SS Brotherhood of the Bell: The Nazis’ Incredible Secret Technology (32 page)

But there are also a number of things to notice here that corroborate Witkowski’s reconstruction of the Bell in a general fashion, and that therefore tend to indicate that the story contains some elements of truth; indeed, it contains many elements in common with Witkowski’s history of the Bell project, a coincidence made more compelling for the fact that it predates Witkowski’s published work, and for the fact that it comes from a source with profoundly pro-Nazi sympathies. The latter point would, in fact, tend to indicate that someone, somewhere, and independent of any government, knew all about the project and what it had accomplished.

First, the story concerns a heavily forested and hilly area of Germany, which
Schloss Fürstenstein
certainly qualifies for. Secondly, the area, and hence the project reported by the story, were under SS jurisdiction. Thirdly, there was a concentration camp involved to supply slave labor for the construction and presumably for the project.

Fourthly, the story indicates that a great amount of blasting occurred, which strongly suggests that a great deal of underground construction took place. As Witkowski notes, there are clear indications that the whole complex of Fürstenstein was full of tunnels and galleries constructed during the war. Fifthly, very obviously the object reported by the village inhabitants in the story gave off strong field effects, a similarity with the Bell that is all too palpable. Sixthly, it is also clear from the story that heavy electrical cabling was involved, yet another connection with the story of the Bell. Seventhly, there is the report of a “slacklike” gray substance found among the rubble, clearly recalling the reports of blackish or grayish goo that resulted from the Bell’s tests on organic materials. Eighthly, the story recounts the burning and scorching of concrete and stone walls, tending to support the idea that whatever was involved put out strong radiation, another parallel with the Bell as recounted by Witkowski. Finally, the story records the fact that the site was apparently quickly and thoroughly evacuated by the SS, along with more blasting, an indicator, perhaps, that some of the tunnels and galleries were sealed by the SS to prevent whatever that remained from falling into Russian hands. Here again, the broad outline is consistent with the story of the Bell, with the SS’ removal of the object and execution of some of the scientists and technicians involved.

However, one must weigh this against the unbelievable elements of the story. It is not only
unlikely
but entirely
ludicrous
that SS officers involved in a top secret black project would, on their “off hours,” glibly be carrying about secret papers in their briefcases or talking more or less openly about their work at the local
Gasthaus
.

7. Mercury Vortex Engines…Again

As was mentioned previously, Witkowski does not take his analysis of the Bell any further than to imply that it was a uniquely designed plasma vortex trap that perhaps achieved extraordinary kontrabaric effects. Those effects, if one is to believe the reports of inhabitants of the region who spoke of “flying barrels” or even if one is to credit the story from the Neo-Nazi source above, would have been so sensational that the Nazis would have given the device extreme classification.

But Witkowski is alive to the fact that the Bell might represent much more. Ending the section of his book that surveys the Bell, and indeed, ending his entire incredible book, Witkowski asks a question that leads him to consider an unlikely source of inspiration for the whole project:

(Yet) one more issue remains – how did it happen that scientists from the 1940s understood exactly where they were heading? They had applied after all ideas from XXI century physics. How is it, that they were conscious of bringing about a major turning-point? What arguments did they lay down (before the launch of work) that caused them to win the race for funds with the great and influential armaments consortiums? And they won decisively.

It seems that the whole issue is something more than just a technical problem. The unusualness of all this is summed up by the fact, that descriptions of mercuric propulsion had appeared as long ago as in ancient times – in alchemy and old Hindu books – one can easily check this. The “Samaranganasutradhara” a book at least 2,000 years old, said for example: “
By means of the power latent in the mercury which sets the driving whirlwind in motion, a man sitting inside may travel a great distance in the sky in a most marvelous manner.”
⁸³

Witkowski is clearly suggesting that the inspiration for the project
might have come from the SS’ preoccupation with the occult, and from its investigations of the possible scientific underpinnings in various occult and esoteric treatises.

We have encountered this theme before, and, as regards the so-called “mercury vortex engines,” shall have more to say in chapter six.

But here Witkowski ends his reconstruction of the Bell and his own speculations as to its operation and the actual goals the Germans hoped to achieve with it. In doing so, a number of significant questions remain unanswered.

It will be recalled from the foregoing presentation that Witkowski rightly understands the importance of the
rotation
of the mercury or Xerum-525 substance in the device. But, having once mentioned it, he never considers what the Germans may have been hoping to accomplish by
counterrotation
of the same substance. In short, the kontrabaric effects of the Bell are explained by
one
rotating cylinder. So why were there
two
cylinders on a common axis rotating in opposite directions? Equally important:
what was their configuration?
Was one cylinder inside the other? Or was one cylinder on
top
of the other?

A related question is this: beyond the possible esoteric and occult inspirations, what in the
physics literature
of the day might have formed the basis of the Lantern-Bearer Project? As we shall see, the Germans had a number of scientists other than Gerlach who realized the importance of
vortices
for the very building blocks of matter. Once this idea is stated, one inevitably sees the implication, for if vortices constitute the fundamental building blocks of matter, then they also constitute a template of action for the transmutation of one form of matter into another, as well as a template
for a variety of other actions as well.

Yet another question to be at least speculatively answered is why the device was enclosed in a ceramic, bell-like shell? Was this choice of material, and its shape, significant?

Similarly, the characteristic sound the Bell made while in operation was like a beehive. This sound
could
be indicative of a rapidly opening and closing switch to
pulse
the device with high voltage (most likely, direct) current.

Finally, the Bell’s effects on living organisms – whatever its extraordinary kontrabaric and “temporal dilation” effects might have been – surely could not have been lost on the Germans either. Clearly they were in the presence of a phenomenon that could be applied in a variety of ways, as a means perhaps of propulsion, perhaps even of communication, and perhaps also as a weapon.

The phenomenon the Nazis had accessed via the Bell was a
unified
phenomenon and pointed to an underlying
unified
physics. The question is, what is that phenomenon? What were the Nazis after? Did they know what they had accessed?

Why does the figure of Gerlach keep popping up? Why, for example, is an expert in spin polarization, gravitation, transmutation of elements, and mercury plasma, placed in charge of Nazi Germany’s
public
atom bomb project? Why are his diaries still classified? Why would an antigravity device suddenly become a
Wunderwaffe
? What possible type of physics could underlie all these things?

Witkowski himself points the way to the theme that will guide us in the next few chapters:
vortices.

It should be pointed out that Geoffrey Brooks’ book,

also contains information about the Bell. Though little of it adds to the data from which to interpret its possible physics, Brooks’ book does add to the speculation concerning its whereabouts, and SS General Kammler, after the war, as we shall see.

I was delighted to discover that Witkowski had come to similar conclusions regarding the real operational purposes for General Patton’s Third Army objectives late in the war as I had: “Simultaneously from this period – from mid-April 1945 comes the last known photograph of the Ju 390 – taken in Prague, during preparations for flight. Then the trace comes to an end – there was no aircraft, and no Kammler. Although he was intensively hunted after the war, he completely ‘vanished’. The opinion prevails that only one of the superpowers could have so effectively hidden a high-ranking SS general. It is known from other sources that the Americans (Patton’s Army) drove a wedge deep into Czechoslovakia
among other reasons to reach the employees and documents of Kammler’s ‘department’ and lengthily interrogated all of them. These materials are to this day kept top secret. This is very intriguing and once again points to the ‘American trail.’”

Witkowski observes that Debus was crucial in the project for the “separation of magnetic fields component,” (
The Truth About the Wunderwaffe,
p. 238). This is highly significant, given Debus’ subsequent postwar employment by NASA at the Kennedy Space Center, and given the allegations of some that there are two spaces programs, one a very covert one employing exotic – and suppressed – technology.

Witkowski does mention that according to his sources, Gerlach did speak a great deal in the Farm Hall Transcripts about magnetic fields, atomic nuclei, the earth’s gravitation, and “extraterrestrial space.” (
The Truth About the Wunderwaffe,
p. 255). If this is true then it puts a whole other perspective on the classification of the Farm Hall Transcripts and why they remained classified for so long. Perhaps Gerlach’s comments also caused him to be brought to this country after his internment in England, since as has been seen, he was subsequently interrogated in the U.S.A., where his wartime research diaries remain classified to this day. This would clearly imply that the U.S.A. knew something about these subjects – more than it was willing to share with its British ally – and brought Gerlach over to flesh out a full picture of the Bell.
