 Good for scratching that conspiracy theory itch September 9, 2008

While some people may have negative reviews of this book, I can empathise a little, sure this book does not provide empirical evidence of what really happened in the Third Reich. It does provide some glimpses at possibilities and does it's best in citing sources that may give some credibility. It simply presents what little information there is available on some incredible ideas.
Of course some readers may be annoyed that their appetite has been whetted with nothing to follow through with. It's hard to rule out the possibilities that the book suggests, since these things could have certainly been destroyed or hidden.
If what this book is true, then it paints a picture of a Germany that could have won the war through technological superiority if it were not for the inexperience and instability by Hitler in a military capacity.
I'd definitely recommend this book to others.

In my years of researching on scientific esoterism, I had been constantly stymied by the reactionarism of traditional military technology scholars and their dogma that World War Two German scientists were unable to deliver on high-level research and development projects. There were times that I felt it would be impossible to ever learn what really caused some of the very odd actions that were undertaken by the Allied powers during 1945. Author Henry Stevens has now given me hope to continue on with my beliefs. His informatiive expose of the true facts surrounding the so-called "black" programs is a breath - no...a veritable windstorm - that cleanses one's mind of the dustiness of conventional thinking.
Within the covers of this unique tome, author Stevens provides the sort of documentation any clear-thinking individual would require to allow oneself to accept notions that have been - in all likelihood - suppressed since the end of the Second World War for reasons and motives that can only be imagined.
In reading through this book, it became apparent that I was not alone in having been mislead by those who seek to blind us to the truth about our world and the tenuous inter-relationship between what it is and what it was supposed to be. Upon completion of the treatises laid ut, I know that it has got to be all true. Otherwise, how could it have been written? I urge you to obtain this book and - as I did - wonder at why you were never able to comprehend the self-obvious trusims that lay behind the statements made here. How did we ever not believe that there were post-war nazi bases in Antartica that were attacked by Bush's minions under the cover of the assaults on Iraq? And, exactly how could we possibly beleive that the Manhattan Project was successful instead of the oh-so-certain reality that the ALSOS missions had no other purpose that wresting German-made bombs from their owners for use on Japan? These are but two of the revelations that await you in a book - the message of which was so important and urgent - that its author and publisher elected to reduce proof-reading time to get it into print.
Oh...one more thing...I was being sarcastic. This book is poorly written fiction. I wish I knew if the author is presenting it as that or whether he believes the stuff he writes.

Picture of the nazi atom bomb explosion on Ruegen island 1944 is worth the book alone. Lots of interesting info for people interested in secret weapons. Joesph Farrells books should be consulted for further reading.

I am a huge fan of these types of books. I truly believe that there are things that were developed by the Germans during WWII that the general public likely doesn't know about. I think this book does an OK job of passing along some interesting ideas about what those things were. All too often though, the "proof" of these weapons/materials is extremely thin. I think there were some that were no more than one German guy making reference to something in a debriefing after the war that necessitated a chapter. The argument for doing this is that the notes of these debriefings were sent up the chain of command and if there wasn't something to them then they would not have been passed along. To me, there needs to be more corroboration than that. I think the idea in the title is that this stuff is "still secret" should tell you something. Interesting read, but short on reasonable evidence of existence.

Let my first state that after reading this book I realized that I am just not that interested in rocket technology and weaponry. I found most of it tremendously boring. I shall, however, be as objective as possible in my review. But I did want to warn anyone like myself who is interested in Nazi esotericism and World War 2 history that this may not be as exciting for you as you might think based on the reviews.
So, here we go. This book contains a lot of well-researched (for the most part) history of secret Nazi weaponry. I have no doubt that much of it is true as we all know that Germans are the most intelligent people on the planet (ahem). What does strike me as strange is that most of these projects described somehow were started in 1944 (Did every German scientist working for the SS just happen to start these amazing war-winning projects in the same year?). Also it seems to me, from a strategic point of view, that there would be absolutely no point in not experimenting with their efficacy on the Allied invaders regardless of how complete the projects were. If Hitler killed himself (did he?) than surely shooting a rocket that might not work at the invaders would be no great loss. That simply does not make logical sense to me.
If you are a weaponry buff you will surely find this book fascinating. The author gives the reader valuable leads into investigating further on his own. He also reproduces many official Allied and German documents that lend credence to his claims. This book is just what it says it is. For that reason I give it four stars.
As an aside: If anyone from Adventures Unlimited Press reads this review I strongly suggest that you get an editor! I own many of your books and all of them have typos, grammatical errors and incorrect word usage. This was the worst I have ever read in that regard from your otherwise wonderful company. Contact me! I'll be glad to do it! But when an author uses a word like "conscious" instead of "conscience", as happened in this book, you really need someone to go back and fix it. Every page in this book has something like that. It detracts from the impact of the book.
