Did the German Army Invent Time Travel? | In Search of Aliens (S1)

During the Second World War, it was widely believed that the German army possessed the most technologically advanced military on the planet, boasting an arsenal that included guided missiles, jet aircraft, and precision bombers. Adolf Hitler planned to use this weaponry to defeat the Allied forces and create an empire that would rule the world. But after they were defeated in 1945, more than 1,600 German scientists were brought to the United States as part of Operation Paperclip. And there are some who believe that these diabolical minds brought secret knowledge that may have had an extraterrestrial origin. I'm in Ludwikowice, Poland with Igor Witkowski, author of the truth about the Wunderwaffe or Wonder Weapons. In 1997, while working as a military journalist, Igor was shown original documents by a Polish intelligence officer concerning a top secret Nazi project titled Kronos and a mysterious weapon known as the Glocke or the bell. Because Kronos in ancient Greek mythology is also the name of the titan god of time, there are some who believe that project Kronos involved the study of time travel and the Glocke might have been part of some type of a time machine. We are turning left and we're just about to enter the valley in Ludwikowice, Poland, which was sort of a Nazi equivalent of the area 51, I guess. Igor is taking me to a place called The Henge, which is believed to be a former Nazi science laboratory and the headquarters for project Kronos. So this is what they're referring to as The Henge. Looks as if it's made of concrete and I mean, it's a very interesting structure. So what can you tell me about this? It appears for the first time on aerial photographs in September of 1944. So it certainly has been built shortly before the end of the war. And the entire valley was dedicated to research and development purposes. And this is one of the objects here. According to Igor, the entire valley is honeycombed with chambers, tunnels, and subterranean laboratories, all ones dedicated to the development of futuristic technologies. Leading the search for the Wunderwaffe was Nazi scientist Hans Kammler. Some claim that Kammler was the most important officer in the SS and masterminded the development of cutting edge projects based upon ancient knowledge. Some have suggested that The Henge was designed to test the Glocke and that large chains would have been attached to the bizarre structure so that the bell-shaped craft would not fly away prematurely. But The Henge is nothing compared to the vast network of tunnels and chambers which lie hidden underground, the place where many believe the Glocke or the bell was constructed. This is very creepy down here, very creepy. It's cold, cold, it's damp. According to Igor, Nazi Germany's prisoners of war were forced to participate in high-tech experiments here at The Henge. This is the guard room, there was a machine gun here. These holes were for throwing grenades. Wow, I mean, this is crazy. Yeah. Are you aware of any blueprints that were ever discovered of this Wunderwaffe, the way it might've been shaped, the way it might've looked like? Somewhere here, yes. You see, it's something that resembles a bell and it is portrayed here as a part of some larger propulsion system. A time machine device embedded in something that looks like a flying saucer. Could such a device really exist? And if it did, could it really travel through time? You know, the first thing that jumps out at me is that they named this thing here the Vril number nine and Vril is something that refers to power in ancient Tibetan and Sanskrit texts, so why would anyone use this? It's a very obscure term, this whole Vril thing. What can you tell me about why or how this Vril was actually used in this context here? What they have discovered is that one may induce gravity from electromagnetic forces. Vril, in this case, seems to be the most accurate description of the force that we are discovering. According to Igor, the bell disappeared at the end of the war, along with its mastermind, Hans Kammler. And there are those who speculate to this day that both escaped through a window in time. I'm at Castle Czausz in Lower Silesia, Poland, a former development headquarters for many of Adolf Hitler's top secret weapons known as Wunderwaffen or wonder weapons. Igor, do you think that maybe the bell that they also sometimes refer to as the Glocke was a type of flying craft? It was a combination of some flying machine with weapons of mass destruction. It seems that the bell was a main part of a propulsion system of a flying craft, not a flying craft itself, but we don't know the rest of the picture. It has been widely reported that the Nazis had an almost fanatical desire to locate and study ancient religious texts and artifacts, which they believe possessed great power. They were also fascinated by the occult and the study of the forbidden or so-called dark arts. Although much of this ancient knowledge was lost at the end of the war, much of it was thought to be taken by the Allies as spoils of war and may have served as the inspiration for many of the advanced communications and weapons systems in use today. The very idea of generating gravity was based on scientific discoveries that they have made. They were open also to the idea of incorporating knowledge from the ancient past and the very possibility of other intelligences in the universe. This all seems highly advanced for its time. It was such an advanced idea, the most secret research project carried out in the Third Reich. And I have a very interesting document here, which designed by the General Kammler. It says that it was engaging all the forces of the SS at the end of the war. The way Igor describes the bell reminds me of the numerous accounts in ancient Hindu texts of the Vimanas, airships that could stop on a dime and change direction at top speed, seemingly defying the laws of physics. The ancient Sanskrit text, the Mahabharata, describes an earthly arrival by these ancient spacecraft, which curiously resemble modern day UFO accounts. Today, most mainstream historians identify the stories of the Vimanas as works of fiction, but in India, some Hindus regard them as history. Is it possible that the Nazis had somehow rediscovered an alien technology that existed on earth thousands of years ago? And if so, where did they get such detailed information? In his 1993 book, Secret Societies and Their Power in the 20th Century, author Jan van Helsing wrote that a UFO crashed in Germany's Black Forest in 1936, three years before the start of World War II. According to his account, Hitler's SS troops took possession of the downed craft and carried it away to their top secret headquarters at Weibelsburg Castle. There, it is believed that Nazi scientists began their attempts to reverse engineer technology found aboard the damaged craft.
