Nazi Black Sun technology & the Will to Power

[Peter Lemkin]

It strikes me that the US didn't need Kammler for the V1 or V2 as they had Werner von Braun and team for that. So it seems likely it was The Bell technology they were after Kammler for.

People should keep in mind that Kammler was NOT a scientist. He was highly educated, but was a trained architect, planner, and bureaucrat. He had, towards the end of the War, a meteoric rise in the SS and personal trust of Hitler and his inner circle. His portfolio grew, as the War neared its end. He was in charge of all underground facilities of any size; knew which companies and projects were where within these underground facilities; knew who was in charge of these projects and where funds and supplies came from/to; additionally, he was GENERALLY aware of the science/engineering involved in them, but I don't believe he was involved in the details of any of the projects under his 'care'. He was the administrative head of all secret [and many non-secret] weapons systems and developmental projects by War's end. He would have had great value in knowing such things as 'where' and 'who' had the 'pieces of the puzzle' to such projects - rather than knowing the technical details of those projects, themselves. He re-positioned the rocket scientists just at War's end and had an interesting meetings with Dornberger [V-1, V-2 head] just before/after Dornberger met with non-Axis 'agents' in Lisbon. Then Kammler took a number of seemingly 'odd' trips....first to an underground facility in Austria, then to Prague's SS Headquarters. He was last seen leaving Prague on a convoy of defeated Nazi troops, headed South to the American lines [and away from the advancing Soviet forces] at Pisek, Czechoslovakia. All others in his full car and one other car accompanying it arrived to surrender to the Americans, except for Kammler. There are multiple versions of what 'happened' en route. I don't believe any of the one's publicly tendered. A few of those in his sub-convoy among the larger retreating convoy were not what I would call 'normal' military. There is more to this story.... The 'Bell' is an interesting Project, also under Kammler's general oversight. There were other interesting projects, as well!
