This dovetails with the tale of the Ilat-Litum tablets that has recently appeared on the webs. To summarize it briefly, the Nazi's allegedly found some gold tablets in Antarctica that were written in an ancient language. They found some Tibetan monks who knew how to translate them and this is what they gave us.

Real glad you posted this evp,

I knew the germans had sent teams down there in search of something mysterious and various other places like Tibet.
I have to go out soon but will give that link a thorough read a bit later. Also a few years back I had heard that the US were planning something like this but I couldn't find any info. The oddest thing I heard was that they were planning on building a bridge from Tierra del Fuego down to Antarctica.

Incidently if you haven't already listened to it, check out this interview with Klaus Dona, July 20, 2008 -- Klaus Dona Where he tells of a very strange perfectly flat obstruction within a cave system in Slovakia. Fascinating stuff and you might want to check this out too, courtesy of Ted Philips at Center for Physical Trace Research.

And talking of podcasts, the "Unravelling the Secrets" podcast, presented by long time researcher into all things Hollow Earthy, Dennis Crenshaw has Tim Swartz (author of all sorts of odd books) on the latest program dated Aug 29th 2009. They apparently chat about Admiral Byrd and his Antarctic expedition, and maybe a bit about Swartz's book on the Hollow Earth. (I've downloaded it but will be listening to it later on today so I'm not too sure what to expect).

Anyhow ... the podcast can be found here:

<style></style>Oh, yeah that stuff. I am always suspicious of first-hand accounts of weird things that read like well polished novels or speculative scholarly reconstruction. Here is an example:

"We sat intrigued as to what was being divulged; none of us had heard anything so fascinating or frightening. It was not common knowledge that the Nazis had been to Antarctica in 1938 and 1939, and even less known was the fact that Britain began to set up secret bases around Antarctica in response. The one we were to visit, Maudheim, was the biggest and most important as well as the most clandestine Antarctic base of them all. The reason for its importance was the fact that it was within 200 miles of where the Nazis had supposedly built their Antarctic base.

We sat there stunned, but still the mystery deepened. We were told about German activity in the Southern Ocean around Antarctica. We were also informed that an inestimable number of U-boats were missing and unaccounted for; but worse, some of those that had surrendered months after the War had ended fuelled even more speculation"
​

Even Kurt Vonnegut's published accounts of his wartime experiences as a young army private sound more like the memories of an ordinary soldier than something out of Ice Station Zebra, and of course Vonnegut was an accomplished public speaker as well as a very successful novelist.

Of course, the story does not add up either. You have "elite" forces of the British military, just finishing up WW2, behaving like the Keystone Kops. Never mind the "Polar Man" surviving in the bunker for God knows how long with nothing to eat but an unfortunate survivor of the massacre underground, and the other survivor not thinking to suffocate the beast in the bunker by closing off the air vents. Never mind the silly story of the hybrid "Polar Man" who was supposedly developed by the Nazis in less than ten years' time. How old was this monster? It goes on and on. Citing Pravda? Please. Kind of funny, really, but I wish it would stop showing up and fueling other fantasies. Sure, the Germans were clever and the Nazis were ruthless and insane, but none of these fantastic stories of their paranormal accomplishments ever come with a scrap of real evidence. An anonymous "sole survivor" (who cannot be named even though he has passed away) with a slick and neatly told story that makes as much sense as a 50s horror movie? Bullshit.

Obviously, something as interesting as it was secret appears to have happened in Antarctica right after the war. We know of many similar intrigues that have come to light, like Operation Paperclip, so it's too bad we don't have any reliable information about Operation High Jump or whatever other things went on there. It could be something as mundane as a frantic effort to retrieve whatever the U-boats might have spirited away to some German base as the Third Reich collapsed. Reasons to keep High Jump a secret after it was over might include its having been an atrociously expensive wild goose chase, for all we know.

Admiral Byrd was one of my boyhood heroes, and I read one or two of his books when they were well beyond my level of reading comprehension, but I loved the stuff. I would really like to find some reasonably well documented information about Byrd's activities during and after the war. The little-known "snow cruiser" that was built and shipped to Antarctica is a fascinating subject in itself, even though it reportedly sank into the snow soon after it was delivered. Anyone know of any source of other information on this subject?
 
Thanks for the link, dusty. I've only read a bit of it, and it looks like a place where some kooks might hang out, but that story is a fascinating read. I'm just now getting to the good part. It's oddly compelling, somehow, so it gets points for a good story well told, at least. :)

Edit: Oh dear, I've been had. Olaf-rolled, maybe? That'll teach me to start in the middle of some weird story. Well, it probably won't, but then if I had started at the beginning like a normal person, I'd never have enjoyed the faux-antique prose for as long as I did. I even had the brief delusion that Olaf might have been describing some amazing and mysterious place that might have possibly existed somewhere in reality at some time or other, but I was soon disabused of that notion.

I wonder how long it will be until those scamps at Google come up with a fun ride into the Land of the Giants in Google Earth.
 
Thank you Skunkape that really takes some digesting but as you know this is one strange story & must be looked at from every angle, thank god for the INTERNET.

New Swabia - History

Like many other countries, sent several expeditions to the Antarctic region in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Most of them were scientific. The expeditions in the late 19th century were astronomical, meteorological and hydrological, and took place in the Southern Ocean and on South Georgia, Kerguelen Islands and Crozet Islands, mostly in close collaboration with scientific teams from other countries. However, at the end of the 19th century, the Germans started to focus on Antarctica itself.
The first German Antarctic Expedition (1901-1903), led by Arctic veteran and professor of[, Erich von Drygalski , was the first to use a hot-air balloon in Antarctica. It also discovered and named Kaiser Wilhelm II Land.
The second German Antarctic Expedition (1911-1912), led by Wilhelm Filchner, aimed to cross Antarctica in an attempt to determine if Antarctica was one piece of land. The crossing-attempt failed before it could even be started, but the expedition discovered and named the Luitpold Coast and the Filchner Ice Shelf.
The third German Antarctic Expedition (1938-1939), led by Alfred Ritscher (1879-1963), had very different objectives, however: the main purpose was to secure an area in for a German whaling station, as part of a plan to increase Germany’s production of fat. Whale oil was then the most important raw material for the production of margarine and soap in Germany, and the country was the second largest purchaser of Norwegian whale oil, importing some 200,000 metric tons annually. Besides the disadvantage of being dependant on foreign sources, especially as it was obvious that Germany soon would be at war, it also put considerable pressure on Germany’s foreign currency assets. A German whaling had put to sea in 1937, and when it successfully returned in the spring of 1938, the plans for the third German Antarctic Expedition were initiated. The goal of the expedition was to identify a suitable area on the Antarctic coast that could be occupied in order to set up a base for the German catching fleets, and to prepare the ground for the next two expeditions, that were planned for 1939-1940 and 1940-1941. The purpose of these expeditions was to search for suitable whaling grounds and – more importantly – to manifest Germany’s territorial claims in the Antarctic. The second expedition was also to address some military issues, probably investigate the feasibility of naval bases from where Germany could control the South Atlantic, the and the Drake Passage. However, these expeditions had to be cancelled due to the outbreak of World War II.

Not a problem. I finished listening to it this morning and ... hehe I'm not sure what to think actually. It was kind of hard to listen to since Tim Swartz's volume was so low and Dennis Crenshaw's was SO HIGHHHH.

Not only that but Crenshaw seemed a bit flakey (?). The old brain isn't working so well at the moment but I'm sure he went back and forth a bit too often between there being holes at the poles and no holes at the poles.

He also said something to the effect of the whole Billy Meier thing being real. Hmmm ... anyway some interesting bits. That story Swartz told of a friend in a cavern underground was spooky, and there are still some unsolved issues regarding Byrd's trip to the South Pole with a vast number of troops.

The whole hollow earth thing still remains a very odd part of ufo lore ... if thats what it is. And somehow I don't think we're going to get the real truth of what goes on below our feet any time soon.

We really need one of those earth boring mole like devices in Thunderbirds or "At The Earth's Core" I think if we're going to answer some of these questions properly :D ... but I ain't got one and I don't think they're easily found on ebay or any catalogue you care to mention :p.
