#1 The Battle of the Bulge was the last large German offensive of World War II, and the German Reich was already finished. But General George S. Patton wrote a remark in his war diary on January 4, 1945, that the war could still be lost.

#2 The Nazi atom bomb is the hidden logic behind the operational plans of both sides late in the war, and it is very likely the hidden operational logic behind the otherwise militarily indefensible German offensive in the Ardennes.

#3 There was more to German rocketry than just lobbing short-ranged V-1s and V-2s on London and other western European cities. Some long range prototype may have already been tested.

#4 The SHAEF forecast, which was based on the date of Germany’s capitulation in 1944, strongly influenced the planning in Washington and in this theater. With the exception of a few modifications and improvements in the U. S. Air Forces, their weapons and tactics are still the same as they were in 1942.

#1

The Battle of the Bulge was the last large German offensive of World War II, and the German Reich was already finished. But General George S. Patton wrote a remark in his war diary on January 4, 1945, that the war could still be lost.

#2

The Nazi atom bomb is the hidden logic behind the operational plans of both sides late in the war, and it is very likely the hidden operational logic behind the otherwise militarily indefensible German offensive in the Ardennes.

#3

There was more to German rocketry than just lobbing short-ranged V-1s and V-2s on London and other western European cities. Some long range prototype may have already been tested.

#4

The SHAEF forecast, which was based on the date of Germany’s capitulation in 1944, strongly influenced the planning in Washington and in this theater. With the exception of a few modifications and improvements in the U. S. Air Forces, their weapons and tactics are still the same as they were in 1942.

#5

The war has not ended according to SHAEF plans. The first cycle and period of the war has ended without the capitulation of Germany, and with Germany leading in the development of principal new weapons and methods that will be included in her capabilities in 1945.

#6

The American intelligence teams, who had been collecting Nazi documents and technology, transferred some 110,000 tons of scientific papers to a center in the United States. They were then processed and disseminated to the interested agencies of the US government.

#7

The Americans’ rapid drive toward the Skoda Works at Pilsen in Czechoslovakia and similar Allied thrusts toward the Harz Mountain SS installations in Thuringia were guided by an extremely high level of precision. They were receiving inside information that came from an equally high level within the Third Reich.

#8

The Type XXI was a submarine that was capable of traveling underwater at a speed of 17. 2 knots. It was the first modern submarine, and it was designed to do most of its traveling under water. Its captain would not even have to see his target to fire torpedos at it.

#9

The German Luftwaffe developed a vertical take-off and landing jet airplane called the Focke Wulfe Triebflügel. It was a viable solution because there was no need to try to take off or land on bombed and cratered airfield runways.

#10

The American military also seized the only helicopter in the world, and its inventor and his entire staff were brought to America. The post-war Polish Communist government knew so much about the helicopter’s performance because it had spies within the American program.

#11

The P13b was a German plane that was designed to break the sound barrier. The fact that it was cheap, impervious to Allied radar, and utterly beyond the performance capabilities of the proto-type British and American jet fighters only just beginning to be tested, meant that it would have been a revolution in aerial warfare.

#12

There were rumors that the German Army had used a weapon of enormous destructive power on Russian military targets. These were most likely fuel-air bombs, a device that the Germans had brought to large capability by the end of the war.

#13

The Russian government has recently revealed that its casualties during the war were far higher than anyone had previously imagined. Operationally competent as the German Army was during World War Two, the fantastic kill ratios it achieved on the Eastern Front could only have been due to the assistance of unconventional weaponry.

#14

The Nazis were also working on exotic Tesla technology at the University of Heidelberg, which was used to disintegrate targets some meters away with high voltage pulses.

#15

Some reports say that Wright Patterson Air Force Base is home to a collection of aliens and Nazis. It is also where the Americans developed the rocket launchers that were used to destroy the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

#16

After the war, the British War Office revealed that Hitler wanted the moon. This was just one of many post-war disclosures that pointed to Nazi Germany’s advanced rocket technology.

#17

The first two components of the Allied Legend are questioned: that America got the crème de la crème of German rocket scientists, and that the Germans were incompetent bunglers when it came to nuclear
