Must I remind you, the committee, of our overwhelming superiority over NATO forces before we
Julian GloverSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER

give it away?
David MeyerSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
76:07
We have played out a variety of attack strategies on the new Kulcov computer and find that a lightning thrust by ten armoured divisions from the north and by five more through Czechoslovakia lead to total victory in five days against any possible defence scenario.
David MeyerSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
76:31
This is absolute madness.
Andrew CollingwoodHOST
35:36
They had come from this background in the late 60s through to the mid-70s when there was a lot of that floating around in academia.
Andrew CollingwoodHOST
35:43
But this group had, you know, after the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1968, they'd become... really disenchanted with Stalinism and it started kind of looking around for a new way to further the leftist revolution and settled on something like Gramsci and Euro communism and as they got older they'd filtered up through all of the institutions in Britain the civil service education the police and ultimately politics as well and you had this government that that led people both within the parliamentary party and also within the civil service and the other institutions of the British state.
Andrew CollingwoodHOST
36:24
And they also saw an opportunity within American unipolarity, I think, where they understood the way the world was going.
Andrew CollingwoodHOST
36:34
It was going to be globalized.
Michael SallaHOST
4:26
Nevertheless, he did a good job in digging up a lot of information about Hans Kammler and the unsuccessful weaponization program that the Nazis and the Italians had set up for flying saucer programs.
Michael SallaHOST
4:46
Now, in my 2018 book i covered hans kamla and his efforts to weaponize these flying sources and what i wrote was quote the nazi ss advanced weapons projects under cumulus authority had failed in its last ditch effort to weaponize flying sources in time to turn the tide of the war Kammler moved whatever infrastructure and operational flying saucer craft he could before the advancing Allied armies reached the top secret SS production centers in Pilsen, Czechoslovakia, Poland, and elsewhere.
Michael SallaHOST
5:28
So that's on page 89 in my book.
Michael SallaHOST
5:32
So the Nazi SS failed in their reverse engineering program and towards the end of the Second World War, we're talking 1944, 1945, the Nazi SS tried to move as much as it could to these... areas in South America and in neutral countries and even Antarctica.
KrautGUEST
42:26
Y-M-O-V. That's the place where I researched a lot when I was still a student.
KrautGUEST
42:32
Yakimov was a gulag in Czechoslovakia.
KrautGUEST
42:34
When Czechoslovakia became a communist regime in 1948, so the first things the Soviet did as part of their partnership was they sent in NKVD agents who helped the communist regime build a gulag in the uranium mine.
KrautGUEST
42:50
where people had to mine uranium without protective gear.
KrautGUEST
42:54
And it was basically, being sent to that Gulag was basically being sentenced to death by cancer.
KrautGUEST
43:09
The Soviet Union didn't have the uranium to build its own nuclear weapons.
KrautGUEST
43:12
It was of too low a grade to be used in the building of nuclear weapons.
KrautGUEST
43:17
It would have required an enormously expensive enrichment process that the Soviets didn't know how to do and didn't have the resources to do, but the uranium in Czechoslovakia was high grade.
CliveGUEST

Pavla HorakovaCORRESPONDENT

With a population of just some 7,000, the town of Mikulov is now a heavyweight when it comes to tourism as well as its impact on the Czech cultural scene.
Pavla HorakovaCORRESPONDENT
28:39
Once a closely guarded border crossing between communist Czechoslovakia and Austria, drab and neglected by the authorities, over the past three decades Mikulov has flourished into a prosperous, open and cosmopolitan community, respectful of its multicultural heritage and proud of its generous hospitality.
Daniela LazarovaHOST
29:06
