As Hitler's armies began to crumble on fronts as far apart as Stalingrad and North Africa, he turned in increasing desperation to his scientists to create a war-winning super-weapon.
Some, like the V2 rockets and the first jet fighters, saw action but came too late to halt defeat.
Others were so outrageously ambitious that they never got past the drawing board. The idea of building flying saucers to bomb London and even New York could have been just such a scheme.
But now it is claimed that Hitlers scientists had indeed designed this type of aircraft and were so far advanced with the project that a prototype may even have flown.
The programme, under the command of SS officer Hans Kammler, was said to have made significant breakthroughs with their experiments, says a report in the German science magazine PM.'

Don’t mention the War
IF this thing ever flew it was not a flying saucer but a flying prop disc (think ‘air car’ more recently) for which prototypes constructed by American manufacture have found no maintainable directional control for flight. Fun balderdash, but still just balderdash.
Top picture is a pre-fabricated pillbox.
I like the upside-down Panther tank turret on the bottom of the UFO in the 3rd pic. That thing must have had some real lift!.
The Nazis might have been evil, but they were never boring.
It’s a jolly good thing Hitler didn’t decide to devote two more years to military R&D before launching the war.
Funnily enough, when the British overran Pennemunde in 1945, there was and is photo/video evidence of circular UFO like craft that the British captured. Prototype stage.
The flying saucer is a device invented and flown by Big Foot. When Big Foot has landed the saucer and is out spreading terror in the American Northwest the parked flying saucer is guarded by the Chupacabra.
If Hitler had this, why didn’t he just use it to fly the coop?
I'd say the meth made him jump the gun.
They’ll never get past the TSA strip search!
I once had a Neo-Nazi troll on my blog tell me that Hitler escaped to Antarctica in a flying saucer. He was quite serious about this.
The HO 229 (Horten), look familiar?
