"robert arndt" wrote in message om... Well said. Three cheers for the guy with a brain! I'll give you another example comparison between US and German tech from 1945. Had the war gone on just until the fall of 1945 the German soldier would have had: a new M44 stalhelm, M44 Liebermuster camouflage (which contained carbon and IR defeating dyes), the STG-45 assault rifle, the Pzf 150 AT weapon, and Nipolit formed disc grenades. Reliant on horse drawn vehicles for resupply. The most shocking thing for most British soldiers when they closed the Falaise gap was to discover that most German army units were totally reliant on horse and cart to deliver supplies from the railhead. Every British Infantry division had been motorised since 1945 and they also realised that while the SS might be well supplied with weapons and material the average Wermacht soldier had to walk into battle on his own two legs, was armed with the 5 shot bolt action Karabiner 98k rifle of 1898 vintage and WW1 designed hand grenades. The Panzershreck was of course inspired by the Bazooka Had they managed to survive into 1945 without being Nuked the Germans would have been facing large numbers of M-26 and Centurion battle tanks which were superior to anything they had and fleets of the new US and British jet fighters. Germany was on the wrong side of the arms production curve from 1942 onwards. There was no other way to go than down. Keith |

arndt writes Snip Anyway, Base 211 is interesting to speculate on but no one could reach it on land. Only a submarine could get there if the location was known. I wonder if the US or USSR ever tried to find it in the trench? The Germans probably mined the hell out of the area. I expect that it's long gone. The icebergs that break off Antarctica will have taken any base with them. Mike -- M.J.Powell |

Vergeltungswaffen, just Vril-7. Meanwhile Thule came up with a more advanced Triebwerk that utilized Coler's free energy machine, a Van deGraf generator, a mercury sphere, and spherical levitators. This engine was installed in the large Haunebu craft that flew the Atlantic and made trips to an area Hitler knew would be safe from Allied bombing, New Schwabenland in Antartica. U-boats carried technicians and scientists to a base there, Number 211, via an undersea trench that stretched the entire way through what was know formerly as Queen Maud Land. Base 211 was carved into a cave complex similar to Nordhausen and supplied by transport subs, components of which even the Type XXVI were taken. SS Antartic troops maintained the base. Never heard of a U-boat base being given a number. No Type XXVI was ever built in the war. Work only started on it, late in the war so how is it suppose to be available in 1939? Nor is SS Antartic listed in a complete list of every SS-Divisionen formed during WWII. Base 211 is often referenced as a code-name for the entire Antarctic program and disc connection. It is a very unusual German designation. And why WOULD a secret SS battalion be listed among the combat divisions? I did not just check combat divisions! I looked at all. I also looked at the units that we have little references and that *may* have existed. Nothing like it. By the way German military records are very good. Generally if it was an SS battalion it would be so designated eg SS-Ausbildungs-Battalion or SS-Wirtschafts-Battalion but not always. The SS E-IV technical branch is barely known along with the Black Sun SS religious Order, the DHvSS, and the SS archeological unit that went to South America and Tibet... among other places searching for sacred relics. It was listed as SS Tibet mission which would make sense in this context in other words it would not a military unit as such at all. You really need to skip basic SS history and read up on the occult aspects of the Third Reich before opening your mouth. You probably aren't even aware that the Nazi Party (NSDAP) originated from the occult Thule/Vril Gesellschafts from way back to 1917. Before that Thule came from the German Order (aka Order of Teutons) of 1912 and was also known as the "Luminous Lodge"- directly connected to the Illuminati. I think we know of the Thule society here. That's what makes all of this hard to deal with; the entire Third Reich cannot be seperated from the occult, its symbolism, its mission, and its plans for ultimate control over the planet. Most people don't even recognize the swastika (Hakenkreuz) for what it symbolizes- the black sun wheel that Thule and Vril worshipped. A dark violet sun with dark powers. Vril is also the shortened version of Vri-il "Like God". At the heart of all this is the worship of pure evil. Hitler had little interest in this sort of stuff. Anyway, Base 211 is interesting to speculate on but no one could reach it on land. Only a submarine could get there if the location was known. I wonder if the US or USSR ever tried to find it in the trench? The Germans probably mined the hell out of the area. You cannot find what does not exist.

"Krztalizer" wrote in message ... If the German scientists and co were so much more advanced then the Allies with jets and new inventions from 1930s-1945, who knows what else was created that after the war the Allies dare not want the public to see.. A bemusing little troll. It's equivalent to an American saying that the Philidephia Experiment really happened. Interesting how everyone including some mature posters is hooked in though. But their leads were momentary, if at all. Allied jet fighters were introduced within months of German aircraft - and the main differences were primarily in the life expectancy of the crew and MTBF for the airframes, so perhaps the idea of 'first' didn't necessarily equate to 'better' or 'best'. To be fair compromises in some aspects of quality were necessary to redress the quantitative advantages of the allies. the life of a German airframe was not much in anycase. Note the work they did do on ejection seats. We could have rushed the P-80 into service a wee bit faster if we hung workers suspected of slacking off or whipped them to make them work harder, but that isn't our way. Actually forced or conscripted labour in production was fairly well treated and fed, it had to be. It was that labour used in the exacavation of underground works that appears to have suffered severely. German centimetric airborne radar development was a full generation behind Allied sets, allowing the cream of the NJG forces and hundreds of night bombers to be destroyed by Allied nightfighters. The list of technological failures is every bit as dramatic as their successes. Quite true. The time periode between the discovery of the rotterdam Garate (a H2S Magnetron lost on a Sterling in Feb 1943) and the appearence of A few FuG 244 equiped Ju 88G7s in Jan 1945 is about 23 months. The original German magnetron and microwave development team had been conscripted into the army and had to be recalled so that expertise was available. Even before that was done the presence of the magnetron on ground mapping radar was taken as proof that microwave radar was not good. Hell, the brown shirt "geniuses" didn't even realize the Allies were reading their coded messages just as fast as they were transmitted. Actually craking the code required a mistake to be made and a long message and when keys changed it could be a while before the were cracked again. When the u boats began receiving individual messages in late 1944 with their own unique keys the codes were never cracked. Even today WW1 secret dealing with US army records are still highly guarded.. so i can suspect we only saw a tip of iceberg from ww2. True, but it was a mid-1940s iceberg, not some sort of futuristic engineering eutopia where normal linear development is suspended, I guess because the Fuhrer willed it to be so? The critical limiting factors to all of the wunderwaffe, SS discs and secret bases, are time and resources - they were quickly running out of both and no matter how inventive, these guys were being directed by criminally inefficient and certifiably crazy egomaniacs that had no true interest in sciences. Just what sort of usable engineering gets created within the walls of Bedlam? There truely were some unnecesary stuff up that could have been avoided if the leadership understood how technology progesses. The fact that all German radars shared a single frequency and the secrecy sourounding the effectiveness soruning 'duppel' or the German version of Window which had so much secrecy placed upon it proper countermeasures could not be developed. |

From: "tim gueguen" "Erich Adler" wrote in message .com... I see that many people here is the United States cannot comprehend the developments brought on by the Allied bombing campaign against Germany during the Second World War. I see that many people, like you, are kooks who will believe anything that's put to them if it sounds "kewl." But over in Germany many such books exist on the subject you Americans find impossible to discuss civily, German disc planes. Discussion of supposed Germany flying saucers has turned up in a number of North American released books over the years, ranging from a '70s release written by Holocaust denier Ernst Zundel under a penname to Nick Cook's The Hunt For Zero Point. The SS, however, had been involved in the black arts since the Nazis took power and had both Hitler's and Himmler's backing to develope occult craft from the Thule and Vril Gesellschafts. If only the Nazis had wasted more effort on such nonsense, assuming of course they actually These black societies centering around occult teachings and two psychic mediums sometime in the 1930's built a flying disc that utilized technology derived from occult science. It flew badly and crashed but worked continued with the help of a Dr. Schumann who invented levitators centered around a liquid mercury sphere and various spinning internal disc plates that somehow caused a rotating magnetic field effect. And your proof that any of the crap you're spewing is true is? It's all in a classified file at Wright-Pat, Area 51, a vault X (fill in as needed) number of stories below the Pentagon, in a secret underground Antarctic base the Nazis built or accidentally burned as trash. Your version may vary based soley on your paranoia or sense of humour. Want to buy a tinfoil hat? I'd just like to know how come we don't see anything derived from these "crashed UFO's"? Keeping something secret and never actually using it sort of defeats the purpose of having it. Is it simply the technology and materials are so far advanced of what we are capable of producing, we have no choice but to store it in a vault until Earthling science and technology catch up? Sort of like expecting a cave man to copy a microprocessor. SMH |

Reliant on horse drawn vehicles for resupply. The British were reliant on Americans for resupply. The reality is that Germany was a resource poor nation that had only forrest and coal and horse drawn logistics was all that was possible withou access to cheap steel and oil. In the meantime the British were Lording it up secure in the monopoly and control they had of the the rerources of their colonies oil, rubber, tin, manganese, nickel, chromium, tungsten, steel etc. They forced boer familes intio concentration camps where they died of disease and poor food to secure yet more colonies, they helped Turks to invade Bulgaria and Just to swipe at the Russians who were heling their christian allies and all sorts of excuses to cut down anyone that might one day rival them by fair means. The most shocking thing for most British soldiers when they closed the Falaise gap was to discover that most German army units were totally reliant on horse and cart to deliver supplies from the railhead. Every British Infantry division had been motorised since 1945 and they also realised that while the SS might be well supplied with weapons and material the average Wermacht soldier had to walk into battle on his own two legs, was armed with the 5 shot bolt action Karabiner 98k rifle of 1898 vintage and WW1 designed hand grenades. The Panzershreck was of course inspired by the Bazooka The Bazooka was a miserable weapon, panzerschreck adressed its weaknesses. Allied soldiers in Normany had to use captured panzerschreks and panzerfausts becuase the bazooka and the infinetely more miserable PIAT were so ineffective. The Panzerfaust was however a very effective weapon that owes nothing to the bazooka. In its ultimate form the reloadable Panzerfaust 250 it was the basis of the RPG-7. A weapon more memorable and usefull than the clumsy, bulky and awkward bazooka. Had they managed to survive into 1945 without being Nuked the Germans would have been facing large numbers of M-26 and Centurion battle tanks which were superior to anything they had The more advanced panther tanks and their new schmalturm turrets had gyro-stabalised turrets, 88mm cannon and stereoscopic range finders so they would have matched the newer UK and USA tanks. and fleets of the new US and British jet fighters. Germany was on the wrong side of the arms production curve from 1942 onwards. There was no other way to go than down. You've been around long enough to know that German arms production peaked in 1944. The Germans and allies were well matched intellectually. The Germans lagged in some areas and lead in some. In the end they, and the axis, were defeated by far superior resources: the USA, UK, Australia, Canada, NZ, Soviet Union. This nazi sorcer stuff is almost as much nonsense as the Area 51 and Philidelpahia experiment nonsense. I say almost as much becuase theor possibly were some type of VTOL and lenticular vehicle research work using normal aerodynamic principles. Keith |
