across the Atlantic at phenomenal speeds, but to ferry the founder members of the super-race into the Underworld for safety and, for an ulterior motive prejudicial to homo sapiens, to liaise with the entities which inhabit it.

The transfer of the German gold reserves and thousands of scientific technicians to South America at the end of the war, and the huge number of UFOs reported over Argentina and Chile since, has accordingly given birth to the suspicion amongst many that some modern UFO sightings are of the new generation of Reichsdeutsche flying saucers.

According to the Tibetan prophecies, the final battle for control of the world known to us as Armageddon will occur in a specific year which can be calculated forward from the invasion of Tibet by the Younghusband Expedition. After this final battle the new race will take over.

This is the sense, so it occurs to me, in which one must interpret Hitler’s incomprehensible prediction when, having renounced use of the miracle weapon and staring defeat fully in the face in 1945, he forecast that, despite everything, “The last battalion will be a German battalion!”

APPENDIX

The German Small Scale Atom Bomb

The bomb design was similar to Heisenberg’s B-III experiment at Berlin-Dahlem in early 1942 which involved alternating layers of uranium powder and paraffin inside an aluminium sphere. The neutron source was a radium-beryllium preparation dropped into the centre of the apparatus by way of a chimney.

The laboratory-built device in the diagram would have given a low-yield atomic explosion when compressed uniformly at Mach 3.5 if the uranium powder had been enriched with plutonium by leaving it to breed in a sub-reactor for some months.

That seems to have been the purpose of Heisenberg’s experiment at Leipzig commencing 2 June 1942. The bomb would be about two feet in diameter. The paraffin prevented the premature fission of the material caused by the energetic Pu240 isotopes.

Tests to prove the reaction probably using a lead-jacketed bomb were almost certainly carried out in the Baltic and in Norway during late 1944. These would have had almost negligible fallout and no significant blast. Hitler was against using the atom bomb operationally on doctrinal grounds.

Heisenberg’s bomb

The Leipzig Experiment starting on 2 June 1942 had an outer aluminium sphere 740 mms in diameter filled with 750 kgs uranium metal powder. A concentric inner sphere contained 220 litres heavy water. A radium-beryllium neutron source was introduced through a central chimney to begin the reaction.

The neutrons from the centre were slowed on passing through the heavy water before radiating into the uranium powder where they fissioned U235 isotopes to release more neutrons or combined with U238 resonances to form plutonium. Left to work for several months this is a subtle means of uranium enrichment and plutonium production. The irradiated powder, assembled in alternate layers with paraffin in a spherical casing, would then serve as a low-yield atom bomb if detonated with an effective implosion fuse.

Goudsmit’s Version of Heisenberg’s Bomb

From his book Alsos - The Failure in German Science published in 1947, Professor Goudsmit provided this sketch of what he suspected was the German atom bomb. Above is a drawing from a photograph of the experimental assembly “which they believed could make a bomb” and (right) a diagram of the “experimental bomb” which consisted of layers of uranium and paraffin. Goudsmit might have been joking, but he was right. What he may have been hinting was that (1) if the plutonium-enriched U-powder is layered with paraffin in the top hemisphere and the lower hemisphere filled with iron ballast and (2) fitted as the warhead in a V-2 rocket, the speed of impact replaces the tons of HE to detonate the weapon. The paraffin disperses and the fissile material smashes into the ballast to form a non-symmetrical critical mass resulting in a small “fizzle” explosion with meltdown and fallout.

The German Flying Saucer

During the spate of UFO sightings over the US in midsummer 1947, a flying crescent was often seen. It was suspected by USAF Intelligence to be man-made and of German origin. A declassified secret report identified it as approximating the 1942 designed Ho VI Parabola, the plan form of which is shown here. Reimar Horten disappeared to Argentina at the war’s end.

2. Burrowed into the chalky rock of the Kohnstein mountain, and originally designed as a chemical storage facility, Nordhausen comprised of two parallel tunnels 2½ kilometres long, 200 metres apart and wide enough for a double railway track in each, with 46 connecting chambers. A third tunnel at the level of the eighteenth chamber ran at a right angle to the main corridors. Floor area amounted to 125,000 square metres. The available space was million cubic metres. Heating was maintained at 17°C with low humidity. All corridors and chambers were equipped with strong electric lighting.

3. Needless to say, the conditions for the prisoners at SS-Mittelwerk were barbarous. Initially the mortality rate was 15%, although admittedly this was better than the 84% rate at Auschwitz for forced labourers. When Wernher von Braun visited the tunnels in January 1944, where he saw 10,000 inmates at labour, he walked the corridors in silence and left despondent. Following the intercession of Speer in the wake of a visit in December 1944, food and living conditions improved beyond measure and the prisoners were eventually lodged in barracks outside the caves. Hitler’s Luftwaffe ADC von Below stated in At Hitler’s Side, Greenhill Books, 2001, that when he visited in January 1945 “the prisoners seemed well-treated and were in good physical condition
