I can say with certainty that advanced research, production and flight testing were definitely going on during World War II of these circular flying craft, some which could reach incredible heights very quickly and obtain high speeds in horizontal flight – well in excess of the speed of sound. Nobody ever told me about a secret project code-named “Base 211”, although some, who were aircraft engineers – one attached to Hermann Göring’s Reichs-Luftfahrtministerium, was personally present when one of those circular crafts, being tethered to a concrete floor of a large aircraft hangar and propulsion-tested in Wiener Neustadt, Austria, broke its moorings and shot through the ceiling, damaging it and the aircraft severely.

Seriously, I personally corresponded with and interviewed some of the German UFO researchers in the 1960s still alive then, including Rudolf Lusar, post-war Germany’s most famous author on German secret weapons in World War II. Had my enemies left me alone, who knows what flights of fancy might I have indulged in instead? This political derailing of my life caused me to become a serious activist and made me dedicate my life to clearing of my people’s and country’s reputation by debunking an untrue accusation. I believe I can claim at least some familiarity with the UFO topic, having authored and published some small booklets on Nazi UFOs in the late ’60s and early ’70s – before I was forced by Germany’s enemies to tackle, which put an end to my youthful fascination and explorations of the esoteric. Nonetheless, the goofy essay merits comment.


There is also the usual misspelling of names, incomplete titles etc., and one wonders what original sources the authors consulted for this rather incredible tale. The article gives one an insight into the state of the mind of at least a segment of the Russian reading public when one sees newspaper stories of this type, which mix pure speculation, propaganda tales of World War II, and weird, far-fetched occult themes with the serious side of cutting edge technology.
