SS Brotherhood of the Bell: The Nazis’ Incredible Secret Technology (3 page)

Equally important, Polish military researcher Igor Witkowski’s superb research into all aspects of German secret weapons has finally been published in a single volume in English entitled
The Truth About the Wunderwaffe.
Needless to say, the material in Witkowski’s book on the SS’s most secret project, The Bell, greatly expands the amount of information available in English. The emergence of Witkowski’s research in English would, in and of itself, require a sequel to
Reich of the Black Sun.
I therefore rely heavily on Witkowski’s magisterial research in this work. Witkowski’s research likewise also raises serious questions and doubts about Col. Corso’s assertion that “ET” technology was gradually seeded into American industry after the Roswell incident. And of course, Witkowski’s research forms the
essential foundation
for any examination of the Bell and the exotic physics it may represent.

As will be apparent in the main body of this work, however, I have cast the Bell and the physics it may represent in a very different interpretive and admittedly much more radical and speculative a context than does Witkowski. It seems to me that this was necessary both because of the type of
signature effects
it seemed to have, but also because of the indications that the Germans were investigating a type of physics called by various names, but which, following the suggestion of Tom Bearden’s research into this subject, I have called “scalar” physics.

Such physics represents not only a new and efficient energy source, but also perhaps the ultimate power for destruction. Therefore, its continued and perhaps independent development by various criminal conspiracies and syndicates may indeed have been one of the penultimate factors and motivations in the assassination of President John F Kennedy.

Finally, Carter Plymton Hydrick’s excellent research has finally been published in book form,
Critical Mass: How Nazi Germany Surrendered Enriched Uranium for the United States’ Atomic Bomb.
Since there are slight revisions in this work from the internet version I first relied on in
Reich of the Black Sun
, revisions that themselves compel new speculations – many from Hydrick himself – it seemed appropriate that this work was the best place to address some of these issues. In any case, Hydrick’s work remains a standard in this alternative history of World War Two secret weapons that, like Witkowski’s or Meyer and Mehner’s research, simply cannot and must not be ignored by the serious inquirer into this suppressed and hidden history and science.

Finally, a word must be said about my own personal attitude towards and “philosophy” of UFOs, lest the contents of this book be taken to represent it
in toto
. First, I wish to make it abundantly clear that I am not philosophically opposed to the idea of extraterrestrial life, nor, for that matter, to the idea of life-forms that inhabit “higher dimensions” or “planes of existence.” That being said, I am similarly not opposed to the idea that such life forms may have visited, and may be visiting, the Earth. However, I am convinced, by a reading of various “contactee” and “abduction” reports, that much of this phenomenon is of a profoundly spiritual, and – dare I say it – evil nature.

With these broad remarks in mind, then what of actual UFOs? That is, what do I make of those reports that clearly indicate actual
advanced “craft”
themselves? While I am also convinced that there are many genuine reports, and even some even more stunning NASA space shuttle footage, by the same token, in but few cases do I personally detect a physics and performance signature that
compels
to any “extraterrestrial”, that is to say, extra-
solar
system origin for the phenomenon. I do not deny the extreme performance characteristics, only that in
most
cases the characteristics reported still fall short of anything practical for interstellar travel. Moreover, I fully realize that to connect
some
of the phenomena and documentary evidence to
Nazis
is a decidedly unpopular view in the UFOlogy community, overpopulated as it is by any number of well-known names that push the ET hypothesis no matter what, and even when they should know better. They produce their documents, and argue quite persuasively for their authenticity, and then go on to argue on the basis of their contents that the ET hypothesis is the most plausible explanation for the “government UFO cover-up.” And I do not deny the strength nor the cogency of their arguments. However, as I shall show, there are
other
documents that argue against that hypothesis, equally persuasively, that will never be mentioned by those well-known names at their conferences, for they clearly imply a “Nazi angle” to the story, even if “ET” is left in the picture.

By the same token, my use of the “Nazi Legend” to reinterpret the MAJIC-12 story and Colonel Corso’s
The Day After Roswell
may be misunderstood as well. Accordingly, I do
not
believe the “Nazi Legend” explains all UFO sightings for the simple reason that there are far too many of them for this source to be the origin of all of them. It explains only a limited number of cases, during a limited time frame in selected locations. Likewise, it explains some of the motivations of those who suppress “the truth about UFOs” but certainly not
all
the motivations.

But however I attempt to limit misunderstandings, I nonetheless do not expect this book will have me invited to any UFO conferences any time in the near future, nor, for that matter, will it endear me to many practiced in the “esoteric sciences” for reasons that will become obvious in the main body of the work.

It thus only remains for the reader to judge if a solid
prima facie
case has been made for the largely speculative reconstruction that now follows.

“The Background”:

The “Race” to the Moon

•
“The foundations for the grand space project were laid down during WWII.

•
“This project was conceived and designed as a collaboration between two superpowers.

•
“The Cold War was a convenient cover under which aspects of this project could be implemented and hidden.”

“In the Nick of Time”

“The methods and philosophies that the Nazi scientists brought with them resulted in serious breaches of U.S. security and the unthinkable horror of American soldiers being used as research guinea pigs in the same way that concentration camp prisoners had been used during the war.”

“James Webb, NASA’s second administrator, complained that the Germans were circumventing the system by attempting to build the Saturn V in-house at the center. Rocco Petrone, who became the Marshall director in 1973, said that Webb felt the group needed to be more tightly controlled.”

On January 4
^th
, 1945, U.S. General George S. Patton wrote a remarkable thing in his war diary: “We can still lose this war.” It was a remarkable statement, especially since the last large German offensive of World War Two, the Battle of the Bulge, was all but finished, and the victorious Allied armies, like their Soviet counterparts in the East, were then poised to deal the final death blows to Hitler’s crumbling Third Reich. Optimism prevailed at the Supreme Headquarters, Allied Expeditionary Force (SHAEF). For some reason, however, General “Blood and Guts” Patton, despite his well known public image of bravado and optimism, had serious private fears and reservations. The question is:

Why?

Why indeed, since on any conventional military appraisal, the German Reich was finished. It was only a matter of… time.

But even with the ill-fated German Ardennes offensive – the

Battle of the Bulge – there is more than meets the eye when one adds in the thesis of my previous book,
Reich of the Black Sun,
that the Nazis may have won the race for the atom bomb well ahead of the Manhattan Project. The objective of the German offensive was, according to the standard explanation, to break through thinly held American lines in the Ardennes, drive behind the Allied lines in

Holland, seize the port of Antwerp, and thus not only drive a wedge between American and British forces, but also to cut the supply lines to British Field Marshal Sir Bernard Law Montgomery’s armies in the Netherlands. But the standard explanation fails simply for the reason that the Allies would have been capable of using Dutch ports to supply the “trapped” armies. Thus, the end of the war presents, behind the “obvious” and “well known ‘facts,’” yet another mystery. What
really
was the Nazi leadership trying to do, and why would it have caused such concern to General Patton to cause him to remark about it in his diary? British author Geoffrey Brooks pinpoints the hidden military and political reasoning that lay behind the Nazi offensive by raising precisely this question:

Hitler’s Luftwaffe ADC von Below remarked in his 1982 memoirs that even he could not understand why Hitler wanted to go to Antwerp – “a place that led nowhere.”
³

But the answer may lie in a curious order placed in German shipyards in the period leading up to the surprise German offensive, for an order for twenty-four “500-ton submersible barges able to transport and launch V-2 rockets” was placed at yards in Stettin and Elbing.
⁴
And London was just within range of the V-2 from Antwerp.

But the mystery does not yet end, for an offensive merely to resume the V-2 bombardment of England does not yet make sense. According to Brooks, one only
begins
to see the logic behind the German offensive by seeing it connected to a resumption of V-2 attacks, for “the V-2 campaign had been a failure. Hitler knew that. There had to be something extra to make all this worthwhile.”
⁵
What that “something extra” was, was hinted at by none other than the Deputy Commanding General for the US Army Air Force’s Intelligence, Lieutenant General Donal Putt, shortly after the war in 1946. Brooks’ comments are worth citing extensively:

(Lt. General Putt) told the Society of Aeronautical Engineers: “The Germans were preparing rocket surprises for the whole world in general and England in particular which would have, it is believed, changed the course of the war if the invasion had been postponed for so short a time as half a year.” Putt was also quoted in an aside as having stated that “the Germans had V-2s with atomic explosive warheads.” A surprise is a surprise and hitherto ordinary rocket warfare had proved unproductive. The range of the V-2 was 200 miles. The crucial success of the Allied progress by December 1944 had therefore been to drive the German forces in Europe beyond this limit. The objective of the Ardennes campaign was the Belgian port of Antwerp, 200 miles from London.
⁶

In other words, once again, the Nazi atom bomb is the hidden logic at work in the operational plans of both sides late in the war, and is very likely the hidden operational logic behind the otherwise militarily indefensible German offensive in the Ardennes. Small wonder then, that Patton would remark “We can still lose this war,” even at such a late date. Similarly, if this scenario is the basis of his remarks, then it also serves to indicate that America’s most celebrated field commander was also privy to some very sensitive information.

As was seen in my previous book,
Reich of the Black Sun,
a number of articles appeared in the postwar Western press to corroborate the notion that the war was won, not against a tottering Reich, but just in the nick of time. The articles usually accompanied these evaluations with revelations of Nazi secret weapons, most of them on the “fantastic” end of the spectrum. Perhaps this was a ploy to convince the Western public that the Nazi leaders were quite insane – as if any convincing needed to be done by that point – and that their hopes were so wildly bizarre and unrealistic that indeed the Third Reich’s military state in late 1944 and early 1945 was all but hopeless.

A. “We Can Still Lose This War”

But psychological operations or not, even the American aerospace firm Convair (Consolidated Vultee) got in on the act, with a two page advertisement in
Life
magazine in its August 27, 1945 edition with an “article” entitled “…by the Skin of our Teeth.”

S
EVERAL TIMES
during the European phase of this war, victory was almost within Germany’s grasp…
on land, on the sea, or in the air.

Above all, knowing the vital importance of air supremacy, the Nazis tried time and again to wrest it back from the Allies.

And they almost succeeded.

Time Ran Out

Especially in the last months of the war, our margin of safety was slimmer than most of us suspected.

Just how slim it was is known best to certain American military experts
who have since inspected some of Germany’s underground research laboratories and war plants.

Here they saw secret weapons in various stages of development…
weapons which might conceivably have turned the trick for the Nazis if they could have used them boldly in a last desperate gamble.

Some of these things can be revealed. Others cannot
–
