  • They Used Dark Forces is the final part of Gregory Sallust's wartime experiences. In this novel Sallust is sent to investigate rumours of a German superweapon being built in Peenemünde. He is wounded following an air raid and encounters Ibrahim Mallacou a Jewish Satanist who uses hypnotism to relieve his pain whilst treating his injuries.He encounters Mallacou again when he is trapped in Poland attempting to smuggle out parts of a V1 rocket after several adventures including imprisonment and dinner with Hermann Göring the unlikely pair find themselves in Hitler's bunker during the siege of Berlin where they attempt to persuade him to take his own life rather than fight on. While essentially a spy thriller on the very concrete background of Nazi Germany in the last part of WWII, the book has a considerable Fantasy element. It assumes that Satan actually exists and that he endows his follower Mallacou with supernatural powers, especially telepathy and the ability to correctly predict the future - which becomes essential in later parts of the book's plot. There is also a Science Fiction element, clearly modeled on H.G. Wells' "War of the Worlds". Having gained the confidence of Hitler in his Berlin bunker, Sallust tells Hitler of the Martians planning an invasion of Earth with their super weapons, and convinces Hitler that he is fated to be reincarnated as a Martian, become the leader of the invasion of Earth and in that way achieve the complete world conquest which eluded him in his present life. Enchanted by this vision, Hitler becomes reconciled to dying when the Soviets occupy Berlin, rather than escaping the city to continue resisting in South Germany - which might have considerably prolonged the war and entailed many more casualties. That, of course, was Sallust's exact purpose in concocting the Martian fairy tale. (en)
