With that, Corporal Entmeir began to snap a salute but stopped halfway and stood at attention as the general walked toward the mine entrance. On a slight knoll near the mine entrance, a tall, uniformed German SS general surveys the situation.

The effort, known as Project Paperclip, secured V-2 missiles and important figures like Wernher von Braun, the infamous aerospace engineer Wernher von Braun who invented the V-2 and later designed the Saturn V rocket for NASA’s Apollo program. Even though the Nazis lost World War II, they emerged from the war with an almost mythical reputation for high-tech weapons.

According to legend, Die Glocke was one of the “wonder weapons” that German dictator Adolf Hitler developed in hopes to reverse the tide of World War II.

Plus, many of the SS officials purportedly involved in the “secret UFO program” weren’t in any position to actually run it, and NASA attributes the Kecksburg Incident to the reentry of a failed Soviet Venus probe, Cosmos 96. Die Glocke ( German: [diː ˈɡlɔkə], "The Bell") was a purported top-secret scientific technological device, wonder weapon, or Wunderwaffe developed in the 1940s in Nazi Germany. According to Cook, Die Glocke was bell-shaped, about 4 metres (12 ft) high and 3 metres (9 ft) in diameter, and incorporated "two high-speed, counter-rotating cylinders filled with a purplish, liquid metallic-looking substance that was supposed to be highly radioactive, code-named 'Xerum 525. Adversaries considered the achievements of Nazi scientists and engineers to be so advanced, in fact, that the U.

Author Brian Dunning states that Morning of the Magicians helped promote belief in Die Glocke and Nazi occultism, and its absence in the historical record make it "increasingly unlikely that anything like it actually existed".

He worked for thirty years in the semi-conductor manufacturing business—his last twenty years in the technology and development division.Dorr characterizes Die Glocke as among "the most imaginative of the conspiracy theories" that arose in post- World War II years, and typical of the fantasies of magical German weapons often popularized in pulp magazines such as The Police Gazette.
