U-boats carried technicians and scientists to a base there, Number
211, via an undersea trench that stretched the entire way through what
was know formerly as Queen Maud Land. Base 211 was carved into a cave
complex similar to Nordhausen and supplied by transport subs,
components of which even the Type XXVI were taken. SS Antartic troops
maintained the base.



Never heard of a U-boat base being given a number. No Type XXVI was ever
built in the war. Work only started on it, late in the war so how is it
suppose to be available in 1939? Nor is SS Antartic listed in a
complete list of every SS-Divisionen formed during WWII.

I read a novel with this very plot. I no longer remember the name of that
novel as I read two or three a week. I do recognize the difference between
novels and non-fiction.

Actually, the Nazi Antarctic base "history" popped up about the same
time as several SF stories were published. One was a direct parallel to
the history, others going further afield in the telling, but still based
on the central premise, and more have come up later. And to satisfy the
conspiracy types, the US Coast Guard did battle with them too, so there
is a US cover-up as well.

The breadth and depth of the illogic of this stuff would make a great
book in itself.
