Secret Nazi Antarctic Base - Fact or Fiction?

There are numerous (so called) history channels/postings on KZbin. As a major history buff I check out many of them to see what they might have to offer, and more often than not I'm disappointed.

[@aaronwilson5035]

Another great video series to consider, the Japanese invasion of Alaska, the Aleutian Islands, and rounding up the Inuits into POW camps. Also, the hundreds of bunkers built along the Washington State coastline during WWII. The bunkers are still around, I used to explore them as a kid.

[@NikolaCovic]

In the late days of war there were four German officers that were on the front lines in Yugoslavia. Since invaders controlled most of Yugoslavia still at that point, the tides of war turned. Those four officers were often visiting local tavern. They played with cards and usually they would get drunk sometimes. Since they did not know that the owner of tavern knew German they were always speaking about their plans, orders etc. Of course, the tavern owner gave all informations to the resistance. He wrote down everything he could and than send out that info by his son that was 8 years old at the time. The son luckily was not aware of what he was carrying. Owner would pack the food and in it he would put small papers with the info. The unusual thing is info about "German escape plan". The officers got more drunk than usual on the last night before liberation of that area. They were speaking how they will have to use submarines and that they had to somehow be promoted to higher rank in order to escape. They also mentioned through the laughter how they will have to bring a lot of winter clothes. Next day there was a huge firefight for liberation and those officers were never see again. Mia or Kia, nobody knows.

But of course it's hard to believe when all of it was based on an obscure line of text from random "important military person"... The Nazis did have all kinds of cuckoo projects. Like Hitler personally ordered a team to go looking for the literal Holy Grail. If you can find good material to shed light on the weird stuff, that will be very interesting too!

So the 1958 atomic blasts are the true reason for the massive hole in the ozone layer? Do a video on that Mark!

[@old_guard2431]

Thanks for the video, well done as usual. I have some observations based on two Antarctic deployments, Deep Freeze '77 and '78, aboard the Wind Class icebreaker USCGC Burton Island. (As USS Burton Island the ship participated in Operation Highjump. The U.S. Navy got out of the icebreaker business in the 1960's and gave their icebreakers to the U.S. Coast Guard. The Coast Guard generally does not get much money and therefore is always open to the concept of free ships.) Pack ice would always be a deal-killer for conventional WW2-era submarines. Loose pack could be handled - the Wikipedia article on Highjump shows a photograph of USS Sennet (SS-408) ballasted up in light pack ice. But you are at the mercy of the wind, which can consolidate the pack and make it tough going. The tumblehome formed by the ballast tanks would tend to drive a submarine under if it tried to force its way through. In addition, ice gets caught in the propellers and submarine propellers and shafts are not designed to deal with this. Deep Freeze '78 was the fourth consecutive Arctic-Antarctic deployment for the Burton Island, by that time an old ship by any standards and ancient for an icebreaker and we were overhauling and repairing engines on the fly all the way from Wellington, N.Z., south. When we hit the heavy pack, still quite a distance from McMurdo Sound, only two of six main engines were running and the pack ice stopped us dead until we could get a third engine up. A U.S. WW2 fleet sub would have the power: their diesels were the same as the Wind Class - 10 cylinder Fairbanks-Morse 38D8-1/8 with 1,600 horsepower. Four engines would be more than enough to power the much lighter (~1,500 tons compared with ~6,500 tons) and narrower hull through pack ice. But they would be driven under the pack and would lose propellers and blades fairly quickly.

Is it called airtime? Because on the air refers to live television, most notably when a host would announce to others that they are live on the air. However, KZbin’s content is not live like a television show and doesn’t premier at certain times, anyone can watch it at any point. If KZbin was considered to be air time, then wouldn’t you have to consider watching a video someone made on their phone and messaged to you as air time?

I found it odd that the two SS generals who would be invaluable in the creation of such a base both disappeared at the end of World War Two. Heinrich “Gestapo” Mueller, who oversaw the Nazi forgery project (they successfully duplicated British pound notes and were close to duplicating American greenbacks), As well as Hans Kammler, the head of the secret weapons programs. All you’d then need to supply such an Antarctic base would be a front company for export and imports (in Argentina, naturally) and a couple of quality submarines, of the Type XXI variety. I sincerely apologize for feeding into the absurd notion of the secret Nazi Antarctic base. Sorry.

All of the information in this video is based off an "official" sources. If any of the facts for and against were true, none of them would be public ally available. Especially such sensitive data. All of the suggestions as to "why if a base actually existed there, we don't know anything about it still" - You aren't supposed to, and you never will.

[@Geebax2]

With regard to the submarine incursions into Antarctica, you mentioned the use of snorkels. German submarines were not equipped with snorkels until the type 21 class were built , close to the end of the war, and by that time the Nazi regime had run out of steam and resources. In any event, a snorkel is useless under ice. A submarine cannot penetrate 1 Metre of ice anyway, so the truth is no German submarine could have got close to the bases in winter.

I don't know for certain, but as you said in your video on U530 she was badly worn, rusting all over and with the conning tower spliting; indicating she may have sailed through abrrasive waters. Perhaps she got so damaged braking through the pack ice in Antartica?

[@paulhart8814]

that was my thoughts too, plus the missing time on the travel

[@MarkFeltonProductions]

As I mention in the video, the time U-530 was lingering in Argentinian waters was winter in the Antarctic. Who builds a base that's only accessible by sea for half the year? No U-Boat skipper would go hundreds of km beneath an ice sheet. That's the essential problem with theories based on the Antarctic - its one of the most hostile environments on earth. Argentina, however, well thats another story...

[@therealunclevanya]

You brushed Operation Highjump aside too lightly, it was a very odd expedition and not linked with the Atomic explosions. There is no ice shelf where the supposed Nazi base is meant to be, so less potential pack ice and so while agree it is highly unlikely it isn't as impossible as you suggest. Desperate times call for desperate measures, perhaps until things were clearer in Argentina there was a hiding place in Antarctica? Making it about "aliens and UFOs" just distracts from a more mundane answer.

[@tigbrown4293]

The problem with the idea of an Antarctic nazi base is logistical. A base of the magnitude believed would require a constant stream of supplies.
