Okey. According to Webster's dictionary and Eerdmans' Handbook to The World's Religions, Odin was the chief god in Germanic mythology. He was a warrior god. I will have to look further though to confirm Hitler's fascination with Odinism. I had read about it though, and one of the History Channel's many shows dealing with Hitler was about that.
