There are a lot of interesting books there on WWII as well as on the various odd details and conspiracy theories surrounding the war and the Nazi Regime. Whereas I try to read as much as possible on the topic myself, there's a lot to do and limited time to spend.
If you read or have read an interesting book that you consider relevant to our topic, I would very much like to hear about it. Your contribution could be a brief summary, a list of key ideas or possibly short captions from relevant passages. I might also post shots on the titles of some books I'd have to hear more about in the hopes that someone here happens to have read them (or would be prepared to read them for us).
It's somewhat heavier a task than the average one, but it's also a great chance to really shine (and earn our eternal gratitude, naturally).
Thank you Angela for coming up with the idea for this task, even with a shot or two this might save me a lot of work (and leave us more time for the actual design, writing and so on) as well as give us some precious material to work on.
The book (PDF below) is short with only 109 pages, and mainly puts Tesla's Dynamic Theory of Gravity in relation to Aether-Physics culminating the ultimate flying machine and free energy.
Basically instead of a space-curving force, gravity is transmitted by particles traveling through a viscous-insulating-medium, the luminiferous aether, which can be measured by putting two spaced plates under high-frequency electricity, and they will move, even in vacuum. (Casimir-Effect, so Aether is like vacuum-energy)
And so you can affect the Aether with high-frequency voltage and the Hall-Effect, negating gravity, etc...
I'm posting this mainly because I believe that a group of people with the means to negate gravity, that will be hiding on the far-side of the moon, might take a different approach to science. Especially if they can avoid the more 'Jewish' approach that seemed popular post-war. (from a Nazi's perspective anyway)
You can probably use the pseudo-scientific mumbo-jumbo in your dialogs/scientific notes/blackboard-scribblings...
Deep in the Arctic's polar ice cap is a inverted secret base - seventy-year old Ice Station Grendel built during WWII and used by the Russians to conduct experiments on hibernating a whole village of Inuit Eskimos. The ice base is accidentally discovered by a current day US submarine. The vortex of secrets - combined with the ice base's inverted structure of nooks and crannies makes for and exciting challenge to survive against the odds of an approaching Russian sub sent on the mission to destroy the ice base, as well, US special forces on the other side are attempting the same, while a handful of people caught inside try to unravel the mystery while escaping certain death from a pre-historic animal, named the Grendel; which was accidentally thawed (a smooth skinned mammal that is blood-thirsty and uses its heat seeking sensors to seek out its prey). The secrets in the ice base could alter life on Earth forever.
The ice base structure would make for a good overall gaming design - something to inspire your project.

The book has an illustrated rough map of the ice base.
In London, an Auschwitz survivor is murdered in his hospital bed, his killers making off with a macabre trophy - his severed left arm. Across the Atlantic, a vicious gang breaks into the NSA museum and steals a second world war Enigma machine. Meanwhile, in Prague, a seemingly worthless painting is stolen from a Synagogue.
To former art thief Tom Kirk, the Prague case certainly seems unremarkable enough when he is first asked to investigate, until the stolen painting turns up alongside the amputated human arm.
As Tom digs deeper into the past, it appears that both items are elements in an elaborate trail of clues laid down by a secret order of SS knights in the dying days of the second world war. Clues that stretch from the remote mountains of Idaho to the snowy streets of St Petersburg and that lead to a fabled treasure that has been lost for over half a century.
Tom, spurred on by the sinister light of the long-forgotten emblem of the Black Sun, ghosts from his past and the poisonous manipulations of a deadly enemy, finds himself trapped in a situation where the greatest prize of all is life itself. And not just his own…
What is really interesting to the book however, is not the plot itself but the many references to:
- the "Black Sun" symbol and Wewelsburg Castle
- the "cult" of the SS and the SS Reich Leaders' School
- the setting of Wewelsburg as the new Camelot
- the "Hall of the Supreme Leaders" ceremonial room
Angela: Don't worry, I think you made a valid choice - those pages you linked to look very informative and well organized, I shouldn't have a problem skimming them through and reading the essential.
Yeah, I do realize that's still quite some links to check out... sorry about that Matti, but I feared that if I wrote a more detailed analysis of each of those plot elements, I would end up writing such a long shot that you'd feel even more overwhelmed. Hence my choice for a synopsis and a short bullets list instead. There's just SO much about nazi esoterica out there on the web, it is hard to mention something without pointing to more sources next to it...
This book is really HUGE and with lots of images. It tries to sum up the man-made UFOs history. It starts with 1947 Roswell crash, goes to debunk the ancient-astronauts theory, to the project Blue Book and the most interesting cases (such as UFOs over the White House). Then it brings evidence that connects these UFOs to Nazi Germany and describes the German secret weapons development. I'd say it is a very good book but not as good as Henry Stevens' 'Hitler's Flying Saucers' or Nick Cook's 'Hunt for Zero Point'.
blah, blah:
This is a comprehensive and in-depth look at the early 'flying saucer technology' of Nazi Germany and the genesis of early man-made UFOs. From captured German scientists, escaped battalions of German soldiers, secret communities in South America and Antarctica to today's state-of-the-art 'Dreamland' flying machines, the astonishing book blows the lid off the 'Government UFO Conspiracy'. Examined in detail are secret underground airfields and factories; German secret weapons; 'suction' aircraft; the origin of NASA; gyroscopic stabilisers and engines; and, the secret Marconi aircraft factory in South America, and other secret societies, both ancient and modern, that have kept this craft a secret, and much more.
Another great book, a sort of "military detective story". It will give you goosebumps if you ask yourself "What if some of this was true?"
If you don't want to or don't have the time to read the book, you can watch a documentary called "UFOs: The Secret Evidence". For some strange reason, it is called "An Alien History of Planet Earth" in the USA (but it has nothing to do with aliens! Really!) Anyway, Nick Cook is the presenter of this documentary and it pretty much sums up everything he wrote in his book.
Cook travelled to the USA (Washington, Nevada), Poland, Germany, the UK and had investigated the story for 10 years.
Nick Cook is a British aviation journalist, he worked for Jane's Defence Weekly. At first, Cook didn't believe in any sort of conspiracy theory, after all he was a respected journalist in an international aviation journal.
But he decided to find out more information about an article from 1956 that said antigravity is just a few steps from mass usage in airplanes and automobiles. In the book, he meets many UFO researchers (e.g. Igor Witkowski), retired engineers and a very mysterious person who probably knows more than he tells (and is allowed to tell).
He concludes that the Germans managed to make an anti-gravity aircraft that was taken to the US after the war (google Operation Paperclip) and is it use by a secret society up to this day.
Perhaps the only thing I can point out is that it has very little pictures (at least the paperback edition has).
REVIEW:
Imagine the power, economic and military, that would fall into the hands of the person who figured out how to bypass the ordinary laws of physics, defy gravity, and travel near the speed of light.
Though it sometimes seems to fall in the realm of science fiction more than pure science, aviation-technology journalist Nick Cook's intriguing tale involves the long quest to develop antigravity vehicles and the sometimes eccentric characters who have played a part in it: Nazi rocket engineers, backyard inventors, NASA scientists, conspiracy theorists, and UFO watchers among them. The last group figures, Cook explains, because the ideal craft for "electrogravitic reaction" would take the form of a disc, a design consideration seen in the shape of current stealth aircraft. It could just be, the author suggests, that what witnesses have taken to be flying saucers might instead be antigravity-aircraft prototypes, though he cautions that "the subject is too complex ... to conform to a single explanation."
And therein hangs a good part of this always interesting, if admittedly speculative, story, which, regardless of the truth of the matter (or, perhaps, antimatter), will appeal to techies and Trekkies alike. --Gregory McNamee
I will mention this book only shortly because there's probably no way of getting it in English.
In the first half, the authors describe supposed former secret Nazi bases. The problem is that they are mostly underground and their entrances were destroyed by the Nazis at the end of the war.
In the second half, they mention speculations about Nazi weapons - from the A-bomb, to intercontinental rockets (google V-9, V-10, the Amerika Rocker), to radar, to foo-fighters to flying saucers.
They mention e.g. witnesses of a small atomic blast in Germany in 1944, witnesses of the "foo fighters" phenomena and UFO witnesses.
You can watch one of the witnesses here (about 6:00 but you can watch the whole video):
He spotted a flying saucer in Prague during the WWII above a German airplane factory. He seems credible because at that time noone knew anything about UFOs and there's no reason why would he make it up.
!!! A MUST READ FOR ANYONE INTERESTED IN THIS TOPIC !!!
Hitler's Flying Saucers by Henry Stevens
A Guide to German Flying Disks of the Second World War
This is without any doubt the BEST book I've ever read about Nazi UFOs and about WWII generally. The author calls it an "introduction" to the world of man-made UFOs but it is more than that, it is absolutely stunning!
Some of the chapters are e.g.: foo fighters, Schriever-Habermohl project, disposition of german saucer technology after the war...
The book is full of rare images, blueprints, documents, interviews, patents. It is full of facts and hard evidence, although in the end Stevens speculates how are the Nazi flying saucers used today.
If this doesn't make you believe in man-made UFO, at least it will make you think about some very disturbing questions. I was a believer before and I believe even more after reading it. There were many things and ideas that were new to me.
I've exchanged a few emails with the author (Henry) and he seems like a very smart guy who knows what's he talking about. I think he was also featured in one of the UFO Files episodes on History Channel.
You can buy in on Amazon. ;-) Well, you can also download it in PDF but you're breaking copyright laws. I own the book in both paper and PDF form and I love it.
* Learn why the Schriever-Habermohl project was actually two projects and read the written statement of a German test pilot who actually flew one of these saucers
* about the Leduc engine, the key to Dr Miethes saucer designs
* how US government officials kept the truth about foo fighters hidden for almost sixty years and how they were finally forced to come clean about the German origin of foo fighters
* Learn of the Peenemunde saucer project and how it was slated to go atomic
* Read the testimony of a German eyewitness who saw magnetic discs.
* Read the US governments own reports on German field propulsion saucers.
* Read how the post-war German KM-2 field propulsion rocket worked.
* Learn details of the work of Karl Schappeller and Viktor Schauberger.
* Learn how their ideas figure in the quest to build field propulsion flying discs.
* Find out what happened to this technology after the war.
* Find out how the Canadians got saucer technology directly from the SS. * Find out about the surviving Third Power of former Nazis.
* Learn of the US governments methods of UFO deception and how they used the German Sonderburoll as the model for Project Blue Book.
Seriously, this book sucks. Don't buy it, don't even read it. It is full of gramatical and factual errors and the author is obsessed with the idea of a Nazi atomic bomb.
The reason I bought it was that there is a chapter about UFOs. But there's absolutely nothing interesting and nothing new.
I think the author didn't know what to write about and so he said "Ok, I don't know anything about WWII mysteries but I'll read two books about it, combine them together, add some nonsense and I'll make a brand new book called Hitler's Terror Weapons. People will buy it just because of the name and that's the point. "
This is actually not a scientifical book or book with claims about Nazi UFOs. It is entirely fictional.
It is a sci-fi novel and a detective story in one. The books starts with two explorers searching for the "Amber Room" - a room entirely made of amber, gold and diamonds that was owned by the Russians (in St. Petersburg) but during the war the Germans stole it and it is unknown to this day where it is located (in case it still exists). The last clues lead to Central Europe and therefore, the two protagonists look for possible witnesses in Germany and Czechoslovakia.
They don't manage to find anything related to the Amber Chamber but eventually they find someone who remembers a secret Nazi base in the mountains where the soldiers were trained for extreme cold conditions, he also mentions two engineers, Schriever and Habermohl who participated in this project (google their names!). They get to know that they were to be transported to an outpost in Greenland (called the Biber damm). "Beaver dam" in English, Google "biber damm greenland".
They lose the interest in the Amber Room and they want to know more about the mystery of the Biberdam and the Nazi UFOs. So they sail away in an icebreaker. On the way to Greenland, a German soldier tries to kill them but they manage to escape. With the help of the Innuits they find a strange place with growing grass and heat coming from the ground (remember, in central Greenland) and there is a secret entrance to an underground submarine dock. They find a place full of blueprints, disfunctional submarines and flying saucers. But they were not alone as the German soldier returned with his boss, Hans Kammler (google his name, VERY interesting person) - and they both try to kill them. After a battle they fail and escape.
The protagonist know that there are still mysteries in the WWII history but they also realize that they can't do anything about it. So they travel disappointed back to Europe. There, their fellow researcher gives them a last clue - Hans Kammler is living in Florida under a fictional name. So in the end of the book, the story goes to USA where they really find him but he flies away in a flying saucer... (eh?)
In the epilogue Soucek writes that he believes in flying saucers but there are two kinds - the "real" extraterrestrial ones and the German man-made that can't be compared.
I don't agree with the epilogue but the story is really exciting. Soucek must've been really brave because the book was written in the communist era and in mentions UFOs (according to the USSR UFOs didn't exist and sci-fi was an obscure genre) and it mentions the USA in a very good way... Again, it probably will be problem to get it in English.
This book is called "Die Zukunft hat längst begonnen" in German original. The catchline is "The Third Reich, from 1945 to global domination".
It is quite an interesting book and it's main goal is to discuss facts claimed by Wilhelm Landig. Wilheim Landig was an occult Nazi, a friend of Himmler, who believed (or knew?) that there are secret German military bases underneath the poles. These bases supposedly docked Nazi UFOs and secret weapons like "Die Glocke".
When WWII ended - and the UFO-craze started - he claimed that the flying saucers are actually German weapons designed to conquer the world.
Sternhoff studied many documents and came to a conclusion that Landig was telling the truth. He mentions suspicious expeditions by both Nazis and USA (see Operation High Jump), unexplained submarine transports, large underground cave systems in Argentina and Chile (where many Nazis lived after WWII), secretive Nazi community in South America (Colonia Dignidad), Nazi flying wings (Horten IX), Nazca lines, psychological experiments etc.
He also dismisses the ancient astronauts theory and believes that the "face on Mars" is not natural and that the 9/11 attacks are a conspiracy.
I don't agree with MANY of his claims but it is still fun to read. The only problem may be the language. I've read it in Czech and I don't know about any other language translation (besides German).
