Scientists have discovered a secret Nazi base located 1,000 kilometres from the North Pole and built on direct orders from German dictator Adolf Hitler. For decades, the location of the mysterious site known as ‘Schatzgraber’ or ‘Treasure Hunter’ on Alexandra Land in the Arctic Circle had remained unknown. The supposed weather station is believed to have been constructed on direct orders from Hitler in 1942, a year after his invasion of Russia. “Before it was only known from written sources, but now we also have real proof,” said Evgeny Ermolov, a senior researcher at the Russian Arctic National Park. Researchers found bullets, scraps of tents and personal items such as shoes; many of which appear to be dated and marked with the swastika.
