What emerges from this list is disturbing indeed. Clearly, a prima
facie case can be made that the Nazi leadership had invested
significant resources in the investigation of any and all avenues to
power, occult and otherwise, and to new sources of energy. And
equally clearly, the Nazi leadership was willing to think "outside the
box" and to go to any lengths - often quite literally - to research
those matters. What also emerges from this list is a preoccupation
with areas of physics, and areas of the globe, almost completely
neglected - at least publicly - by the wartime Allies. Moreover, what
also emerges is a disturbing sense, that maybe, just maybe, there
was something to the survival myths after all, for one thing seems
clear from the pattern of events after the war, particularly in respect
to Antarctica: such myths were inevitably connected to the exotic
research pursuits the Germans were conducting, and such myths
seem clearly to have been the hidden motivation for American
counter-strikes.
