Auke de Haan: The Craziest Nazi Conspiracies, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

The Third Reich left behind more questions than answers. Some were answered at Nuremberg. Others never were. This book explores the stranger corners of World War II history, the secret weapons programs, the occult interests, the bizarre theories that emerged during and after the war, and how historians have separated fact from fiction over the decades.

Some of what is here is documented history: the real weapons projects, the propaganda techniques, the scientific experiments conducted in secret. Other parts are the myths and theories that grew up around those facts, and this book is clear about which is which. The real story of Operation Paperclip and Nazi scientists in postwar America. The SS occult programs and what was actually behind them. The wonder weapons that were real, and the ones that were mostly propaganda. The Antarctic base theory, where it came from and what the evidence actually shows.

How postwar mythology around the Reich developed and why it spread. A clear separation of documented reality from the legends that grew around it, based on research rather than sensationalism.
