The attack was set for June 1945, according to transcripts of interrogations of a senior Nazi official, declassified by the FSB.
Adolf Hitler planned to use nuclear weapons against the USSR in June 1945, according to a transcript of testimony by Werner Waechter – a close associate of Nazi Germany’s propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels. The declassified document has been published by Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB).
The unsealing of the testimony coincides with the 79th anniversary of the US nuclear bombing of Hiroshima, Japan at the end of World War II.
According to photocopies of the documents related to the case of the former Nazi official, the nuclear strikes were to be carried out using “very long-range bombers capable of bombing the military construction centers of the Soviet Union in the Urals.”
In his testimony in October 1945, Wachter told Soviet investigators that he had learned of the development of atomic weapons from an Nazi engineer in 1943, who told him that German scientists had “succeeded in splitting the atomic nucleus and that engineers were developing methods and techniques for the practical use of atomic energy as a means of warfare.”
In the late 1930s, German scientists had discovered the fission of uranium atoms and made major contributions to the foundations of atomic physics. Nazi Germany was the first country to launch a project focused on the creation of an atomic bomb.
Wachter also said that, in 1945, the editor of the secret government bulletin, Hans Hertel, told him that the German Ministry of Armaments was preparing to use an atomic bomb, which it planned to equip on board “aircraft of the latest design” that were stationed at an airfield near the town of Celle in north Germany.
While Wachter said he was unsure of the precise date for the planned nuclear strike, he believed June to be the most likely time for Hitler to deploy the new weapon, especially given that Minister of Propaganda Joseph Goebbels had ordered the preparation of a special horoscope for the fuhrer for that month. The Third Reich regularly used astrology as a means of propaganda to craft predictions of future events and disseminate them among the population.
As noted by the FSB, Hitler’s plans to use a nuclear weapon against the USSR were ultimately foiled in May 1945, when Soviet forces took Berlin and forced Nazi Germany to surrender.
While Germany was the first to attempt the creation of a nuclear weapon, the project was never finished. The US, on the other hand, managed to develop the bomb by the end of the war and became the first and only country to ever use it in an armed conflict, infamously dropping two nuclear bombs on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki on August 6 and August 9, 1945 – 79 years ago. The strikes killed more than 200,000 people, mostly civilians.
The Third Reich used astrology…and so did the Reagan Administration.
Albert Speer reported that there was initially a second tier of research towards developing a nuke, but the Uranium stocks were released for other purposes, so no German nuclear bomb was ever constructed.
And here we are 80 years later with the US ‘Deep State’ now wanting to Nuke Russia. If that, God forbid ever happens, the West is going to get a very very bloody nose. You will not need astrology to work this one out. Just 3 of Russia’s biggest Nukes will take the whole of central North America of the face of the Earth and risk throwing planet Earth as we know it out of orbit. Alone in just the last 100 years or less the Poles of the Earth have shifted a little just by the amount of artesian water being used. Just 1 big nuke torpedo up the Thames in the UK will sink it below the waves when all the under lying shale central England and Wales sits on collapses, with the probability of only the white cliffs of Dover and the mountains of Scotland left above water. And dont think for a moment the MilItary Installations on Hawaii, other bases, the Vatican and complicit Euro countries will be left unscathed. If the World survives that and all the other nuclear exchanges, the population that is left will face surviving a nuclear winter from the fallout of nuclear contaminated ash, dust and pollution in the upper atmosphere that will last at least 8-10 years killing all plant life on earth along with a dead sea and ocean, what happened to the Dinosaurs. Perhaps an under ground bunker in the far northern reaches of Alaska or somewhere with at least 15 years or so of supplies of everything wont be such a bad idea after all. But that will require tapping into artesian water as well, because lack of uncontaminated water will be the main key to survival. And as for some of the so called self named ‘Elite’ building bunkers in far south NZ, well that will become their tombs. NZ is a small country by world standards and everybody knows who and what is where. The dumbot US ‘Deep State’ have to be criminally insane to ever think about nuking Russia, honestly the little white men need to come, straitjacket them, take them away somewhere and give them some sort of sedative. They can not seem to grasp the fact that those who live in glass houses should not throw stones. Russia has plainly stated they cant see a world without Russia in it. The collective sane Govts. of the World need to group and start formulating long lasting World-wide Peace Initiatives.
