Hitler's Flying Saucers: A Guide to German Flying Discs of the Second World War

Rating:
Summary: ZAP, POW and other appropriate sound effects.
Review: "As the hum of a great engine filled the air, cirlces of shadow crawled along the ground indicating a great, flying shape up above."

While a small division of Hitler's army was equiped with flying saucers, he failed to discover the technology for disk mounted laser cannons. If you're going to build an army and use flying saucers as part of your militia, one MUST outfit them with giant lasers!

Yes, I know that back in the 40's even having built a flying saucer was quite impressive. However, there is not a single report of a UFO landing and dispensing men dressed in space suits.

I was dissapointed with this book in as much as it did not even explain the detailed inner workings of such an aircraft and the photographs failed to deliver reference for the ion thruster that I am currently trying to build.

Nice try, Hitler guy...oh, and when you build a flying saucer it needs to have blinking lights ALL along the outside. Duh!

Summary: May the (black sun) force be with you
Review: Hitler's Flying Saucers is the best (english) book written on the subject. It's well up-to-date, packed with a good ammount of technical information, including illustrations and photographs - all comes from (more or less) reliable sources (exsample: Kadmon, and those who worked with the projects). Everything in this book is presented in a refreshing, opened minded manner -- if you are a water-proof "PC", then then "Hitler's Flying Saucers" won't be your choise. If you are an open-minded researcher, scholar, this book will even be more than insightful.

"The Black Sun is the most powerful force yet observed in our universe."

In the nutshell - Hitler's Flying Saucers is a must-have to anyone who is interested in the secret weapons of the 3rd Reich, including the mysticism and science behind it.

Summary: A singularly fascinating and thought-provoking study
Review: Painstakingly researched, compiled, and written by Henry Stevens, Hitler's Flying Saucers: A Guide To German Flying Discs Of The Second World War is an original, iconoclastic, involving, and entertaining look at the saucer projects carried out by the Nazis during World War II. Presenting amazing (and sometimes incredulous) theories, some of which have been vehemently denied by conventional authorities, Hitler's Flying Saucers is a singularly fascinating and thought-provoking study which is highly recommended reading -- especially for students of UFO phenomenon, military aviation, and suppressed history.

Summary: Most complete distillation of the Nazi Flying Saucer legend
Review: Poor grammar, many spelling errors, and a type face that looks like it came off an ancient IBM Selectric typewriter, and that is BEFORE you actually begin reading the material. The rest of the book is about how the Nazis built amazing saucer-shaped aircraft propelled by exotic power-plants based on obscure principles (except for "suction" or boundary layer control). He backs up the story with excerpts from ancient and deservedly obscure books like Lusar's German Secret Weapons of the Second World War II or Zundel's "UFOs: Nazi Secret Weapons?" All of this must be true because so many people say it is, right?
Actually Mr. Stevens does a pretty good summing up and combining all the stories and legends and even adds a few new pictures. That is why he got 3 stars. Too bad the editing is so crummy.
So why did a skeptic buy it? RPG material, believe it or not: NOW is the time to strike against the Antarctic Space Nazis and their masters, the evil Vril Lords from within the Hollow Earth! Nazis, dinosaurs, magic ("psionics"), and squared-jawed heroes with Tommy-guns: can you say fun?
If you are really serious about this, get the Hunt for Zero Point by Nick Cook. Otherwise, this is probably the most complete distillation of the Nazi Flying Saucer legend.
