ok , the obvious question - why were they never used ?
More than likely because they never worked aside from weak test flights using conventional engines not nearly good enough to substitute the fantastical (and impossible) idea of levitation propulsion.
Well, if I see the 'specs' on those 'Vril' and 'Haunebu' craft I would assume Hitler and the higher echelon would be very interested since it would outperform anything the Allies had in their aircraft inventory.
Don't you think the project leaders would have mentioned it to the Luftwaffe leadership?
No it's not feasable. If you have superior weaponry in times of war while you're on the defensive (and losing) you would simply rush them into service and use them.
It's on record that a German jet engine lasted for about 10 hours before it needed to be completely overhauled again. So their jet engines were far from perfect and that doesn't help the Nazi UFO myth either.
I was under the impression that the Nazi's stayed in charge right up to the end. Now you are suggesting that those craft didn't belong to them? From my perspective you're filling in holes within the theory in order to make it work.
However, once Hitler was firmly in control, do you think those same CEO's would be unaware of the consequences of going against Hitler?

We should be very careful with the word "impossible" -
As far as levitation, maglev trains are a fact. We're still working out the logistics, but the Japanese seem to have a good handle on the technical problem.
The Meissner Effect is a fact. The experimental evidence for the validity of the Bose-Einstein Conjecture is building steadily, everything from Podkletnov and Li's experiments to NASA Gravity Probe data.
Since 2006, Dr. Baker's worked has pushed forward with all impetus. His research (as part of Gravwave, LLC) is closely tied to the current Chinese efforts. Keep in mind, he is associated with Lockheed Martin (listing Buzz Aldrin as a business partner on his website, www.gravwave.com) as well as a professor, running the preeminent HGFW research department in American (and possibly world) academia at UCal - Berkely.
using the Alcubierre Warp Drive and superconducting technology to change the shape of space local to the theoretical "starship" so that relativistic mass-energy linkage at high fractions of the speed of light becomes less of a barrier to such high speed travel.
Antimatter
In the Star Trek television series and movies, antimatter
was the energy source the Starship Enterprise
used to power its warp drive. While Star Trek was science
fiction, antimatter is science fact. [Antimatter is
matter with its electrical charge reversed. Instead of
protons, it has antiprotons; instead of electrons, it has
positrons.] For many years, leading university
research centers at Harvard, Penn State, and other colleges
and universities have produced and experimented
with antimatter. Antimatter, as an energy source,
has such great energy density that one button-sized
portion has 123 times more energy than the space shuttle
has at liftoff.
Such extreme energy density has far-reaching
implications for logisticians and for energy resupply
on the battlefield of the future. For example, a combat
vehicle commander could be issued a cigar box-sized
container filled with buttons of antimatter that would
provide 30 to 40 years of energy to move, shoot (with
high-energy weapons), and communicate. This capability
would virtually eliminate the requirement for
energy resupply of combat vehicles in the future.
Scientists have discovered how to levitate antimatter
in an electromagnetic field. The practical capture of
the energy released from antimatter, in such a way that
the energy could be metered out in usable increments,
requires further exploration in the laboratory. One day,
this dense energy source will make its debut on the
battlefield. The tremendous benefits to resupply of
energy will be well worth the time and investment.
a levitated dipole would be favorable for a D-He3 fuel cycle based power source. The D-D cycle is the most promising because of the availability of deuterium. Recently we have considered utilizing a levitated dipole for the D-D cycle based power source. Fusion reactors based on the deuterium-deuterium (D-D) reaction would be superior to D-T based reactors in so far as they can greatly reduce the power produced in neutrons and do not requires the breeding of tritium. In a recent article titled "Helium Catalyzed D-D Fusion in a Levitated Dipole" we have proposed a fusion power source, based on an alternative fuel cycle which we call ``helium catalyzed D-D". We have explored the application of a levitated dipole as a D-D power source and found that a dipole may have the unique capability of producing excellent energy confinement accompanied by low particle confinement. Additionally a levitated dipole device would be intrinsically steady state and extract power as surface heating, permitting a thin walled vacuum vessel and eliminating the need for a massive neutron shield. We find that a dipole based D-D power source can potentially provide a substantially better utilization of magnetic field energy with a comparable mass power density as compared to a D-T based tokamak power source.

It is interesting though that he claims Adamski met a German blonde pretending to be an Alien in a Brazilian made German ship..
This might actually make sense

I don't know where you got your information, probably from the same sources that make up the Nazi UFO myth, but Meier said nothing of the sort. Meier takes the debunking approach when it comes to Adamski and claims that he fabricated his pictures and influenced eyewitnesses using 'suggestive powers' into 'seeing things that weren't there'.
