Nazi UFOs tells the strange tale of how, following the first alleged flying saucer sightings made in the USA in 1947, a series of fantasists and neo-fascists came forward to create a media myth that the Nazis may have invented these incredible craft as a means for winning the Second World War, a plan which was tantalisingly close to completion before the Allies conquered Berlin in 1945.
Today, the fantasy of Nazi UFOs has grown into an entire mythology in books, on TV and online. Did Germany back-engineer anti-gravity craft, and even a full-blown time-machine, by stripping technology from a crashed alien saucer? Did the SS secretly invent ‘Green’ technology for use in their star ship engines, and was this planet-saving discovery later suppressed at the behest of a sinister Big Oil conspiracy? Did Himmler try to develop ‘lightning weapons’ for use in aerial combat?
By contrasting the fake military-industrial pseudo-histories of Nazi UFO theorists with details of real-life Nazi aerospace achievements, the author demonstrates both how this modern-day mythology came about and how it cannot possibly be more than fractionally true. For the first time, this fake ‘alternative military history’ is laid out in full.
This book features an appealing cast of con-men and spies, complete madmen, real-life Nazis and completely made-up ones, operating right across the globe from South America to wartime Europe and Japan. A good example may be the ‘mad professor’, Viktor Schauberger, who actually genuinely did manage to gain a personal audience with Adolf Hitler in order to try and convince him that he had discovered and then exploited some amazing new source of natural ‘free energy’ which could make objects (such as saucers, in the opinion of some) float. Hitler dismissed his plan, but it does nonetheless show how close some bizarre schemes came to being implemented in Nazi Germany.

Despite being the most horrifying period of the 20th century and the most embarrassing and terrible in known human history, the Nazi regime collected and progressed science, aviation, and physics to new levels, with the vast knowledge base, best-trained scientists, and funds, the Nazi regime was able to design and produce most advanced flying machines for the period, which puzzled and up until today mesmerize by their advanced techniques and capabilities. the work presents all the heights and advancements the regime was able to make and create bases for the aerospace development we have today.
Author S D Tucker investigates some of the facts and the "fake news" about the questionable origins of the technology employed by the Nazis as they strove for supremacy over the allied weaponry. This is hugely fascinating!

I vaguely knew the myth, but this book provided so much more than I expected and I loved it from start to finish.

I have seen programs on cable about Nazi flying saucers so this was a perfect story to read. The book starts with a very interesting tale of a scam artist in the Eastern parts of the US trying to get money for the new fourth reich. People actually fell for it but the story goes on to be an example of the war of fake news and real news that went on after the Germans were defeated. This book has an explanation for the saucers that is very plausible after the examples of the hysteria over Hitler maybe being still alive. I don't want to ruin the explanation but the math and the science maybe was there for German flying craft of an unbelievable origin . Excellent and interesting look at the Bell and other possible Nazi craft.

In today’s world, science itself, which we are constantly being told is a neutral vehicle for wholly objective ideas and theories, is increasingly being hijacked and abused by the toxic modern cult of identity politics, of both left and right. But should we be too surprised by any of this? No, because this exact same sorry process has happened time and again before, under the rule of totalitarian political cults like the Nazis and the Soviets, both of which vigorously promoted various pseudoscientific theories of ‘Aryan Science’ and ‘Marxist Science’ on the sole grounds that they were…
