Vril was made famous in their circles after they read the book Vril:The Power of Coming Race by Edward Bulwer-Lytton 1870. This book was a fiction novel but they believed it to be true. The Occult branch of the Nazi party decided to search the world for artifacts that would give them the history and power they believed.
