nazi base in antartica

anyone know anything about this i have been reading some stuff on the subject and want to see what everyone else knows about it

I think you are referring to the bases nazi-germany had in greenland and one near the north pole, but if not sounds interesting if the nazis indeed had a base in antartica. Baffles me why they would have built a base there-for what... exploration, during a war? If it was pre-war then still... what for?

This is just about impossible to believe.

Antarctica is 99.99% solid icecap where the snow just continues to build up. Around the coast the floating sea ice advances and retreats through the year. So where are you going to build your secret base ?

In some extremely small areas that are ice free, there are already Antarctic bases well established. It is just not possible to have "secret" bases down there that have not been already been discovered.

Its like saying there are "secret" buildings located in the middle of a busy intersection, that nobody has yet discovered !

I have spent a couple of years living in the Antarctic, it is a very harsh place.

I can imagine secret underground bases almost anywhere in the world, but not in the Antarctic.

I visited the Secret Nazi Base in Antarctica and all I got was this lousy tee shirt!

I read something about this in connection with the hollow earth and mole people, and how Hitler is supposedly living at the center of the earth. All the UFOs we are see come from a neo-nazi subterranean base that is somewhere in Antarctica.

Or maybe that�s just where they came out from the center of the earth, I can�t remember...

It�s a great spot for people to say the government has �x� because it is nearly impossible to verify due to lack of accessibility. It doesn�t necessarily mean that it�s not true, but common sense would dictate that it would be extremely hard to keep a base there. And if we�re playing by the rules of common sense, the whole hollow-earth thing seems almost as believable as Dulce.

This invasion of the continent of Antarctica was named �Operation High Jump� and comprised of some 4700 military personnel, six helicopters, six Martin PBM flying boats, two seaplane tenders, fifteen other aircraft, thirteen US Navy support ships and one aircraft carrier; the USS Philippine Sea (left).

It seems incredible that so shortly after a war that had decimated most of Europe and crippled global economies, an expedition to Antarctica was undertaken with so much haste (it took advantage of the first available Antarctic summer after the war), at such cost, and with so much military hardware - unless the operation was absolutely essential to the security of the United States.

I have confirmed none of this story in any way, but I remembered reading it and thought this might be what you are seeking.

Operation High Jump (Googled)

Do a search for Neuschwabenland.

There have always been tales floating around that the Germans were involved in some kind of plot to claim Antarctica as a territory, or at least use it for some kind of research or base for military operations. Little is known of these strange expeditions, but they did in fact take place.

how many threads are gonna be done on this.

I tend to agree -- this subject has been done unto death many times on this board. I realize that newcomers don't often use the search function, but it's a valuable tool because of the tons of nice research (and some ...ah... other kinds of research) on this site.

Let me suggest that you search and read some of the material here, and then you can discuss new aspects about it.
