Hunting Hitler on the History Channel
DNO, Vikings may make up for all the other dross. It's spectacular. Like finding a perfect diamond in a costume jewelry bin. -
Hunting Hitler on the History Channel
Mr. Kardec, I agree with you entirely. Mrs. Foster is the only expert I'd accept to be 'the boss of me'. And of course, Lizzie Maine, you have informed with your usual superlative pertinence, patience and tact. I am really glad that we all share an interest in these things that happened long... -
Hunting Hitler on the History Channel
The contrast though, is that in Nazi Germany, these folks won and took control everywhere, with ruthless consolidation, and held onto it for over 12 years of brutal and corrupt administration. I'm thankful that the Father Coughlins and Huey Longs, and George Wallaces and whoever else we might... -
Seperating myth from reality: Nazi secret tech development projects
Or is that just the cover story...remember, The History Channel evidently believes Otto Gunsche, Heinz Linge and others who actually saw and handled the corpses of AH and Mrs. H were just complicit dupes, lying to conceal the truth....(cue lightning and sinister organ music here). -
Hunting Hitler on the History Channel
I realized I might stir up a shindy with the Teamsters reference. My aim was just to easily visualize Nazi Germany in terms we might more readily relate to today. I could have said 'thugs or gangs' but that didn't really get the nuance of it. My reading of the history of that period suggests... -

Hunting Hitler on the History Channel
Isn't the consensus about Speer now that he was the worst kind of opportunist? His self-serving apparent 'apology' worked during his lifetime but in the end, he was seen as a shallow opportunist without morals or scruples. It extended to his selfish personal life as well. His vaunted success as... -
Seperating myth from reality: Nazi secret tech development projects
Did anyone check some of the links posted yesterday to see the gun that shoots around corners? Laugh out loud. Who knew Wile E. Coyote had a real wonder weapon from Acme! -
Seperating myth from reality: Nazi secret tech development projects
Tiki Tom, to your OP, here is a fun and pretty good online summary of the best known Nazi wunderwaffe: http://sploid.gizmodo.com/the-definitive-collection-of-secret-nazi-weapons-1473126559 Many photos provided. Of course, the most intriguing are the ones like the Nazi Bell, with its gauzy aura... -

Seperating myth from reality: Nazi secret tech development projects
On the theme of opportunity costs, the Nazis, particularly the military idiot savant Fuhrer, ("These operational matters can be managed by anyone..") were an Allied secret weapon. Who knows what might have been done with proper deployment of the Me 262 as a fighter instead of the Fuhrer's... -

Seperating myth from reality: Nazi secret tech development projects
The opportunity costs of the V2 were tragic: Think of the vodka produced from 30 tons of potatoes x 3000!. The horror...the horror.. That would have either given comfort to the beleaguered German populace or rewarded Ivan when he came to town. Your question raised is an interesting one. The... -
Hunting Hitler on the History Channel
The Nazis were boobs, of course. You knew someone would post that, right? -
Seperating myth from reality: Nazi secret tech development projects
I'm reluctant to post this but if you can endure a fire hose of paranoid Nazi conspiracy rant, tying together almost all the better-known mysteries and conspiracies (Freemasons, Illuminati, Nazi secret bases and societies, etc., even the Hitler and Eva go to Rio saga), go here... -
Seperating myth from reality: Nazi secret tech development projects
I have read also that the Nazis invested some effort in scrounging Biblical artifacts, ala Indiana Jones, and investigated psychic techniques to read the minds of their enemies' leaders... -
Seperating myth from reality: Nazi secret tech development projects
Not to detour the thread from Nazi secret weapons but on saucers, doesn't it seem likely that any 'real' saucers that have the speed and handling characteristics that have been observed (OK you have to credit some observations to get this far), have a propulsion system that's radically different... -

Seperating myth from reality: Nazi secret tech development projects
Here's the link to explain the Bell as simply a centrifuge for the bomb project: https://sites.google.com/site/nazibelluncovered/ This is probably the all-round best explanation of the Bell, anywhere. I confess that even the 'dumbed down' scientific explanations in this are heavy going for me... -
Seperating myth from reality: Nazi secret tech development projects
Don't think so. He purports to have some classified Polish data, including an interrogation report of an SS general, Jakob Sporrenberg, who claimed to know what was going on there at the 'henge' in Poland. Sporrenberg was a nasty piece of work, afraid for his own life (he did swing later for... -
Free time in the 1950s BBC
I have '1940's House' and 'Manor House' on DVD. Watched them when they aired. Incredibly harder than the folks thought it would be. There was also one set in the 1620's in New England. Think mud and cold.- filfoster

Seperating myth from reality: Nazi secret tech development projects
Something to consider: If the Nazis (or in our own time, the US Government) had/have advanced alien (space aliens, not Syrian refugees) technology, why would so much treasure and effort be dedicated to traditional technology projects like jets and rockets? Pretty expensive camouflage. That's a... -
Seperating myth from reality: Nazi secret tech development projects
I share your interest in this area. I'd take much of what's out there with a block of salt the size used in cattle pastures. The Nazis were working on a host of very advanced, cool stuff. The rocket fighter Me 163 was operationally deployed as were the V-1 and V-2. Many exotic airframes were...
