In Kaliningrad, the author of one of the most popular local television programs, historian Sergei Trifonov, is known to everyone. Or almost everything. The reason for such an unusual popularity is in the non-standard scientific orientation of the researcher. Trifonov devoted his life to the study of extraordinary phenomena in the life of Konigsberg-Kaliningrad and events that go beyond the generally accepted norms. Rituals for Initiates Among the historian's research, a special place is occupied by the study of documents and facts related to the activities of the secret laboratory Königsberg-13 during the Third Reich. The scientific developments of this unit were personally controlled by the Gauleiter of East Prussia, Erich Koch, and a narrow circle of insiders knew about the existence of the laboratory. “The fact is that the consciousness of Hitler and his associates was largely susceptible to hoaxes,” says Sergei Trifonov.“They believed in demonology, pagan rituals. An example of this is the loud names of units - Werewolves, Dead Head. The Nazis were sensitive to everything occult, scrupulously used ancient letters and symbols. In my collection there are photographs of more than eighty thousand signs of masters and runes, prints on bricks of wolf paws and children's palms collected on this earth. The famous SS emblem, two lightning bolts - sig runes, meant doubled energy. There is numerous documentary evidence that the runic warriors, or as Koch very often called them, the black initiates, took part in the old Teutonic rites. For example, collectively, in whole companies, they made incisions in the hands with fragments of red tiles. This symbolized their inflexibility in the fight against the enemy and the eternity of the genus. Therefore, the idea of organizing such a laboratory was hatched in the heads of the leaders of the Third Reich. - What did the secret laboratory do? The created unit had two tasks. The first is the study of ancient metaphysical disciplines, astrology, magic, hypnosis, various cults, fetishes. The second, the most profound and promising is the development of the eastern concept of psychotropic weapons based on the research obtained. Churchill and the sorcerer - Is it known exactly when this laboratory was organized? - Even by a miracle, we did not save the remaining documents, but sent them overseas as unnecessary - we exchanged the laboratory archive with the Americans for machines and other trophy iron. By the way, the Americans made dozens of documentaries based on these materials. Therefore, I cannot say exactly when this laboratory was organized. The degree of secrecy of the object was so high that in the city itself they began to guess about its existence only during the war. In the diary of one of the Königsbergers there is an entry dated July 1943: walking in the evening on the Kneiphof island, he met Buddhist monks in white and red robes. If we talk about the beginning of the laboratory's activities, then some very interesting facts emerge long before the beginning of the Second World War. So in 1929, when Hitler was just coming to power, some German journalists allowed themselves to openly mock the future Fuhrer of the Third Reich. During his visit to East Prussia, Hitler caught a cold, hoarse, and the speech he gave at the Stathhalle was not a success. The Nazi leader concluded his speech with a pathetic phrase: I came to take Konigsberg!One of the local journalists very maliciously and sarcastically ridiculed the hoarse orator who dreamed of winning the hearts of the inhabitants of East Prussia. A few days later, a charming young man appeared in the editorial office. As a sign of his deep location, the man presented a chocolate bar to the journalist and left. It was time for lunch, and when the staff of the publishing house went downstairs to the cafeteria, everyone present witnessed a terrible scene. The journalist unrolled the chocolate and began to bite off the bar. There was a crunch of broken glass, unnatural for chocolate. Blood gushed from her mouth, but the distraught girl continued to frantically bite the glass plate. The next day, a neat note was found on the desk in the editorial office: Give him the city! It can be assumedthat the Nazis, even before coming to power, hatched plans to influence their opponents with the help of hypnosis. - Who besides the Germans was serious about this kind of research? - Almost everyone except us. It is known for certain that in the fall of 1940, Winston Churchill discussed at the military department how to use witchcraft knowledge. There is also information that in the forty-second prime minister of Great Britain it was reported that Konigsberg sorcerers were working with his stuffed animal. In any case, this hypothesis explains the seething hatred of the British for this city, and the use of napalm bombs against Konigsberg in August 1944. Then, during massive air raids, the city was simply razed to the ground. But the four buildings where the laboratory was located survived the bombing, despite the factthat the nearby Cathedral was in ruins. They were destroyed much later, during the assault of Konigsberg by Soviet troops. Far Away State - Was the place where the laboratory was created in Konigsberg, in your opinion, chosen by chance? - In my ardent conviction, quite consciously. From the moment of its foundation, Koenigsberg was considered a city of unique mystical mysteries and paradoxes. Even the city owes its location to a sign from above. Initially, the Teutons, who enslaved the Prussians, planned to establish the capital of their order two hundred kilometers to the east, on the Neman River. But during the halt of the knights on the pagan temple on the mountain, which later became known as the Royal, a solar eclipse happened. The masters who headed the order regarded this phenomenon as a finger of God and did not dare to contradict it. As for the laboratory,it was not by chance that its name was chosen. The number thirteen is significant for Koenigsberg. All more or less significant events in the life of the city are associated with the devil's dozen or multiples of it. Even the number of columns on the grave of the most famous Königsberg - Immanuel Kant is thirteen, despite the total desire of the Germans for symmetry. Otto Läsch signed the act of surrender of the city in his office No. 13. By the way, if you sum up the numbers of the founding date of Konigsberg (1255), you will also get thirteen. Ironically, only two large cities in Europe - Berlin and Moscow - get the same result when added. Maybe this fatal arithmetic caused the eternal dispute between two capitals for the right to own the third? By the way, in our days the number thirteen accompanies the city in everything. One interesting detail,on the license plates of cars we are designated as the thirty-ninth region. Remember grandma's tales? In a certain kingdom, in a distant state … - For me, like any other normal person, it is always difficult to believe in the predictions of the prophets and sorcerers, who could not accurately predict their fate. - The most interesting thing is that in this respect the laboratory has fully fulfilled its function, or rather one of its outstanding specialists. For which he paid. Even before the Nazis came to power, the name of the clairvoyant Hans Schurr was a great success in Germany. The astrologer gave his prediction about the death of the Third Reich in the early forties. Moreover, Hans Schurr predicted exactly that Königsberg would fall in three days in April in the forty-fifth year. Then the clairvoyant was not believed. Considering that the prophecies of Shurr diverge from the quatrains of Nostradamus, they tried to forget about them. When our troops approached Konigsberg in March, Hans Schurr was executed for an unfortunate prediction. A medallion with runic signs was torn from his body, which has survived to this day. - Did Nostradamus actually lose in this correspondence dispute? - Not. Both astrologers prophesied the same thing. It's just that the symbols of Nostradamus were misunderstood. Although he predicted everything quite accurately. Another thing is what everyone wanted to hear or see in these prophecies. In the west of Europe, a child will be born of poor parents, he will seduce a great army with his tongue, a noisy rage will spread to the kingdoms of the East. What's wrong here? - Have you found a practical application for the research of the Konigsberg-13 laboratory? - I can't say with certainty now whether the Nazis could have created a weapon of mass destruction of a psychotropic nature,but the intellectual potential of this institution was very high. I have no doubt that some of the knowledge and talents of the laboratory staff were actively used in any local operations. But I will not argue that in one case laboratory specialists worked here, and in the other someone became a victim of a fatal accident. I’m still a researcher, not a psychic!
