  • Blunder How the US Gave Away Nazi Supersecrets to Russia.Pdf
    In May 1945, as the Iron Curtain was about to be rung down across Europe, there occurred one of the worst blunders of World War II, a blunder still little understood. It involved the passing of certain extraordinary secret informa- tion from the Americans to the Russians. The incident had begun when Hitler, anticipating a "Greater-Greater Reich," recruited Nazi Germany's top scientists for the development of a technocracy far in advance of anything that the rest of the world had conceived. To oversee this crucial project, he promoted as his most trusted aide SS General Hans Kammler. Then, with the unexpected swift advance of the U.S. Army, certain of these Nazi supersecrets were suddenly in the possession of the Americans. With equal swiftness, this wealth of technological information was passed by the Americans, unaware of its significance, to the Red Army. These secrets provided the Soviets an invaluable boost to their still-trailing military research. The extent of the advantage that this knowledge gave to the Reds has not been completely evaluated. Meanwhile, Washington has resolutely suppressed all attempts to probe the story for its embarrassing truth. The mysteries clouding this blunder were compounded by the simultaneous disappearance, on the eve of Hitler's suicide, of the powerful General Kammler, whose fate remains a source of speculation. In this revealing book, a distinguished correspondent, who is familiar with the scene and the participants, explores the stories behind one of World War II's most closely guarded secrets. Tom Agoston, a veteran British correspondent, is a specialist on Germany and spent more than a decade as Chief of Bureau and diplomatic correspondent in Bonn for the International News Service (INS) for America.

    Biographical Appendix A Spiro T. Agnew (19181996) was elected vice president of the United States in November 1968, serving under Richard M. Nixon. He served as chair of the 1969 Space Task Group that developed a long-range plan for a post- Apollo space effort. The Posf-Apollo Space Program: Lhrecltonrfor fhc Future (Washington, DC: President's Science Advisory Council, September 1969) developed an expansive program, including the building of a space station, a space shuttle, and a lunar base, as well as a mission to Mars (the last goal had been endorsed by the vice pres- ident at the time of the Apollo 11 launch in July 1969). President Nixon did not accept this plan, and only the Space Shuttle was approved for development. See Roger D. Launius, "NASA and the Decision to Build the Space Shuttle, 196972," The Hasfmian 57 (Autumn 1994): 17-34. Edward C. Aldridge, Jr. (1938- ), spent his entire career in the aerospace community as a corporate and gov- ernmental official. He served as under secretary and then secretary of the Air Force during the Reagan admin- istration. Before then, he was educated at Texas A&M University and the Georgia Institute of Technology, enter- ing the Department of Defense (DOD) as assistant secretary for systems analysis from 1967 through 1972. He then went to LTVAerospace Corporation for a year. In 1973 he was named as a senior management associate in the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) in Washington. Returning to DOD in 1974, he served as assistant secretary for strategic programs until 1976.
