Still mystery ?,has anyone Info about them ?

Not 'mystery' but fiction. Can we prove that 'Dr. Franz Philipp' was not a WW1 trench-comrade of Adolf Hitler's, or the inventer of a Sonnenstrahl Triebwerke solar rocket engine, or the Greif flying disc? No. Because proving a negative is a logical fallacy. As always, the burden of proof is on those who propose the improbable. And that brings us to Rob Arndt.

I defy you to find a reference to this 'Dr. Franz Philipp' which does not trace back to 1922-1945 and Beyond - Disc Aircraft of the Third Reich by Rob Arndt. Franz Philipp was a fairly common name but Rob Arndt has been rather kindly described by Orionblamblam as a "Nazi technology fetishist".

Much of Arndt's inspiration came from papers by Andreas Epp. Those, in turn, became part of the yarn told in books written by convicted Holocaust-denier Ernst Zündel (under the nom-de-plume 'Mattern Friedrich'). But even Arndt had to distance himself from the neo-Nazi Zündel. Arndt actually believes the nonsense he spouts but Ernst Zündel did not. Zündel just filled his books with postwar Nazi UFOs flying out of imaginary Antarctica bases/Aryan breeding-camps to push his pro-Nazi twaddle.

Arndt defends his on-going fever-dreams by saying that, just because the original source is pro-Nazi propaganda, doesn't mean that all the technical details were wrong. We should avoid falling into the same logical trap. That way lies 'zero-point energy', 'mercury-ion propulsion', and 'anti-gravity' o_O
