The Basement: Brad Olsen | Antarctica’s Forbidden Zones

Summary

Author and publisher Brad Olsen describes funding his own voyage to Antarctica on a sailboat across the Drake Passage, then chasing claims of a hidden Nazi presence on the frozen continent. He and host AJ Gentile trace the alleged postwar escape of Hitler and vanished U-boats to Argentina and a secret German base in Neuschwabenland, plus why Operation Highjump reportedly returned home early. The conversation moves into forbidden zones, a satellite-obscured hole, a buried craft dubbed the Octagon, Rh-negative blood and Atlantis, and sunken cities off Cuba.
