Scientists have finally uncovered the huge secret of the Nazi’s secret base in the Arctic!
Near the North Pole, a secret Nazi base that had been forgotten for decades has been rediscovered. Dubbed “Schatzgräber” (meaning “Treasure Hunter”), the base was built in 1942, as Hitler was invading the Soviet Union. It was not only a strategic weather station, but may have been involved in other mysterious Nazi missions.
In 1944, the base was abandoned after scientists there suffered food poisoning from polar bear meat – which contained toxic levels of vitamin A. They were forced to be rescued by a German submarine, leaving the base frozen in time. 72 years later, Russian scientists have excavated more than 500 artifacts from the site, many of which are still intact thanks to the icy climate.
Some historians question whether the base was actually just a weather station. The name “Schatzgräber” suggests a search for antiquities, a reference to the Nazis’ fascination with mystical relics. Although there is no solid evidence, the theory has attracted much attention.
Today, the island of Alexandra Land – where the base is located – remains a strategic hotspot. Russia has claimed sovereignty and plans to build a permanent military base there, proving that the island’s importance has not diminished over time.
Meanwhile, another mystery in the Baltic Sea is puzzling scientists. A giant circular object on the seabed was discovered in 2011 by the Ocean X expedition team. Measuring about 55 meters in diameter, the object resembles the Millennium Falcon from “Star Wars”, sparking speculation about UFOs or secret Nazi technology.
Some experts believe that it could be a German anti-submarine device from World War II, used to jam Allied sonar. However, the Ocean X divers have dismissed this theory, citing the object’s size as being too large for the German military equipment used. Some scientists believe that it is simply a natural structure that has formed over thousands of years.
**Strange discovery under the floor**
Archaeologists have made a terrifying discovery: skeletons without clothes or jewelry, lying under pipes under the floor. The archaeologists’ leaders, Oatv and Berto Shevy, said the skeletons appeared to have been buried after the house was built. What’s strange is that the twisted position of the bodies suggests that someone must have seen them when installing the pipes. A creepy situation that no one wants to encounter!
The mystery is further compounded by the fact that the bodies are missing arms and legs. Archaeologists tried to remain calm, assuming that the bones of the arms and legs may have decomposed over time. But it’s hard to ignore the possibility that they were dismembered. It all seems like a mysterious ritual. We all know that the Nazis were obsessed with occult rituals, and Hermann Göring—the second most powerful man after Hitler—may have participated in horrific rituals, even human sacrifice. After all, Göring was sentenced to death at the Nuremberg trials for war crimes, so we can’t ask him about it.
**Message in a Bottle from World War II**
One day, Suzanne Flamant Smith, a resident of Tampa, Florida, was cleaning up after a hurricane when she found a shiny object in the rubble. It was a glass bottle, containing a letter from World War II. It sounded like the beginning of a good detective novel!
The bottle washed ashore at Safety Harbor during Hurricane Debbie. When she picked it up, Suzanne noticed that there was sand inside, but she could still clearly see the elegant handwriting—a rare typeface these days. When she opened the bottle, she found not only the letter but also a coffee stirrer, a bullet casing, a small artillery shell, and some sand. This was reminiscent of the “witch bottles” that were once used to curse people.
The letter was headed from the US Navy Amphibious Training Base in Little Creek, Virginia, and dated March 4, 1945. However, most of the contents had faded with time. Suzanne and her husband only read a few lines, including a mention of “radio training” and a promise to write again. But who was the sender? Who was the recipient? And why were there bullet casings and artillery shells in it? A romantic mystery that probably doesn’t need to be solved.
The US Navy is now investigating to see if it can identify the sender or recipient. Perhaps this mystery will be solved soon!
**Treasure in the Attic**
Have you ever found something unexpected in your attic? A Massachusetts family stumbled upon a treasure trove of Japanese artifacts dating back 500 years. What’s even more surprising: they were stolen during the Battle of Okinawa during World War II.
While cleaning out their late father’s home – a war veteran – they discovered scrolls, maps, and pottery from the Ryukyu Kingdom (15th-19th centuries). Little did they know that these items had been on the FBI’s stolen art list. Discovering historical treasures missing from your own home must have been a huge shock!
The Battle of Okinawa was one of the bloodiest battles in history, and many priceless cultural heritages were looted during the chaos. Thankfully, the family contacted the FBI, and the artifacts have now been returned to Okinawa. Lesson learned: if you find an old box in your attic, don’t throw it away – it may contain a piece of history!
**Wartime Shipwrecks Off Alaska**
Did you know that only two Japanese ships were sunk off the coast of the United States during World War II? Now, they have been found in the frigid waters off Alaska.
A research team was not looking for shipwrecks, but rather examining traces of Alaska Native settlements dating back more than 3,000 years. Instead, they stumbled upon the wrecks of the Chihibu Maru and Kotohira Maru – two Japanese transport ships sunk during the Aleutian Islands campaign.
The Kotohira Maru, a 5,000-ton ship carrying supplies to Japanese troops on Attu Island, was shot down by American planes on January 5, 1943. It was found 300 feet deep, almost exactly where it sank. Meanwhile, the Chihibu Maru was bombed by American planes on Thanksgiving Day in 1942, and now lies submerged in a sorry state.
The war in the Aleutian Islands is a little-known part of World War II, but these ships are evidence that the war touched American soil. When researcher Dominic Bush saw the wreck of the Kotohira Maru, he was moved to call it “a mass grave” – because in addition to its cargo, the ship was carrying the lives of many Japanese soldiers.
