New Book from Benàch: The 1944 German Rocket Mystery at Lake Garda

We are proud to announce the release of our latest book: “Il misterioso razzo tedesco caduto sul monte Baldo nel 1944 / The Mysterious German Rocket that Fell on Monte Baldo in 1944.” Thanks to meticulous research by our members, the story behind the remains of this unusual propulsion system (still preserved on the Brentonico plateau) has finally been clarified. For years, these relics had been surrounded by speculation and even attributed to the Third Reich’s “secret weapons.” Today, Benàch brings their true history to light.  Special congratulations to authors and researchers Pietro Porretto and Giacomo Zanetti for their outstanding work and for shedding light on this fascinating chapter of history!  For more information or to get a copy, send us a message. The English-language edition will be released in early 2026 — stay tuned!
