Ep 10. Nazis and UFOs

During World War II, Germany's scientific and technological advancements allowed them to develop some of the most advanced weaponry of the time. However, according to some conspiracy theorists, the Nazis may have also made progress in the development of extraterrestrial technology.

In season 1 episode 10 of Unsealed: Alien Files titled "Nazis and UFOs," we dive deep into the alleged connection between the Third Reich and unidentified flying objects. The episode starts with a brief history of the German military's search for advanced technology, which culminated in the establishment of the "Nazi Bell" program.

The Nazi Bell was a promising yet sinister project that aimed to develop technology capable of earning the war for Germany. It involved a series of experiments with anti-gravity and propulsion systems. However, some believe that the Nazi Bell was an attempt to reverse-engineer alien technology that had fallen into Nazi hands.

According to one of the show's expert witnesses, Nick Cook, an aerospace journalist and author, the Nazis were desperate to find something that would give them an edge in the war. Cook explains that the Germans were not looking for a weapon per se, but for something that will shock their enemies and take them by surprise. In other words, they were not just looking for advanced technology; they were looking for a game-changer.

This pursuit of a game-changing technology is what allegedly led the Nazis to the discovery of something extraordinary in Silesia in eastern Germany in 1936. The show introduces us to Lusar Pumhösel, a researcher and author, who claims that a group of Nazis found what appears to be a UFO buried underground in a cave system. Pumhösel says that this discovery led the Nazis to devote enormous resources to the development of extraterrestrial technology.

The episode also touches on another notorious Nazi figure, Wernher von Braun, who was a brilliant rocket scientist who played a crucial role in developing the V-2 rocket and later became instrumental in the American space program. While many credit von Braun for much of America's success in space exploration, some conspiracy theorists claim that he was part of a secret group of Nazis working on advanced technology that went beyond rocket science.

The show then delves into the alleged sightings of UFOs during the war, which some claim were sightings of Nazi saucers. Former U.S. Air Force intelligence officer, William Tompkins, says that the Germans had developed a flying craft that could travel to the moon and back using antigravity technology. He further explains that the technology used in these crafts was not fully German but was rather extraterrestrial, and the Germans were trying to combine it with their existing technology.

Towards the end of the episode, Unsealed: Alien Files tackles the question of what happened to the Nazis' alleged extraterrestrial technology after Germany's defeat. In his book "Unholy Alliance: A History of Nazi Involvement with the Occult," Peter Levenda suggests that the United States government took over the Nazi Bell project after the war and used the technology to create advanced military equipment.

However, not everyone on the show agrees with this theory. According to Nick Cook, if the United States did obtain the Nazi's alien technology, it is highly unlikely that it would have remained a secret for so long. Cook also notes that technological progress is incremental and doubts that advanced technology in the hands of a few scientists would have made much of a difference.

Overall, Unsealed: Alien Files season 1 episode 10 "Nazis and UFOs" explores the fascinating and controversial relationship between the Third Reich and extraterrestrial technology. It takes us on a journey through history and the multiple conspiracy theories surrounding this topic, leaving the viewers to decide for themselves what to believe.
