the development of German saucers (8). He knew that of which he
spoke. His books each bore the sub-title "Ein Roman voller
Wirklichkeiten" or "a novel filled with realities" as this novel
treatment was an easy avenue in avoiding post-war legal
entanglements.
Through the descriptions of the writers mentioned and other
records it is possible to pinpoint the location of these secret
German bases in Antarctica as well as a large Andean base in
Chile. Bill Lyne as well as Mr. Robert Lesniakiewicz and Dr.
Milos Jesensky state that a mysterious polar base existed in
Greenland (9) (10). The latter writers cite the coast of
eastern Greenland and cite a code-name which translates into
"Beaver Dam", complete with underwater U-boat entrances.
The Antarctic base was first attacked by forces of many nations,
led by the United States, in a 1946 military action code-named
"Operation High Jump". This operation involved a fleet of ships,
including an aircraft carrier, submarines and support craft. It
also involved aircraft and four thousand armed troops under the
command of Admiral Richard Byrd. Immediately four aircraft were
mysteriously lost and the whole operation, scheduled for six
months duration, was canceled after less than six weeks (11)
(12).
The Antarctic base, Landig's Point 211 (13), was in operation
until the late 1950s when it became the subject of an American
nuclear "test". In this test three bombs were detonated under
cover of the International Geophysical Year 1957-58 (14). Landig
claims the type of rockets used in the "test" to attack Point 211
were prototypes of the American Polaris missile, a solid-fuel
rocket which was used later operationally, the final design being
fired from submarines underwater (15). Detonation of these
atomic weapons over the base generated electromagnetic shock
waves which, it was hoped, would destroy apparatus in the base
used for defensive purposes (16). Landig claims this tactic
failed. The electromagneti 2V
