    When Science Fiction was Turned into Science Fact by the Nazis and the Soviets

    de S. D. Tucker ...

  • Nazi UFOs

    The Legends and Myths of Hitler's Flying Saucers in WW2

    de S. D. Tucker ...
    Nazi UFOs tells the strange tale of how, following the first alleged flying saucer sightings made in the USA in 1947, a series of fantasists and neo-fascists came forward to create a media myth that the Nazis may have invented these incredible craft as a means for winning the Second World War, a plan which was tantalisingly close to completion before the Allies conquered Berlin in 1945. Today, the ... Leer más

  • The Saucer and the Swastika

    The Dark Myth of Nazi UFOs

    de S. D. Tucker ...
    If only the war had lasted another six months, then Hitler would have won … because his scientists stood upon the very brink of inventing flying saucers. That, at least, is the myth as it is currently being peddled today, in books, pamphlets and online; and, if it were true, squadrons of Luftwaffe spacecraft would certainly have made mincemeat out of British Spitfires and American B-52s. But, of ... Leer más

  • Forgotten Science

    Strange Ideas from the Scrapheap of History

    de S. D. Tucker ...
    Science has a reputation as the most logical and rational of human pastimes – but this has not always been the case. From the inventor Nikola Tesla, who fell in love with his favourite pigeon and tried to broadcast his own thoughts, to the wannabe chemist August Strindberg, who injected apples with drugs to see if they could get high, numerous scientists have conducted bizarre experiments down the ...

    Our Strange Attempts to Explain the Universe

    de S. D. Tucker ...
    ‘Twinkle, twinkle, little star, how I wonder what you are …’ Are you a giant Nazi iceberg? On 4 October 1957, the Soviet Union’s famous satellite Sputnik was launched into orbit, and the Space Age began. Or did it?

  • Great British Eccentrics

    de S. D. Tucker ...
    These islands have long been a stronghold of eccentricity and peculiar behaviour. For whatever reason, eccentricity seems to have been enthusiastically embraced as being one of the defining characteristics of the British people, one of the many things that have become part of our national identity. Is it our status as an island people, set apart from the rest of the world, that has made so many of ... Leer más

  • False Economies

    The Strangest, Least Successful and Most Audacious Financial Follies, Plans and Crazes of All Time

    de S. D. Tucker ...
    When it comes to matters of the economy, have you had enough of ‘experts’ and their foolish, untrue predictions? If so, then you could read about the financial ideas of the lunatics within. At least they’re funny. Economics is often dismissed as the ‘Dismal Science’, with its prognostications frequently amounting to little more than pseudoscientific guesswork. However, you don’t need to know your ... Leer más
