Schatzgraeber: The Nazi's Secret Arctic Base

A weird story about the Nazis setting up a base in the Arctic, only to abandon it in 1944. Were they seeking mysterious and occult artefacts?

    The naming convention of the Island is consistent with German war time naming conventions of the time. They tended to name projects in misleading ways to try and confuse their enemies to what is actually happening. The Ratte tank was named such to make the Allieds think it would be small tank. The concept in fact was so large that the thing would have been fitted with ship mounted guns. So the treasure digger name for a weather station seems to fit.

    Simon, I’m a bit surprised that you didn’t know that whale oil was the precursor and substitute for petroleum oil, Germans may have used it for margariune, but they probably used it as a petroleum substitute during the war. Germany did not have much in the way of oil deposites, so running out was a constant worry. They did have allies in the middle east that they could buy it from, but without a direct pipeline and with Allied warships patrolling the seas, it wasn’t easy to supply Germany’s wartime needs.

    Curiously, the oil from the sperm whale was also a vital ingredient in early atomic bombs. If you imagine how they work, you have a slug of uranium being explosively driven into a ring of another (to create a single atomic mass) and for whatever reason, sperm whale oil was the oil that worked best at lubricating that cannon system and was least susceptible to burning off or whatever

Wendigo psychosis (and other cryptid related psychosis, there's also werewolfism and fox possession) 5. The only case of suicide by radiation poisoning (Kyle Hill did a more serious version of this one as part of his "Halflife Histories" segment, which I highly reccomend) 6. The cult that tried to rig a small town election... with botulism. 7. Tracing HIV (and proving once and for all it wasn't made by the CIA). 8. Bizzare burial rituals intended to keep the dead in their graves... Ideas for Into the Shadows... 1. The Brain Eating Amoeba 2. That time a bunch of scavengers trailed radioactive cesium all over their freakin town... 3. The cult that tried to rig a small town election... with botulism. 4. 5 Bizzare cancers (the man who caught it from a patient, the thousands of years old dog tumor that spreads from pooch to pooch, the zombie tumor that reanimated, the tapeworm tumor and i'm forgetting one, so surprise me) 5. The strange case of henrietta lacks 6. the syphalis experiment 7. Phase changing bacteria (staph, cholera and siphalis are likely examples) and other bizzare microbial mutations. Please excuse the number of into the shadows ideas, I prefer dark shit to strange shit but I find you shitting on conspiracy theories to be oddly satisfying shit. Also cussy cusswords are cussy.

    Fun Fact. The 45th Infantry Division in the US Army (national guard unit whose lineage continues as the 45th Infantry Brigade of thr Oklahoma National Guard) had a yellow swastika on a red diamond as its unit patch up until 1939. The swastika is/was a native America symbol in various Native American cultures. After the rise of the nazi party the 45th changed their patch to a yellow thunderbird on a red diamond to keep the units ties to Native culture and several units in the 45th Infantry use Native languages for their mottos as opposed to Latin, French, or English in most units. Bonus facts some of the oldest National Guard Armories in Oklahoma that predate WW2 and the 45th Infantry Museum in Oklahoma City still display the swastika patch along side the Thunderbird patch. They do this to counter the nazi perversion and co-opting of a peaceful symbol import to several cultures in the United Statea and around the world.

    It was widely used in places like Oklahoma with strong Native American roots. There's a restaurant in Miami, Oklahoma in a very old hotel which has swastikas in the tile of the entryway. There's also a saddle in the collection of the J. M. Davis Gun Museum in Claremore, Oklahoma which was locally made around 1900 and is decorated with swastikas. It's unfortunate that the Nazis irredeemably contaminated such an ancient symbol of good luck and prosperity.

His mom had been assaulted at 18 and he was the result. He never let their past hold him back tho. He worked hard to get into medical school in Manilla. He met a woman who believed in him and they emigrated to the US where he joined the navy. He ended up having 5 daughters.. After 3 daughters they tried 1 more time for a boy and ended up with twin girls. Once he became a doctor then flight surgeon, he moved his mother and widowed mother in law here. Hes a great man and I was thankful he was my doc.

    The Nazis didn’t get the swastika from the Norse specifically. It’s an Indo-European symbol, which is why it also pops up in India. I’m pretty sure it has had meanings all over Europe, so calling it a Nordic symbol is…I guess accurate, but incomplete. In 20th century Germany, after it getting discovered all over Eurasia, people began linking it to the Arian race. Therefor the Nazis used it to signify their continuation of said race’s rule. However, after looking it up just now, I’ve realised that even what I just said is incomplete, as it was even used in the ancient Americas, meaning it’s either MUCH older than the Indo-Europeans even or it’s simply a fun, quick, archetypal shape that people for some reason always seem to connect very big and important concepts to, which seems even more insane in a way.

    Swastika is widely used in Buddhism, and you can easily find them in Buddhist temples all over Asia. but usually they are horizonal and vertical lines and going counter clock wise direction, rather than tilted 45 degrees and going clockwise direction like Nazi version.

However, at 7:16 you are talking about "Germany" in WW2 and you show a modern German flag, which is the flag of the Federal Republic of Germany. This represents the exact opposite values to the Third Reich; please don't mix up our flag with its predecessor.

    Did anyone else get the impression that Simon had little to no clue that this secret In the artic circle (i.e the north pole as he reads numerous times) is not the mythical Nazi base in the antartic (i.e the Southpole) that based on how he reads seems to be under the impression of. 8:55 Simon stops reading script goes off on random tangent suddenly back to secret nazi base in antartica, goes back to reading script about nazi weather station in the artic circle. (the otherside of the world)15:11 Simoon is still under the impression we are talking about a secret antartic base as opposed to the artic circle weather base youtube robots please monetise this video and ignored the confusing contradiction of information. Dear Simon Artic Circle Weather Station run by Nazi's basis of today's script, Mythical base/fortress for the Nazi's to create a 4th reich and work secret knowledge/weapons of the Gods/Aliens whatever take your pick in the continent of Antartica not the basis of today's script just saying repeatedly 22:57 Have high hopes Simon may realise whats going on. (Although he is still reading from the script so I am unsure) Conclusion: Theory 1 at some point through out one of Simon's many tangents he realised his mistake but immediately ceased to care due the KZread Demonetization Bots (lets hope they don't have a missing friend named Kyle). Theory 2 Simon is still Oblivious despite the script explicitly explaining the difference between the two stations and there actual purpose and the conspiracy theories. Theory 3 Simon stopped caring the moment he read the word Nazi and prophercised the inevitable marching forward of the KZread Demonitisation Bots (Goose stepping all over Simons capitalist little heart) Theory 4 at 30:18 he realised but the video had already reached its natural conclusion. May we all find secret bases surrounded by notorious symbols that change position between the poles at random intervals that were built with absolutely no lame rational or reason and suddenly realise "It was the Aliens" all along.

    Many years ago, so long ago that I do not recall the author nor book name, I read a story (fiction if not science fiction) about a modern (1960's or 1970's) man that somehow time travelled to ancient nordic lands. He was a sharpshooter with pistols. His name was Theodore. His scandinavian friend, in the present called him Teodor. Anyway he used his pistol in the ancient past and the people mistook it for a short handled war hammer. They shortened his name even more. He could kill from a distance and his hammer was seen to be still or back in his hand immediately. Guess what they shortened his name to. How's that for an origin myth?
