real name. Of course, they 62 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 1: named the dogana is that was that? A? Was that 63 00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:58,160 Speaker 1: a Sean Connery? No? No, my Sean Connery is different. 64 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,400 Speaker 1: What was that? Who was that's the that's his buddy 65 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:04,400 Speaker 1: in at the very end of Last Crusade where he 66 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,520 Speaker 1: learns they named the He's the guy who was in Sliders, 67 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:10,000 Speaker 1: he played the dwarf and Lord of the Rings. Uh, 68 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 1: this is gonna bug me h for all the fantasy 69 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:19,160 Speaker 1: fans out there. I literally just confused Game of Thrones 70 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:21,279 Speaker 1: for Lord of the Rings. So you guys can run 71 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:24,080 Speaker 1: me up the flagpole for this one. It's John Reese 72 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 1: Davies also famously played the lead of the dwarves in 73 00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:34,200 Speaker 1: Lord of the Rings. So that aside, that aside, who 74 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 1: is this real person we're talking about? His name is 75 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:43,280 Speaker 1: Otto Wilhelm Ron R A h N. And just to 76 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:47,080 Speaker 1: set the stage, maybe we should emphasize the title if 77 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:50,279 Speaker 1: you haven't, if you haven't checked out the title before 78 00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:52,800 Speaker 1: listening to the podcast, because it's one hell of a headline. 79 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:56,800 Speaker 1: Auto Ron the gay Nazi occultists who hated Nazis and 80 00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:01,640 Speaker 1: inspired Indiana Jones Yeah, that sums it up. Great headline. 81 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:05,960 Speaker 1: Aut iran Um was a German, that's accurate. He was 82 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:09,080 Speaker 1: an occultist, which is also accurate, and also from the headline. 83 00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 1: And he was absolutely myopically obsessed with uncovering that relic 84 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:18,840 Speaker 1: of relics, that holiest of holies, the Holy Grail, which 85 00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:22,560 Speaker 1: was also the subject of the Indiana Jones movie Um 86 00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:25,159 Speaker 1: the Last Crusade, which I'm gonna say still is my 87 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,120 Speaker 1: is my favorite of the four. But to each their 88 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:33,679 Speaker 1: own right. Ron was obsessed with European folklore and myths 89 00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:36,000 Speaker 1: and legends ever since he was a wee tyke he 90 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:39,480 Speaker 1: was born in nineteen o four. He was particularly taken 91 00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:44,760 Speaker 1: with German stories from the medieval period, stories about the Grail, 92 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:48,080 Speaker 1: like Pars of All or the Song of the Niebelottles. 93 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:54,359 Speaker 1: And he also became fascinated with a sect or a 94 00:05:54,440 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 1: branch of Christianity, the Cathers Catharism. This has been eliminated, 95 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:05,800 Speaker 1: about abolished, wiped out by the Catholic Church in the century. 96 00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:09,360 Speaker 1: But you see, Randon is something of what we might 97 00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:14,080 Speaker 1: call a conspiracy theorist in his day because he believes 98 00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:19,480 Speaker 1: that somewhere in southern France. The Cather's were the last 99 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:24,360 Speaker 1: caretakers of the actual facts Holy Grail, the real thing, 100 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:30,039 Speaker 1: and that they, despite being you know, persecuted by the 101 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:33,559 Speaker 1: Catholic Church, managed to keep this secret. And that meant 102 00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:37,640 Speaker 1: that the real Holy Grail was hidden somewhere in France. 103 00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:41,640 Speaker 1: And he started thinking, you know, if I, if I 104 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:45,440 Speaker 1: read these poems, I will know the clues. It's very 105 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 1: Dan Brown, right, because he's he's reading into things that 106 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:54,400 Speaker 1: he is convinced or purposely left clues but may just 107 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,040 Speaker 1: be his interpretation it's true. And to back check, ever 108 00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:00,240 Speaker 1: so slightly, just to flex my opera roots a little bit, 109 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:04,239 Speaker 1: there is an opera cycle by Wagner called the Ring Cycle, 110 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:07,480 Speaker 1: which is based on the Ring of the nibelungen Um, 111 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:10,800 Speaker 1: which is a story that our main character today was 112 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:15,240 Speaker 1: very much obsessed with, which is about mystical creatures, mythical 113 00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:19,040 Speaker 1: creatures and a ring forged in a broken sword, and 114 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:22,840 Speaker 1: very much was a huge inspiration for the Lord of 115 00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:25,360 Speaker 1: the Rings by J. R. R. Tolkien. And he didn't 116 00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 1: he didn't just think this was generally France. He believed 117 00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:37,160 Speaker 1: that the Mount Sigur castle in southern France was probably 118 00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:41,920 Speaker 1: the last known location of the Grail because in the 119 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:47,280 Speaker 1: real world it was Catherine's stronghold and they made their 120 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:52,120 Speaker 1: last stand against the Catholics there, well, less a last stand, 121 00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:56,360 Speaker 1: more a mass murder, because they were murdered there in 122 00:07:56,480 --> 00:08:01,000 Speaker 1: twelve forty four, but the belief was before the massacre, 123 00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:06,720 Speaker 1: three catherine Knights ditched the fight. They skipped town and 124 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:11,280 Speaker 1: they took the cup the Holy Grail with them, and 125 00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:15,120 Speaker 1: so Ron decided that he would be the person to 126 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:18,600 Speaker 1: find it. He decided to go h and arrived in 127 00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:22,920 Speaker 1: Monsigeur in nineteen thirty one in the summer, and he, 128 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,760 Speaker 1: you know, tries he might. He didn't actually find the Grail, 129 00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:28,800 Speaker 1: but he didn't have some pretty fun adventures in the 130 00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:33,680 Speaker 1: cathedral caves of lung Duck, which caused him to actually 131 00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:37,840 Speaker 1: write a book about it, called Crusade against the Grail, 132 00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:40,959 Speaker 1: which has already got a pretty pretty awesome cinematic kind 133 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:43,480 Speaker 1: of title. And that was in nineteen thirty three that 134 00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:46,760 Speaker 1: came out, which was also, as it turns out, the 135 00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:50,000 Speaker 1: year that the Nazi Party swept the land and reigned 136 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:54,920 Speaker 1: Supreme Um. And here's the thing. His book was pretty 137 00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:58,680 Speaker 1: well received by the likes of Henrik Himmler, who as 138 00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:03,920 Speaker 1: we know, had the secret military police, the ss OF 139 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:09,040 Speaker 1: of Adolf Hitler, and he became a patron, you know, 140 00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:15,080 Speaker 1: of of Ron and offered to help him finance another work. Yeah, 141 00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:18,760 Speaker 1: he said, look, I run the s s and I 142 00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:23,600 Speaker 1: have access to the policies, but also the purse strings. 143 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:27,760 Speaker 1: So if you become my boy, you're loyal to me otto, 144 00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:32,920 Speaker 1: then I will executive produce your search for the Grail 145 00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:36,080 Speaker 1: more or less. And we have to look at the 146 00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:40,840 Speaker 1: context of a lot of Nazi officials at this time. 147 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:47,360 Speaker 1: There was this obsession with creating a new past, a 148 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:52,000 Speaker 1: new collective story or narrative for the people of Germany, 149 00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,480 Speaker 1: and most of it, well by most of it, I 150 00:09:54,480 --> 00:10:00,520 Speaker 1: mean all of it was ultimately aiming to justify their beliefs. 151 00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:04,920 Speaker 1: Uh they're they're racist beliefs about German superiority. So they 152 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:08,600 Speaker 1: like the idea that Ron's theories seemed to support their 153 00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:13,080 Speaker 1: pre existing goal, this idea that Nordic populations had a 154 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:17,520 Speaker 1: great and ancient past, and they said, you know, these 155 00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:23,800 Speaker 1: traditions and the truth of the past was suppressed by 156 00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:30,400 Speaker 1: Roman Catholic forces, and so they wanted to revive Germanic 157 00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:36,000 Speaker 1: pagan beliefs, but like a lot of movements, especially movements 158 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:39,200 Speaker 1: with an ulterior motive, it shifted. A guy named Guido 159 00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:44,120 Speaker 1: von List tilted this pursuit and made it something that 160 00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:49,839 Speaker 1: focused more on anti Semitism racist ideas, and Himmler was 161 00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:53,520 Speaker 1: a big von List fan, so he didn't think Ron 162 00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:58,360 Speaker 1: was just making up wild cockamami. Three drinks deep at 163 00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:02,640 Speaker 1: the bar stories he said, you know, Otto, I'm something 164 00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:06,120 Speaker 1: of a Grail researcher myself. I'm also looking for it. 165 00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:09,920 Speaker 1: I've actually sponsored some expeditions into Pyrenees. So you and 166 00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:14,440 Speaker 1: I we're on the same page. And that's why one 167 00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:18,200 Speaker 1: day in three Ron gets a telegram that offers him 168 00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:23,319 Speaker 1: one thousand rice marks per month if he just keeps 169 00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:26,120 Speaker 1: looking for the Grail, and all he has to do 170 00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:34,640 Speaker 1: is show up to an address in Berlin. This is 171 00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:37,440 Speaker 1: a big deal for Ron. A thousand riks marks was 172 00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:40,400 Speaker 1: no small sum because he had always had a hard 173 00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:45,120 Speaker 1: time staying fully employed, and he also was openly gay, 174 00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:48,520 Speaker 1: which was a very dangerous way to be, especially given 175 00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:52,360 Speaker 1: the tide changing under the Nazis. So it's a surprise 176 00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:55,959 Speaker 1: to him to learn that the center of the telegram 177 00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:59,800 Speaker 1: was Himmler. Himself, and the fact that Himler was so 178 00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:03,160 Speaker 1: taken by Ron's passion for finding the Grail and for 179 00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:06,320 Speaker 1: his writing UH that he was willing to overlook the 180 00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:09,000 Speaker 1: fact that he was openly gay. This was a big deal. 181 00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:13,160 Speaker 1: So Ron was eventually kind of forced into joining the 182 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:16,199 Speaker 1: Nazi Party and becoming a member of the s S 183 00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:19,760 Speaker 1: and nineteen thirty five. He became a non commissioned officer 184 00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:23,880 Speaker 1: UH in nineteen thirty six, and basically his main job 185 00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:27,480 Speaker 1: was to continue writing and to continue searching for the 186 00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:30,400 Speaker 1: Holy Grail. Yeah, that's pretty much it. That was the deal, right. 187 00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:32,400 Speaker 1: He had a he had a tough time, and he 188 00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:35,360 Speaker 1: was he was embarrassed because people in his friends group, 189 00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:37,800 Speaker 1: his non work friends, his real friends would see him 190 00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:40,920 Speaker 1: and he would be, you know, he would be a 191 00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 1: little humiliated and dejected. And there's a quotation where he 192 00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:47,880 Speaker 1: says someone asked them about it. They're like, dear God, 193 00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:50,360 Speaker 1: what are you doing? You work for those dudes now? 194 00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:52,880 Speaker 1: And he says, a man has to eat. What was 195 00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:55,640 Speaker 1: I supposed to do? Turn Himmler down? Which is a 196 00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 1: pretty interesting question, because again, Himmler did have the power 197 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:03,240 Speaker 1: or to snap his fingers and have people disappeared. But 198 00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:06,760 Speaker 1: Ron smart guy, right, he already knows this situation is 199 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:11,600 Speaker 1: unsustainable over the long term. And he knows. Look, searching 200 00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:15,200 Speaker 1: for something is all well and good, but that's not 201 00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:19,720 Speaker 1: the same thing as finding something, as anybody familiar with 202 00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:24,480 Speaker 1: the unending Oak Island money Pit TV series can can attest. 203 00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:28,160 Speaker 1: So he went through all throughout Germany, he went to France, 204 00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:31,000 Speaker 1: went to Italy. I think he even went to Iceland 205 00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:35,319 Speaker 1: at some point and came up with Bubkis. But he said, 206 00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:38,640 Speaker 1: I have to look like I'm producing something. If you 207 00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:44,560 Speaker 1: can't produce the actual Holy Grail, the cup that giveth 208 00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:47,120 Speaker 1: everlasting life, which by the way, it was was either 209 00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:50,920 Speaker 1: Jesus's cup at the Last Supper or also the blood 210 00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:55,880 Speaker 1: collecting cup at the crucifixion right right, or his illegitimate 211 00:13:55,960 --> 00:14:00,520 Speaker 1: children the bloodline Christ would be considered the rail too, 212 00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:04,800 Speaker 1: But that's you know, that's open to interpretation. Is a 213 00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:07,440 Speaker 1: generous way to phrase that. So back to this thing, 214 00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:09,520 Speaker 1: he says, I gotta get results. He says, if I 215 00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:15,200 Speaker 1: cannot produce the actual Grail, I sure as heck can 216 00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:19,120 Speaker 1: write another book. And so he writes this terrible, terrible 217 00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:23,200 Speaker 1: book called Lucifer's Court, a heretic journey in search of 218 00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:27,000 Speaker 1: the Light Bring us. It's published in thirty seven. It's 219 00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:30,640 Speaker 1: just it's all over. The place is rambling. It doesn't 220 00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:33,560 Speaker 1: make a lot of sense. There's a quote that particularly 221 00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:36,760 Speaker 1: stood out to me, cited by John Preston writing for 222 00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:39,720 Speaker 1: the Telegraph. Just tell me if you want to read 223 00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:43,920 Speaker 1: a book's worth of this. Look, I will tell you 224 00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,960 Speaker 1: a secret. The time has come for the groom to 225 00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:52,320 Speaker 1: crown his bride. Guess whether crown lies toward midnight? Because 226 00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:54,760 Speaker 1: the light is clear in the darkness. What is this 227 00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:56,800 Speaker 1: about that? Like? What? What? What's what's this? What's the 228 00:14:56,840 --> 00:15:00,960 Speaker 1: point of this book? It's some people will say. Historians 229 00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:03,600 Speaker 1: differ here. Some people will say it was a cash grab. 230 00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:05,760 Speaker 1: Some people will say it was the time grab. Some 231 00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:10,520 Speaker 1: people say it was his attempt to uh repackage his 232 00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:15,240 Speaker 1: beliefs about the Holy Grail conspiracy. Other people think it 233 00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:21,320 Speaker 1: was maybe a a disguised critique of Nazism. But the 234 00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:23,920 Speaker 1: Crusade against the Grail was a historical work, right, that 235 00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:26,160 Speaker 1: that was was That was their fiction involved in that 236 00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:29,240 Speaker 1: as well. Let's call it speculative. You know what I meant? 237 00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:30,960 Speaker 1: You sort of like Holy Blood, Holy Grail, and some 238 00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:32,960 Speaker 1: of the more than dan Browns of the world, things 239 00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:36,400 Speaker 1: like that. And we have to wonder whether Otto Ron 240 00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:40,840 Speaker 1: himself I knew this was not his best work. Well, 241 00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:42,480 Speaker 1: I'll tell you who did think it was his best 242 00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:46,120 Speaker 1: work was Himmler. He adored it, and he ordered five 243 00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:50,240 Speaker 1: thousand copies to be postially bound in leather and given 244 00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:53,760 Speaker 1: out to all of the top dogs in Germany. Hitler 245 00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:57,160 Speaker 1: got himself one um and I guess Ron felt like 246 00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:59,920 Speaker 1: he kind of dodged a bullet, right, but he noticed 247 00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:02,960 Speaker 1: saleboy Diddy, the book that was published was not the 248 00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,560 Speaker 1: book he had written. Now, and that goes back again 249 00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:09,520 Speaker 1: to why uh, you know, Himmler liked his first book 250 00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:13,600 Speaker 1: because it was all kind of built around some of 251 00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:17,040 Speaker 1: these mythologies that Nazis have been able to use as 252 00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:20,280 Speaker 1: almost symbols for the rise of a the Arian race 253 00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:23,760 Speaker 1: and this the uberman and all that stuff, and this 254 00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:26,440 Speaker 1: was no different. Only that stuff wasn't really in there, 255 00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:30,920 Speaker 1: so they actually inserted it in there anti Semitic little messages, 256 00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:35,360 Speaker 1: kind of little passages, right, yep, exactly. And while Ron 257 00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:39,560 Speaker 1: had dodged one bullet, he could not dodge the bullet 258 00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:42,680 Speaker 1: looming on the horizon, rushing toward him, and that was 259 00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:45,880 Speaker 1: the fact that he still had not, for some reason, 260 00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:51,680 Speaker 1: found the Holy Grail. And shortly after this book, the 261 00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:55,600 Speaker 1: second book has published, Lucifer's Court, he gets intoxicated and 262 00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:59,680 Speaker 1: he is caught having having sex, having intimate relations with 263 00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:04,600 Speaker 1: a another man, and because he again is Himmler's boy, 264 00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:07,680 Speaker 1: the punishment that he would have had is different from 265 00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:12,160 Speaker 1: the punishment he gets. Instead of being incarcerated himself, sent 266 00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:15,040 Speaker 1: to prison or sent to a camp, he has ordered 267 00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:19,440 Speaker 1: to do guard duty for three months at doc Out, 268 00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:22,640 Speaker 1: the worst place in the world, I mean, a hell 269 00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:25,320 Speaker 1: on earth. And you gotta imagine too. I mean he's 270 00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:27,680 Speaker 1: an SS and name only up to this point, I 271 00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:31,920 Speaker 1: would think he's a non commissioned officer. He's wearing this uniform, 272 00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:34,080 Speaker 1: but he's really just kind of dicking around Europe looking 273 00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:38,560 Speaker 1: for the Grail and writing bad books. Yeah, this is 274 00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:42,200 Speaker 1: this is this strange thing because it's an understandable tendency 275 00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:46,439 Speaker 1: for a lot of people. Until he gets to dock Out, 276 00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:50,840 Speaker 1: he's able to we have such a tremendous talent for rationalization. 277 00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:54,800 Speaker 1: Something is happening, sure, and it's terrible yes, but it's 278 00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:57,879 Speaker 1: happening to someone else a and it's happening somewhere I 279 00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:00,840 Speaker 1: can't see it be. And now oh he has to 280 00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:06,280 Speaker 1: aid and a bet directly the atrocities occurring at these 281 00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:10,760 Speaker 1: camps and what he saw there changed him. He said 282 00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:12,960 Speaker 1: it was too much. He said it was impossible for 283 00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:15,800 Speaker 1: a tolerant liberal man like me to live in a 284 00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:19,240 Speaker 1: nation that my native country has become. And so he 285 00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:23,119 Speaker 1: writes to the s S and attempts to resign. That's laughable. 286 00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:25,760 Speaker 1: But let's also not forget that a lot of Germans 287 00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:29,280 Speaker 1: were in this boat, right, who were maybe not willfully 288 00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:31,879 Speaker 1: putting on blinders what was going on, but at least 289 00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:35,040 Speaker 1: they didn't know the extent. I mean, they didn't broadcast 290 00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:38,040 Speaker 1: on national television what was going on inside these camps. 291 00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:39,679 Speaker 1: You kind of had to be there. You had to 292 00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:42,199 Speaker 1: know what was going on, and if you didn't, you 293 00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:45,960 Speaker 1: could maybe trick yourself into thinking everything wasn't quite as 294 00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:47,239 Speaker 1: bad as it was. Man, what do you think, Ben, 295 00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:48,679 Speaker 1: what do you would have been like to be a 296 00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:52,880 Speaker 1: German citizen living in that time? There's a line, I mean, 297 00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:58,600 Speaker 1: they're clearly clearly the information asymmetry is different there because 298 00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:02,000 Speaker 1: you know, people could learn about things, but they couldn't 299 00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:05,359 Speaker 1: google things for themselves, and a lot of maps were 300 00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:09,439 Speaker 1: edited and so on. But after a certain threshold it 301 00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:15,920 Speaker 1: becomes apparent that the official narrative and the actual events 302 00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:18,360 Speaker 1: on the ground are different. So I think there were 303 00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:21,040 Speaker 1: a lot of people it's just speculation here. I think 304 00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:22,800 Speaker 1: there were a lot of people who were lying to 305 00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:27,680 Speaker 1: themselves willfully. But this and Ron Ron was definitely doing 306 00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:30,920 Speaker 1: that because he was he was gay, and he knew 307 00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:34,520 Speaker 1: that gay people would be hunted down. So he was 308 00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:37,679 Speaker 1: in a situation where he already knew was unsustainable, already 309 00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:42,200 Speaker 1: knew it was going to come crashing down. And when 310 00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:46,439 Speaker 1: he wrote that letter in February nine, he said, I 311 00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:49,439 Speaker 1: must ask you to accept my immediate discharge from the 312 00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:52,359 Speaker 1: s S. The reasons are of so grave a nature 313 00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:56,840 Speaker 1: that I cannot explain them in writing. And then members 314 00:19:56,920 --> 00:20:00,119 Speaker 1: of the Nazi Party, instead of accepting his resignation or 315 00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:03,159 Speaker 1: something like that, they went hunting for him. Yea, you know, 316 00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:05,760 Speaker 1: there's it's like the mob, man, you can't quit the mob. 317 00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:09,560 Speaker 1: You don't quit the SS you know, quit don't You're in. 318 00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:11,080 Speaker 1: You're in for life. And it's I mean that it 319 00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:12,800 Speaker 1: was forced in in the first place, that he really 320 00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:16,520 Speaker 1: think this guy seemed a little bit um what's the word, 321 00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:19,280 Speaker 1: a little bit naive about all of this. But again 322 00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:21,240 Speaker 1: he was in a rock and hard place because Himmler 323 00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:24,280 Speaker 1: found him. He didn't find Himmler, right, And it's like, 324 00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:27,400 Speaker 1: can you that's what's the nature he consent there? Could 325 00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:29,879 Speaker 1: he have said no, you know what I mean? Because 326 00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:33,800 Speaker 1: every every thought from Himmler to someone lower than him 327 00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:36,679 Speaker 1: in the hierarchy is a mandate practice. Well, everything that 328 00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:38,679 Speaker 1: we've been reading about this makes it seem like he 329 00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:43,240 Speaker 1: was a very open, openly gay So that was dirt 330 00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:45,159 Speaker 1: on him from the start, right Like if if he 331 00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:48,399 Speaker 1: had turned down Himmler, Himmler could have said, well, okay, 332 00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:51,240 Speaker 1: then we're putting you in prison for being gay, right exactly? 333 00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:59,600 Speaker 1: Just so, so Ron says, I've got a high tailor. 334 00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:03,560 Speaker 1: He gets word that Nazi officials are looking for him, 335 00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:08,440 Speaker 1: and then he disappears until March thirteenth, nineteen thirty nine, 336 00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:12,160 Speaker 1: when his body is discovered in the middle of nowhere 337 00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:15,240 Speaker 1: on the side of a mountain in Austria. He his 338 00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:20,640 Speaker 1: body was frozen. People thought, well, people will argue that 339 00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:24,720 Speaker 1: he swallowed poison, but there was no official cause of death. 340 00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:28,680 Speaker 1: He was thirty four years old. It's really sad, very young. Um. Yeah, 341 00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:31,040 Speaker 1: that's crazy to me. I mean to me, the idea 342 00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:35,560 Speaker 1: that he maybe was trying to escape and then froze 343 00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:37,560 Speaker 1: to death makes more sense then. I mean, if he 344 00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:39,840 Speaker 1: if he was going to kill himself and he had poison, 345 00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:43,640 Speaker 1: why would need to do that somewhere warmer instead of Yeah, 346 00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:45,600 Speaker 1: it seems to me like he got lost and was 347 00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:47,040 Speaker 1: trying to make a run for it and then just 348 00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:50,040 Speaker 1: you know, froze to death in the mountains of Austria. Yeah, 349 00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:52,560 Speaker 1: and those are the questions that remain and as tends 350 00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:54,640 Speaker 1: to happen, as we we we know very well been 351 00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:58,840 Speaker 1: when there are kind of questionable circumstances around someone's demise. 352 00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:02,720 Speaker 1: We had a handful of conspiracy theories popping up, much 353 00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:06,000 Speaker 1: like we do with our with the Jeffrey Epstein today, 354 00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:09,199 Speaker 1: where the question is was that really him? Was that 355 00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:12,480 Speaker 1: really his body? It was also way easier to fake 356 00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:16,160 Speaker 1: one's death at this time. So yes, like any notable figure, 357 00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:20,760 Speaker 1: there will be tons of speculation whenever someone meets an 358 00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:25,240 Speaker 1: untimely and people said, as you point out, all that 359 00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:30,159 Speaker 1: he had faked his death and was continuing in in 360 00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:34,159 Speaker 1: the underground right to search for the grail and maybe 361 00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:37,840 Speaker 1: eventually found it. But the thing is there are people 362 00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:41,560 Speaker 1: who still look for the grail today in nineteen is 363 00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:45,400 Speaker 1: we record this and this search or this question has 364 00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:50,199 Speaker 1: continued throughout history. Although you may not have heard of 365 00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:55,000 Speaker 1: Auto Iron before this episode, you have doubtlessly heard of 366 00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:57,960 Speaker 1: the works of fiction that are partially inspired by him. 367 00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:01,840 Speaker 1: Indiana Jones. Of course it's yours, Indie. Yours and mine 368 00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:07,200 Speaker 1: y'are named after the dog. That's sorry, wrong, wrong character. No, 369 00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:10,040 Speaker 1: that's true. Right, wasn't Indiana the name of George Lucas 370 00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:12,560 Speaker 1: is the Pyrenees or what was some kind of big 371 00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:15,800 Speaker 1: dog right right? The um that's the yeah, the lion 372 00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:19,400 Speaker 1: I pulled it earlier where it's like he finds out that, uh, 373 00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:23,280 Speaker 1: the Indiana Jones real name is Junior. Yeah, that's right, 374 00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:25,320 Speaker 1: that's right. But no, it's true. It was the same 375 00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:28,919 Speaker 1: dog that I believe the look of Chewbacca was was 376 00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:33,080 Speaker 1: based on. And this would have been a Alaskan mall 377 00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:38,680 Speaker 1: mala mute, Malla mutt mala mute. Yeah. So the thing is, 378 00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:42,640 Speaker 1: while people will say, yeah, his actions did partially inspire 379 00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:45,400 Speaker 1: Indiana Jones for those of us who remember the Last 380 00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:50,879 Speaker 1: Crusade again, uh, in my opinion, the best of the 381 00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:54,680 Speaker 1: bunch Otto Ron was much more like that character I 382 00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:58,919 Speaker 1: just quoted Dr Elsa Schneider. Remember her, She was kind 383 00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:02,679 Speaker 1: of the love interest of course, yeah so she she, 384 00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:07,280 Speaker 1: like Ron, was a scientist, a seeker who was blinded 385 00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:10,960 Speaker 1: by ambition and glory and kind of thought that the 386 00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:15,640 Speaker 1: ends justified the means. The thing is, that's not always true. 387 00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:18,919 Speaker 1: It's never it was very rarely so cut and dry 388 00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:20,879 Speaker 1: like that either, right, And like, I don't know that 389 00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:24,680 Speaker 1: anything that we know about Ron paints him as either 390 00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:27,960 Speaker 1: a purely good or a purely evil character. He obviously, 391 00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:31,000 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, whether or not you think that 392 00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:34,240 Speaker 1: he was completely strong armed into it. He did join 393 00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:39,000 Speaker 1: the Nazi Party, he did witness these atrocities, but then 394 00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:40,919 Speaker 1: he also who knows what he actually did in this 395 00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:43,520 Speaker 1: capacity as a guard there. But it sure seems like 396 00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:46,879 Speaker 1: he tried to make amends in one way or another, 397 00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:50,000 Speaker 1: you know, But he seems like he was swept up 398 00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:52,639 Speaker 1: into something that was much bigger than he could fully grasp. 399 00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:55,399 Speaker 1: So to me, he's almost a casualty in this than 400 00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:58,879 Speaker 1: he is an active villain or hero, you know what 401 00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:01,960 Speaker 1: I mean. It's interesting. I completely agree because here's here's 402 00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:06,080 Speaker 1: another part to to add to that. And this this 403 00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:10,000 Speaker 1: came in the course of our research, so thanks to 404 00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:13,600 Speaker 1: Gabe Lousier for finding this part. There was a tweet 405 00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:16,360 Speaker 1: here that I'd like to read. We found a via 406 00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:19,800 Speaker 1: tweet says historians have a word for Germans who joined 407 00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:22,840 Speaker 1: the Nazi Party, not because they hated Jewish people, but 408 00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:26,040 Speaker 1: out of a hope for restored patriotism, or a sense 409 00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:29,840 Speaker 1: of economic anxiety, or a hope to preserve their religious values, 410 00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:34,560 Speaker 1: or dislike of their opponents, or raw political opportunism or 411 00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:39,960 Speaker 1: convenience or ignorance or agreed, that word is Nazi. Nobody 412 00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:43,960 Speaker 1: cares about their motives anymore. Which is true now Otto 413 00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:48,400 Speaker 1: Iran seems to us to be um a person who 414 00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:54,160 Speaker 1: is torn apart by the violent times in which they live. Right, 415 00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:57,359 Speaker 1: and and I like the way you put it in 416 00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:04,320 Speaker 1: all the the idea that it's tough to ascribe greatness 417 00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:08,679 Speaker 1: or on filliting to a lot of people. In any case, 418 00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:13,480 Speaker 1: Ron's story lives on. He would properly where he alive 419 00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:16,200 Speaker 1: today be very interested to know that the search for 420 00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:19,080 Speaker 1: the Grail continues at this point as far as we 421 00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:23,639 Speaker 1: can tell, unsuccessfully.
