Popular culture aside, I remember a documentary (History Channel IIRC) where the "occult" practices of the higher echelons of the NSDAP. Was there any evidence on this or just speculation fueled by sensationalism?

Yes especially Himmler believed so. Look up Helena Blavatsky and Guido List because they inspired the occult nazi beliefs. The nazis believed in ancient nordic gods and spiritualism and that the aryan race once ruled the world before jews destroyed the societies one by one.

Only Himmler in his cronies actually believed in it, a fact that often got him bulled by Hitler.

Only some of them. And their beliefs were often pretty different. Some went full crazy retard like Himmler, others just believed in Aryan/Nordic supremacy and their ancient origin.
Hitler himself was actually more down to earth. I don't think he was ever a member of the Thule Society.

Didn't Himmler try to make the SS into a kind of Occult Knightly Order (Templars?)
