to find something, some proof, that the Germans really had developed a
new and exotic propulsion medium.
They were reluctant to do so and I could understand why: It was well
documented in the legends that had grown up around him that Viktor
Schauberger had worked for the SS.
In my initial assessment of Schauberger's work, this association
seemed to have been drawn straight from the mythology surrounding SS
activities during the war and had merely compounded the case against
him.
Now, of course, it was quite the reverse.
I'd reached the end of the road; told Marckus everything I'd learned.
It was only when I finished that I realized he hadn't interjected once.
I thanked him for listening. He stopped me just before I cut the
link.
"Call me, won't you, if you need to talk. I mean it. Day or night.
Sometimes it can be good to download, clear the mind for what lies ahead."
As I journeyed on toward the mountains, I felt better about Marckus
than I had in months. It was difficult to put my finger on, but it had
something to do with the fact that, for once, I was telling him about
material of which he had no prior knowledge. I wasn't entirely sure why,
but for the first time I felt I could trust him.
Something about Marckus' final tone of voice told me something else.
I felt sure that he knew exactly what I was going through.
As soon as I crossed the Austrian border, I took a break at a rest stop, got
out the laptop and pulled up Cross' notes on the Legend. The relevant
portion, the part devoted to Viktor Schauberger, boiled down to the
following precis:
Late in the war, despite being close to pensionable age, Schauberger
was called up for active duty in the German Army. Soon afterward, he
received orders to report to an SS institution in Vienna. From there, he
was taken to the nearby concentration camp of Mauthausen, informed by
the camp commandant that his inventions had received the blessing of
Reichsführer Himmler himself, and ordered to handpick a group of
engineers from among the prisoners. This would be the "team" that
would help him complete his work on an energy device of radical design
that Schauberger had begun working on before the war. If he did not
comply with this order, the commandant informed him, he would be
hanged and reprisals instituted against his family. Schauberger did as he
was told.
By 1944, serious work had begun on a Schauberger machine that
