Hidden Nazi Gold!

Oh yeah, and the mines are now haunted and filled with monsters.

But your Royal Expeditionary Battle RV(unofficially dubbed "the HMS Oliver Reed") is fully-stocked with booze, gassed up, and ready to go.

What next?

You are in a room, but no Nazi Gold.

There are exits to the North and East

The rest of the team is still in the RV, about to break out the really good stuff.

Queen Maud Land was where H.P. Lovecraft had located the Plateau of Leng and the city of the Old Ones in At The Mountains Of Madness. An early version of a scam Necronomicon that contained this information had fallen into the hands of the Thule Society who (unable to take a joke) took it literally and immediatly funded an initial initial survey of the area in 1939.

As WWII wound down, the remaining Nazi gold along with certain occult artifacts and relics were hidden at "Station 211" in Queen Maud Land by the crew of U-530 and U-977 in April 1945. Their mission complete, both U-boats surrendered in Argentina after the war.

Anyway, in 1947 Admiral Byrd commanded Operation High Jump, an expedition to find and explore the Nazi Antarctic base. The base (along with a couple surviving Nazis) were discovered and the gold removed along with some previously unknown secret weapons which may or may not have been flying saucers.

Now, while it is true that part of the shipment of Mozart's Vaticandy Choco-Balls were diverted by u-boat in 1943 after the Nazis had finally discoverd R'lyeh, the denizens of that resurfaced island caused a serious drain on Kriegsmarine resources located in the Pacific. It was due to these troubles that the majority of the gold was kept in those sunken Swiss mines and dwarven vaults.

Remember to keep your priorities in order; find the bigger treasure first.

xpost: no, Mike, you've been just biting into one too many "chocolate" gold coins again

they put out this book, masking their research in the guise of a fictional "role-playing game," as they refer to it

There's an interesting adjunct to the story that involves the scuttling of the Graf Spee in Uruguay. The surviving crew never repatriated back to Germany after the war, choosing instead to settle in a Argentine town named Villa General Belgrano. The town quickly took on the look of a Swiss resort and celebrates Oktoberfest and something called the "National Beer Festivity" to this day.

Supposedly the remaining survivors of the Graf Spee get together every year on the anniversary of the sinking and toast the Graf Spee's captain - who famously did not give the Nazi salute (but a naval salute instead) at the funeral for the crewmen killed in the battle.

(flashback to courtship)

She falls into a crevasse and is trapped. I hail a ragtag team of mountain-climbing miscreants who are reluctant to help, but they do, reluctantly. The gruff one drops her at the last minute. They pack up and leave me on the mountainside. I trail them, plotting my revenge.

They are surveying the entrance to my rich Swiss uncle's abandoned mines. They are gathered around some documents and a map. I am intrigued. At night, I sneak into their camp to pilfer the documents. Slowly, I aproach.

Look into Stinky's beady little eyes, Stephan.

It is rumored that the still-hidden nazi gold treasure was part of their funding, tho this has never been verified.

However, one Himmler's deputies, Doktor Herbert Jankuhn, reportedly found an intact copy of Unaussprechlichen Kulten while in Crimea around 1942, and had it crated up for shipping back. It was mysteriously lost along the way, and has been missing ever since. Subsequent reports of it appearing at a Polish auction house in the early 90s are false.

Elvis T, do you know anything about these guys?

Elvis T, do you know anything about these guys?

German occult group that coalesced together in the immediate post-WWI chaos from various factions of grumpy loss-of-identity ideologues, disaffected mystics and frightened anti-communist businessmen all of whom were: 1. reeling from the defeat of Germany and 2. worried about a socialist/communist uprising in the German working class.

The Thules were obsessed with the "lost tribe" myth - believing that there was an ancient race of Germanic people in the north who were the true progenitors of the German (i.e. Aryan) people and that reconnecting with their ancient ancestors would somehow give them the knowledge to defeat their enemies and attain some sort of transformation.

The non-occultist Thules took to the cut-rate Theosophical racism that the occultists were into and armed with money from those anti-communist businessmen set about funding newspapers and the right-wing German Workers Party organization. We all know what happened after that...

Ironically, the Nazi government banned the Thule Society even though the occult underpinnings continued into various Nazi secret societies.

DEUTSCHNEUDORF, Germany (CNN) -- Digging has resumed at a site in the southeastern German town of Deutschneudorf, where treasure hunters believe there are almost 2 tons of Nazi gold and possibly clues to the whereabouts of the legendary Amber Room, a prize taken from a Russian castle during World War II...

I hope Geraldo is available to host the inevitable tv special.

geraldo joke!

Is "Nazi gold" different from regular gold? Like, are they going to find 2 tons of chocolate because that was very rare back then and it was nicknamed "Nazi gold" ?

Bumped b/c am bored lately with lack of nazi gold stories in news.

Also, wikipedia has its own special entry for this:

Nazi gold and La Cosa Nostra

There have also been conspiracy theories about the Mafia, and their connections in the Swiss National Bank. Some people estimate that, under the regime of Mob boss, Charlie "Lucky" Luciano, during the last months of World War II, Luciano's top associate, Meyer Lansky, had close connections within the Swiss National Bank, and lured the Nazis for over $300 million in gold. Lansky then, allegedly, had the gold laundered into several unknown bank-accounts, and fled back to the United States of America. This, of course, has never been proved, but Lansky had hundreds of associates in Switzerland, and it's possible that the lost Nazi gold could have been stolen and smuggled into financing the Cosa Nostra to a nation-world-wide organization.

Strikes me as highly unlikely that the Nazis would entrust gold to a Jewish mobster.

Especially one who publicly claimed to have broken up rallies of Nazi sympathizers (even though he probably made most of it up)
