Background The mystery of “The Nazi Bell” or “Die Glocke” is only
surpassed by its reported potential. The Germans had the
knowledge to build an atomic weapon in Otto Hahn, the chemist who
first split the uranium nucleus in 1938. The next year the Nazis
had control of Europe’s only source of uranium ore when they
acquired the mine at Joachimsthal while invading the rest of
Czechoslovakia. But was The Bell a device to aid them in
enriching uranium-238? Many researchers of The Bell believe it
was it’s own research project and given an even higher Top Secret
classification than their atomic weapons program. When Germany
surrendered in 1945, it was evident they were not able to bring
their atomic weapon development to a successful conclusion, but
was this because they were much more focused on creating a
machine that would be a far greater solution to their goal of
world domination, and did they fully know what they were dealing
with? The glimpse inside Pandora’s Box is always both wondrous
and deadly. Of the many questions surrounding The Bell, the two
most important remain: If it exists today, where is it? And if
it’s still being researched, could it, like uranium, change the
world as we know it?
