Nazi research & gravity

[Kumpe]

I am reading a book on a guy named Viktor  Schauberger (1885 - 1958).
Rodier, Martina. Viktor schauberger, Naturforscher & Erfinder, Frankfurt am
Main,  1999.
ISBN:  3-86150-286-0

Seems Schauberger worked on a flying machine. According to Rodier's sources
, he was in charge of asmall unit, called "Sonderkommando Wien" from summer
'44 'till spring '45. This group consisted of him, who had helped himself
into the uniform  of an SS-Oberscharführer and about seven prisoners from
the KZ Mauthausen. One of them was a man named Anton Cerny, who claimed, to
have invented the famous "Repulsine" himself.  Several sources agree that
there happened an indoor flight, in which a saucer shaped device crashed
against the cealing.  This device was  about a meter and a half wide,
massed about 135kg and was powered by an 0,05hp electro-motor (!).
1956 Schauenberger reported to German post-war politician Franz Josef
Strauss, that American Officers later on confiscated all the gear.
The book favors the point of view, that Schaubergers operation was very
small and more like his own hobby compared to the rocket building operation
of von Braun &Co. The book also focuses on the point, that  Schauberger had
only limited resources, sincehe and  his plans were reclined by Hitler
himself, during Schaubergers visit at the  Reichskanzlei in '34, So he had
to rely on minor Nazi mandarins to get some support.
At the same time it seems he was a sort of proto harcore ecologist.
Refusing almost any conventional technology since the wheel, and especially
the wheel. Interesting book,

best,
