Question Secret German UFOs

German secret weapons and Nazi UFOs: the German saucers V-7

I have been doing a fair amount of research into this stuff lately. Does anyone know of any legitimacy to this stuff? Are there any highly reputable sources out there?

Who believes this to be poppycock? Does anyone think it's entirely real?

It's nonsense, a side project of the UFO industry.



If you don't believe me try reading "HITLERS SUPPRESSED and STILL-SECRET WEAPONS, SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY" by Henry Stevens. It's one of the worst written books in the history of badly written books and a solid waste of the $20 cover price.

It includes an eye-witness account of a Nazi UFO in flight but, unlike the norm, refuses to identify the witness by any more than his first name so as to spare him having people ask him about it, reproduces official denials as examples of how there's a conspriracy to conceal the truth, and has some chapters of just two to six pages long the bulk of which is pure wittering.

The site you offered a link up for is a good example of the UFO industry, especially how they only offer their "findings" up for a fee. Even the highly discredited and wholly unpleasant David Irving doesn't try that one.

There are still some secret, or classified, weapons or devices from WWII, but there's a historical basis to them, and we know they're still classified. There's no serious suggestion of UFOs though.

If one knows the source of a flying object, how could it be unidentified, anyway? This is just foolishness.

Talking Re: Secret German UFOs

There's a good site for you if you like phantasies, lunacies and flights of the imagination. Luft '46 - WWII German aircraft projects

Some are serious prototypes, others only paper towel lunch time doodles.

Pretty art though, even if the prop-in-the-middle idea is wacky



Now, about that Brooklyn Bridge deal, I have to tell you that I have very few left!

Hahaha. Thanks Za. I appreciate the link. I'm always fascinated to find out what kinds of weird things the Germans were up to (the list is long and varied). That's why at first I was unsure if there was any credibility to these stories.

well sorry to disagree with you boys.........

but yes indeed there were indeed mock-ups, tech drawings, the hard-cores did not have the time to further their technology in the underground bunkers and caves in the Bayern but yes this stuff was being worked on. One of the reasons and it is my opinion that the area on the hill above Oberammergau was so quickly taken by the US military and is still locked up with no access at all from the public to the underground facilities there-in. We know that the Heinkel and 262 future projects were being worked on there in 45 but also some other secret ta-doo's as well. I've got about 6 pages of drawings ssent to me from German back in the 1970's I will try and dig out and post here for interest if anyone IS interested ?

Um, nobody doubts there were Vergeltungswaffen of various types being proposed, and some actually being planned or mocked up. However, the current woo is that they actually built working versions of these things and used them to colonize Antarctica.

it was actually Greenland due to the fact that weather bases were being established much more than for weather objectives, it was in the books that they were going to build underground termine tunnels to England and thus attack England right up the Butt, it was going to be of the days of old - Blitzschlacht like they did in Poland and Holland with fast narrow craft - that of the UFO's

Ach, the beer is flowing tonight!

Anyway, for postwar work. Kurt Tank (Ta 152) did work postwar in Argentina and India. For Argentina he did the FMA I.Ae.33 Pulqui II, derived from the Ta 183 design. Later on for India he designed the Hindustan Aeronautics Limited HF-24 Marut, which as the name says was rather Limted

Ta 183


Pulqui II


Marut


Curiously the Pulqui I had been designed by Emil Dewoitine, ugly as sh1t!


Willy Messerschmitt also had an interesting career postwar, and one of his designs was the HA-300, started in Spain and continued in Egypt. Crazy story!


Ernst Heinkel did these


And you may stop laughing because Willy Messerscmitt did these too!


And I remember seeing the Heinkels on the streets, little did I know

This is how you convert a crappy thread into something useful. So there!
