Book Description In 1945, a mysterious Nazi secret weapons project code-named The Bell left its underground bunker in lower Silesia, with its project documentation, and the 4-star SS general Hans Kammler. Taken aboard a massive six engine Junkers 390 ultra-long range aircraft, The Bell, Kammler, and all project records disappeared completely, along with the gigantic Junkers 390 carrying them. It has been speculated that it flew to Argentina. As a prelude to this disappearing act, the SS murdered most of the scientists and technicians involved with the project, a secret weapon that, according to one German Nobel prize-winning physicist, was given a classification of decisive for the war -- the highest security classification. Offered here is a range of exotic technologies the Nazis researched, and challenges to the conventional views of the end of World War Two, the Roswell incident, and the beginning of MAJIC-12, the government's alleged secret team of UFO investigators.
The Truth is Out There, just not specifically hereJuly 23, 2008 0 out of 2 found this review helpful
The Truth is Out There, just not specifically here Nazis, secret weapons, aliens, assassinations, strange science, Tesla, mysterious UFOs, dark conspiracies and the always popular secret societies, are just a few of the many esoteric subjects covered in Joseph Farrell's entertaining The SS Brotherhood of the Bell. If you like page after page of the strange, weird, and sometime outlandish then this is the book for you. Mr. Farrell roams the esoteric conspiratorial landscape at will connecting dots and making amazing suppositions. He backups much of his ideas with "interesting" facts that border on the questionable and stretches the credulity of a rational man. Some of his suppositions are doubtful but thought provoking. He ranges far afield from the always contentious and enigmatic JFK assassination, to Nazi UFOs, to Martin Bormann being Adolf Hitler's puppet-master. Wow, each page brought another conspiracy, weird science and history mystery. By the book's conclusion only Big Foot and the mysterious face on Mars were sadly left out. But the biggest mystery of all was not covered: Just what the heck was the mysterious Nazi "Bell" and what did it do? I guess that enigma will be cleared up in Mr. Farrell's next book?? Like a Flash Gordon Saturday serial standby for another installment: "The Bell tolls for thee". Note: Nick Cook's The Hunt for Zero Point is a more informative read on this subject in my opinion.
Factual and EmpiricalMay 17, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
The common problem I see with the UFO community - and the public in general - is that a distinction must be made between UFO's and ET's (Extra Terrestrials), as I'm sure we are all aware, the definition of `UFO' has nothing to do with ET's. I myself have always thought that the majority of sited UFO's are merely tricks of light or meteors and so forth, but one can not legitimately dismiss the few genuine sightings of `Unidentified Flying Objects'. I have always thought that these genuine sightings are of UFO's are secret military aircraft. This assumption was validated after I recently finished reading "The SS Brotherhood of the Bell" by Joseph Farrell. This work by Farrell really shocked me with the extremely factual and empirical structure of his book, and together with his authoritative style and aura one is left with little choice but to believe that UFO's do exist and were developed by humans over 50 years ago! As amazing (and at first hand, absurd) as this sounds, once you see the documented evidence you are left with no other conclusion!
Farrell basically makes the case that Hitler's Nazis developed, amongst other technologies, various craft that were indentified by the public as UFO's, flying saucers ect.... The Nazi's used various propulsion systems which evolved from the mundane to the extremely exotic. This technology was subsequently picked up by both the Soviets and the US following the fall of Hitler's war machine. And all the evidence presented by Farrell indicates that the exotic technology was further developed by these two nations.
When one first hears of the Nazi connection to UFO's one is quite sceptical, but as one realizes the undisputed - and largely unknown - advanced technology that Nazi Germany undeniably had, suddenly the idea of supersonic exotic flying discs seem a lot more plausible. And Farrell goes to a large amount of trouble to educate the reader from the start about the advanced technology that the German scientists had actually achieved. And as Farrell makes clear from various military documents, had the allies not defeated Hitler's army when they did, the tide of the war would have irreversibly turned due to the advanced war craft that was starting to be rolled out ready for combat by Nazi Germany, for land, air and sea.
Farrell goes to an enormous amount of trouble to give the reader a background understanding of the physics that is the thesis of Farrell's book; that is the "Bell". Farrell discusses everything from suppressed "Scalar" physics, to the workings and classification of every type of nuclear weapon, to the Soviet vs US space race and the technology behind it, to the possible connection with JFK and his assassination, and the shady dealings of NASA under the control of a former Nazi scientific heavy weight (and yes, a former high ranking Nazi scientist was head of NASA!) and all sorts of topics which on the surface seem totally unrelated and absurd. But all this information is required to fully appreciate and comprehend the thesis of Farrell's work. Even if one is to disregard Farrell's main thesis, one will still gain an extraordinary amount of general knowledge from this work.
Farrell doesn't believe that UFO's have anything to do with ET's. Though Farrell is fully open to the existence of ET's, he see's no reason what-so-ever to suggest that any UFO's are of ET origin. All of the evidence and data regarding UFO's suggest that it's required technology is not exotic enough to demand the inclusion of ET's in the picture. Farrell believes that the required technology is fully within our grasp, and he makes an extremely convincing case.
Beware, this book opens a can or worms like I have never witnessed before. Every chapter leaves you wanting to know more, but considering the already large size of the book, only brief glances over many subjects were possible. Thankfully at the end of the book (well the edition that I have anyway) is a list of a couple dozen books that will quench your thirst for more. I found this book so enthralling and informative that I will probably read most of the further reading that is supplied at the end of the book.
Highly recommended!

Farrell continues investigating the "missing" history surrounding the Nazis and World War II started in "Reich of the Black Sun." With his usual precise methods and meticulous balance, he continues to astound with further depth and revelations about this subject.
What do the deaths of General Patton and JFK have to do with Nazis and UFOs? How are UFOs related to secret Nazi war research and current "black projects?" Were NASA and the CIA filled with Nazis? How are ancient history, the SS, fringe physics, South America, UFOs, Guy Bannister, Antarctica, global corporations, the Thule Society, Oswald, NASA, the Bunge corporation, and Danny Casolaro's infamous "Octopus" all connected?
Curious?
This book takes up the thread of these and related questions he began exploring in "Reich of the Black Sun," taking the reader through more of the same unpleasant terrain to some equally unpleasant conclusions. Farrell includes his usual heavy doses of science along the way.
Farrell unearths fascinating ideas and information, linking them to threads of science and history. One must read in depth to appreciate the amount of detail and knowledge presented in his books, as well as the depth of insight and perception of the author. I recommend all of Farrell's books, and this is no exception.
Weird (nazi) scienceFebruary 8, 2008 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
"The SS Brotherhood of the Bell" is pretty interesting book, especially if you are a conspiracy buff or just interested in "what could have been" nazi science. However, the main problem in this book is the lack of credibility, especially when it comes extensive use of internet-based sources. But still, the book remains objective enough - including some critical (and much needed) analysis of specific authors and theorists on the nazi-esoterism and (pseudo)science.
hell's bellJanuary 25, 2008 7 out of 9 found this review helpful
Really enjoyed book. Fun to read. Author uses many resources from other authors/ researchers. But a good ride, I didn't mind a little speculation here and there. Stuff on Kennedy vs. the Nazis was intriguing. He wasn't afraid to go places and those places were entertaining. Actually appreciated the quantum physics lessons throughout. Scalar tech was also a "blast". Couldn't help but visualize hellboy (the movie) scene and think: oh, that's where they got the inspiration. It seems plausable that such events happened in the 40's (God knows today) and that is fascinating.
