Ice Station Schatzgräber

Located on Alexandra Land, an island in the Franz Josef Land archipelago, it was covertly established in September 1940 (just after the successful invasion of Norway & Denmark) by Hitler and his secret allies after Hitler developed serious paranoia about descent within his own private circle. It became one of the primary depots of Hitler’s secret projects. By December 1940 Hitler had sent more than 700 “meteorological” orders to the location. These reports contained primarily coded information on project Die Glocke and the secrets it held.
The base itself was unremarkable on the surface but underground was an extensive series of tunnels and bunkers. Hitler planned to eventually store the centerpiece of the Die GLocke program – the UFO – at this station. A large underground warehouse was built for it. Unfortunately, Hitler was assassinated and the UFO was lost on a submarine
