In 1945, a mysterious Nazi secret weapons project code-named 'The Bell' left its underground bunker in lower Silesia, along with its project documentation, and the 4-star SS general Hans Kammler. Taken aboard a massive six engine Junkers 390 ultra-long range aircraft, The Bell, Kammler, and all project records disappeared completely, along with the gigantic Junkers 390 carrying them. It has been speculated that it flew to Argentina. As a prelude to this disappearing act, the SS murdered most of the scientists and technicians involved with the project, a secret weapon that, according to one German Nobel prize-winning physicist, was given a classification of decisive for the war - the highest security classification. Offered here is a range of exotic technologies the Nazis researched, and challenges to the conventional views of the end of World War Two, the Roswell incident, and the beginning of MAJIC-12, the government's alleged secret team of UFO investigators.

A long slog, but worth it
Like a lot of the readers of this book (I imagine) I came to "The SS Brotherhood of the Bell" after reading Nick Cook's "Hunt for Zero Point", looking to discover more about this fascinating subject.
In a sense I was disappointed - it doesn't offer any genuine hard facts. On the Bell itself it's more of a scrap-book piecing together Cook's and Igor Witkowski's (author of "The Truth About the Wunderwaffe") earlier research, combined with some admittedly speculative ideas on the issue.
Also, it is cripplingly slow going for the first 120-or so pages, going into incredible detail about the lead-up the Bell, various theories (some of which are just openly ridiculous) and other lines of related research, many of which feel like dead ends.
However, it does suddenly justify itself after this stage, with some well-weighted insights into the Bell, and a heroically researched whos-who of personnel that evidence suggests may have been involved. It all builds up into a genuinely coherent document, pleasingly so. It definitely earns its place as a must-read on the Bell.
Will there ever be a definitive expose into this subject? I doubt it, but what is out there currently - including this book - offers a tantalising taste of what may well have been one of the weirdest episodes of human history.
Intriguing stuff
Intriguing stuff an quite well written. Amongst the better books I've read about 'the legend'
Well ...
My friends and I have created a new genre for this book -- creative non science fiction. This is a wonderful book; check your assumptions at the door and enjoy a speculative masterpiece. If nothing else, you will know more about the SS and Hans Kammler than you would otherwise. Did all of these events happen? Well ...
