Nazis weapons research facility discovered

Yes, the Nazis were "working" on all kinds of crazy stuff. One thing not a lot of people know about is the America Bomber:

They also made the first operational jet engine fighter to see combat, the Messerschmitt 262; along with the first self propelled bombs able to span the English Channel - the V1 & V2.

But the Nazis were their own worse enemy. Towards the end of the war, they couldn't muster enough fuel to propel a lawn mower - no less a bomb. A lot of key scientist left Europe (including Einstein) due to their religious or political beliefs.

Agreed in spades. A few more years of battle and we might have been eliminated.

Disagree. Never would have happened. The Wermacht was bled white by the Russians and Germany's lack of natural resources meant they could never compete with the volume of armaments the Arsenal of Democracy was able to manufacture. Germany's wonky allies were no help to their cause either.

"Fortress Europe" was a joke, and the Allies were stabilized on many of the beaches by noon. The whole German High Command were a bunch of boot-lickers by 1944 and Hitler was in a drug induced fog of Pervitin & para-codeine.

The Luftwaffe was mostly knocked out by round the clock bombing of German airfields and factories. The fact that most of their planes were out dated by the early 1940s and their inability to build a decent heavy bomber meant the air war was lost regardless.

Germany's Navy was pretty much dry docked after Russia really got in the war - and their subs just became targets for the U.S. Airforce later in the war due to better detection and the Bristish cracking of Enigma.

Germany lost the war the day they declared war on America.

A history lesson lost in today's world. The value of manufacturing might to any country (or company)--not outsourcing.

I might argue "Russia" instead of "America", but yeah..


Gee, Kammler had his finger in a lot of pies, didn't he?!? I trust the history buffs here have read stuff like "The Search For Zero Point" (and are familiar with the Blue Oyster Cult song "ME 262" off their Secret Treaties album).

True.

What people don't realize is all our drugs today are coming from India. This has been a drastic turn around in the past 10 years. It's hard to win a war without medicine.

Heh heh, that's me..."Mr. Questionable Influence"! B)

I don't consider it gospel-truth or anything, but it *is* an interesting read, huh?

It was entertaining, but I put the idea that the Gov't has been squashing anti-gravity technology and zero-point energy (because it's too dangerous for our enemies or even us to have) in the same category as the oil companies killing the 150-mpg carburetor that we all wanted in 1973.
 
Well, yeah, it did veer off into crackpot conspiracy theory territory alright! But IMO the parts dealing with Kammler/etc. (while not really supportable either) were entertaining in the same sense as schlocky historical-fiction thrillers. Heh heh, they should've done an X-Files episode or three on it (or did they? maybe I'm forgetting..).

LOL...I actually was going to post earlier that the author kind of got into a Fox Mulder "I want to believe" mode.
