Base 211

One of the most popular ones... which has produced 20 times the amount of the investment was the March of the Penguins about the penguins down in Antarctica.

I think this is way more fascinating going to investigate the downed UFOs to the pyramids poking out of the ice in the Ellsworth Range, I know where these locations are, as well as what I think is the real crown jewel of them all, and that is the Nazi base 211.

It's in a location called the Schumacher Hills, near this series of lakes called the Schumacher Ponds, named after the pilot that blew the airplane that landed in the lake.

It was a seaplane.

And the crew went off for a week.

to go scout out the location for base 211 while the pilot schumacher was doing tests and found out that they're geothermal heated so they never freeze even in the antarctic frigid winters and the whole area never freezes what they call an antarctic oasis right there in uh part of antarctica that's always frozen under perma-ice up on the polar plateau.

It's two miles.

That's

Now, believers say it was warmed by geothermal vents, and it was basically, you know, like a, a secret harbor for U-boats, which takes us to the core of this theory.

This is where they say Germany, specifically Nazi Germany, built what they call Base 211.

Now, according to the story, Base 211 grew into this underground complex during the war, and as Germany started to lose the war, it became an escape route.

And some have alleged that the most famous person to escape was none other than Adolf Hitler himself.

Now, again, trying to separate what is verifiable from what is speculative, officially, Hitler took his own life in a bunker in Berlin on April 30th, 1945, and the Soviets reached the bunker first, and, you know, basically, you know, they kept kinda what they found as a secret.

I mean, most of these training exercises would be, like, one aircraft carrier maybe.

You're sending destroyers and aircraft carriers and submarines and tankers and planes all down there? So in their version, the real mission...

A- again, this is according to the theory, that the real mission of this operation was to find Base 211, to try to find this secret Nazi base.

Um, so but the most famous story surrounding this is, um, see, okay, this, okay, there's the, uh, base.

So the most famous Nazi Antarctica story is about this secret installation called Base 211.

Now, according to the accounts, the Germans built this hidden facility somewhere in New Swabia, possibly inside of a mountain or under the ice.

Now, some versions of the accounts mention submarine docks, geothermal heat, advanced aircraft, and miles of tunnels.

They made the study of this continent one of the main Nazi leadership goals.

And supposedly in New Swabia, they actually had a base called Base 211.

They planned to continue the war from that base.

And they continued their research on the wonder weapons.

There are stories that Nazi Germany had discovered geothermal activity and they found that there were caverns, cave systems under the ice, potentially even areas warm enough to inhabit life.

So the story goes that under New Swabia, where they found life could exist, they started developing Base 211.

According to that theory, scientists, military personnel, equipment were all moved to that area in Antarctica.

And when Germany lost the war, apparently not everybody went south.
