Jean Robin was a loose cannon of an esotericist who was interested in René Guénon. Joscelyn Godwyn described his passion in his belief (given by an “anonymous informant”) that Hitler died in a subterranean complex beneath Antarctica in 1953 – Headquarters of the Black Order – where his body was preserved in a hexagonal casket (in Godwyn's book, Arktos: The Polar Myth, 1993). This is chiefly what Jean Robin was famous for.

Jean Robin's French book, Opération Orth: ou l'Incroyable secret de Rennes-le-Château was first published in 1989.

Amongst other books, Jean Robin wrote the French books Rennes-le-Château: La Colline Envoûtée (1982), and Le Royaume du Graal: Introduction au Mystère de la France (1990).
