Peter Levenda is an American author who focuses primarily on occult history. He is best known for his book ''Unholy Alliance'', which is about Esoteric Hitlerism and Nazi occultism, and is also the probable author of the ''Simon Necronomicon''. ==Biography== Peter Levenda was born in 1950, New York City. He is best known for his books on Nazism and its use of occult and mystical practices and sources, and is an expert on use of former Nazi scientists in promotion of rocketry in the U.S., the space program and NASA. He is also known for using the Freedom of Information Act to add to source material for his speculation and theories about the involvement of the U.S. Government in research of dubious ethics, including research on human subjects without their knowledge. He was the president of the international division of Ortronics, Inc., a telecommunications company based in Connecticut. He appeared in the TNT documentary ''Faces of Evil'' as an expert on Nazi history with special regard to occult and esoteric practices. He has also appeared on the History Channel special ''Nazi Prophecies''. His most recent work, The Hitler Legacy, investigates the extent of Nazi influence before WWII in Indonesia, as well as possible escape to the Indonesian "archipelago" following the war. Levenda lives in Miami, Florida. One of his most important works are "Ratline." This is an investigation of the REAL O.D.E.S.S.A. (Organization der ehemaligen Schutzstaffel-Angehörigen; Organisation of former members of the S.S.). The Odessa was the subject of Frederick Forsythe's novel "The Odessa File" which was made into a film starring Jon Voight in the early 1970s. This far-reaching organisation, whatever its "official" name, funded as early as 1943 when the "Endsieg" seemed unlikely, made it possible for Nazi war criminals to escape Europe to the Middle East, South America, and even, he suggests, Indonesia. Many of the war criminals passed through Salzburg, Austria, the purported site of the Nazi "Final Redoubt." He cites evidence that the Croatian Catholic Monsignior Krunoslav Draganović was a central character in obtaining false identities, International Red Cross travel papers, and the like. He also has examined extensively Operation Paperclip, which brought the U.S. into direct contact with and sheltering of hundreds if not thousands of scientists, intelligence officers, and war criminals following WWII (the justification being anti-Communist contributions these people would make to the cause of Western Civilisation against the Bolsheviks). Draganović's activities made it possible for many members of the "Ustashe" (Croatian SS) to escape justice for war crimes. General Reinhard Gehlen essentially ran West German counterintelligence throughout a critical period of the Cold War. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Peter Levenda」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
