The claim that 1131 tons of Belgian Uranium ore merely relate to a stockpile which German troops captured at the Olen factory in Belgium in 1940 which was recovered at Strassfurt and Toulouse after the war.

Another 1,140 ton stockpile in the Congo was handed over to the Americans by Belgian authorities in the Congo. This stockpile was shipped to USA in October 1940 and stored at Staten Island.

This still fails to account for 2369 tons of Uranium ore from Congo after the war.

The OSS was employed in all sorts of activities which still have not come to light. For example an OSS agernt was parachuted into eastern Austria specifically to spy on the underground nuclear project at Melk, also called Bergkrystall 9 (aka Quartz II)

A number of peace feelers which later became known after Feb 1945 as Operation Sunrise involved all manner of German scientists. Early peace feelers actually occured through talks in Lisbon between General Electric Corporation with General Dornberger and Dr Wernher von Braun in December 1944.

Dornberger disclosed this fact inadvertently to the British at CSDIC internment camp 11 in Wales after the war during a bugged conversation with Major General Bassenge.

Himmler knew of the peace feelers yet he was trying to negotiate his own deal by April 1945 through Sweeden, using several VIP hostages held in northern Italy.

Hitler was also aware of Sunrise and secretly supported Wolff's negotiations.

SS Lt General Karl Wolff released Himmler's VIP prisoners as an act of good faith with Dulles in Switzerland, however Wolff also demanded on behalf of Hitler, the return of Hitler's favourite adjutant Max Wuensche. Whilst in command of the 12th SS Panzer Div during August 1944 Wuensche was captured in the falaise pocket.*

On 1 April 1945 Himmler demanded Wolff explain his release of british agent "Tucker" to the Allies. Himmler was holding Wolff's family hostage too. Wolff replied to Himmler that he was acting on secret instructions from Hitler.**

On 14 April 1945 Wolff visited the Berlin bunker with Kammler to discuss Sunrise. Hitler praised Wolff's handling of the talks.

There were wheels within wheels in the closing days of WW2, Kammler secretly removed Penemunde scientists and Diebner's nuclear team from Stadtilm to Oberammergau. Hitler had previously ordered the execution of Peenemunde's engineers to prevent their capture by the Soviets. An interesting cable by Martin Bormann granted approval for transfer south however there is no clear indication of whom is transferred south.

On 27 April 1945 the BBC disclosed secret talks between Himmler and Count Folke von Bernadotte. Hitler flew into a rage and ordered the arrest of both Himmler and Kammler. On the same date Kammler arrived at the military baracks in Oberammergau, forced the commandant to release von Braun and Dornberger with others at gunpoint. Kammler then drove the engineers into hiding at Oberjoch.

This is possibly the most fascinating period of WW2 and the truth is not yet released.
