It is still said that Nazi Germany was not completely destroyed in 1945. Part of Hitler's followers managed to escape to the end of the world, to Antarctica, where a secret base 211 called "New Swabia" was created in the system of underground karst tunnels and caves on the sixth continent. The only way to get to the new German state was by submarine. On the land side, reconnaissance aircraft and surface ships have seen and still see only a thick ice shell and black coastal rocks …
The son of the Nizhny Novgorod scientist Arkady Nikolaev, the first in the world to reach the Pole of Inaccessibility of Antarctica in 1958, told us that a secret Nazi object may exist at the southernmost point of the Earth.
"Do you think my father was sent to the Pole to put a bust of Lenin there?" - Andrey Nikolaev voiced his version. “It’s hard to believe. 13 years after the war, when the country was still half in ruins, for some reason, colossal funds were suddenly invested in my father's expedition. He took his team to the center of Antarctica in all-terrain vehicles at a speed of 5 km / h, risking falling into ice cracks several kilometers deep. They dragged a sled with diesel fuel weighing thirty tons behind them. Two people died from lung burns, because they jumped out of the cabins of all-terrain vehicles without special masks on monkey fur. Two planes were washed into the ocean off the coast. What are the sacrifices for? I do not exclude that the expedition to the Pole was a cover, but in fact the USSR, like our other allies in World War II, was looking for traces of a Nazi base there."
It is worth noting that the first to speak about the secret Nazi base was the German Hans-Ulrich von Kranz. He managed to track down a former SS officer, scientist Olaf Weizsacker, who, as it turned out, had seen the base with his own eyes. In 1938, Weizsacker got there as a research scientist, and in 1945 - already as a refugee, fleeing along with other members of the SS order.
Von Krantz found Weizsacker in Argentina. The result of this meeting, as well as many years of independent research, was the sensational book by Krantz entitled "The Swastika in the Ice."
The Germans began exploring Antarctica in 1938, when German reconnaissance aircraft flew over the continent. Taking pictures of the area from the air, German scientists, among whom was Olaf Weizsacker, found oases with warm lakes, free from snow and covered with vegetation, among the eternal snows. There they found the ruins of two ancient cities, the inscriptions on the walls of which resembled runes. These stunning discoveries, which were immediately classified by the secret services of the Third Reich, turned the world view of Antarctica as a dead country of eternal ice and terrible cold.

But the most interesting thing was not outside, but inside. According to Weizsacker, the water in the Amudsen Sea turned out to be several degrees warmer than in other surrounding waters - moreover, warm springs gushed from the coast. To investigate this phenomenon, on the personal orders of Hitler, five newest submarines were sent. Arriving in Antarctica, one of them dived under a rock and ended up in a system of caves connected to each other by deep freshwater lakes - so warm that you could even swim in them. Above the underground lakes, another tier of caves was discovered, but completely dry and suitable for living. Many of them contained traces of ancient human activity - reliefs on the walls, obelisks and steps carved into the rocks. It was a vast, habitable underworld.
I must say that Adolf Hitler believed in the ancient theory of the hollow earth, which is that inside the globe, like a nesting doll in a nesting doll, there are several lands and civilizations, which, perhaps, significantly surpass us in development. This idea completely contradicted the orthodox science that the earth consists of a continuous layer of crust, mantle and core.
Hitler took the report on the underground kingdom of Antarctica as confirmation of his theory and decided to build a system of secret cities there, later called New Swabia.
And so huge transport submarines crawled across the entire Atlantic Ocean, transporting to New Swabia stocks of food, clothing, medicine, weapons and ammunition, mining equipment, rails, sleepers, trolleys, cutters for laying tunnels. Back to Germany, the boats were loaded with minerals.
“In 1940, the richest deposits of rare earth metals were discovered on the territory of Ellsworth Land. From that moment on, New Swabia ceased to be an extremely costly project for Germany and began to bring tangible benefits,”writes von Krantz. - “The situation with rare earth metals in Germany still surprises many historians. The Reich did not have its own deposits, the reserves accumulated by 1939 should have been enough for a maximum of two years. By all accounts, German tank production should have completely stopped in the summer of 1941. However, this did not happen. Where did the Germans get the most important raw materials from? The answer is obvious: from the Ice Continent!"
According to von Krantz, by 1941 the population of the underground city reached 10 thousand people. He was already fully self-sufficient in food - a huge oasis with a fertile soil layer of 5 thousand kilometers, which was called the "Garden of Eden", was discovered 100 km from the coast. By the end of 1943, a submarine repair shipyard was completed in the karst caves. The scale of the enterprise was such that it was easy to organize the mass production of submarines there. Several metallurgical and machine-building enterprises were already operating in New Swabia. And in 1945, the base became the last refuge for the Nazis.
After the surrender of Germany, it turned out that many submarines had disappeared in an unknown direction. The winning side did not find them anywhere - not on the ocean floor, not in ports. Most likely, they sailed far south …
“A total of about 150 submarines were prepared for the great exodus,” writes von Krantz. - “A third of them were transport, with a fairly large capacity. In total, more than 10 thousand people could be accommodated on board the submarine fleet. In addition, relics and valuable technologies were sent overseas."
According to him, the submarines of the dying empire took with them its "brains" - biologists, specialists in rocketry, nuclear physics and aircraft construction. The winners never got the cutting edge in high technology. Meanwhile, on the eve of the defeat in Germany, atomic bombs, jet aircraft, ballistic missiles FAU-1, FAU-2 and FAU-3 were developed. The latter was able to reach a height that is considered outer space.
It is now reliably known that "by the end of the war in Germany there were nine research enterprises, which developed projects of flying discs," that is, flying saucers or aircraft with a circular wing. Where these developments have gone is unknown.
Working in the archives, von Krantz discovered the names of several factories that produced high-tech products, which after the war have sunk into obscurity. "All of them were evacuated on the personal order of Martin Bormann in January-April 1945 to the north of Germany," he writes. "Obviously, their further path lay across the entire Atlantic Ocean to the land of eternal ice." Valuable trophies did not go to the winning side.
Humanity has tried three times to find base 211. And all three times these attempts have tragically ended in the death and disappearance of people. Von Krantz describes them in detail in the book "The Swastika in the Ice".
In 1947, an impressive American squadron of 14 ships went to the shores of Antarctica in search of a Nazi base. In addition to the flagship aircraft carrier, it included thirteen destroyers, more than twenty aircraft and helicopters, and five thousand personnel. The operation was called High Jump, which was actually not high at all.
Flying over the coast, one of his American pilots noticed a quarry for mining. A detachment of 500 people went to this place in heavy all-terrain vehicles with air support from several aircraft. Suddenly, fighters with crosses on their wings appeared in the sky, and the landing was destroyed in a few minutes: burning aircraft and all-terrain vehicles - that's all that was left of it. Then one of the US ships was blown up - a column of water rose in its place. And all of a sudden, objects resembling flying saucers appeared in the sky!
“They darted silently between the ships, like some kind of satanic blue-black swallows with blood-red beaks, and incessantly spat a deadly fire,” - recalled many years later, expedition member John Cyerson. “The whole nightmare lasted for about twenty minutes. When the flying saucers dived under the water again, we began to count the losses. They were terrifying."
The torn apart squadron returned to America and for a long time the case was classified as "Top Secret".
The next victims were the members of the expedition Jacques-Yves Cousteau. On the ship "Calypso" in 1973, its crew went to the Land of Queen Maud with an unofficial task of the French special services - to find traces of base 211. Cousteau's scuba divers discovered an underwater entrance to underground caves and made their way there. But all five people disappeared in one of the tunnels. The expedition had to be curtailed urgently.
The USSR was the third to pay for its curiosity. We have already mentioned the 1958 expedition - it found nothing. Nova went in search in the late 70s, when aerial photographs appeared that showed large, snow-free and populated oases in Antarctica. A group of researchers was sent to one of them. We set up a camp in the oasis, and then tried to get into the mine leading into the earth. At that moment, a powerful explosion was heard, and three people were killed. A few days later, the rest of the expedition members disappeared without a trace …
Since then, the world powers have ceased to bother the mysterious inhabitants of the Ice Continent. A natural question arises - is there a base of the Third Reich now?
“There is no unequivocal answer even today, but there are more indirect ones - more than enough,” says our historian Vadim Telitsyn in his book “Hitler in Antarctica”, “Radar stations of the US Air Force, Argentina and Chile very often record“flying discs”,“cylinders "and other" geometric shapes "plying from one extremity of Antarctica to another."
The second argument for such statements is the skull of Hitler, who allegedly shot himself, which, after much research, turned out to be female. This suggests that someone needed to fake the death of the Fuhrer in order to completely confuse the tracks. What would Hitler look like in old age? On the left is the original, on the right is a computer model.
Therefore, it is possible that the Third Reich is still flourishing under the ice of Antarctica, far ahead of us in scientific and technological progress. This would at least explain the nature of the unidentified flying objects that we consider to be alien.
