Erik Jan Hanussen, an Austrian--born clairvoyant and showman, became Hitler’s secret mentor in crowd control and propaganda. He dazzled Berlin with séances, lavish parties, and predictions—including foreseeing the Reichstag fire. But his closeness to Nazi leaders and the debts they owed him sealed his fate. In 1933, Hanussen was brutally beaten, shot, and dumped in the woods. This film uncovers his rise, his influence, and his violent end.
