New Swabia is an area of Antarctica that Nazi Germany made claims to during World War II. The territory is located in Queen Maud Land and is in fact the property of Norway, but still the German society puts forward arguments in favor of the fact that this area should belong to Germany. Rumor has it that Nazi adherents who were transported to the base during the war still live inside the earth.
New Swabia - Myth or Reality?
There is no exact data as to whether life exists under the ground of Antarctica, but confirmation constantly pops up that the territory was actively explored by Hitler during the military campaigns. Although aerial photographs show that the terrain that Germany claims is covered with a layer of ice and seems completely uninhabited.
For the first time, active talk about the existence of the so-called base 211 began after a German researcher published a book called "Swastika in the Ice". In his work, he described in the deepest detail all the studies that were carried out on the orders of Hitler in Antarctica, and also mentioned the results achieved.
Adolf Hitler believed that the structure of the Earth is not at all similar to what is described in textbooks. He was of the opinion about the existence of several layers, each of which is inhabited by civilizations, and perhaps some of them are much more developed than humanity. During the study of the underwater depths, a huge network of caves was discovered, in which, according to Hans-Ulrich von Kranz, an alleged eyewitness, signs of intelligent abode were found:
- cave drawings;
- ennobled steps;
- obelisks.
Speculation about Hitler's activities
Researchers in Nazi Germany are believed to have discovered habitable caves underground with fresh, warm lakes, in which one could even swim. In connection with this discovery, a project was prepared to populate the unique territory, according to which a group of scientists with food and the necessary tools was sent to the underground caves. This was the birth of New Swabia.
Their goal was to explore the places and prepare the territory for the life of the "chosen" people. With the same submarines, minerals were supplied to Germany, which were not enough on the territory of the country for the successful conquest of Europe and the USSR. This was another proof that Hitler had a reserve source for the extraction of rare metals, because Germany's own reserves, according to experts' calculations, should have ended in 1941.
According to Krantz, only in 1941 the population of the underground city was over 10 thousand people. The best scientists of the country were sent there: biologists, doctors, engineers, who were supposed to become the genetic fund for the development of the new state.
Post-war expeditions to Antarctica
There was talk about the existence of base 211 even during the war, so immediately after its completion, the American government sent a military expedition, the purpose of which was to study the Nazi possessions in Antarctica and the destruction of New Swabia if it existed. The operation was called "High Jump", but it was not possible to jump high.

The entire crew of military equipment was defeated by aircraft under the banner of the Nazi cross. In addition, eyewitnesses claim that among ordinary aircraft, flat ships, similar to saucers, floated in the air. The very first attempt to discover the mysterious place took place in 1946, the expedition failed, but the desire to track down refugees from Germany only increased.
The Soviet Union also organized a trip to Antarctica, for which colossal funds were allocated. It is known from the diaries of Arkady Nikolayev that the entire operation was carried out rapidly and with great risk, which is not typical of the usual study of natural locations. However, it was not possible to give unique data, or they simply do not report them to anyone. Government measures to find the state underground are shrouded in strict secrecy, so the truth is unlikely to reach mass society.
