Common card · No. 288416

Peter Levenda (born 1950 or 1951) is an American author who has written extensively about occult history. He is best known for his 1995 book Unholy Alliance, which is about Esoteric Hitlerism and Nazi occultism. He also wrote about the Nazi escape routes in his book Ratline: Soviet Spies, Nazi Priests, and the Disappearance of Adolf Hitler (2012), in which he opined that Hitler faked his death in April 1945 using misleading forensic evidence. Occultist Alan Cabal wrote in 2003 that Levenda was the author of the Simon Necronomicon (using the pseudonym "Simon") a literary hoax that derives its title from H. P. Lovecraft's fictional Necronomicon. The United States Copyright Office registration for Simon's 2006 publication Gates of the Necronomicon lists the author as Peter Levenda under the pseudonym Simon, but Levenda has denied the identification.
