A quick answer

In early 90's, Friedrich Georg published a collection of three expensive volumes about "III Reich miracle weapons"


Hitler's Miracle Weapons: Secret Nuclear Weapons of the Third Reich and their Carrier Systems: Volume 1: Luftwaffe and Kriegsmarine


https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/823437.Hitler_s_Miracle_Weapons

Hitler's Miracle Weapons: The Secret history of the Rockets and Flying Crafts of the Third Reich: Volume 2: From the V-1 to the A-9; Unconventional short- and medium-range weapons


https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/21387298-hitler-s-miracle-weapons

Hitler's Miracle Weapons: From the 'America Rocket' to an Orbital Station.: Volume 3: Germany's Efforts to Develop Intercontinental Weapons and the First Space Programme


https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/521659.Hitler_s_Miracle_Weapons_Volume_3

The information in the books is clearly questionable. Much of it based on myth, speculation or straight from the author’s imagination. (I.e. a photography of a modified Myasishchev M-4 Molot model painted in Luftwaffe markings and identified in the text as if it was a real unbuilt German project)




Anyone interested on history and objective facts just avoid it.

They are simply "what if " not real history .

OK my dears,

and we can transfer or spilt this part to a proper section,and thanks.

They are simply "what if " not real history .

It is a "what if" only when the author is open about the fictitious nature of it.
Otherwise, it is a called a lie. Or a fraud, when done for economic advantage like selling books.

By the way,

the third drawing was also mentioned in anther source ?!.

"economic advantage"? A clearly uninformed opinion. How many copies of each book were published? At what cost? What was the author's cut? I work in book publishing. I do it for a living. Hardcover books are expensive to produce.

I have an original German language edition of Hitlers Siegeswaffen, Band 2: Star Wars 1947. It has a color section. It was published by AMUN-Verlag in a limited edition of 1,000 copies. Again, how much to print?

If the author was smart, he *could* be raking it in. The books probably cost on the order of a dozen dollars to print. There are two copies of Volume 3 available on abebooks; the asking prices are $750 and $1200+. They doubtless won't *sell* for that, but I have seen this book sell for well over $100 on ebay. If the author planned ahead and took the long view, he might have printed a thousand copies and simply stuffed them into his garage to sell one a week or so, making perhaps a couple hundred bucks a week in profit.

I say *possible,* not *likely.*

 

[edwest4]

Hoo boy. One of our books was going for hundreds of dollars on the so-called "secondary" or speculator market. We reprinted it. Demand dropped. I have a non-Friedrich Georg book in my collection that I bought for $30. Later, I saw it going for $300. Then it gradually floated back down.

The three books mentioned earlier in this thread were published by Helion, not the author.

While I am suitably impressed by your experience and by the overbearing way it is delivered, I fail to see what this has to do with calling a lie a lie, or a fraud a fraud.

Separately, if someone engages in unprofitable business ventures, it vouches for his economic acumen, not for his morals.

The anther source maybe a book or a site on Net ?,to be honest.

In French and German 1,000, in Italian 500-700, in Spanish 400-500, in English 1,000-4,000

I've seen those drawings before but I don't remember where. They are possibly a re-adaptation of Ted Nomura's work.

Igor A. Shestakov from Unicraft Models collaborated in the book’s drawings

No,I did not mean that site at all,and I think it was in a book ?!.

 

[hesham]

No,I did not mean that site at all,and I think it was in a book ?!.

But it was not a German's book,maybe a Polish

 

[Mu17]

I have not seen these volumes but there seems a universal view that they are myth and fantasy.
However, can I ask a serious question ?

Whilst the debate about how close Germany came to producing a nuclear bomb, still seems to ebb too and fro. Is there ANY evidence whatsoever, to show that there was a ball park figure for the size, weight and dimensions of nuclear bomb, as a reference for aircraft bomb bay design ????? and as a factor in aircraft range calculations ???

Personally, I cannot imagine that they were anywhere near that stage but I would appreciate the informed view of forum members.

Whilst there may have been a vague intention to have used an SC2500 casing, the proportions of the early US bombs shows that this may have been unworkable.

My working assumption is, that if a nuclear bomb had been produced, the most suitable airframe available at the time, would have been modified to accommodate it.

All constructive ciomments welcomed.

I read Volume 1.

Claims:
-Germany made and tested nuclear weapons, but didn't use them for....... reasons...... Reasons like "since they couldn't defend against nukes Hitler forbade them" and "The wind was blowing the wrong way at the start of the Bulge". (It's kind of grasping at straws, in case you didn't notice)
-Said nuclear weapons were not just first-gen fission bombs but also nukes miniaturized to tiny sizes, 20 megaton behemoths, and an array of warheads that rivaled any postwar nuclear power given decades in peacetime.
-The American nukes were at least in part the project of German development and simply had the designs captured. Why was Little Boy not tested? Because it was a very simple design and all the mechanics were indeed tested with no need to waste a massive amount of HEU in that regard-oh, according to this book it's because the Germans already tested it or something very similar.

Evidence given:
-The existence of such projects by the Germans of large conventional bombs, bombs with radio antennas on them, and so on, all of which are folded by the author into the nuclear program.
-The author repeatedly makes a very confident (to put it mildly) claim, will footnote a source that's either flawed (like wartime reports you'd expect to be inaccurate), kooky or obscure (or all three, no doubt), then move onto the next claim. The entire book is like this.
