'Ludwig Straniak (born 1879-1951), was a German mystisist, Germanic revivalist and most notably a Pendulum dowser. He was an Architect and Astrologer and was used by the German military in the Third Reich, not nessesarily willingly.

Two of the more well known mystisists, other than Straniak, used in the Third Reich by Walter Schellenberg through Heinrich Himmler, whom had a great deal of interest in Germanic mystisism and revivalism, were Dr. Wilhelm Gutberlet, whom was a pendulum dowser, and astrologer Wilhelm Wulff.

Straniak had a special gift for map pendulum dowsing. Straniak would dangle a pendulum over a given map and locate things. As a test, leaders of the German Navy requested him to locate the Pocket Battleship Prinz Eugen, then at sea. The Navy provided him with charts and were reportedly amazed that he had pinpointed the warship even through it was on a completely secret mission off of the coast of Norway. This impressed the Navy leaders enough to take the workings of the occult unit of the SS more seriously.

According to Karl Spiesberger in his book "Reveal the Power of the Pendulum", Straniak believed that brass was the most suitable material for all kinds of dowsing and that he discovered that even fruits such as apples, oranges, pears and lemons demonstrate a polarity at each end.
