SECRET TECHNOLOGY OF THE THIRD REICH SECRET TECHNOLOGY THE THIRD REICH German scientific and technological advances reached unprecedented heights during the Third Reich, but those undertaken in secret by the Nazi SS were based on the new physics and an understanding of how to control gravity. he title of this article may sound strange on the one hand and provocative on the other. A secret technology? Does it have something in common with the "Nazi UFOs", e.g., the Haunebu and Vril disc-shaped craft, or innovative "energy converters"? Well, in a way. It's about antigravity, but it's certainly not the same story. The familiar "legend" describing the alleged inventions mentioned above has a certain disadvantage: it generally originates from one secondary source—the infamous Brisant magazine —and there is no way to verify this information. Although it may contain some genuine elements, the main problem regarding its perception is that it describes something that would qualify as a 21st-century technology, but there is no clue that would permit us to connect it with the known context of 1930s or 1940s technology or even with conventional scientific theories. On the other hand, none of the facilities mentioned in the magazine could be found, and there is no original documentation to back it up. It's the main reason why this legend is generally disregarded by professionals. What I would like to describe here is something similar, but based on entirely different sources—mostly on previously unknown or secret, inaccessible documents. It does have connections with the scientific knowledge and to a large extent can be verified, and it contains specific names as well. This story, however, is almost completely unknown in the West and certainly in Germany. It may seem strange, but from my perspective—I live and work in Poland—it's a little bit more clear. The problem is that the approach to the history of World War II in Germany is very selective; and although there are thousands of historians dealing with it, certain topics are virtually untouchable and, paradoxically, one has to search in other countries in order to find anything. As far as the most interesting research activities are concerned, ie., development of entirely new propulsion technologies for use in strategic weapons, it was the SS (Schutzstaffel, or "Protective Squadron") that was generally in charge of them; and although there was a very large structure responsible for these activities, even the names of leading persons, including generals, are essentially unknown, even by the historians. The entire documentation referring to this research was lost in 1945 (it was, after all, carried out in exceptional secrecy) and so the only sources are documents from foreign intelligence services. I would like to emphasise the truth of this, despite the fact that this was one of the largest and most important projects of the Third Reich—something that was supposed to save it, even at the turn of 1944-1945. I've spent over 10 years collecting sources and other information that could provide an explanation. My task involved research in Poland, four trips to American archives and institutions including the National Air Intelligence Command at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, searches in Germany and even one trip to Argentina. The most important documents have recently been located in Russia. I dedicated a significant part of my career to this work without hesitation, because I knew from the start that it was the most important by Igor Witkowski © 2008 Warsaw, Poland Email: contact@igorwitkowski.com Website: NEXUS ¢ 35 http:/Awww.igorwitkowski.com FEBRUARY — MARCH 2009 www.nexusmagazine.com
