With a critical yet open-minded approach, the author explores the origins of these tales: from the birth of the first theories about Nazi flying saucers, to the alleged secret installations near Prague, to the hypothesis that some UFOs observed during and after World War II may have been the product of advanced German technology, partly inherited by the superpowers during the Cold War.
Without indulging in sensationalism, the book also reconstructs the cultural context in which these narratives flourished, examining the links between propaganda, military secrecy, and the obsession with wonder weapons (Wunderwaffen). But above all, it reflects on why, almost a century later, the myth of the Haunebu still holds such a magnetic hold on the collective imagination.
A fascinating journey between historical truth and technological legend, it invites the reader to question not only what really happened, but also what we are willing to believe when official history remains silent or leaves room for ambiguity.
