(7) The Hell was transplanted out of Silesia to a destination that<br />

has never been discovered. The Bell, along with General<br />

Kammler himself, simply disappear entirely from history,<br />

never to be seen again.<br />

(8) A strange "henge" like structure was constructed by the<br />

Germans out of reinforced concrete near the facility where<br />

the Bell was located and tested. This structure resembled a<br />

test rig for the possible test of extremely powerful<br />

propulsion devices. 12<br />

Cook also notes that, at the end of the war, Kammler had special<br />

jurisdiction over a secret "SS evacuation command" that had been<br />

personally established by Reichsleiter Martin Bormann in great<br />

secrecy. This command included jurisdiction over all of Nazi<br />

Germany's heavy-lift ultra-long range transport aircraft, including<br />

the Ju-290 and the six engined monster, the Ju-390, that we<br />

encountered in part one. These planes were based at the end of the<br />

war quite near the secret underground facility where the Bell was<br />

being tested.<br />

Before proceeding, it would be useful to note a few things<br />

about this strange list of properties.<br />

First, whatever the Bell was, Kammler's SS apparently thought<br />

its secrets were so valuable, that anyone connected with its<br />

construction and/or testing had to be executed at the end of the war<br />

to prevent these from being leaked, presumably to the Russians,<br />

since the Bell was located and tested in Silesia, in what would later<br />

become Poland and East Germany.<br />

Second, we note again the use of concentration camp inmates<br />

to perform the dangerous, and one can only presume, eventually<br />

lethal, operation of cleaning the test chamber after each<br />

experimentation with the Bell. This fact places this mysterious<br />

object firmly within Kammler's SS secret weapons black projects<br />

empire. It is entirely possible that the Bell represented something<br />

so sophisticated in terms of its principles of operation, that the then<br />

only known tesimony and descriptions of the Bell in his affidavit to a post-war<br />

Polish war crimes trial, for which he was convitcd and executed.<br />
