 "Magnus Effect" that is, the force generated by wind on a rotating cylinder, is a strong force that is tangential both to the wind direction, and the axis of the cylinder.
  See: Baughman's Aviation Dictionary and Reference Guide - Copyright 1942, by

Harold Baughman.

  Anton Flettner did research in hydrodynamics, and then aerodynamics at Goettingen Germany. Most of his reseach papers therefore, were written in German.

An excellent reference however, was published in English as a translation. The book is rare to find, but can be found in larger research libraries, and the Library of Congress.

  The excellent reference is:

 It is the only good English reference on both Magnus Effect research, and the career of Anton Flettner prior to WW2.
