    A few dozen miles south of Berlin, Germany, in the province of Brandenburg, a narrow tree-lined road weaves across scenic meadows and lake-side villages.
    Near the town of Kummersdorf, a complex of old brown buildings resembling military barracks stands at the intersection of a seemingly abandoned railway line.
    Right across from it, a barricaded road made of rough concrete blocks cuts through the thick pine forest.
    As it curves into the wilderness, strange ruins appear, lurking in the depths of the woods.
    Covered with Russian-language graffiti, these semi-collapsed bunkers can be easily mistaken for remnants of the Soviet military bases which litter Eastern Europe.
    Yet, these unmarked structures represent a forgotten cradle of the Space Age

    The strangest part of the history of Kummersdorf has been onitted from the above article (with good reason). Namely, the claims that the Germans were developing anti-gravity flying saucers there, and elsewhere!!

    That site is particularly good Annie. Seems to be well researched, without the outlandish claims made by others.

    The "Nazo UFO" spotters are probably some of the strangest bunch in the whole WW2 bag ;)
