Thought provoking and possibly the actual reality of what UFO's are. - Rated 
Although at times the wording is particularly clumsy and there is a copy error every other line throughout (and I'm not exaggerating), "Hitler's Flying Saucers" is still very much worth the effort. In the same vain as "Man-Made UFO's, 1944-1994" by Renato Vesco and David Hatcher Childress and also published by Adventures Unlimited Press (also recommended reading by the way), I thought Henry Stevens book was actually the better of the two. He makes the case far clearer than Vesco and Childress did. I particularly admired Steven's unswerving critical analysis of the available evidence for German flying discs at the end WWII and after, and the end result of this process is a real treat for even the most hardened of skeptics. A credible explanation for the UFO sightings of the 1940's and 1950's, the Roswell crash and Kenneth Arnold's famous sighting in Washington State!!!! Sit back and prepare to be shocked! But no ET's though thankfully.........
Hitler's Flying Saucers: AGuide to German Flying Discs of the Second World War - Rated 
A difficuilt book to review.
On one hand the method appears to have some merit ( as far as it goes ) but on the other there is a great deal of speculation and discussion of next generation nazi-occult-oriented physics in the second half that the lay reader is apt to be left behind or ( worse ) accept blindly the assertions made.
The cover photographs appear too good to be true ( so are they ? )- if genuine ( how can they be verified ? ) they are of fundamental interest to 'the myth' enthusiasts.
This typifies much of what I feel about the book - an interesting read to the interested but do remember that hearsay is a different animal to proof.
Overall I enjoyed reading the book a lot but I am unsure that I can go along with a great deal of what is asserted - prove it I cry !
AND THEREIN LIES THE PROBLEM.
Interesting Read But.... - Rated 
The author takes care to initially lay out his method for backing up presented evidence and I was impressed with his writing and presentation of this fascinating subject. It does seem highly credible that the Germans could have been working on jet powered flying discs towards the end of WWII, and there's plenty of interesting documentation to support this. The second part of book I had problems with though. Wild assertions about a 'hidden' physics that creates energy from the 'ether' and anti-gravity machines to power saucers. This I find a lot less convincing. It's in the nature of science, that if something is discovered (e.g. fire, electricity etc) it gets shared around pretty quickly and used. If a way to generate anti-gravity electromagnetically had been discovered, I'm pretty certain we'd all be using it by now. I have another, more worrying, observation about this book. All the way through the author is continually pointing out how wonderful and superior the technology of Nazi Germany was. Making me suspect that the books hidden agenda and purpose is that of 'far-right' propaganda. Not a pretty thought. Still, it's worth a read. Just remember to keep your feet on the ground and your head screwed on tight whilst you read it.

I baught this book not really with an interest in the subject but, i found the author, unlike many authers on the subject, actually looks and evauluates sources and is unbiased, if a stories or sighting isnt backed up enough, heill disregard it to youre own judgement, very informative, highly recommended if you are interested on the subject.
