Hitler's Terror Weapons (5 page)

The V-3 suffered from lack of development due to the pressure of time. Had the Mimoyecques battery been operational against London in 1943, delivering 200 6-inch shells per hour, Paul Brickhill's fears might easily have been justified.

V-4 Uraniumbombe and the Doomsday Bomb

Hitler was pinning all his hopes on the
Uraniumbombe.
This laboratory-produced nuclear explosive was to be the warhead in the large V-2 or A9/10 rockets. The V-2 had a range of 200 miles while the A9/10 could hit New York. There was no rocket of the same species for the intermediate ranges and this omission was fatal. By December 1944 when the
Uraniumbombe
was ready for use in numbers for the definitive V-2 campaign, the Low Countries and France had been lost and now the range was too long. After the failure of the Ardennes campaign, in March 1945 Hitler decided on a last desperate gamble. On his last appearance at the front, he exhorted his troops to hold out until the miracle weapon should be ready, which would bring about the change in Germany's fortunes. Posterity has been left few traces of the former flak weapon based on firedamp. In principle it generated a ferocious pressure wave at ground level, killing principally by blast and suffocation, but it had a knock-on effect which threatened a structural change to the atmosphere. The mysterious loss of Luftwaffe and OKW War Diaries for the month or so in question may have been connected with the execution of Luftwaffe General Barber and several hundred pilots and airfield commanders for refusing to implement orders to use it at the end of March 1945. When captured in May that year, Hermann Goering exclaimed that he had “declined to deploy a weapon which might have destroyed all civilisation,” the inference being perhaps that the use of the explosive threatened to so destabilize the climate as to bring about the cataclysm, but that Hitler had nevertheless ordered its use against the Allies on the Western Front regardless. It certainly does not look as though it happened that way round, for reasons explained later.

CHAPTER 2

The Aryan Physics Doctrine

O
N 30 JANUARY 1933 the National Socialist Party under Adolf Hitler came to power in Germany. Those who saw in National Socialism nothing more than a political movement knew scarcely anything of it. It was more even than a religion; it was the will to create mankind anew.

“One thing is certain – Hitler has the spirit of the prophet. We had come to a turning point in world history – that was his constant theme. We uninstructed persons, it was clear, had no conception of the scale of the revolution that was to take place in all life. At these times Hitler spoke as a seer, as one of the initiated. His inspired pronouncements were based on a biological mysticism … the pursuit of ‘the random path of the intelligence' was the real defection of man from his divine mission. To have ‘magic insight' was Hitler's idea of the goal of human progress. He himself felt that he already had the rudiments of this gift. He attributed to it his successes and his future eminence. He saw his own remarkable career as a confirmation of Hidden Powers.”
²¹

These Hidden Powers seem to have first possessed Hitler on Armistice Day 1918. He had been admitted to Pasewalk Military Hospital at the end of the war suffering from mustard gas poisoning and placed under the care of a psychiatrist, Dr Edmund Forster, who misdiagnosed his condition as psychopathic hysteria. What treatment was administered and what the correct diagnosis was remain a mystery since the Gestapo seized the records in 1933 and Dr Forster committed suicide the same year. According to Hitler while at the hospital he had experienced “a vision from another world” which told him that he needed to restore his sight so that he could lead Germany back to greatness. His anti-semitism manifested at Pasewalk. It was there that he promised solemnly to become a politician and “devote his energies to fulfilling the orders which he had received”.
²²

“Yes, Hitler continued, Nietzsche went so far as to recognize the superman as a new biological variety. But he was not too sure of it. Man is becoming God – that is the simple fact. Man is God in the making. Man has eternally to strain at his limitations. The moment he relaxes and contents himself with them, he decays and falls below the human level. He becomes a quasi-beast. Gods and beasts, that is what our world is made of”.
²³

Thus was National Socialism at root an idea embracing powerful emotions harnessed towards a demiurgic transformation of the world by a new race of Aryan mankind which was, or so he imagined, at the same time the resurgence of an Himalayan race of profound antiquity. And, from the very outset, the world enemy had been identified. In a booklet published from his notes made in 1923, and published by Hohenreichen Verlag Munich in 1924 under the title
Bolshevism from Moses to Lenin: A Dialogue between Adolf Hitler and Me
²⁴
, Hitler's tutor in magic, Dietrich Eckart, to whom he dedicated
Mein Kampf
, demonstrated that the roots of the hatred of the Jews stretched back to the pre-Exodus period in Ancient Egypt.

The oriental origins of Hitler's movement are obvious not only from its symbolism. Many National Socialist speeches, including those by Hitler, were direct translations, phrase by phrase, from the works of the Chinese philosopher Yang Shang, whose theories influenced Shih Huang-Ti (246–209 BC), builder of the Great Wall, an emperor beguiled by the esoteric language of Taoist sacred writings.
²⁵
The German Customs list of books banned from entry into the Third Reich was fairly complete as far as the languages of Europe and America were concerned, but lacking in oriental titles – in fact entirely devoid of them. The works of the pacifist Chinese political philosophers were not on it, and even German, French and English translations of these books could come in.
²⁶

Rudolf Hess, interrogated in the Tower of London under the effect of a truth serum, stated that National Socialists valued the occult sciences highly and might even be, through Hitler, the puppets of a clandestine Directorate in the Orient.
²⁷
No doubt he had other things to say. Exactly why he had to serve his sentence of life imprisonment in solitary confinement has never been made clear, but his uninvited arrival in Britain one month before
Barbarossa
suggests that he, at least, believed he had a cogent argument for the termination of Anglo-German hostilities.

The doctrine therefore had its various sources in the Orient, and although the underlying philosophy of Nazi science is undocumented, it is likely to have been the Hermetic tradition. Hitler was a disciple of the Buddhistic thinker Schopenhauer, and his success stemmed from a profound knowledge of magical causes occasioned by reading Schopenhauer's treatment of Hermeticism. By this is meant the ancient Trismegistic literature of the Hermetic tradition of which uncontested Egyptian treatises survive and thus for the second time within a few passages we found ourselves confronted by the spectre of Ancient Egypt in connection with National Socialism.

Hermetic science states that each element in matter has as its crystal a unique geometric form. Thus an assayist can recognize any mineral by microscopic examination of its crystal. The experimentalist Sir William Crooks, having spread some fine sand over the head of a drum, sounded different notes above the drumhead with a tuning fork. It was found that the sand shifted and always assumed the same unique geometric figure corresponding to the key sounded. This proved that vibration is the origin of form. All matter, mineral or organic, is merely a molecular structure held together by a keynote, from which one can infer that everything in the material universe is the result of vibration, a fortuitous concourse of atoms. The whole secret of matter is that all form is a mode of motion of the original cosmic energy, found in finer or grosser form on all planes of nature. This was the secret behind the philosophy of Schopenhauer, the guru of Hitler, that the material world is only an illusion and no physical object has any permanent reality. The only reality is the vibration.

Since Adolf Hitler had to suppress the career of a science which did not work for the benefit of humanity becoming God, but for darker, more material purposes, there dawned Aryan Physics.

Aryan Physics (the term is twinned with the expression Jewish Physics which means any scientific procedure not compatible with Aryan doctrine) was a National Socialist doctrine inspired by two German Nobel Prize winners in Physics, Professor Philipp Lenard and Dr Johannes Stark, although the impetus for it is bound to have come from Hitler. In the four volumes of
Deutsche Physik
published in 1936, Professor Lenard had completed the unenviable task of setting out the doctrine. It was ill-defined and fraught with contradictions. The principal purpose of the two founders was to refute various 20th century developments in sub-atomic science, principally Einstein's theories of relativity, and also quantum theory, labelling them “a Jewish sedition” and “the outgrowths of an alien mentality”.

In 1927 the German quantum physicist Professor Werner Heisenberg postulated his Uncertainty Principle, a proposition of far-reaching consequence for modern philosophy and science which challenged Einstein's insistence on a causal, predictable universe. Since quantum mechanics predicts that the sub-atomic world is without independent structure, this contradicts not only Einstein's theory of relativity but also the Hermetic doctrine, which states that all matter is molecular structure held together by harmonics.

Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle and quantum mechanics assert the unpredictable and random distribution of nuclear particles. It is claimed that the theory has withstood every test devised for it, but, nevertheless, contrary to the gathering scientific evidence against Einstein's theories, both systems are even today supposed to be held in equal importance by science. Modern theoretical physicists say that in order to understand the workings of the universe from its inception, relativity theories will ultimately be reconciled with quantum mechanics in the so far elusive unified field theory, but the electron problem (in which the particle goes outside the time-space continuum or range of observation during measurement) makes this unlikely. More probably, in the opinion of many, relativity theory will ultimately have to be discarded.
²⁸

Einstein asserted that a three-dimensional continuum plus time is all there is. In the 1920s he pointed out that quantum physics appeared to predict that sub-atomic particles communicate with one another instantaneously and regardless of the distance separating them. This implied faster-than-light communication which was prohibited by his theory of relativity, the cardinal principle of which was the dictum that nothing can travel faster than light, since that would imply a number of unacceptable paradoxes such as time travel. In 1982 the physicists Aspect, Dalibard and Roger of the Institute of Optics at the University of Paris proved by experiment that when twin photons emitted from a calcium atom travelled a significant distance apart, and had their angles of polarization – the specific angle of orientation of the light wave – measured simultaneously, their polarizations were always found to be correlated. Einstein had stated years before that, if that were discovered to be the case, he would accept that the two protons had communicated instantaneously. Thus it would seem that the Special theory of relativity cannot stand, and time travel, UFOs from other dimensions “and a host of other paradoxes” are possible.

Much earlier than 1982 Aryan Physics suspected that when Einstein was working on the unified field theory, he realized that relativity could not be accommodated in it, but by then it was impossible for him to admit his earlier error. While dismissing relativity theory altogether, Aryan Physics also refuted quantum physics on the grounds that all unified field theories continued to view space-time in Einstein's terms. Since Hermetic science accepts other dimensions beyond our own continuum, presumably this, together with the assertion that the sub-atomic world has no independent structure, was what Aryan Physics considered was lacking in quantum theory. Since the war, through optics research and spectral analysis from the Orbiting Solar Observatory, OSO7 of NASA, we have new knowledge concerning the composition and formation of the universe. Vibratory sound fields do exist within the sub-atomic worlds which appear responsible for molecular structures maintaining their specific particle configurations. The implication is that the structure of the universe is based on harmonics.

Before the advent of quantum theory, most physicists accepted a universe that was totally causal. The success of Newton's physics was due to the apparent laws of causality seeming to exist for virtually every system. Even when prediction was impractical, classical physics still assumed that the system was causal. This mechanistic view was based on the notion that reality is composed of solid objects and empty space, and in the realm of everyday life this is still valid. The refutation of quantum and relativity theories meant the resurrection of Newtonian Physics in Nazi Germany. Inevitably this had its repercussions in the nuclear field, for as Speer explained,
²⁹
Hitler “set his face against nuclear physics for doctrinal reasons,” and evidently showed little interest in having his scientists build a nuclear reactor as a power source. The evidence also suggests that he did not want to use the atom bomb. If one can accept the idea that, far from being merely a mob-orator with a limited intellect, Hitler was literate philosophically, even if the results of his beliefs were horrendous, then the assertion of many of his contemporary scientists and military leaders may be true, that decisions in the scientific field were based on his obscure scientific doctrine or communicated to him from another level.

Professor Heisenberg Acts Unwisely

A notable personality to fall foul of Aryan Physics early on was Professor Werner Heisenberg himself. His role as the leading atom physicist in the Third Reich was an equivocal one and this book will not do much to resolve the controversy. Born in Würzburg on 5 December 1901, he was the second son of a University lecturer. During the First World War he volunteered for land service. When a soviet republic was imposed on Bavaria in April 1919 Heisenberg joined many fellow students in supporting the moderate socialists. He served with a cavalry brigade as despatch carrier and lookout.
