    Discovery Channel

    Earlier on this year I was involved in a film session with Silent Crow productions.

    The topic was the Vril Society, a secret society that played an important part in the early years of Nazism and to which many leading Nazis belonged, including Hitler himself.

    The film has now been released under the title Dark Fellowships: The Vril Society and was shown on the Discovery Channel on 14th December 2008.

    There is also the possibility that there may be a reprint of my earlier book, Storm Troopers of Satan which is featured extensively in the programme. It has been out of print for a few years now and copies are being sold online for ridiculous prices.

    For those who have not seen the programme the DVD is available from either the Discovery Channel or a variety of online retailers including Amazon.
