I like history in general, and since WWII is a major turning point in history I have read much about it. I have also read many of the conspiracy
theories about what happened and if FDR knew of the Pearl Harbor attack in advance. That one seems credible as the US was very pacifist and had many
pro-Nazi forces in it at the time.
The best book with fringe elements is Jim Marrs' book "The Rise of the Fourth Reich". I have not read any of the Black Sun books yet, but they are
on my wish list and I will get to them soon.
There is much I do not know about the Third Reich, but I can deduce that they would have had a major shortage of raw materials and other resources.
That is why I think many of the far out weapons systems never left the designing stage. Their major error was spreading the limited money and
resources they had to over one hundred different ideas. That does not help in a time of very limited resources, especially time. The Russians and
Americans were knocking at three doors at the time too: The Russian Front, The Atlantic Front and North Africa. The Nazis had to divide their military
might three ways, and also have men to spare to combat the freedom and resistance fighters in their occupied lands.
From the above I can deduce that they did not get very far with any alternative energies or saucer type delivery systems. They would definitely have
used them as they would have been able to free up much man power to concentrate on certain theaters of the conflict. (It didn't help that we were
able to break the codes of both the Nazis and the Japanese.)
Once I read some of the many books out there, I will find more sites and recommendations to those who are interested in this most fascinating subject.
