The Germans landed on the Moon as early as probably 1942, utilizing their larger exoatmospheric rocket saucers of the Miethe and Schriever type. The Miethe rocket craft was built in diameters of 15 and 50 meters, and the Schriever Walter turbine powered craft was designed as an interplanetary exploration vehicle. It had a diameter of 60 meters, had 10 stories of crew compartments, and stood 45 meters high.

The topic of this tread was a possible connection between the Horton9 and the B-2. I say yes since the Northop engineers visited the Horton and there are design similarities. I know nothing about any previous Northrop flying wings and their connection to the B-2 except everybody says Northrop was chosen because of the huge amount of test data Northrop had on flying wings. I will tell you that most German writers on the subject say something like: The B-2 had a German father. These guys know about Northrop and their flying wings very well but they are looking past that and to what the B-2 and Horton9 have in common.

Sure I've read it a few times actually. However the book seemed like more of a fiction story than actual fact. The evidence is at the very least circumstantial. It does make for a good story.
I have read hundreds of books on Germany in WWII especially the estern front. That is why i find your claims so hard to believe. Hell, I almost woih the Germans had beaten the SOviets.
I think much of this revisionist history by German's is try and prove to the world that Germany could have won the war if given another year.

Forschung, you have given me a very detailed reply there and obviously put a lot of thought into it, first though I will deal with a part of your reply that has irritated me. I have not jumped on any 'bandwagon ' as you put it, I am posting from my own point of view, neither have I ever said anything insulting about you, whether name calling (as you accused me of in an earlier post) or saying you have no common sense. Please try to enter into the spirit of the debate without taking the fact that I am not convinced as a personal insult.
You have misunderstood my only two questions (which were, and are, direct but remain unanswered.
If these books you put forward are as in depth and all ecompassing as you say then the answers will be contained within.
You explained at length how Germany wanted to drop an A-bomb on America and how it lacked the delivery system to do this, however both those fatcs are understood and accepted, they are undeniably true. The question though is how close to a working weapon Germany came. My view is that Germany was close, maybe only a few months, away from a working bomb. You however firmly believe that they already had at least one working bomb, possibly more, this is where my question arises and I will try to clarify it. with allied armies advancing on Germany rapidly and an increasingly desperate situation evolving, Hitler and his cronies would be perfectly aware of the consequences of losing, why not simply detonate a bomb on the allied advance? No fancy long range bomber was required, a He 111 could have carried one to behind the front lines or better still, detonate one on the ground by remote control right in front of the advancing forces. Now this is real desperation tactics but that is the situation Germany was in, the Nazi's were fighting for survival and they had the means (supposedly) right in their hands. Given this I cannot imagine that Hitler would simply kill himself without using this weapon to at least take as many hated enemies with him, after all he was always looking for the ultimate weapon that would change the tide of the war, at whatever late stage. For this reason alone it appears unlikely that Germany had actually got as far as owning a working device. Is that scenario explained at all? I ask of course because you have read up where I haven't so no more 'go read the book' answers please. If you have the answer just tell me, thats what we all do on these boards. If you don't have a documented answer you could just give your opinion.
The second question was clear enough and I stand by it.
However you raise more questions; What credibility does the renato vesco principle hold? Given that he was 14 when the war started I would say none at all, he has no first hand knowledge to give dredence to this principle (fuerball/ foo fighter fantasies) it is merely a term he coined to make the flying disc scenario explainable, a peg upon which to hang his theory. Anyone else could do the same. Given that he was merely an aeronautical engineer with an interest in flying saucers (as a device of purely terrestrial origin) why should I take what he says as gospel truth? Why do you?
Vesco describes 'foo fighter' type craft as being remote controlled by gound operators. How was this acheived in 1945? Intercepting enemy bombers, in the dark, following individual aircraft over considerable distances? It stretches credibility to its extreme given the primitive nature of radar and the short distances over which remote control was feasible in those days.
In his books vesco also talks about the 'kugelblitz' as a form of flying disc, which is odd as in 1945 the kugelblitz was a development of the Panzer tank!
If vesco is such an expert why did he make this simple error? In fact why is the biog that goes with hjis books totally false?
"Renato Vesco is a fully licensed aircraft engineer and a specialist in aerospace and ramjet developments. He attended the University of Rome and, before WWII, studied at the German Institute for Aerial Development. During the war, Vesco worked with the Germans at the Fiat Lake Garda secret installations in Italy. In the 1960s, he worked for the Italian Air Ministry of Defense as an undercover technical agent, investigating the UFO mystery."
Like I said, false. For example, did people really study at the German Institute for Aerial Development before the age of 14? Did this teenage lad really work at secret German installations during the war? What did he do, make the tea or sweep the floor?
Now, extending the argument can you tell me how come not one single report of German flying saucers can be dated to before flying saucers themselves became an almost obsessive subject in the mid '50's following on from the Ken Arnold reports? There is not one solitary contemporary wartime report on flying discs. Everything we have was authored in the following decades. You might not find this odd but seeing as there is contemporary documented evidence for everything else, including the German A-bomb work, forgive me if I do. Its not about denying German tech (for what purpose I wonder?) Its about common sense, and evidence.
BTW, an 'aerodynamic flying disc' IS an annular wing, however you dress it up. The stories about German flying discs are just that, stories.
What of the credentials of the designers?
There is nothing to place Klaus Habermohl anywhere except for his work on the radial flow jet engine in the 1930's, no evidence at all of his working on flying discs, ever. Except of course for claims in a book.
Interestingly, searching for Flugkapitan Schriever shows him to have been working for the Americans in 1950, delivering copies of the newspaper 'stars and Stripes' to army bases in Germany, I kid you not. So if he really was the creator of a working and revolutionary flying disc what was he doing working as a lorry driver?
Miethe, is a real enigma and after some research I am left wondering whether he reaslly existed at all. Let me explain, on the one hand you have the Dr Miethe who was recruited by paperclip etc etc and on the other hand their seems to be a separate Dr Meithe who fled to Addis Ababa and then on to Cairo who had nothing to do with paperclip, very odd. Could there be two Dr Meithe's building flying discs in Germany in 1945? I don't think so so how about another tack, Meithe was supposedly a contemporary and colleague of Werner Von Braun, they are supposed to have worked together in 1933, so I looked at von Braun and his own colleages and contemporaries. Guess what, there is not one mention of Meithe (or any of the other disc builders in this thread) in any reference I have seen that is concerned with von Braun, many other prominent designers and scientists are referred to but not these guys. There is a book entitled 'The Rocket and the Reich' by Michael J Neufeld which describes the development of secret weqapons at length, and yet there is no mention of these guys or their 'work' at all. Neufeld is German too by the way, why would he deliberately deny or downplay this exceptional work - if it ever really happened that is.
You might think that these people never existed or that, if they did, they played no part in the development of any German flying disc. And if none of them made a flying disc (or two, or several, or whatever) then it is highly unlikely that anyone ever did at all.
I did a web search on other things that keep getting mentioned here, like 'vril'and 'haunebu' etc to get a bit of a flavour and I was astonished to turn up this statement from one of the leading proponents of these two craft Vladimir Terziski
The Germans landed on the Moon as early as probably 1942, utilizing their larger exoatmospheric rocket saucers of the Miethe and Schriever type. The Miethe rocket craft was built in diameters of 15 and 50 meters, and the Schriever Walter turbine powered craft was designed as an interplanetary exploration vehicle. It had a diameter of 60 meters, had 10 stories of crew compartments, and stood 45 meters high.
Well I'm sorry but with credibility self destructed to that degree that is the end of the matter as far as I am concerned. Pure fiction, the lot of it.
PS Why is this page so damn wide? It makes for very difficult reading.
[edit on 9-6-2005 by waynos]
Renato Vesco was born in Arona, Italy, in 1924. A licensed pilot, in 1944 he commanded the technical section of the Italian Air Force.

Thank you for that lengthy reply, it made for intersting reading.
Your account (and your opinion as you pointed out) of the meetings between the highest ranking Nazi officials and Hitler and the question of deploying the atomic bomb is extremely plausible, in fact I am sure I have seen on TV or read somewhere an almost identical account except, I believe (and I am trying to remember here so I can't be too specific), that the account ended by saying that Hitlers demands were futile as the bomb was not yet ready to be used even if it was agreeable to the rst of them.
I know that is no more 'proof' than as if I just made it up but I am saying how that account co-incides with one I was familiar with before.
The question of just how ready the bomb was then remains open I think.
I am also curious how any sort of nuclear device might be carried by a Bf 109? As far as I am aware there is no modern nuclear weapon that could be carried by this aircraft so I remain highly sceptical of that one. I know modern small combat aircraft can carry nuclear weapons but you have to consider it in the context that the payload of a Harrier is equal to that of an early B-17 while even the Hawk trainer can carry a greater weight of bombs than a He 111. The payload of the Bf 109 would therefore be very small indeed.
The second question I had related to the likleyhood of flying disc technology remaining top secret for over 60 myears when that particular tech in itself does not constitute a weapon, but merely a development in aviation, especially given that top secret technology that DID relate to weaponry was public knowledge within one or, at most, two decades after the end of the war.
The phenomenal amounts of money spent on conventional winged aircraft in the subsequent decades also makes no sense if the possession of flying disc technology were found to be real. In my view of course.
regarding vesco, the reason I stated that he was about 14 when the war began was because I searched several online sources and discovered his date of birth was, well here's a quote lifted from ne of them;
Renato Vesco was born in Arona, Italy, in 1924. A licensed pilot, in 1944 he commanded the technical section of the Italian Air Force.
If this is utterly wrong then fair enough, however if correct it does call into question some of the claims he made about his pre-war and wartime activity, and if that is false then what else might he be fibbing about is how I am forced to take it.
In the next paragraph you mention the Drehfluegel, can I ask if this is related to the Traubflugel, or something entirely different? The description you gave seems to suggest it is similar if not the same, unless I have misinterpreted you.
Actually I don't completely deny the existence of such projects, only whether they were actually produced at all rather than just schemed.
regarding radio control. The German missiles were either gyroscopically stabilised and fired on a pre planned trajectory (V.1, V.2) or else the air lauched anti ship and anti aircraft missiles being used and developed at the time were often wire guided. In any case radio control , as used on the air launched V.1, Henschel Hs 293 and planned for the Arado E.377, was only suitable for use over short distances where the guiding operator could see the target. The idea of remotely piloted vehicles of any sort carrying out precise interceptions on specific aircraft beyond the visual range of the operator is frankly ludicrous, not the concept, just the actual acheivement of it in 1945.
Finally, you have misread what I posted, I never said anything about foo fighters being developed from a tank (WTF? )
I merely commented on vesco using a name for his (I think imaginary) flying disk that was already in use for something else. You have answered this point and I cannot dispute what you say, though I do find it hard to swallow. Another case for more reading then.

I have read umteen books about umteen of these 'secret German weapons', some reputable but a whole host of them with very very low credibility (single sourcing and cross-sourcing with other low-credibility sources) and as Rogue 1 says many are little more than a work of outlandish claim, more fiction and desire to believe, than genuine fact.
There's a, now thankfully shrinking, entire industry devoted to this, IMO, grossly overdone obsession about WW2 Germany technology (and the entire nazi era)......
.....all basically feeding the star-struck fan-club who in turn are falling over themselves to avoid the point at all costs that if they really were so singularly advanced as is claimed how come they lost, and lost so utterly?
Excepting, of course, those ultra secret bases at the south pole and on the moon!
(and all, naturally, claiming to be only 'interested' in the science and none of the rest of what that crowd were really all about.
No obsessional hero worship or unhealthy devotion going on there at all, no sireee! )
However, thankfully it's all 60yrs ago and moving further and further away with each passing moment, it's all very old and rather done to death IMO.
Given the sheer weight of published material how anyone can attempt to claim with any credibility that it has been down-played, covered-up or denied is completely beyond me.
Anyone interested in yet another site that has failed to get the message to cover-up, down-play or deny German WW2 technology - in this case the rocket technology - might care to look here at this reputable source (an excellent resource fo everything to do with rockets, missiles and space flight and aeronautics generally -

If so what are your thoughts on the ' Shauberger Implosion Engine ' and the device he refers to as ' The Bell ' ?
- I've heard of this.
Again it seems that the physics get all hazy.
There would appear to be enough to go on for the labs around the world today (and from time to time claims are made about these 'cells') but nothing anyone seems to be able to repeat in a standard open scientific test.
I am not writing it all off and calling it total rubbish, I'm just maintaining a scepticism until I see something that meets any reasonable standard of credible proof.
.......and I'm afraid I find way too much of the 'UFO world' (where sadly so much of this type of thing seem so reside) far to heavy on claim and assertion and way too light of substantive fact.

The principle is the vortex. It is implosion, densification, re-radiation. This is how the Bell works. The link between Schauberger and the Bell is only in the mind, however. Both devices input aether energy which spirals in, that energy is compacted or breaked (Bremsstrahlen in German) and re-radiated as other forms of energy such as the electromagnetic spectrum.

How about a test? I will list some things always denied by the "authorities" and you tell me which of these is a part of your personal belief system
1. A-10 rocket (a reality, not a paper project)
2. Just simple types of German saucers which actually flew--the Habemohl saucer for example.
3. Simple German "free-energy" devices, such as the Hans Coler devices.
4. Motorstoppmittel (means to stop engines) the weapon by which the Germans proposed to halt all ignition based engines within a certain radius.
Another way conceived to fight the armor with hand grenades was the use of a Motorstopmittel ("engine stop agent"). A handgrenade was filled with fine powder - Stopsand - that was to be sucked into the tank's engine. It was obvious that the weapon would be useless if appropriate air intake filters were installed on the tanks.
5. German rail guns.
Tell me which you think are frauds and we can talk about them.

How did you come to this hypothesis ? There is almost no information on how the device worked except for one or two paragraphs in The Hunt For Zero Point.
How did the device dilate time ?

- *Ahem*
Joseph Farrell author of 'The Giza death star'!?
Wow, height of credibility there matey!
Maybe you can drag in Erich Von Daniken with something to say on this too, hmmm?
Actually I have provided several reputable links on German rocketry, synthetic fuels, computers...... and that German atomic bomb you seem so convinced existed.
(......and I note your passing swiftly along and saying nothing regarding my links about this latest out-break of nonsense showing the acedemic supposedly connected to this story has not actually made claims that Germany ever had or manufactured an A-bomb, no surprises there then, hmmm?)
This alternate idea of the German A-bomb is most hilarious.
(a tiny form no-one else could manage to perfect post WW2 - ie with the greatest national effort(s) and resources both financial and material in several of the world's richest countires (sometimes acting in cooperation) the like of which WW2 German science could only have dreamed of - for a few decades!
Most hilariously......dropped by an Me 109!
.....and all this supposition and "maybes" just because an unidentifed picture of an Me109 carrying an unusual 'store' on the centreline rack has, allegedly, turned up.
Wow, some 'evidence' and some 'proof'!
I hear the bottom being strenuously raked out of the bottom of barrels and the gullible being parted from their money by a new book!
I thank God none of you guys, so desparate to believe this stuff, work in the criminal justice system, the level of 'evidence' and 'proof' you guys require to prove something to your satisfaction is quite funny.......but I suspect it only really applies - for some reason - to WW2 German stuff, right?
The Me 109; possibly the most unsuitable heavy load carrying fighter in Germany's airforce.
If you want to tallk of what was ready "from the get go" to carry much heavier loads - faster, better armed and more survivably thanks to no liquid cooled engine - then a Focke Wulf FW190G (or F version) would have been far more suited as it could carry - from the get go - a 1800KG bomb!
A Ju87 Stuka would by early 1945 have been cut to pieces by almost anything allied it encountered.)
But, of course, this is absolute rubbish.
There was no German A-bomb, big or tiny.
Not one serious credible shred of evidence exists for it no matter how many "maybes", "mights" and "possibly" the authors - or you - use to cover a total lack of any serious evidence......as is typical with many of these 'theories'.
How about a test? I will list some things always denied by the "authorities" and you tell me which of these is a part of your personal belief system
- What for, you will simply deny any and all reputable sources and claim your obscure German books - or people like Farrell - prove all?
I have already demonstrated the ease with which information can be obtained freely on all these issues (without even bothering with the vast array of UFO-logy).
Hardly down-playing, covering up nor denying.....which was your original claim.
I might also say that there is a deeply suspicious side to all of this.
How come it has taken until 60yrs have gone by for all these German sources to come forward......and how come the eastern ones have waited so long until after the wall came down?
"Some very old guy said" on it's own is hardly much of a basis for establishing much is it, hmmm?
1. A-10 rocket (a reality, not a paper project)
- ......and yet (even if we go along with this fantasy) it took Von Braun et al almost 12yrs+ with the most lavish funding and material resources to design, create and perfect anything with staging and the range of the proposed A10.
I'd love to know who says the A10 was a tangible reality.......cos people like Von Braun certainly never did.
Can you show us an example of one completed, hmmm?
Of course not.
2. Just simple types of German saucers which actually flew--the Habemohl saucer for example.
- You enjoy the world of UFO-logy all you like, I have no interest in it at all.
3. Simple German "free-energy" devices, such as the Hans Coler devices.
- The day I see this stuff demonstrated on any sort of scale and in public by reputable and internationally accredited and respected physicists is the day I start thinking much about those quirky little ideas.
(oh and you'll also find the net full of stuff about it/them......again, no sign of the down-playing, denying or covering up going on there.)
.....failing that, I suggest you go out into the world and make a fortune, "free energy" (especially clean free energy is something the world is crying out for) you'd make millions!
4. Motorstoppmittel (means to stop engines) the weapon by which the Germans proposed to halt all ignition based engines within a certain radius.
- What is so advanced about this?
"Stop sand" to clog engines spread by a handgrenade!?
Another way conceived to fight the armor with hand grenades was the use of a Motorstopmittel ("engine stop agent"). A handgrenade was filled with fine powder - Stopsand - that was to be sucked into the tank's engine. It was obvious that the weapon would be useless if appropriate air intake filters were installed on the tanks.
www.geocities.com...
5. German rail guns.
- Everyone has been interested in railguns at one time or another.
Without super-conducting they are not feasible on any real scale (as the mag-lift train projects - once again using the best and latest knowledge and lavish materials and financial resourcing - all around the world post WW2 show very clearly.)
Tell me which you think are frauds and we can talk about them.
- There is a difference between a project genuinely looking at a topic back then and the wild claims that have been later made for such 'projects'.
Especially those claims made by those who have gotten very rich picking over the unusual and obscure from Germany back then.
The first has nothing to do with 'fraud', the second (like much of the 'amazing German secret weapons of WW2' industry stretches the truth so ludicrously that that does, IMO, become fraud.
Show an example of any German project 'covered up'. There isn't one.
There have been litterally hundreds (if not thousands) of books going on and on and on and on about this supposedly amazing and staggeringly advanced nazi tech - much of it in fact an interesting blend of old traditional skills and the - then - emergent new.
(Go look at a sectioned V2 or Me 262 etc to see what I mean, wooden parts sitting along side the - then- advanced electrical.)
The claims that this is all just a stone-wall cover-up flies in the face of reality.
The museums of the victorious allies are full of examples of WW2 German tech; there were - in the UK at least - exhibitions and travelling shows immeadiately post war showing what was captured, including the rockets and jets.
Why show off that 'advanced' stuff and hide others?
.......and if such a cover-up existed why would the USSR in particular (cos they must have been party to it too as they would have known all or most of the 'true story' thanks to what they captured) help hide this manipulative 'plot'?
Surely they would have been quick to expose the falsehood of western claims of 'freedom' and 'truth' to cause the western public to have no confidence in their obviously manipulative governments?
It makes no sense at all......and once again beyond the theorising there is not the slightest shred of evidence in support of it.
But you carry on believing what you want to believe.
Life's too short to be dwelling too long on the ridiculous wild claims and crumbling old relics of a deservedly failed poisonous ideology.
