has appeared in Germany since the reunification made these<br />

archives accessible, and moreover, the lormerly inaccessible SS<br />

secret underground facilities and complexes finally became<br />

accessible to the public. Aided and abetted in their efforts by the<br />

declassification of several documents by the Clinton administration<br />

in the United States, German researchers began to probe the new<br />

information, reconnecting the dots, and presenting a chilling picture<br />

of the actual state of Nazi wartime research and its enormous<br />

discrepancy with the postwar Allied Legend. This body of work has<br />

been almost entirely ignored in North America. 2<br />

Agoston's work was the first indication from the "mainstream"<br />

that there may have been something behind the Nazi Legend.<br />

Agoston revealed his story for the first time after his source, none<br />

other than close Kammler associate at the famous Skoda Works,<br />

Dr. Wilhelm Voss, died. The story that Voss told Agoston at the<br />

end o f the war was, according to Agoston, in confidence.<br />

As Agoston notes rather sarcastically, Kammler boasted almost<br />

the perfect "corporate resume" and a documentable record of<br />

"whole person management" as a "team player":<br />

A modern day management consultant who was talent hunting for<br />

a "total professional with total involvement" would certainly have been<br />

fascinated by the bizarre curriculum vitae Kammler could have<br />

submitted. He could demonstrate a "track record" in "very senior<br />

appointments," with skill in putting across "aggressive growth<br />

plans."...<br />

2 The most prominent post-reunification German sources for this story are<br />

Friedrich Georg's series on secret weapons, Hitler's Siegeswaffen series in<br />

thrcc volumes; and the studies of Edgar Mayer and Thomas Mehner, Das<br />

Geheimnis der Deutschen Atombombe; Die Atombombe und das Dritte Reich;<br />

Hitler un die ,,Bombe"; Harald Fath's 1945 -Tthuringens Manhattan Projekt<br />

ami Geheime Kommandosache - S III Jonastal und die Seigeswaffenproduktion.<br />

Also not to be neglected is Robert K. Wilcox's Japan's Secret War: Japan's<br />

Race against Time to Build its Own Atomic Bomb, for the latter book raises the<br />

question of where Japan acquired its enrichment capability and stocks of<br />

uranium in no uncertain terms (see chapter 7 of this book). Also important is<br />

Karl Heinz Zunneck's Geheimtechnologien, Wunderwaffen und die irdischen<br />

Facetten des UFO-Phanomens.<br />
