Ernst Schulte-Strathaus
Ernst Schulte-Strathaus was a German astrologer who, alongside Karl Krafft, was reported to have constructed star charts that influenced Rudolf Hess's decision to undertake his rogue flight to Scotland in May 1941. Hess, the Deputy Führer of Nazi Germany, reportedly chose this date based on astrological advice, believing it to be cosmically suited for his secret mission1.
Like other practitioners of the occult, Schulte-Strathaus would have been affected by "Special Action Hess" (Sonderaktion Heß), the mass arrest of astrologers and other occultists initiated by Adolf Hitler following Hess's flight1. This crackdown aimed to suppress belief systems outside the official Nazi ideology, despite some high-ranking officials like Heinrich Himmler maintaining private interests in such fields1.
