Martin Bormann Escape - A New Theory​

Feb 28, 2025
I've uncovered new evidence that may point to an aerial rescue mission to snatch Martin Bormann out of Berlin on 1 May 1945. Also, I've found some hints in archival material that Hitler may have been murdered or at least helped to die on 30 April 1945, on the orders of Bormann in order to facilitate a timely escape from the Berlin bunker, which was threatened with imminent capture by Soviet forces. Intriguing questions, and I think a very interesting video!

Britain is a nuclear power, but even a cursory examination of that claim shows that it's far from an independent nuclear power, reliant on foreign-manufactured and maintained missiles and worn-out ballistic missile submarines that should have been replaced by new boats long ago. Whether year-round nuclear deterrence is even possible has also been challenged. Find out the true state of Britain's nuclear defences - you will probably be shocked and surprised!

U-Boat Attack 80 Miles Up A River! Nijmegen Bridge 1945​

Mar 27, 2025

In January 1945, an extraordinary operation occurred in a Dutch river 80 miles from the sea - a U-boat attack! And not just a single attack, but a huge operation involving over 20 submarines attacking the famous bridge at Nijmegen. It was the largest inland U-boat operation of WWII, but one of the least known.
