A "wish list" for Oliver Stone's WWII documentary
In school, I was assigned an academic book about the race to develop nuclear weapons by the United States and other nations during World War II.
The book title: BRIGHTER THAN A THOUSAND SUNS--A PERSONAL HISTORY OF THE ATOMIC SCIENTISTS. It was authored by Robert Jungk. Originally published in 1956 in Germany under the title HELLER ALS TAUSEND SONNEN, the English translation was published in 1958 in both the UK and the United States. Author Jungk presented this history based on direct personal accounts by atomic scientists in America, Germany, and other nations. On page 87 of the 1958 American edition, author Jungk states the following in a footnote concerning the German military and its corollary World War II corporate/military research and development efforts: [beginning of quote --] "The only exception to the lack of interest shown by authority was constituted by the Air Ministry. The Air Force research workers were in a peculiar position. They produced interesting new types of aircraft such as the Delta (triangular) and 'flying discs'. The first of these 'flying saucers,' as they were later called--circular in shape, with a diameter of some 45 yards--were built by the specialists Schriever, Habermohl and Miethe. They were first airborne on February 14, 1945, over Prague and reached in three minutes a height of nearly eight miles. They had a flying speed of 1250 m.p.h. which was doubled in subsequent tests. It is believed that after the war Habermohl fell into the hands of the Russians. Miethe developed at a later date similar 'flying saucers' at A. V. Roe and Company for the United States." [end of quote] In that entire book, that footnote was the book's only reference to the World War II development of "flying discs". As I recall, official history states that the "sound barrier" was broken in 1947 ... ... but the prototype "flying discs" (45 yards in diameter!!) apparently "had a flying speed of 1250 m.p.h. which was doubled in subsequent tests." BTW, 1250 m.p.h. is much faster than the speed of sound ... ... is it possible that antigravity was successfully researched, and then developed, in the 1940's by the German military/industrial establishment ? Many years after Jungk's book was published, there were other titles: Henry Steven's HITLER'S FLYING SAUCERS William Lyne's PENTAGON ALIENS Nick Cook's THE HUNT FOR ZERO POINT--ONE MAN'S JOURNEY TO DISCOVER THE BIGGEST SECRET SINCE THE INVENTION OF THE ATOM BOMB "Exotic weapons", access to "free energy", and "antigravity": Was this the hidden side of World War II? I would love to see Oliver Stone devote an episode of his upcoming documentary to the above ... |
