During the period he was formulating these observations, Witkowski visited the Institute of Plasma Physics and Laser Microfusion in Warsaw, where he was met with an incredible site, a plasma trap, having all the characteristic appearance of the Bell!
The Plasma Trap and Focus Device from the Institute of Plasma Physics and Laser Microfusion in Warsaw (From Igor Witkowski’s The Truth About the Wunderwaffe)
Incredibly, the same ceramic and rubber-mat shielding was also necessitated by the device, just as they were with the Bell.
Compelled by the evidence, Witkowski concluded that the Bell represented some sort of “trap for a plasma vortex.”74 But the Bell was different from the modern device Witkowski saw in one important respect. “It became evident that it was simply the spinning that was missing.”
Yes, plasma sometimes creates a kind of vortex, but this is usually a side effect. Nobody yet, nobody after the war – has built a “plasma focus” device chiefly for the fast spinning of heavy ions…the internal construction of every plasma is purely static. The conception of rotating or counterrotating cylinders remains unknown. Nobody has struck upon the idea of doing this!75
Thus, Witkowski was led to his final reconstruction of the Bell, and the principle of its operation and the reasons the Germans chose this peculiar method of designing a “plasma focus”:
I imagined a large, metal drum, in which a small amount of mercury was present. The drum would then be accelerated to a speed of say tens of thousands of revolutions per minute. Under the influence of the centrifugal force the mercury, as a liquid, would cover the walls of the drum creating a thin layer. After achieving the target speed a high voltage electrical discharge would be created between the circumference of the drum (the mercury layer) – and its axis - the core. Theoretically this would accelerate the ions of mercury towards the core, with a speed of many kilometers per second. But since the mercury would already possess a certain torque, in due measure of approaching the core its angular velocity would increase … thus developing an increase in rotational speed. In the case of the drum with mercury this would lead to an overlapping of the two speeds – created by a preservation of the torque and a result of the flow of electric current. From my approximate calculations it followed that by this means it would be possible to achieve a speed of the ultimate “compressed” vortex of the order of even hundreds of thousands of revolutions per second.76
And with these tremendous speeds of rotation with a plasma whose axes of rotation were all polarized (lined up in the same direction), it followed that enormous kontrabaryc (antigravitational) effects might result, since the recent physics literature indicates precisely such a connection between mass and rotation.77
But what of the transmutation part of it? Sensing that such vorticular structures are an inevitable template of matter itself, Witkowski “recalled the work of the Russian scientist Genadiy Shipov and works of the German physicist, Professor Burkhard Heim (working during the war at the Goettingen University). In all their works there was reference to changes being created in the structure of materials by artificially generated gravitational waves.”78 As will be seen subsequently, this is a signal clue that much more was involved in the Bell than a mere plasma focus trap, even one incorporating the insightful concept of rotating the active substance to achieve maximum spin polarization, a concept well in keeping with Gerlach’s interests. Except for one further observation, which we shall get to in a moment, further than this Witkowski does not go.
6. A Story from the Neo-Nazi Fringe
Amazingly, there is a story from the Neo-Nazi fringe element in North America that oddly corroborates many details of Witkowski’s reconstruction. The story is made the more remarkable for the fact that it appeared prior to the publication either of Nick Cook’s Hunt for Zero Point or of the research on which its revelations on the Bell were based: Witkowski’s The Truth About the Wunderwaffe. The story emanated from notorious “holocaust revisionist” Eric Zündel’s Samizdat Press in Canada. The story allegedly came from a “Prof. Dr. Friedrich Kuhfuss, who died in Barcelona, Spain, in exile, having never been captured by the Allies.”79
Deep among the near-primeval, dark and foreboding forests, somewhere in one of the many hilly areas of Germany, there was a secret base simply called X. To the outside world it looked like an ancient hunting lodge, perched atop a small hill. Only two meandering winding roads led up to the “Jadgschloss” as German woodsmen and small farmers of the nearby village (about 8 km distant) would simply call it…. (Their) forest area had been declared a restricted area. They were told that for the duration of the war the entire area was under the direct control of the S.S. All villagers were issued with special passes, with photographs; no outsiders were allowed to visit them and they were sworn to secrecy…. They observed… bus loads of people driving through their village, usually sombre looking men, very few women, but many of them uniformed and an exceptional number of higher rank officers.
Since there was only one Inn in the village, The Gasthaus zum Goldenen Ochsen (The Golden Oxen) occasionally some of the heavy Mercedes and Opel automobiles would stop and their occupants lunch or partake of snacks. The men behaved in a most peculiar manner.
They all took their briefcases with them to lunch, many of these cases being of a size larger than the usual German briefcase….
There was relative quiet for a number of weeks and then one day S.S. men asked the local burgermaster to call together the local inhabitants. An officer was introduced, he announced that close to the Jagdschloss an auxiliary to a concentration camp was to be set up and that the inmates were war plant workers engaged in extremely important work. Nobody was to fraternize with these people and all strangers or strange happenings were to be immediately reported to the S.S. Ortskommandatur….A few days later, truck after truck loaded with construction equipment of every conceivable description rolled through the village….
Soon loud and frightening blasts could be heard day in and day out, reverberating through the valleys. After a few months they ceased. Then huge, slow-moving, flatbed trucks began to arrive carrying loads, covered with tarpaulins all chained to the platforms and guarded by soldiers. This went on for many, many weeks. By now the whole village was rife with the most unbelievable rumours.
One night, the entire village was awakened and terribly frightened by sound of such high pitch and frequency that had commenced only as a hardly audible humming, that it was soon realized that something very unusual was happening. They rushed outside and to their utter amazement and bewilderment they saw a brilliantly illuminated “thing” hovering in the air in the general direction of the Jagdschloss. Then, just as violently as it had announced its arrival the sound died down, the light faded and the strange “thing” settled behind the treetops, out of the sight of the relieved, yet still shaken local people….Soon several of these strange vehicles, each a little different from the other, were flying about, at first slowly but later at such fantastic speeds that it was difficult to follow them with the naked eye….Sometimes, when flying so fast, they made frightful noises, big bangs, that reverberated around the valleys rather like heavy thunderclaps.
…..So, the months became years, then one day long columns of trucks clogged the roads. Since there were two roads into and out of the Jagdschloss it was difficult to know what was transpiring, but soon they knew. Less and less flying “things” were seen and soon the camp was only a shadow of its former self. One day all work ceased, tremendous explosions ripped, once again, through the valley, smoke rose from the area of the Jagdschloss and a few weeks later the Russians rode into town, unopposed, raping and looting everything in sight….Little did (the Russians) realize that in those caved-in caverns, with electrical cables and wires dangling from now damp ceilings, on the debris-littered floors, in seemingly endless halls, with strange burn marks on the concrete floors, walls and ceilings, had taken place one of the wonders of the world…only worthless bits of pieces of metal, nuts, bolts, steel ro
ds, rubber tires, some leather and some strange-looking and feeling “slacklike,” grayish substance was to be found amongst all the rubble. 80
There are a number of things that would tend to indicate that this story is pure fantasy.
First, and most importantly, the idea of SS officers openly carrying briefcases of secret research in the local Gasthaus is utter nonsense. For the loyalty-and-security obsessed SS such breaches would have been unthinkable; but, if committed by any member, swiftly and ruthlessly dealt with. Secondly, as Witkowski stated in a personal letter to this author, neither the more modern Schloss or the mediaeval castle at Fürstenstein were ever used as hunting lodges.81
But there are also a number of things to notice here that corroborate Witkowski’s reconstruction of the Bell in a general fashion, and that therefore tend to indicate that the story contains some elements of truth; indeed, it contains many elements in common with Witkowski’s history of the Bell project, a coincidence made more compelling for the fact that it predates Witkowski’s published work, and for the fact that it comes from a source with profoundly pro-Nazi sympathies. The latter point would, in fact, tend to indicate that someone, somewhere, and independent of any government, knew all about the project and what it had accomplished.
First, the story concerns a heavily forested and hilly area of Germany, which Schloss Fürstenstein certainly qualifies for. Secondly, the area, and hence the project reported by the story, were under SS jurisdiction. Thirdly, there was a concentration camp involved to supply slave labor for the construction and presumably for the project.82 Fourthly, the story indicates that a great amount of blasting occurred, which strongly suggests that a great deal of underground construction took place. As Witkowski notes, there are clear indications that the whole complex of Fürstenstein was full of tunnels and galleries constructed during the war. Fifthly, very obviously the object reported by the village inhabitants in the story gave off strong field effects, a similarity with the Bell that is all too palpable. Sixthly, it is also clear from the story that heavy electrical cabling was involved, yet another connection with the story of the Bell. Seventhly, there is the report of a “slacklike” gray substance found among the rubble, clearly recalling the reports of blackish or grayish goo that resulted from the Bell’s tests on organic materials. Eighthly, the story recounts the burning and scorching of concrete and stone walls, tending to support the idea that whatever was involved put out strong radiation, another parallel with the Bell as recounted by Witkowski. Finally, the story records the fact that the site was apparently quickly and thoroughly evacuated by the SS, along with more blasting, an indicator, perhaps, that some of the tunnels and galleries were sealed by the SS to prevent whatever that remained from falling into Russian hands. Here again, the broad outline is consistent with the story of the Bell, with the SS’ removal of the object and execution of some of the scientists and technicians involved.
However, one must weigh this against the unbelievable elements of the story. It is not only unlikely but entirely ludicrous that SS officers involved in a top secret black project would, on their “off hours,” glibly be carrying about secret papers in their briefcases or talking more or less openly about their work at the local Gasthaus.
7. Mercury Vortex Engines…Again
As was mentioned previously, Witkowski does not take his analysis of the Bell any further than to imply that it was a uniquely designed plasma vortex trap that perhaps achieved extraordinary kontrabaric effects. Those effects, if one is to believe the reports of inhabitants of the region who spoke of “flying barrels” or even if one is to credit the story from the Neo-Nazi source above, would have been so sensational that the Nazis would have given the device extreme classification.
But Witkowski is alive to the fact that the Bell might represent much more. Ending the section of his book that surveys the Bell, and indeed, ending his entire incredible book, Witkowski asks a question that leads him to consider an unlikely source of inspiration for the whole project:
(Yet) one more issue remains – how did it happen that scientists from the 1940s understood exactly where they were heading? They had applied after all ideas from XXI century physics. How is it, that they were conscious of bringing about a major turning-point? What arguments did they lay down (before the launch of work) that caused them to win the race for funds with the great and influential armaments consortiums? And they won decisively.
It seems that the whole issue is something more than just a technical problem. The unusualness of all this is summed up by the fact, that descriptions of mercuric propulsion had appeared as long ago as in ancient times – in alchemy and old Hindu books – one can easily check this. The “Samaranganasutradhara” a book at least 2,000 years old, said for example: “By means of the power latent in the mercury which sets the driving whirlwind in motion, a man sitting inside may travel a great distance in the sky in a most marvelous manner.”83
Witkowski is clearly suggesting that the inspiration for the project might have come from the SS’ preoccupation with the occult, and from its investigations of the possible scientific underpinnings in various occult and esoteric treatises.
We have encountered this theme before, and, as regards the so-called “mercury vortex engines,” shall have more to say in chapter six.
But here Witkowski ends his reconstruction of the Bell and his own speculations as to its operation and the actual goals the Germans hoped to achieve with it. In doing so, a number of significant questions remain unanswered.
It will be recalled from the foregoing presentation that Witkowski rightly understands the importance of the rotation of the mercury or Xerum-525 substance in the device. But, having once mentioned it, he never considers what the Germans may have been hoping to accomplish by counterrotation of the same substance. In short, the kontrabaric effects of the Bell are explained by one rotating cylinder. So why were there two cylinders on a common axis rotating in opposite directions? Equally important: what was their configuration? Was one cylinder inside the other? Or was one cylinder on top of the other?
A related question is this: beyond the possible esoteric and occult inspirations, what in the physics literature of the day might have formed the basis of the Lantern-Bearer Project? As we shall see, the Germans had a number of scientists other than Gerlach who realized the importance of vortices for the very building blocks of matter. Once this idea is stated, one inevitably sees the implication, for if vortices constitute the fundamental building blocks of matter, then they also constitute a template of action for the transmutation of one form of matter into another, as well as a template for a variety of other actions as well.
Yet another question to be at least speculatively answered is why the device was enclosed in a ceramic, bell-like shell? Was this choice of material, and its shape, significant?
Similarly, the characteristic sound the Bell made while in operation was like a beehive. This sound could be indicative of a rapidly opening and closing switch to pulse the device with high voltage (most likely, direct) current.
Finally, the Bell’s effects on living organisms – whatever its extraordinary kontrabaric and “temporal dilation” effects might have been – surely could not have been lost on the Germans either. Clearly they were in the presence of a phenomenon that could be applied in a variety of ways, as a means perhaps of propulsion, perhaps even of communication, and perhaps also as a weapon.
The phenomenon the Nazis had accessed via the Bell was a unified phenomenon and pointed to an underlying unified physics. The question is, what is that phenomenon? What were the Nazis after? Did they know what they had accessed?
Why does the figure of Gerlach keep popping up? Why, for example, is an expert in spin polarization, gravitation, transmutation of elements, and mercury plasma, placed in charge of Nazi Germany’s public atom bomb project? Why are his diaries still classified? Why would an antigravity device suddenly become a Wunderwaffe? What possible type of physics could underlie all these things?
Witkowski himself points the way to the theme that will guide us in the next few chapters: vortices.

2 It should be pointed out that Geoffrey Brooks’ book, Hitler’s Terror Weapons, also contains information about the Bell. Though little of it adds to the data from which to interpret its possible physics, Brooks’ book does add to the speculation concerning its whereabouts, and SS General Kammler, after the war, as we shall see.
