NAZI UFO'S


"The Nazi party had a secret flying disc already off of the drawing board and flying and it was capable of 1200 miles an hour. Vertical take-off, 90? changes, much like a helicopter, and of course was far superior to anything the Allies powers had at that time. Secondly they also had another craft about to be up and going it was capable of doing 2500 miles per hours, which was double the original. Not only did it have the characteristics of the original craft, but it also had a laser weapon aboard it which capable of penetrating four inches of armour. Needless to say that really spooked the allied forces into making a redemptive attempt against Von Braun and bringing him … into a state of capitulation." (1)
the RFZ UFO was always manned by the same person, LUTHER VEITZ, but it seemed to be not very safe, because during the tests it dropped a lot of times.
The US and Russion had both suggested that many of the UFO sightings after the second world war were actually quite possibily German Technogoly. Could Hitler have been behind the UFO phenomenon?

Nazi UFO Secret: Hitler's UFO Weapon

Welcome to Nazi UFO Secret .com - With this website we intend to look at and reveal all the known information about Hitlers UFO connections and the full story to the Nazi UFO secret and the possible connection to UFO sightings across the US and the rest of the world. Could these UFO sightings be nothing more then man made technology stolen from Nazi Germany at the end of the second world war?

Antartica Nazi UFO Bases

In 1950, Captain C. Moreno, commander of the Argentine ship Navy, wrote the following report:

"In 16 hours. 10 minutes. March 24 crew of our ship seen in the skies over the island into Antarctic Disepshn object that was neither aeroplanom nor the satellite, weather balloon and nor any of the famous aircraft."

In June and July 1950, followed by a series of observations UFOs in the sky by Chilean and Argentine Antarctic weather. The Brazilian newspaper O'Estado "in July 1950, reported looked like one of those UFOs:

"… The object was inswept form, its surface flow from red to green. Zigzag machine flying in a westerly direction, changing course several times and speed. The object remained stationary for about 20 minutes at an altitude of 5000 meters. Peredvigalsya it in full silence" .

In September 1950, Officer A. Orrego Chilean Navy photographed a very large object flying inswept form manoeuvre in the sky of the Chilean Antarctic.

"German submarines frequently appeared in the southern Atlantic. In 1942, Captain Gerlach archipelago Goug investigated as a possible base for radars and camps for prisoners. April 4, 1944 British submarine sunk the German submarine U-859. 47 crew members were killed, but 20 were saved. After 30 years one of the escaped told that the boat was a secret shipment of mercury. It is known that mercury is used for the production of certain fuels. Some light on the interest of Germans to Antarctica sheds statement commander of the German submarine fleet K. Denitsa, that "the German submarine fleet rebuilt in another part of the world in the impregnable fortress".

Just before the end of the WWII, two German provision U-boats, U-530 and U-977, were launched from a port on the Baltic Sea. Reportedly they took with them members of the antigravity-disk research and development teams [ULTRA], and the LAST of the most vital disc components [much of this technology and hardware had been transported to the base during the course of the war]. This included the notes and drawings for the latest saucer or aerial disk designs, and designs for the gigantic underground complexes and living accommodations based on the remarkable underground factories of Nordhausen in the Harz Mountains. The two U-boats duly reached the new land of Neu-Schwabenland where they unloaded everything. When they arrived in Argentina several months later, their crews were captured. It seems as if they were either counting on the formerly German-friendly Argentineans to allow them access, or it could have been that they intentionally allowed themselves to be discovered for misinformation purposes, i.e. -- "yes... we are the last two renegade German subs. We've been trying to hold out but...oops, you caught us... the war's finally over!"

More than one year after the surrendering of U977 the US NAVY launches the biggest military operation in the Antarctic ice under the command of Admiral Richard E. Byrd. This is the operation 'HIGHJUMP', including 13 ships, 1 aircraft carrier, 2 seaplane tenders, 6 two-engined R4D transports and 4000 men. The only official statement on the purpose of such a task force is the need for testing "new material under the extreme Antarctic conditions." The force starts up at the established US bases in the "ROSS SEA", then it moves up the western Antarctic coast heading toward the Northern Antarctic coast, 'NEUSCHWABENLAND' and building up a bridgehead on January 27th 1947 somewhere west of it. Officially the expedition is a big success because it delivers many new facts of the use of military equipment under extreme conditions. "-- What is the need of such a big task force in this area? IF the expedition was such a success, WHY did Byrd already return to the US in February 1947? The operation was planned and equipped for a full 6-8 month duration.

News:

According to leaked documents from archives, Nazi scientists were working on "The Rory Project" to develop 6 foot 6 android based blond haired males with pale white skin. It is not known if any prototypes were built as the lab was destroyed by air raid. Rumour has it though that one successful prototype was deployed.

July 2009 News
Hitler's Secret Weapon Unvieled

 Hitler's secret weapon that could have made Nazi bomber planes invisible to Allied forces has been unveiled for the first time.
The stealth fighter-bomber, named the Horten 229, closely resembles the US Air Force's current B2 bomber and was estimated to be about 20 years ahead of Germany's rivals in terms of stealth technology. But the Nazis didn't have time to put the "flying wing" into mass production before their surrender in 1945.American forces held onto the aircraft's prototypes and equipment — and the makers of the B2 Northrop Grumman Corp have now replicated the design for a documentary.

"This was the most advanced technology that the Germans had at the end of the war, and Northrop solved the question of how stealthy it was and its performance against Allied radar at the time," Fox News reported documentary maker Mike Jorgenson as saying.
"It's significantly better than anything flying operationally probably until the 1960s."
Researchers believe the Ho 229's stealth capabilities would have allowed it to appear invisible to British Royal Air Force radars if it were to fly a few dozen feet from ground level.

Me 262


The Me 262 was literally years ahead of fighters of other nations. That’s what the Allied engineers concluded after the war, when Me 264 units captured in Germany were brought back in their home countries. Studying the airframe and engines of this one-of-a-kind aircraft, the American, Russian and British experts developed more advanced jet engines and airframes, so that pilots could finally break the sound barrier over the ensuing years.
Hitler wanted this military aircraft to be a bomber, so it first went to combat as such. With limited load capacity, the Messerschmitt 262 had little impact on the advancing Allied divisions. Had it been used properly from the start (i.e. as a fighter), it might well have swept Allied bombers from the skies. The Me 262 really gave the German pilots and edge over the Allied since there was no equal airplane for them to fly.
From March 1944 to April 1945 (fall of the Third Reich), 1,433 Me 262 were produced.

Bf 109



As much as the Spitfire, the Bf 109 is one of the emblematic airplanes of World War 2 military aviation. This aircraft was the most common fighter of the Luftwaffe during the conflict. Light, fast and tough, this airplane will be remembered as one of the greatest prop interceptor ever built.

The Bf 109 prototype took off in September, 1935. It was the first airplane used in combat during the Civil War in Spain in 1937, with German pilots enrolled in the Condor legion. This allowed the German to test the aircraft possibilities, and so they were well prepared in 1939 at the outbreak of the Second World War.
In 1940, during the Battle of Britain, Bf 109s were used to escort German bombers. The German airplane was more agile than the British Hurricane but less than the Spitfire; this explains why in the end the British aviation prevailed.
Almost 35,000 units of the Bf 109 different versions were built, in Germany or other countries.

Fw-190

Admittedly, the Fw 190 is the best World War 2 German fighter plane. It was intended to replace the Messerschmitt Bf 109. When it first entered battle, during the summer of 1941, it would outclass the British Spitfire Mk.V. The threat was countered with the introduction of the Spitfire Mk.IX and the Typhoon.
The early versions of the Fw 190 would use the BMW 801as a powerplant. This was the first German radial engine to be used in a fighter. The engine showed a tendency to overheating – the cockpit temperature would sometimes exceed 50 °C. But the plane was the fastest and could turn on a dime, making it the most dangerous fighter when it appeared.
The design of this military aircraft also made it a good fit for ground attack, and it was used as such on the East front and in North Africa. From 1942 on, it also was the most extensively used fighter plane to intercept allied bombers flying over Germany and occupied european countries.
In 1943, the radial engines were replaced with piston engines that were more powerful. This made the fuselage longer, hence the nickname "Long Nose" given to the new Fw 190s by the Allies. These new engines rendered the aircraft even more performing. This version’s cockpit was pressurized.
The latest versions of the Fw 190 could reach 755 Km/h (472 mph).

"THE POWERFULL TANKS"

REQUEST FROM DIKA

Tank pertama kali dibuat oleh seorang inggris bernama Sir Ernest Swinston tahun 1914.Tetapi,pada perang dunia 2 jermanlah yang memegang gelar "PANZER" karena begitu kuat dan hebatnya tank-tank jerman seperti 'tiger tank' , 'king tiger tank' , dan 'panzer tank'.Bahkan tank andalan Amerika yaitu 'sherman tank'pun tak mampu menghadapi kendaraan para kesatria Hitler tersebut.Hitler sebagai pemimpin partai NAZI pun selalu berkata "saya kuat di daratan,tapi saya pengecut di lautan" karena ia tahu betapa kuatnya tank-tank miliknya.
Namun,sekuat apapun tank,bila ada pemburu seperti "P-47D Thunderbolt" dan "Hawker Typhoon" alias "sipemburu tank" maka tidak ada apa-apanya tank-tank sekuat jerman

Galeri "German Tiger Tank"

Early model An early production model, spring 1943 in Kursk. Note the rather tall commander's cupola and the top opening hatches which were characteristics of the early production tanks. Spare track links were carried in the front of the tank's hull.

Thumbnail photo Another frontal shot of an early production model. Smoke dischargers are also visible on the turret sides. The commander's cupola used bulletproof glass which severely limited visibility from within the fighting compartment.

Thumbnail photo A unit being transported on rails. These war monsters needed two sets of tracks; one for transporation and one for combat. The combat tracks are rolled up in front during rail transportation and had to be outfitted again during unloading.

Thumbnail picture This is a mid production tank #319. The commander's cupola has been shortened with the bulletproof glass now replaced with seven periscopes. The hatch now swivels to the side. The rubber rimmed wheels are still retained in the mid production, but the outer wheels are often removed. Smoke dischargers were also discontinued in the mid production series.

Thumbnail picture Unit number 111 crossing a bridge in Tunisia, December 1943. The bridge was named after Major Loewe, the panzer commander of PzAbt.501 who was later killed in action.

Thumbnail picture A battalion of Tigers being transported by rail. This is the early version model. Their combat tracks can be seen rolled up in front.

Late production A late production series. The rubber rimmed road wheels were replaced with steel wheels. The gun sight was also changed to a TZF9c monocular. Spare tracks were also carried on the turret sides from the mid-production onwards.

Thumbnail pic Lenigrad, 1943. A member of sPzAbt 502 advances on a road through a russian village. Pictured behind a Schwimwagen, this particular unit still uses the TZF9b binocular gun sight, clearly visible with the two holes on the left of the gun mantlet.

Thumbnail pic Tank number 131 of sPzAbt 101, Normandy, July 1944. A field applied camouflage of dark green and red brown over a base dark yellow was a common cammouflage pattern. In winter, some tanks carried a flat white wash brushed over the base color.

Colored Tiger Tank Same photo as above, but with digital color rendering. The original photo is black and white.

Thumbnail pics In this photo, German engineers change a Tiger's tracks from transport tracks to combat tracks. This was a tedious task frowned by the engineers. The tracks alone weighed 2.5 tons. You can see the wheels dismantled and lying on the ground.

Normandy, 1944 Normandy, late 1944. Zimmerit coating, an anti-magnetic mine paste was applied to the vertical surfaces of the hull and turret to prevent magnetic mines from sticking to the hull. This practice was later discontinued when there were reports that it ignited fires when hit by a shell.

Thumbnail pics World War 2 leading tanker ace, SS-HauptsturmfĂĽhrer (captain) Michael Wittman briefing his tank commanders, Normandy 1944. Decorated with the prestigious Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves and Swords, Michael Wittman destroyed 138 allied tanks and 132 anti-tank guns during his career.

101st SS Schwere-Panzer Abteilung A unit of the 101st SS Schwere-Panzer Abteilung (Heavy Panzer battalion), which Michael Wittman was part of. The 101st saw action in Russia and Normandy.

Dark green/red brown camouflage An excellent shot of the typical dark green/red brown camouflage which was very common in Normandy. In the background is a SdKfz rocket launcher, in support of the battallion. If I remember correctly, this was taken shortly before Operation Zitadelle.

Tiger 1 with feifel air cleaners Feifel air cleaners located on the back of the hull above the engine compartment were fitted for units operating in tropical environments like in Africa. These air filters were not fitted for units destined for European destinations.

Bergetiger A variation of the Tiger 1, the Bergetiger was converted as a recovery vehicle used to tow distressed tanks from the battlefield. It is equipped with a crane instead of a gun.

Tunisia, North Africa Tunisia, North Africa. This picture shows the first unit, an early production model captured by allied forces. To their dismay, the allies discovered that it was an excellent gun platform, superior to any allied tank currently fielded. It now resides in Aberdeen Proving grounds museum.

Das Reich Tiger Das Reich Tiger defending Kharkov from the impending Russian onslaught, February 1943.

Tiger 224 & 223 in Normandy Tiger 223 and 224 marches on a road during the Normandy assault. This is a late Tiger with the zimmerit coating, steel wheels and the typical green/brown Normandy camouflage.

Vimoutiers Tiger This famed monument known as the Vimoutiers Tiger, sits facing west, close to the town of Vimoutiers, France. It was blown up by their own crew after they had ran out of fuel, shortly after the allied advance in Normandy.

Bovington Tank museum This was taken in Bovington museum. Disabled by a round from a Sherman, the shell hit exactly in the ridge below the gun mantlet and the upper hull, thereby jamming the turret. The crew bailed out and it was subsequently captured. The dent right under the gun mantlet is still visible and can be seen when zoomed in.

Machinengewehr 34 Considered by many to be the world's first modern general purpose machine gun, the Machinengewehr 34 or MG34 was the primary tank and aircraft defensive weapon. Fitted on the King Tiger tanks, it had a rate of fire between 800 to 900 rpm.

Panzerfaust The Panzerfaust was the world's first expendable anti-tank weapon. There were three variants, 30, 60, and 100 indicating the maximum effective range in meters. The oversized warhead fitted to the front could penetrate up to 170 mm of armor.

Panzerschreck Panzerschreck or "tank terror" was copied from the American bazooka, but made considerably more effective to deal with future Russian tanks. It used a rocket tank rifle round and could penetrate over 200mm of armor, capable of dealing with any tank during the war.
