In the early spring of 1945, Hitler approved a project to house the most valuable, secret, esoteric relics of the Third Reich. Among them was the oldest spear, now known as. According to legend, it was made from the mysterious in the III millennium BC. a certain Tubal Cain and had amazing properties.
At one time, this spear belonged to King Solomon, and in the 1st century. BC. fell into the hands of Julius Caesar, who for some heroic act handed it over to his best centurion. One of the descendants of the centurion was Cassius Longinus, who with the help of this spear interrupted the torment of Jesus Christ at Calvary.
Since then, according to tradition, the wielder of the spear is capable of fantastic deeds. They also talked about that.
The spear fell into the hands of Charlemagne, who founded it. For a whole millennium, it passed from one emperor to another, until Napoleon put an end. By this time, the spear of Cassius Longinus was in Vienna, in the Habsburg palace.
Hitler learned about this legendary spear in his youth. He repeatedly visited the museum, which became the former royal palace, and spent hours looking at the display case with the relic.
When Austria was annexed, the Fuhrer immediately appeared at the royal palace and demanded that the holy spear be handed over to him.
In 1938, Germany suddenly showed a special interest in Antarctica. In 1938-1939. two Antarctic expeditions were organized. The aircraft of the Third Reich made detailed photographs of vast previously unknown territories. Several thousand metal pennants with a swastika were dropped, thus giving the name of the land. The expedition commander, Captain Ritscher, arrived in Hamburg on April 12, 1939, and reported:
“I have completed the mission entrusted to me by Marshal Goering. For the first time, German aircraft flew over the Antarctic continent. Every 25 km our planes dropped pennants … We covered an area of about 600,000 km2. Of these 350,000 km2 were photographed, and as a result we have a fairly detailed map of the area …

But why did Germany need a distant and cold Antarctica?
In 1943, Grand Admiral Karl Doenitz shed some light on this problem by publicly declaring:. But then no one attached due importance to the words of the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy of the Third Reich.
They were remembered in 1951-1954, when an American newspaper published a number of articles that Hitler did not die in his bunker in April 1945. His double allegedly committed suicide, and the Fuhrer escaped to Antarctica on a submarine and lived for a long time there in.
Indeed, it would take thousands of search engines with ships, planes, helicopters and plus special equipment to locate this base half a century ago. And in our time, when artificial satellites of the Earth are almost constantly patrolling over Antarctica, their equipment may be powerless when trying to find a refuge covered by a thick layer of snow and ice. Moreover, it seems that no one specifically set himself such a task.
Meanwhile, as reported in one of the publications, Germany began to seriously prepare for the creation of a permanent base in Antarctica in 1938. And in mid-1940, submarines were already bringing food, clothing, fuel, etc. to the sixth continent in huge quantities. … As well as building materials, tractors, weapons … And in large quantities - radio equipment
People also arrived, including engineers and scientists. Over the next years, the construction of some mysterious shelter proceeded at an accelerated pace.
There is an assumption that in the Third Reich there was a supposedly secret formation of German submarines, which received the name -. According to Captain Bernhart, there were 35 submarines. In the port of Kiel, torpedoes and other military equipment were removed from them, since they were strictly forbidden to engage in battle during this voyage.
But they were loaded with containers containing valuables and documents, as well as huge stocks of provisions. In Kiel, the submarines received passengers, some even disguised as a crew.
Currently, reliable information is available only about two submarines from.
Captain Heinz Schaeffer was repeatedly accused of allegedly transporting Hitler to South America! True, he categorically denied this during interrogations conducted by representatives of the American and British special services.
In 1952, Schaeffer published a book called. It was a boring repetition of what he said during interrogations. But here is what Captain Schaeffer wrote to his captain Wilhelm Bernhart on June 1, 1983:.
What is known now about the mission?
According to Wilhelm Bernhart's manuscript, at the beginning of April 1945, the Holy Lance and other items, packed in six bronze boxes, were transported to the city of Kiel, and then loaded onto. By this time, there were five passengers on the submarine, whose faces were hidden by surgical bandages.
The captain of the submarine was 25-year-old Otto Wermouth, whose family was killed in the bombing of Berlin. In general, the submarine's crew was made up of those who had no relatives left.
Weermouth received two personal letters. From Hitler and from Doenitz. By order, he had to take from each member of the team. On the night of April 13, 1945, she left Kiel. At the parking lot in Kristiansand, Vermouth received a sealed package. When he opened it, he realized that the flight would be long.
Having reached the African coast, she turned to the southwest. Then I went to the Sandwich Islands. Next was Antarctica. Having reached its shores, 16 people took to the ice. They had a cargo, a map, and instructions regarding the ice cave in which they were to hide.
It was New Swabia (Queen Maud Land). This ice hiding place, marked on their map, was discovered by the Ritscher expedition in 1938-1939. The group entered the ice cave and neatly stowed boxes containing Hitler's relics and personal belongings. The first phase of the operation, codenamed, was completed. Now it was possible to return to the world and surrender to the mercy of the victors.
On July 10, 1945, two months after the end of the war in Europe, it entered the Argentine port of Mar del Plata on the surface.
As for the sub, it is believed that she carried the ashes of Hitler and Eva Braun. How much you can believe this statement, we already know.
According to legend, on April 30, 1945, the bodies of Hitler and his wife, Eva Braun, were burnt in the garden of the Reich Chancellery. When all that remained of them was a pile of bones and a pile of ashes, the SS men collected the ashes and put them in boxes. A small wooden box was brought from Eva Braun's room. It contained a small crystal ball that Eva Braun used to divine fate. It is believed that thanks to this ball, she predicted the fate of Hitler back in the 1930s. Believing her, he kept her close to him ever since.
After the ashes of Hitler and Eve had been neatly arranged in boxes, the SS men removed the sheets from the luggage they had brought. The charred corpses of a man and a woman were found under the sheets. They were placed in the same hole in which Hitler and Eve were recently cremated. It is known that with two sealed boxes, Arthur Axman (Hitler Youth) safely left Berlin. In the Norwegian port, two bronze boxes were moved aboard the submarine. Its cargo compartments contained two boxes, one containing ashes and the other containing a container that, according to testimonies from some former SS men, contained Hitler's semen.
The renowned doctor Mengeleuzhe, much later, fertilized specially selected Aryan women with the sperm of Nazi bosses.
Repeating the well-known route, calling into Antarctica, on August 17, 1945, the submarine also arrived at Mar del Plata, where it surrendered to the Argentine authorities. Here is Wilhelm Bernhart's version.
did not heed Heinz's request. And somewhere out there, in Antarctica, those mentioned above were stored for decades. True, this version is very different from the one that Vermouth and Schaeffer proposed to American investigators. But does this mean that the second version is final? There are quite a few oddities and inconsistencies, even if we take it at face value. First, where did the mysterious passengers of these submarines go? Why were so many products taken? What was the role of the third submarine in this entire operation? Finally, was there really a meeting, as former SS officers say, with a Soviet submarine, on board which were supposedly high-ranking representatives and atomic scientists from the USSR? Was there then a transfer of technical documentation on German atomic weapons?
Most likely, the Hitlerite authorities were not at all going to climb so far and into such cold regions. It could well have settled even closer - on the South American continent. It is said that even five years before the end of the war, the visionary Bormann chose Argentina as a possible evacuation.
It was organized, the funds from which were intended for intelligence activities and assistance to the Nazis settling in the new country. According to the Americans, in 1945 there were 400 million dollars on the account! Experts believe that at least $ 20 billion was transferred to Argentina.
Given the numerical strength, we can conclude that there was someone to carry gold and valuables to Argentina and Patagonia!..
But all this makes the submarine story even more incomprehensible.
Indeed, upon arrival at the place of internment, both Vermouth and Schaeffer, falling into the hands of the special services, presented their first versions, which did not stand up to criticism at all. You have to know absolutely nothing about the personnel of the special services to believe that they so easily believed such a thing! After all, any special service will always have funds. And then it turns out that they are just the most impudent lie, they let themselves be fooled ?!
Indeed, with the alleged landing area of Queen Maud of the people of Vermaut and Schaeffer, there is perhaps one more, according to researchers and analysts, more surprising mystery. This is the mysterious expedition of Admiral Richard Byrd, known by the code name.
Drawing up plans for the expedition coincided with the end of the interrogations of the former commanders of German submarines and - Vermaut and Schaeffer. But the expedition began only on January 27, 1947. At his disposal, the admiral indicated quite impressive forces: an aircraft carrier, 13 other ships, as well as 25 aircraft and helicopters of carrier-based aviation. In total, the expedition consisted of more than 4,000 people! All this armada after some time dropped anchors off the coast of Queen Maud Land. In the beginning, the events developed successfully. The researchers took about 49,000 photographs of the coast. Then something strange happened. In February 1947, the operation was abruptly curtailed.
A powerful naval squadron with a 6-8 month supply of food unexpectedly returned. And from that moment on, Admiral Byrd's expedition was surrounded by a veil of secrecy.
However, in May 1948, a European magazine published a sensational article claiming that the expedition had not returned in full force. That at least one ship, four planes and several dozen people were there shortly after the squadron reached Queen Maud Land.
It is also known that Admiral Byrd, upon his return from Antarctica, gave lengthy explanations at a secret meeting of a very high-ranking commission, which included not only representatives of the US Navy command, but also government officials. And Byrd allegedly admitted that the termination of the expedition was caused by actions.
The ubiquitous journalists claimed that Byrd literally stated the following:
In the late 1980s, judging by the film, additional information was obtained about what happened during the expedition … The Germans allegedly managed to build it and used it for their own purposes. Back in 1939, top-secret test flights of new ones began. One was additionally equipped with jet boosters, which led to a disaster that occurred in Norway in the winter of 1940.
As for the version regarding the base in Antarctica, then its existence in wartime is quite possible to admit. The Germans were masters at creating such shelters. They set up a jump airfield not just somewhere, but in our Arctic. And based on it, they shot down planes that were ferried to us from the United States through the Far East under Lend-Lease. The remains of this airfield were accidentally discovered beyond the Arctic Circle only in the 1970s.
As for the bases for submarines, even in the First World War, the Germans scattered them all over the world. At one time, Canaris himself was engaged in this, at that time he was not yet the chief of the Abwehr. During World War II, one of these bases could be located somewhere in the area of Queen Maud Land. We fully admit this, because the plans of the Nazis included the construction of much deeper and more hidden shelters …
It is known that Hitler had an obsession with building underground bunkers everywhere. In one of these hideouts in the center of Berlin, he ended his days. But where did she come from, such an obsession? It turns out that it was based not only on the rather sensible idea that only underground it is possible to hide from the bombers of the Allied forces.
<Two theories flourished in Nazi Germany - the ice world theory and the hollow earth theory. These theories are two explanations of the world and man. They come close to ancient legends, justify myths, unite a number of truths defended by theosophists, writes Y. Bondarenko in his work. - These theories were expressed with the help of the large scientific and political apparatus of Nazi Germany. They had to expel from the country what we call modern science. They reigned over many minds in Germany>.
Moreover, they predetermined Hitler's well-known military decisions, at times influenced the course of the war, and undoubtedly contributed to the final catastrophe. Fascinated by these theories, in particular the idea of a sacrificial redemptive flood, Hitler led the entire German people to disaster.
The theorist of the doctrine of eternal ice was Hans Herbiger, whom Hitler supported, believed and believed. Hitler and Gerbiger,, have met many times. The leader of the Nazis listened to this learned visionary with awe.
So what is the essence of this? First of all, it draws its strength from an all-encompassing vision of the history and evolution of the cosmos, explains the formation of the solar system, the birth of the Earth, life and spirit. It describes the entire past of the universe and heralds its future transformations. Everything is based on the idea of an eternal struggle in endless spaces, a struggle between ice and fire, between the forces of repulsion and attraction. This struggle also reigns on Earth over living matter and determines the history of mankind. Gerbiger claimed to have revealed the Earth's most distant past and its even more distant future. He introduced the most fantastic concepts about the evolution of living beings. He overthrew all the existing theories about the history of civilizations, about the emergence and development of man and society. He presented his view of the history of the development of civilization not as a long ascent,but as a whole series of ups and downs.
Gerbiger's other idea of the underworld continues to be perfected with a tenacity worthy of better use.
The Germans not only built a huge number of bukkers, underground factories, but also thought about creating a kind of refuge in the bowels of the Earth. Moreover, there is an assumption that to fulfill their dream they tried to use one of the inventions of their teachers from the USSR. Namely, the invention of the engineer A. I. Trebelev. … Further Trebelev said that the model of an underground boat - - was tested at the Goroblagodatsky mine, having made a tunnel about 40 m long in the thickness of the Grace Mountain. The boat's crew consisted of three people. One of them - the driver - should be inside the boat, controlling its movement; two others - a mechanic and a locksmith - were preparing the apparatus for operation.
Judging by the fact that the latest information about it dates back to the early 1950s, its tests did not give satisfactory results. But we have it. And who knows what success the stubborn and pedantic Germans could have achieved? After all, we borrowed many samples of earthmoving equipment, including tunneling shield, from them.
After the war, in 1948, another Soviet engineer, M. I. Tsiferov received an inventor's certificate for the invention of an underground torpedo, an apparatus capable of independently moving through the earth at a speed of 1 m per second. (For comparison: the speed of the Trebelev unit is 12 m per hour.) Tsiferov proposed a method of drilling using a hidden explosion. To do this, he designed a special drill head that resembles a giant drill. Its cutting edges were two radial slots. This was followed by a powder compartment, which contained a charge that exploded from an electric fuse. At the time of the explosion, the powder gases created a pressure of 2-
3 thousand atmospheres! With tremendous force they burst out of the narrow slots of the head, their jet streams rotated the drill. As soon as one checker burned out, a new one was fed from a special compartment through a bolt, similar in its structure to a gun lock.
With the help of such a drill, as calculations have shown, it is possible to go 12 km deep into the Earth. Why not more? The rod or cable on which the drill hangs can break off at great depths of immersion, unable to support its own weight. M. I. Tsiferov also suggested an underground … rocket It was to burn and push the soil out of the well being drilled. To be honest, we do not know where Tsiferov got his ideas from for his designs. Maybe he did it with his own mind. Or maybe the idea is, so to speak, a trophy.
According to one version, the Fuhrer fled through a huge hole in the Earth - to the other side of the planet, which, according to the supporters of the theory, is considered quite habitable and habitable. As wild as this version may seem, several confirmations can be found for it. It is known that the Nazis, overwhelmed by the idea of world domination, sought support in various occult beliefs, astrology and the predictions of Nostradamus. According to them, at both poles of the planet there are huge and carefully disguised holes that lead to the inner surface of the Earth. According to members of the Canadian Hollow Earth Research Society, they are still there. As proof, they cite the fact that at the end of the war in Italy and Germany, more than two thousand outstanding scientists disappeared, who, in their opinion, were needed by the Nazis. Disappeared without a traceand without the help of concentration camps, and a million people, most likely needed by Hitler as a labor force. Nazi theory also explains the huge number of unidentified flying objects that appeared after the 1940s. Before that, they were extremely rare. According to eyewitnesses, often the pilots of flying saucers did not look like gray or green men at all, but had a truly Aryan appearance. Canadian scientists even have photographs confirming their theory, and believe that the Nazis came into contact with a highly developed civilization living in the center of the Earth, which allowed them to secure physical immortality.

Of course, it is difficult to believe in the reality of such hypotheses. But be that as it may, the mystery of Hitler's death still remains one of the most mysterious legends of the 20th century.
