In Future Man, Vincent learns of the existence of a forgotten community composed of elite, scientific thinkers that have been hiding in Antarctica since World War II.
The origin of this claim dates back to the 1960s and has been explored by many authors, scholars and historical researchers (list at the bottom of the page), such as Rainer Daehnhardt. The documentation he gathered in 30 years of research and his thorough analysis culminated with the recognition of his efforts by Cambridge, considering him one of the world’s top scientists in 2005.
Based on Rainer’s research, in an exercise of trying to expand on his findings with the knowledge I’ve acquired over the years, I’ve posted a 5-part study called “Antarctica: the key to the future?” It was also an opportunity to show unpublished material that had yet to see the light of day:
- The German Expedition to Antarctica, 1938/39 (In the same year WW2 started, III Reich’s Germany claimed a territory of over 250.000 km2 in Antarctica, which they named Neu-Schwabenland)
- Operation Highjump, 1946/47 (A “scientific expedition” to Antarctica launched by the US, only one year after the end of WW2, involving an aircraft carrier, two destroyers, a submarine and several other vessels – believed to have been conducted to investigate the claim of a III Reich base in Antarctica)
- Operation Argus, 1958 (Nuclear Ballistic missile tests conducted by the US less than 2.000 miles off German Antarctic territory )
- Final conclusions: hypothesizing on Antarctica’s German base possible location
