2. The Alchemy of Atlantis: the "Mission Brief" of the
Kammler stab
But what do all these fantastic projects indicate about the nature
of German secret weapons research We may draw a number of
conclusions from the evidence presented thus far, and in so doing,
speculatively reconstruct the "mission briefing" of the secret
weapons think tank being run by Kammler's SS Sonderkommando:
(1) Overlapping technologies were to be developed that could
be employed in across a wide variety of various weapons
systems (Stealth and RAM technology, etc);
(2) Every available method for the creation of prototypical
"smart weapons" was to be pursed (wire, radio, and
television-guidance systems), i.e., German technological and
engineering competence were to be exploited to the
maximum;
(3) This technological competence was to be pursued in (then)
unconventional ways and combinations to create not only
new weapons, but a new doctrine of warfare;
(4) The first generation of these weapons were then to be
extrapolated upon, and second and third generation
technology trees and long range goals mapped out;
(5) The ultimate quest was for the attainment of weapons of
mass destruction beyond the acquisition of atomic and
thermonuclear weapons;
(6) Post-nuclear systems were then to be developed ideally, and
initial research on those systems undertaken; and finally, as
we shall see,
(7) Every known theoretical principle of physics was to be
pondered and extrapolations for weaponization theorized,
and, to the extent possible, experimented upon and utilized.
In other words, the Kammlerstab's mission brief was to think
"outside the box" entirely, even if that meant outside the box of
Nazi party ideology, or, when it suited it, inside it. The basis was
the will to power, by whatever means possible.
