Spear of Destiny

FILE DATE 33
CROSS-REFS 02
STATUS NEVER CLOSED
SUMMARY
The lance that pierced the messiah. Whoever holds it, the legend says, rules the world.
FULL DOSSIER
The Hofburg museum in Vienna holds the 'Holy Lance,' claimed to be the spear that pierced Christ. Metallurgical analysis (Robert Feather, 2003) dates the blade to the 7th century. Trevor Ravenscroft's 1972 book 'The Spear of Destiny' claimed Hitler obsessed over it and that whoever holds it rules the world's fate — sourced to conversations with a dead man that could not be checked, and contradicted on basic facts. Documented: Hitler did annex the Habsburg regalia to Nuremberg in 1938, and Patton's Third Army recovered it in 1945. The rest is Ravenscroft.
