The Secret Land: Operation High Jump

In 1947, Secretary of the Navy James Forrestal sent a naval task force to Antarctic including Admiral Nimitz, Admiral Krusen and Admiral Byrd, called, "Operation High Jump". It was touted to be an expedition to find coal deposits and other valuable resources, but in actuality, they were trying to find the underground base of the Nazi's (Aryans) in Neuschwabenlandt.

The nazis had done a very detailed study of Antarctica and were alleged to have built an underground base there. In this regard however, the Aryans have had an underground, under-the-ice habitation in the Antarctic for more than a million years.

The task force of over 40 ships, included the flagship 'Mount Olympus', the aircraft carrier 'Philipine Sea', the seaplane tender 'Pine Sea', the submarine 'Senate', the destroyer 'Bronson', the ice-breaker 'Northwind', and other tanker and supply ships. An armed contingent of 1400 sailors, and three dog-sled teams were also on board.

The expedition was filmed by the Navy and brought to Hollywood to be made into a commercial film called, 'The Secret Land'. It was narrated by Hollywood actor Robert Montgomery (Naval Reserve Officer).
