  • 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

    He was born in the Philippines under Japanese control. 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.

    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.

    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.

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?

    Consider doing a video on Newville , Ohio usually called Helltown due in part to the upside down cross on the town church. The US government forced the whole town to sell their homes to make the town a national park, or to prevent deforestation, it depends on your source. I had trouble finding sites other than Wikipedia that didn’t mention ghosts or aliens. What makes this odd is nothing was ever done with the town, most of the structures remain in place. It appears the government never planted trees, so no deforestation efforts have been made. Since this happened in the 1950’s you’d think the government would have had the time to do something with the town. Warning to Simon, the theories include ghosts, aliens, satanic cults, or chemical spill. I don’t believe in ghosts and highly doubt aliens are going to use their technology to camp out in Ohio; but I think he’d enjoy debunking the supernatural theories.
