Nazi Black Sun technology & the Will to Power

[Drew Phipps]

There is another angle of the story to be remembered as well. Kammler and his staff were also said to have been present in Oberammergau, a city near the Austrian border (and also near Switzerland and Italy) with the V2 scientists a day or two prior to Verner Von Braun's surrender to American forces. It is said that Kammler, in contravention of (at least one set of) orders to keep the scientists together (so that they could be conveniently shot, I imagine) ordered the dispersal of the scientists into nearby villages, ostensibly to keep them safe from Allied bombers. From there, Von Braun's brother was able to bicycle his way to Allied infantry and arrange a "capture." It is also said that Kammler and his staff left unexpectedly threafter, for parts unknown, but the stories of his appearance in Prague are dated after Oberammergau. Independent records from the town of Oberammergau support this story, unlike most of the other stories of his whereabouts and his fate, which were reported by aides or soldiers under his command.

It should also be noted that Allen Dulles was in Switzerland during this period of time and had involved himself in the surrender of German forces.
