According to the director of Skoda V. Foss, at the end of April 1945 the Nazis planned to strike from space on Moscow, London and New York.
- Work on Die Glocke (translated from German - "Bell") began in 1940. They were controlled from the "SS think tank" at the Skoda factory in Pilsen by designer Hans Kammler. At first, the "miracle weapon" was tested in the vicinity of Breslau, but in December 1944 a group of scientists was transported to an underground laboratory (with a total area of 10 km²!) Inside the Wenceslas mine. Die Glocke documents describe it as a huge bell made of hard metal, about 3 m wide and about 4.5 m high. This device contained two lead cylinders rotating in opposite directions and filled with an unknown substance codenamed Xerum 525. When turned on Die Glocke illuminated the mine with a pale purple light. For me personally, "The Bell" is just a hellish mixture of experiments based on nuclear physics, plasma, gravity and magnetic fields.
"Bell" killed everything around
Polish journalist Igor Witkowski (author of the acclaimed book The Truth About the Wunderwaffe) cites documents from archives of several countries to prove his version. These are the protocols of interrogations in Poland of SS Gruppenfuehrer Jakob Sporrenberg, and the testimony of the captive Skoda director Wilhelm Foss to the Americans, and the Argentine Defense Ministry's declassified dossier in 1993, indicating that in May 1945, “in Buenos Aires, the German aircraft that delivered parts of the Bell project. Sporrenberg told Polish investigators how he personally observed the consequences of the experiments with Die Glocke. According to Gruppenfuehrer, the radiation from the Bell turned off the electricity within a radius of up to 2 km, the experimental animals died (crystals appeared in the bodies of rats and rabbits, and the blood coagulated).
Plants lost chlorophyll, turned white, and decomposed after 8-10 hours. But the energy of the "Bell" was not supposed to serve as an analogue of an atomic bomb: on the contrary, SS scientists tried to reduce the lethality of the rays, and at the end of the war they managed to make them harmless. Why, then, was such a weapon needed?

Witkowski himself is 100% sure: Die Glocke was a breakthrough in space technology. The most plausible version is that the "Kolokol" produced fuel for hundreds of thousands … "flying saucers". More precisely, disk-shaped aircraft with a crew of one or two people. "Plates" were able to rise vertically into the air in a second, attack the enemy with lightning speed, hit targets with a laser from space - this would make them invulnerable to the air defense of allies. According to Skoda director V. Foss, at the end of April 1945 the Nazis planned to use these devices to carry out the “Spear of Satan” operation - to strike at Moscow, London and New York. About 1000 (!) Ready-made "UFOs" were subsequently captured by the Americans - at underground factories in the Czech Republic and Austria. Researcher Joseph Farrell stated: "unidentified flying object"fallen in the woods near Kexburgh, Pennsylvania in 1965 - an experiment by the Department of Defense, creating a "plate" based on the models of Hans Kammler. Is it so? Maybe. Indeed, just a month ago, the US National Archives declassified documents from 1956, where it is confirmed that the development of the "flying saucer" was carried out (its drawings were published on the site) as part of the "Project 1794". The Norwegian historian Gudrun Stensen believes that at least four Kammler flying discs were "captured" by the Soviet army at a factory in Breslau, but Stalin did not pay attention to the "plates" - he was only interested in a nuclear bomb. There are some rather exotic points of view regarding the purpose of Die Glocke.

This version is crazy
“Die Glocke was not a spacecraft,” says US writer Henry Stevens, author of Hitler's Weapons Are Still Secret! - He worked on red mercury - a special substance, and it gave a fantastic effect. Eyewitnesses of the experiments in the Wenceslas underground gave testimony to American intelligence, saying that the concave mirror in the upper part of the "Bell" during the tests made it possible to see past events in the life of the scientists present in the mine. It cannot be ruled out that this was an attempt … time travel to change the future in favor of the Nazis. I am aware of how crazy this version is, but at the end of the war, when Soviet troops approached Berlin, Hitler was ready to believe anything.
Polish special services refuse to confirm or deny Witkowski's research: the interrogation protocols of SS Gruppenfuehrer Sporrenberg have not yet been declassified. Meanwhile, Witkowski insists: Hans Kammler took the Bell to South America. Another researcher, British rocket scientist Nick Cook, said in his book: Die Glocke was moved to the United States, and that is why the Americans made such a powerful leap forward in physics and rocketry. Thus, we will not soon learn the truth about the "miracle weapon" of the Third Reich. If, of course, we find out at all …
What was taken from the Nazis?
TV
The first TV sets (of the modification that later received further development) were presented in 1938 at an exhibition in Berlin.
Laser
Development began in the Reich in 1934: a week (!) Before the end of the war, a "laser beam" apparatus was created, capable of dazzling enemy air force pilots.
Helicopter
In 1942, Germany hosted secret tests of the world's first miniature helicopter, the Hummingbird. However, it was not launched into wide production.
Mobile phone
Hans Kammler's office in Pilsen, among dozens of other projects since February 1945, has been developing a "miniature portable communication device". As historian Gudrun Stensen states, “It is likely that without the blueprints from Kammler Center, there would be no iPhone. And it would take at least 100 years to create an ordinary mobile phone."
