Rudolf Freiherr von Sebbottendorff (the alias of Adam Alfred Rudolf Glauer) was a German aristocrat and political activist. He helped found the German Workers' Party (DAP), which in 1920 changed its name to the Nazi Party.[1] He led a group called the Thule Society. It was made up of German mystics, occultist, and nationalists. He also originally founded and owned the anti-semitic newspaper the Volkishcher Beobachter that Hitler and the Nazi Party later purchased.[2] He was an occultist.[3] He was a Freemason, even though the Nazi Party opposed Freemasonry.[4] He wrote The Practice of the Ancient Turkish Freemasons. He was initiated into Freemasonry by a Jewish family called the Termudis prior to the World War I.
