📖 Overview
Hitler's Flying Saucers investigates reports and evidence of advanced aerospace technology developed by Nazi Germany during World War II. The book examines technical documents, eyewitness accounts, and declassified military files related to unconventional German aircraft projects.
Author Henry Stevens presents research on German scientists, engineers, and military programs focused on experimental propulsion systems and disc-shaped aircraft designs. The text includes technical drawings, photographs, and documentation from both German and Allied sources from the 1940s period.
The book traces the fate of these aerospace projects and personnel after Germany's defeat, including potential connections to postwar UFO sightings and technology developments. Stevens analyzes the transfer of German technical knowledge to various nations after 1945.
This work sits at the intersection of World War II history, aerospace development, and UFO research, raising questions about classified technological achievements and their long-term impact on aviation advancement. The book challenges conventional narratives about mid-20th century aerospace capabilities.
👀 Reviews
Readers found the book presents intriguing technical details and patents about Nazi aerospace research, but many questioned the evidence and conclusions. Several reviewers noted the book contains valuable historical documentation about German WWII aircraft development.
Liked:
- Detailed technical drawings and patents
- Research into lesser-known Nazi weapons programs
- Information about German scientists' post-war activities
Disliked:
- Lack of credible sources for key claims
- Poor organization and repetitive writing
- Many assertions based on speculation
- Numerous typographical errors
As one Amazon reviewer noted: "The technical information is fascinating but the UFO connections feel forced." Multiple readers criticized Stevens for making "huge leaps" between documented facts and UFO theories.
Ratings:
Amazon: 3.7/5 (89 reviews)
Goodreads: 3.4/5 (47 ratings)
The book maintains a small but dedicated following among WWII technology enthusiasts, though most mainstream historians dismiss its more sensational claims.

🤔 Interesting facts
🔸 According to Stevens' research, the Nazi Bell (Die Glocke) project allegedly involved a bell-shaped craft that used counter-rotating cylinders filled with metallic liquid, possibly mercury, to generate anti-gravitational effects.
✦ The book explores Viktor Schauberger's work for the Third Reich, including his "Repulsine" device which reportedly created vortex compression for propulsion using bio-technical principles observed in nature.
🔸 Stevens documents claims that some German flying disc projects were continued in post-war South America, particularly in Argentina and Chile, where German scientists allegedly found refuge.
✦ The author extensively references the work of Italian engineer Giuseppe Belluzzo, who testified about his involvement in Nazi disc aircraft development and published detailed technical drawings in the 1950s.
🔸 The book includes analysis of the "Andromeda Device," a purported German electromagnetic propulsion system that used rotating discs charged with high voltage, supposedly capable of creating its own gravitational field.
