Line 16:
After leaving Germany, Glauer published ''Die Praxis der alter türkischen Freimauerei: Der Schlüssel zum Verstandnis der Alchimie'' (the practice of ancient Turkish Freemasonry: The key to the understanding of alchemy), and then, in 1925, ''Der Talisman des Rosenkreuzers'', a semi-autobiographical novel which is the main source for his earlier life.
He returned to Germany in January 1933, and published ''Bevor Hitler kam: Urkundlichen aus der Frühzeit der Nazionalsozialistischen Bewegung'' (Before Hitler Came: Documents from the Early Days of the National Socialist Movement), dealing with the Thule Society and the DAP. Hitler himself understandably disliked this book, which was banned. Glauer was arrested, but somehow escaped (presumably due to some friendship from his Munich days) and in 1934 returned to Turkey.
Glauer was an agent of the German military intelligence in [[Istanbul]] during the period [[1942]]–[[1945]], while apparently also working as a double agent for the [[Britain|British]] military. His German handler, Herbert Rittlinger, later described him as a "useless" agent (''eine Null''), but kept him on largely, it seems, because of an affection for "this strange, by then penniless man, whose history he did not know, who pretended enthusiasm for the Nazi cause and admiration for the SS but who in reality seemed little interested in either, much preferring to talk about Tibetans."<ref>Sedgwick, ''Against the Modern World'', p. 97</ref>
