Flown to the falklands in the 1940's...In what??...from where..??
my knowledge of aviation and ww2 is terrible.
Is the flying in a serious error and therefore a bold indication the story is fabricated?

I'll give you a good example of how difficult it was in 1982 to fly to the Falklands from the Acsension Islands. Operation Black buck

While the story may be fabricated, the idea the Nazis found a secret warm area in Antarctica and set up a base there could be a possibility.
I do recall that Admiral Donitz mentioned how he was proud to build a sort of Shang-ri La in the other side of the world. He could be implying that he set up a base in Antarctica since Antarctica is on the other side of the world. Honestly though, I'm not sure if he really said it.
In Operation High Jump, Admiral Byrd sent a massive military force to Antarctica and it seems a bit strange for a so called scientific expedition since previous expeditions required less people.
Whatever the case Antarctica is one mysterious place.

So if it is true they must have flown in from somwhere other than the Asension Islands then.
Any closer options back then you are aware of?

Unless the plane was flown off a aircraft carrier near to the falklands, nope. If you are talking a aircraft carrier all the way to the falklands why not just skip out the falklands altogether and head straight for Antartica.

fairy easy to fly there from chile, about 3 hours flight will get you the fishing and whaling towns tthat where there in the 1900-1940s in something like a dc3. if i remember right the population used to be far larger then about 75,000 when whale products where still in demand and a fair bit of prospecting was ongoing as well.

Good point.
Also having to grin at the fact that when faced with a story about Nazi bigfoots we are questioning the crediblity of the travel arrangments.
