Clarity, hast thy no Google? There is a lot of info on the Thule Society 
on the web, a lot of it is nonsense, however a more or less reasonable 
(reasonable as the Thule Society was not instrumental in the foundation 
of the NSDAP, and as to the alleged memberships of Rudolf Hess and 
Rosenberg, a more nuance is needed) digest is this:

The Thule-Gesellschaft (Thule <../../t/th/thule__myth_.html> Society) 
was founded August 17 <../../a/au/august_17.html>, 1918 
<../../1/19/1918.html>, by Rudolf von Sebottendorff 
<../../r/ru/rudolf_von_sebottendorff.html>. Its original name was 
Studiengruppe für germanisches Altertum (Study Group for German 
Antiquity), but it soon started to disseminate anti-republican and 
anti-Semitic <../../a/an/anti_semitism_1.html> propaganda. It was 
instrumental in the foundation of the Deutsche Arbeiter-Partei 
<../../g/ge/german_workers__party.html> (German Workers' Party) which 
later became the NSDAP (Nazi Party <../../n/na/nazi_party.html>). It had 
members from the top echelons of the party, including Rudolf Hess 
<../../r/ru/rudolf_hess_1.html> and Alfred Rosenberg 
<../../a/al/alfred_rosenberg.html>, though not Adolf Hitler 
<../../a/ad/adolf_hitler.html>. Its press organ was the Münchener 
Beobachter (Munich Observer) which later became the Völkischer 
Beobachter (People's Observer).
