Nazi Quest for the Holy Grail: Nazis and the Aryans
As WW II came to an end, American troops discovered Nazi files in a cave in southern Germany. These documents revealed a project to recover the lost "Aryan civilization" from which Nazis claim to have descended. This documentary uses rare footage and unseen photographs to help tell the story of three missions: a global search for the lost island of Atlantis, an expedition to find traces of the "master race" in Buddhist Tibet and the Himalayas, and an astonishing Nazi-sponsored quest for Christianity's mythical Holy Grail.
"Nazi Arctic Bases Captured (1945)" American Coast Guard lowers depth charge into pack ice to clear way for its vessels in North Pole [when Nazis actually ruled Antarctica, which they claimed as their new country called "New Swabia" or Neuschwabenland]. A boat pulls away to try to destroy German radio station, and as they land the camera pans across German supplies. Boats sail back to American ship as they whisk 60 Nazi "prisoners" to safety and Project Paperclip, the secret US Nazi protection program.
