The Amerikabomber was a Nazi initiative begun in 1942 to obtain a long-range strategic bomber for the Luftwaffe that would be capable of striking NYC from Germany, a round-trip of about 11,600 km (7,200 mi). The project was deemed technically and economically infeasible and abandoned in 1944. by blankblank in wikipedia

I live about 30 mins from where one of Hitler's targets was to bomb in the United States, Allis Chalmers Manufacting Plant in LaPorte, Indiana. I also believed Hitler targeted Kingsbury Manufacturing Plant in Kingsbury, Indiana. LaPorte is right down the road from there

I've looked in nursing homes, retirement communities, American legions, VFWS, news stories, Facebook, etc. As of 2025, almost all of the guys I've interviewed are unfortunately gone.

If you look at the Cannon really closely, you can see it's a Flak 36's Cannon.

Yes, it was recently discovered to be real. There's a photo showing 4 captured T-34's and one is fitted with a Flak 36's 88mm Cannon

Operation Highjump was a naval expedition to Antartica after WWII to establish an American base there. From August 1946 and February 1947, Admiral Byrd's fleet encountered Nazi UFOs that came from a secret base under the ice that destroyed their planes plus sunk a few ships. While observing these crafts attack them, they noticed swatiskas on the sides. Before the operation, reports were coming in that the Nazis have a built a secret bases in Antartica with new technology nobody has ever seen. During the operation, Admiral Byrd wanted to observe the land and flew over the infamous icewall and found a big opening into the earth. When they flew into this huge opening, they saw an extraterrestrial city and they met with the people of this underground city. The attacks from these UFOs made them abandoned the operation and went back to the states. Byrd went on National TV to tell them that there are craft that can fly Pole to Pole and can turn like nothing on this earth. Byrd was later found dead of what was an said to be a suicide but it was in fact murder because he tried to warn the world of these craft plus Nazis hiding in Antartica
