CHAPTER
THREE:
AN
OVERVIEW OF THE GERMAN
CONVENTIONAL SAUCER PROJECTS
In this section we
will progress from saucer projects with area bsolutely factual and of
which detail is known and proceed to projects which are less known.
Several types of flying
craft we would call flying saucers were built by the Germans during the
Second World War. The exact number is still open for debate but it certainly
must vary from between three to seven or possibly eight different types.
These different types do not mean experimental models or variants of which
there were many. What is meant here is that there were very different
lines of flying machines being built in wartime Germany at different places
by different groups of people. Since more than one saucer-type may have
been produced by a single group, we will review this data group by group.
We will progress from saucer projects which are factually better known
and which deal in conventional propulsion methods and then move to lesser
known projects which deal in more exotic propulsion methods which are
less well documented and so more controversial.
