Die Gloche, The Bell, is one such conspiracy theory, whispered stories drifting out of the fog-shrouded darkness, deep in the misty forests still occupied by the third reich. Under cover of a vast canopy of tangled branches, experiments were carried out, proof of concept forever lost inside a file cabinet labeled Top Secret, somewhere locked in a hermetically sealed vacuum of thin air.
