Recalling a doc about him stating this I looked it up to see if it's actually true. It is.

5 Surprising Facts About Nikola Tesla

"5. Many of Tesla's inventions were classified.

When Tesla died in 1943, during World War II, the Office of Alien Property took his belongings, Alcorn said. Most of his things were later released to his family, and many ended up in the Tesla Museum in Belgrade, which opened in the 1950s. But some of Tesla's papers are still classified by the U.S. government.

"I know people have requested things through the Freedom of Information Act, and they are released heavily redacted," said Alcorn."

So what sort of things were discussed in the 'heavily redacted' papers? Or was it too redacted we have no idea?
 
Reading more about it, some speculate it's a death ray. But haven't we vastly exceeded anythign he could have come up in the 30s with modern lasers?

Know he was trying to figure out how to transmit electricity wirelessly. That could be something. But is anything from the 20s and 30s really still relevant it needs to be classified? We still have things classified from the Civil War, but do we really need them to be is the thing. :)
 
Well, you know how it is with the military. When Custer left to go after the Sioux in 1876, he told the people running the reservations not to do anything until they got back. They haven't. Military has not changed.
