Antartica A Nazi Base?
By
Jim Marrs
An Excerpt From 'Alien Agenda'

With the current mysterious happenings in Antartica concerning Lake Vostok,
an old theory is being resurrected -- that German Nazis as early as the 1930s
may have built a secret base at the South Pole.

While this idea undoubtedly will strike most people as absurb, there is
tantalizing evidence to suggest that something along this line might have
some truth to it.

Long-standing banking and business connections allowed high-ranking German
leaders in 1944 to forge a formidable Nazi-controlled organization for
postwar activities. Author Jim Keith wrote, "...in researching the shape of
totalitarian controlduring this century, I saw that the plans of the Nazis
manifestly did not die with the German loss of World War II. The ideology and
many of the principal players survived and flourished after the war, and have
had a profound impact on postwar history, and on events taking place today."

Orvis A. Schmidt, the U.S. Treasury Department’s director of Foreign Funds
Control, in 1945 offered this description of a Nazi flight-capital program:
"The network of trade, industrial, and cartel organizations has been
streamlined and intermeshed, not only organizationally but also by what has
been officially described as `personnel union.’ Legal authority to operate
this organizational machinery has been vested in the concerns that have
majority capacity in the key industries such as those producing iron and
steel, coal and basic chemicals. These concerns have been deliberately welded
together by exchanges of
stock to the point where a handful of men can make policy and other decisions
that affect us all."

Could one of those "decisions" have been the creation of a Nazi base
connected to the development of UFOs? While this notion may superficially
appear to be sheer nonsense, the public record offers compelling --- if
incomplete --- evidence to support this idea.

One theory is that Martin Bormann and other top Nazis escaped to South
America and on to a secret base in Antarctica where they built UFOs so
sophisticated that their secret Nazi empire has exerted significant control
over world events and governments to this day. While there can be no question
that the business and financial network created by Bormann wields a certain
amount of power even today, evidence for the existence of a major Nazi base
containing UFOs is virtually nonexistent, consisting primarily of the known
exploration of Antarctica’s Queen Maude Land --- renamed Neuschwabenland by
the
Germans --- in 1938 and some unverified statements. Reportedly, German Navy
Grand Admiral Karl Doenitz stated in 1943, "The German submarine fleet is
proud of having built for the Fuehrer in another part of the world a
Shangri-La on land, an impregnable fortress." And it has been reported that
U.S. Admiral Richard Byrd, upon his return from an expedition to Antarctica
in 1947, stated it was "necessary for the USA to take defensive actions
against enemy air fighters which come from
the polar regions" and that America could be "attacked by fighters that are
able to fly from one pole to the other with incredible speed."

Advancing the idea that the Nazis continually shipped men and material to the
South Pole throughout the war years, author R. A. Harbinson wrote, "Regarding
the possibility of the Germans building self-sufficient underground research
factories in the Antarctic, it has only to be pointed out that the
underground research centers of Nazi Germany were gigantic feats of
construction, containing wind tunnels, machine shops, assembly plants,
launching pads, supply dumps and accommodation for all who worked there,
including adjoining camps for slaves --- and yet very few people knew that
they existed."

But, while tales of a secret Nazi base in Antarctica may appear plausible to
some, the idea that a warm water location at the South Pole has remained
undiscovered and no one has escaped or deserted the place in more than 50
years stretched belief to the breaking point in years past.

But with the new revelations of 60-70 degree temperature water, magnetic
anomalies suggesting the possiblity of a hidden city or base and the obvious
backout taking place concerning current events at the pole, the idea of a
secret base is no longer so far fetched.
