Any chance of you acrtually researching this subject, rather than just
1. believing in the Kammler mythology, started after 1990 by Polish 'Nazi UFO' author Igor Witkowski, and with no basis in fact at all, particularly
for 'The Bell'
2. believing Wikipedia about Viktor Scauberger, who was a forester and investor of water turbines. There is no evidence whatever that he ever met
Hitler, had any interest in 'flying saucers', worked for the Nazis, or designed anything which flew. Water turbines just don't. So far as I've
been able to work it out, around 1975, Canadian Ernest Zundel, also known as Christof Friedrich and Mattern Friedrich, and notorious for his
pro-active and well-publicised scepticism of the reality of the Holocaust, published – as Mattern Friedrich – the book 'UFO – Nazi Secret
Weapon?' Amid questions like ‘Is Hitler Still Alive?’ and ‘Did the Nazis have the Atom Bomb?’ he set out a range of wild speculations about
lost Nazi technology and, for the first time to my knowledge (I could easily be wrong), introduced a number of the key elements of Schauberger’s
involvement. Zundel says:
“Schauberger did experiments early in 1940-41 in Vienna and his 10 foot diameter models were so successful that on the very first tests they took
off vertically at such surprising speeds that one model shot through the 24-foot high hangar ceiling. After this `success’ Schauberger’s
experiments received 'vordringlichkeitsstufe’ - high priority – and he was given adequate funds and facilities as well as help. His aides
included Czechoslovak engineers who worked at the concentration camp at Mauthausen on some parts of the Schauberger flying saucers. It is largely
through these people that the story leaked out.”
Zundel also invented an account of Schauberger’s later history and death. Although he actually died at home in 1958, Zundel’s story is that:
“Viktor Schauberger lived for some years in the United States after the war where he was reported to be working on UFO projects. His articles were
greatly discussed and then one day in Chicago he just vanished. His battered body was found and as to who killed Schauberger or why has never been
discovered. One version has it that gangsters tried to beat his revolutionising secrets out of him and accidentally killed him.”
Zundel also published the first drawings – presumably from photos – of what he called the ‘electromagnetically-powered Flying Hats’. These
were actually of models of a 'Repulsine' water turbine, on to which Zundel cut and pasted a Luftwaffe decal.
Incidentally, the stories of the 'Vril' and 'Haunebu' Nazi UFOs were fictions invented by Vladimir Terziski and Al Bielek of the supposed American
Academy of Dissident Sciences in or around 1993. There is no historical evidence for either.
