Hitler's Flying Saucers: A Guide to German Flying Discs of the Second World War

Very good and thorough look at a number of aspects of possible Nazi involvement with UFOs.

little known area of aviation history that has been neglected because of the obsession with alien visitors (black ops cover up ?)

There is a little quote from the back of the book that I would like to share with you: "The story is as follows and at least some of it is factual." That probably best sums this up. This is the first of a trilogy of books by Stevens that cover the topic of esoteric German Wunderwaffe technologies. Between this and the works of Joseph P. Farrell the ground is pretty well covered for English language readers. I have taken an interest in this topic since Nick Cook's groundbreaking "Hunt for Zero Point" [2001] & it is an entertaining area of research. I have a formal education in Mechanical Engineering to Master Degree so I hope I have some clue as to when the tech described becomes implausible. From reading around this topic I can say that certainly much theoretical research was done by the Germans in the period 1920 to 1945. Some of it was turned into technologies that we are familiar with: intercontinental ballistic missiles, anti-aircraft missiles, cruise missiles, swept with jet planes and so on. It is plausible that some basic development work on saucer-shaped aircraft was done in Prague after the German occupation that may have lead to the development of several prototypes. However these were far from exotic; they were nothing more than version of helicopters using a single large ducted fan powered by jets, ram-jets &/or rockets. The performance figures quoted though are not credible. Post war development lead to the Avro Car before the money ran out. The state of the art technology could not yield the desired thrust to weight ratios until the advent of carbon-fibre tech which produced modern consumer drones and military vehicles like the V-22 Osprey tilt-rotor. If the tech worked in 1945 we would know about it. We don't - so everything that follows is just a conspiracy theory. Fun but of no historical value.

This is a terrific book. Stevens is a German linguist, which enabled him to get to grips with much material the Anglo world could not assimilate. There is speculation for sure, but on the whole the presentation of evidence is quite compelling and very level headed.Stevens provides copious evidence for circular vertical take off craft with internal combustion and helicopter style aerodynamics, but when getting to the real meat of antigravity relying on the science of Victor Schauberger, he is more cautious. The author recognises that the "ET" meme is a distraction and without evidence.I relied heavily on this book in my own research when writing "Fake Aliens And The Phony Nuke World Order"

Thank you for this book and to those that shipped it out it, it arrived early on time!Book is everything that I need to understand the mysteries of this topic!
