Die Glocke "The Bell"

Product Information

Some theories circulating on Internet conspiracy sites claim that Die Glocke is located in a Nazi gold train that is buried in a tunnel beneath a mountain in Poland. If its powers could be harnessed by the Nazis, it could be the bargaining chip to bring the Allies to the negotiating table and improve the surrender terms of the Third Reich. Those who built it were killed, and it was taken away to a hidden place where its power slowly poisons any mind that beholds it, even now. Witkowski claims Die Glocke was organized under a division of the Waffen-SS, and operated mainly at facilities in Lower Silesia.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. 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. These problems resurface in the chapters of Part Three, for instance when Kurlander cites from the reservoir of post-war conspiracy theories: his jaw dropping discussion of a topic like the alleged super weapon, die Glocke, only serves, again, to suggest that the large amount of such tales hints at some obscure kernel of truth. Mainstream reviewers have criticized claims about Die Glocke as being pseudoscientific, recycled rumors, and a hoax.

While the Allies sent back home a trove of German superweapons during Project Paperclip, including jets and missiles, there’s no record of any version of Die Glocke ever being captured. Die Glocke also showed up in Igor Witkowski’s 2000 book Prawda o Wunderwaffe ( The Truth About the Wonder Weapon)—and soon after, Nick Cook’s The Hunt for Zero Point— as a “glowing, rotating contraption” that possibly had “some kind of antigravitational effect,” or was even a “ time machine” that was part of an “SS antigravity program” for the “Repulsine” flying saucer. Its powers were believed to be so staggering that at the end of World War II, all of the scientists and laborers working on "Die Glocke" were murdered.

Upon completion of his military service, he enrolled in Portland Community College and Portland State University and received a degree in political science. Cook recounts claims that "scientists and technicians who worked on the bell and who did not die of its effects were wiped out by the SS at the close of the war, and the device was moved to an unknown location". While in technology and development division, he designed several tools and applied for patents that his company retained as trade secrets.

Either way, the device must be secured from allied hands—even if it means we will end up in the bottom of the Atlantic with it. If we fail, the American or British airplanes will no doubt spot the U-boats before we can get underway, and all will be lost. Update May 20, 2019: I just finished reading this book and can say that it covers a very interesting, little known topic. We have but one chance to change the outcome of this war, though it may very well be over before we can deploy the device.

On the corners of the Internet inclined toward conspiracy, theories circulate that "Die Glocke" – a purported Nazi superweapon that has so far only been found in the pages of science fiction novels – might be hidden somewhere beneath those ancient mountains. Former journalist Steve Diamond is diagnosed with terminal leukaemia just as his closest friend, Toby, is sent to work at an above-top-secret government facility in Wiltshire.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. S. Army sent reconnaissance teams into Germany in the later stages of the war to secure scientists and military technology before other powers, particularly the Soviet Union, could capture them. More recently, historian Eric Kurlander has discussed the topic in his 2017 book on Nazi esotericism Hitler's Monsters: A Supernatural History of the Third Reich.

According to Kiger, Die Glocke is a popular example of such legends and speculation, citing former aerospace scientist David Myhra's contention that if antigravity devices actually existed, the Germans, desperate to stop the Allies' advance, would have used them.
