[edit] Electrical air turbine

Another fictional device covering as military history, sponsored by "Ice Reich" (in cooperation with RexResearch this time). Sorry, this is complete nonsense and should be deleted as such per WP:V and WP:RS. The SS achieved this by building a reciprocating engine which used atmospheric oxygen to oxidize atmospheric nitrogen -- brave SS, only that this reaction is endothermous and will drive nothing. --Pjacobi 07:41, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

Compare Jenseitsflugmaschine, Pirna Disc, BMW Flugelrad, Haunebu and their AfD discussions. --Pjacobi 07:44, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

• Strong Delete per nom, per WP:BALLS and WP:BULLSHIT. RGTraynor 08:18, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
• Strong delete, complete nonsense. That second link was good for a few laughs, though. --Coredesat talk. o.o;; 08:51, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
• Comment: I'm not an expert on WWII Germany, but aside from horrific medical experiments, was the SS even involved in scientific research like this? -- Kjkolb 09:37, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
• Strong delete: pseudo-history if I've ever seen it. I've noticed many of the above listed articles have
  • Justo Miranda, Ted Nomura, James Lake, Luftwaffe 1946 Technical Manual #1: Projekt Saucer,(1998), Antarctic Press
  • Justo Miranda & P. Mercado, Reichsdreams Dossier #10: German Flight Discs,(1998)
  • Robert Arndt, Disc Aircraft of the Third Reich (1922-1945 and Beyond),(2005), Ice Reich Productions

as part of their references. Should we consider every article listing them as being tainted? If so, Focke Wulf Schnellflugzeug and Arthur Sack A.S.6 need to reviewed too. (comment by Netsnipe)

AFAIK, the AS6 was the only real one of these, and BTW didn't look very UFO-like, see de:Sack AS-6. The case of the Focke Wulf Schnellflugzeug is under investigation. --Pjacobi 21:29, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

I've found Luftwaffe 1946 Technical Manual (Paperback) on Amazon [1] and guess what: "This entertaining (and thought-provoking) technical manual offers readers the lowdown on the scientifically advanced World War II aircraft from Ted Nomura's critically acclaimed alternate history series." Just wow. I've just gone through Wikipedia using Google and now weeded out every mention of Luftwaffe 1946 and mentions of "Ice Reich". --  Netsnipe  ^(Talk)  07:38, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

In case anyone else is uncertain about what "alternate history series" means, it looks like it was created for entertainment, not as a coverup exposure/conspiracy theory type of thing. -- Kjkolb 03:34, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
