I did not read the site you gave a link to. I did look at the pictures though and they were blurry. I didnt see any pictures of the base.

They tried again during the cold war when they wanted as did the russians to try and get ICBM's there for faster impact times
All this was speculation never proved.

One point; If ICBM's were located in Antartica (south pole) it would have taken a much longer time to reach the former Soviet Union - not a shorter time.
That said, It is true that Admiral Robert Byrd led an expeditionary/invasion force into Antartica in 1947 and the force sustained losses; Whether those losses were due to adverse weather conditions or hostilities the fact remains that a combat ready force was indeed taken down there.
Admiral Byrd is also credited with stating that it was "necessary for the US to take defensive actions against enemy air fighters which come from the polar regions" and that the US could be "attacked by fighters able to fly from one pole to another with incredible speed."
This certainly gives one the impression that there could be some truth to the Nazi propaganda referring to a base in Antartica as well as feed speculation on Nazi engineered UFOs.
There is countless information on this subject to be found on the internet, and my school of thought prefers to follow known facts and then take those facts flavored with the most plausible unsubstatiated assertions to a logical set of conclusions.
Could the Nazi's have established a base in Antartica and kept it both secretive and operational for over 50 years? One would think not, but consider that the Nazi's in Germany had underground research factories that were great feats of construction and engineering, containing winding tunnels, machine shops, assembly plants, launch pads, supply depots and accomodations for all men who worked there - and yet very few people knew that these facilities existed until the end of the war.
Now "white world" scientists are finding 60-70 degree water temperatures in certain locations and magnetic anomalies suggesting the far-fetched possibility of a hidden city or base...
Also since the end of WW2 there has been wave after wave of UFO sightings - in all parts of the world but especially the US and south America. Makes one wonder if there might be a connection.
This is certainly an interesting thread and I look forward to seeing what others have to say...

That is totally false. The expeditionary force returned in the shame shape as it had originally left the US with NO casualties. There was NO attack or combat of ANY sort. Admiral Byrd may well have been 'credited' as saying there was, but he was credited falsely. Now you have to ask yourself why this was and who it suits. Answer: only those purveyors of this Nazi/UFO Antarctic base nonsense.
This is just another case of people taking Internet rumour as fact without even bothering to check anything out for themselves.

Accordingly to the link which you provided, there were in fact four deaths and some injuries, mainly from the crash of a PBM. A helicopter was also lost, both in accidents. There were apparently no combat aircraft aboard the carrier USS Philippine Sea, only six modified R4D transport aircraft (DC-3 variants) plus the helicopter. There would have been no room on deck for fighter aircraft, presumably, and the crew was also inexperienced and the ship brand new - hardly something you'd send into a combat zone.
