Much has been written about the numerous experiments carried out by Nazi Germany during the Second World War. In particular, a lot is known about technical experiments and attempts to create new weapons. However, the fact that the engineers of the Third Reich tried to "outrun" even aliens is an amazing story
On February 14, 1945, a disk-shaped flying machine soared into the sky over occupied Czechoslovakia at a speed of 2000 km / h, which within three minutes reached an altitude of 12,400 meters. At first glance, such information seems absurd, nevertheless, it was she who appeared in 1958 in the book "German secret weapons of the Second World War", written by a mysterious figure named Rudolf Lusar.
“This information was first published in Germany, and then in England and Western Europe. Lusar's book contained only a few paragraphs devoted to flying saucers, but on their basis a whole legend arose about their existence, how they looked, and so on. However, this information is cited to this day, because it was then that this legend was born. Before that, several articles on the same topic appeared in magazines, but interest in it arose only after the book was published,”says writer and publicist Jan A. Novak.
Actually, this legend penetrated into Czechoslovakia in the same 50s through the magazine "Science and Technology", where information was presented, rather, in a critical manner. Nevertheless, the topic aroused keen interest, since it concerned directly Czechoslovakia, where, in fact, according to the information, flying saucers were designed at the airlines, which at that time were already operating here several.
“The tests of the saucers were to be carried out in Prague, and Lusar's book states that the first test flight of the flying saucer was supposed to take place, by a strange coincidence, on the day of the first American raid on Prague. So, many in Czechoslovakia were extremely interested in this information, and their research continues to this day.
And yet, if such information emerged, there must have been some eyewitness evidence. As Mr. Novak told us, there were indeed eyewitness accounts. They even appeared on the very authoritative television channel Discovery, where a certain German designer Andreas Epp claimed that during the Second World War he himself participated in the design of such objects, and subsequently came to Prague, where he saw them with his own eyes.
“The following testimonies were also heard in a TV program, where Czech editors also spoke, who claimed to have seen flying saucers in the sky over the then Kbeli airport. The question remains how serious this evidence is, and how responsibly people were able to evaluate what they saw. The descriptions say that they saw a disc-shaped flying object, with a transparent cockpit on top, in which people were sitting."
Despite the fact that no documentary evidence or drawings that would speak of the real existence of flying saucers have not yet been discovered, nevertheless, there are several facts that could determine the emergence of this legend. Even before the start of the Second World War, in the 1930s, a model of the AS6 aircraft with round wings was actually being developed in Germany, which was jokingly called the "flying beer mug". However, it was an ordinary plane with no supernatural properties.

“In Germany during the Second World War, the idea arose of creating a special machine that looked like a helicopter, where the propeller was driven by jet engines. In simplified terms, it was a helicopter with a cockpit in the middle, where the blades above the cockpit were driven by jet engines,”continues Jan A. Novak.
Another circumstance that could provoke the appearance of such information was that after the Second World War, a wave of UFO enthusiasm began. The first "evidence" began to appear that people observed unidentified flying objects that arrived from space and the like. However, it is interesting that the people mentioned in connection with the construction of German flying saucers were actually historical figures, some of whom subsequently emigrated to the West and tried to create similar objects there.
The development team was led by four designers - Richard Mitche, Klaus Habermole, Rudolf Schriever and Giuseppe Belluzzo. After the war, Klaus Habermohl was captured by the Soviet army and worked for the Soviet Union. Rudolf Schriever emigrated to America, then returned to Germany. But Klaus Habermohl after the war continued to develop a flying object in Canada.
“In Canada, he developed a flying saucer model for the Canadian company AV Roe (Avro), which was called the VZ-9 Avrocar. However, it is said that she did not achieve the desired results and the program was stopped. But alternative sources say the program was transferred to the US. It is also said that the trick with the saucer test stories was to divert attention away from the real flying saucers."
As a rule, the most convincing evidence of the existence of such things is blueprints or plans for their creation. However, according to Jan A. Novak, nothing of the kind was found, and what appeared in various encyclopedias on ufology looks so crazy that even a child would not believe it.
According to the publicist, the emergence of these hoaxes was most likely associated with the diversion of attention from testing a really serious weapon. It is also alarming that the first tests, even if they were carried out, date back to February 1945, when things were already heading towards the end of the war, of course, not in favor of Nazi Germany. Did the German army then have the opportunity to conduct any weapon tests?
“In all likelihood, there was such an opportunity. The protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia was not affected by hostilities, and relative calm reigned here. In addition, the aircraft industry in Czechoslovakia functioned quite intensively. There were at least three airlines in Prague alone. Another rocket development laboratory was located in Pribrami.
Near Sedlchan there was a space equipped for SS activities, which was sold to the Reich protectorate. There were only Germans, and what happened there is still a mystery. On the border of this territory is the town of Štechowice, where, according to some guesses, the so-called Štekhovitsky treasure may be located. Some believe that somewhere underground there may be plans or even parts of these flying saucers."
Not far from Štekhovice there is a railway line, the so-called Posazavsky pacific. It passes through several tunnels, and during the war, weapons were actually produced there. Perhaps it is these places that hide the secret of the flying saucers created for the Third Reich, which could change the outcome of the Second World War.
