About this ebook
Much has been written about the alleged existence of Nazi flying saucers or disk-shaped flying machines from World War II, however, despite claims of a few would-be obscure former Nazi aviation designers from about mid-1947 and on, there are no original first-hand historical accounts or documents to support these claims. The closest aircraft to fit these descriptions is the Sack AS 6 V1, by a farmer and model builder/flier Arthur Sack, whose AS 6 and Sack himself disappeared completely in 1945. Enjoy reading and viewing the rare photographs about the truth about Nazi Germany's' "Flying Saucers". Written by David Myhra, PhD and Published by Robert at RCW Technology & Ebook Publishing.

David Myhra, PhD, has written more than 100+ books and Ebooks on World War Two German flying machines, both proposed and built, pre and post war and their designers, than anyone living or dead, along with the VTOLs (Vertical Takeoff and Landing). He has researched and interviewed the German scientists that were captured and taken to the Soviet Union and forced to work on the supersonic DFS 346. He has interviewed dozens of former German aviation designers and gas turbine rocket scientists throughout the 1980's in places such as West Germany, East Germany, France, USA, South America and other countries. He was also involved in the production of numerous TV documentaries such as the History Channel’s 2005 “Nazi Plan to Bomb New York” and the National Geographic TV Channel’s 2009 documentary “Hitler’s Stealth Fighter” which featured the building of a full-scale replica of the Horten Ho 229 V3 by the Northrop Corporation and its radar cross section (RCS) testing at their classified radar test range in the California Mojave Desert.

The circular shape and aerodynamics have never gotten along well together - Justo Miranda
Much has been written about the alleged existence of Nazi flying saucers or disc shaped flying machines from World War Two. However, despite claims of a few would-be obscure former Nazi aviation designers from about mid-1947 and on, there are no original first-hand historical accounts and documents describing the development of saucer-shaped aircraft by Nazi Germany. No Germans from that era has come forth such as draftsmen, engineers, test pilots, even ground crew people. Champions of these saucers existence say that most documents and blueprints were either destroyed by the Nazis themselves prior to war’s end in Europe on May 8th 1945, or captured by the Allies (including the former USSR) post war and kept secret from the general public due to their extreme strategic importance. Investigation into locating possible undisputable sources is still ongoing. Welcome to the German circular winged low-aspect ratio short take-off and landing (STOL) light plane...farmer and scale aero-model hobbyist Arthur Sack’s single Argus AS 10C-3 piston aero engine of 240 horsepower circular wing AS 6 V-1 of 1943/1944. The AS 6 V1 disc is being alleged by those who believe in UFOs to be the mother of all Nazi Germany saucer or disc-shaped flying machines produced and flown during the war. Was it? Of course not. Yet UFO believers would like us to believe that the Sack AS 6 V1 with its 240 horsepower aero engine spinning a two bladed wooden propeller would have made itself a worthy opponent to the best of the Allied fighters such as the 1,650 hp North American P-51D Mustangs, the 2,000 hp Republic Aviation P-47B Thunderbolts, and the UK=s fearsome Super marine Spitfires. Amazing speculation and quite unlikely.
Just what was this Sack AS 6 V1? We’ll review the few available facts of this single piston engine, wooden, circular winged flying machine, its designer, design, construction, and failed its flight testing at the Luftwaffe’s Flugplatz Brandis. Flight testing began in late1944 and into early 1945. Despite numerous attempts by seasoned test pilots, they could not get the AS 6 V1 to lift off the runway and get airborne. Another thing is certain. At war’s end on May 8th 1945, all traces of Arthur Sack’s saucer or disc-shaped AS 6 V-1 had disappeared from Brandis...completely vanished as well as the designer himself. Post war Arthur Sack’s whereabouts continued to be unknown and he was never heard from again until his alleged death in 1963, at age 63 years.

1 - Introduction
The first claim of any Nazi German circular winged or flying saucers’ existence really did not began with Arthur Sack’s (1900-1963) AS 6 V1, but in late 1947, and then continuing throughout the 1950s. All talk of Nazi circular winged aircraft started immediately after American civilian pilot businessman Kenneth Arnold (1915-1984) reported seeing a formation of nine ultra-fast (parabolic or crescent-shaped) unidentified flying objects (UFOs) on June 24th 1947, as he piloted his Call Air A-2, single engine light plane in the area of Mount Rainier in Washington State. He stated that these highly unusual aircraft he witnessed that day were boomeranged-shaped…not circular…and flew perfectly silently in a formation similar to that of a tail on a kite. He estimated their speed to 1,243 miles per hour [2,000 km/h]. Shortly after Arnold viewed these multiple objects grouped together in a diagonally stepped down echelon formation several individuals in Europe came forward publically claiming that they had been involved in the research, design, construction, and flight testing of piloted prototype Nazi German circular or disc-shaped flying machines. Furthermore, they asserted that what pilot Arnold witnessed in late June of 1947, were more modern examples of their war-time saucer-shaped designs...flying machines they designed and were test flown prior to Nazi Germany’s surrender on May 8, 1945. We are not talking here about those so-called Foo Fighters
bomber pilots saw at night or strange spinning, pulsating red/orange/crimson colored balls/globes of light winking off and on at night, too, seen by Allied fighter and bomber pilots. No. We are talking about those supposed Nazi flying saucers, usually with typical circular winged aircraft, some gas turbine powered driving counter-rotating vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) fans, as well as and several powered by exotic gravity-defying devices. These Nazi discs were purported to have awe-inspiring flying abilities and came in diameters ranging from 52 feet, 137 feet, and 246 feet (16 meters, 42 meters, and 75 meters). The individuals said to be the source for these super aviation designs with their exotic engineering including uranium motors were completely unknown to the established Nazi German aviation design community as well as those within the Luftwaffe. The boss of all this anti-gravity devices was said to be Himmler’s chief engineer Dr. Ing. SS Obergrupenfhuhrer (Lieutenant General of the Waffen-SS) Hans Heinz Kammler (August 1901 to April 1945?) who among other duties was put in charge of the V-2 project after Peenemunde’s destructive bombing beginning in August 1943, and constructing facilities for secret aviation related projects.
Alleged designers of Nazi Germany’s saucer-shaped flying machines working under Kammler usually include Rudolph Schriever, Klaus Habermohl, Walter Richard Miethe, and the Italian engineering Professor Giuseppe Bellonzo. There is no evidence that Arthur Sack’s AS 6 V-1 crude circular wing project was ever part of the secret aircraft projects overseen by the evil genius Hans Kammler with a doctorate in civil engineering or those of the so-called Nazi phenomenon. SS General Hans Kammler’s body was never found post war nor were there any Kammler Sightings
