Albert Speers “Inside the Third Reich” 1969
Nicolaus Von Below “At Hitler's Side: The Memoirs of Hitler's Luftwaffe Adjutant 1937–1945” 1980
So in January of 1945, the Red Army was so focused on getting to Berlin, they avoided the Owl Mountains completely and left.
There was like one SS unit that basically was posted up there, sort of like, not sure what to do in Project Risa, like deep in this, you know, half-built sort of like mountain base.
Wait, I think I've played this level before.
Yes, with all of the POWs and stuff that are there.
So, they're not even detected until January, February, March, April, May.
Four months later, in May of 1945, when the Allies were sending patrols through the region, and they discovered that all entrances to the tunnels were either bricked up or destroyed, and that the SS unit, or estimated 7,000 to 30,000 prisoners, I see.
had vanished entirely.
Some believe that the underground tunnel was far more developed than previously thought,
and that the Nazis had developed some kind of ultimate weapon,
potentially even interdimensional travel somewhere deep in the mountains.
And some believe that it still serves as the hiding place to an armored train
carrying untold valuables and riches, a treasure that would make Benjamin Gates,
Nicolas Cage's character of the 2004 adventure film National Treasure,
excited.
Nazi war trains.
If you are unfamiliar with Nazi war trains, holy shit, I thought this was just the plotline from, like, every single video game in 2004.
But it's actually real, of course.
These were called Kriegslokomotiven, which was German for war locomotive.
Very original.
They were mass-produced with forced labor and used not only to haul Holocaust trains, but also cars armed with artillery.
There were units known as the K5, manufactured by the Krupp Company, that had massive railway guns attached to train treads.
I mean, they weighed like 218 tons and had a range of 40 miles.
Yeah, there are pictures of these things.
They're ludicrous.
Also, that company still makes coffee stuff and everyone buys it.
Like most Nazi tech, it was incredibly difficult to use and required way more troops than regular artillery.
It frequently broke down and was, in general, apparently a pain in the ass to use.
This was like the monster truck of like the... It was like, we should have these cool new types of vehicles.
I looked a little deeper into it and learned that war trains have actually been used for a long time.
The Nazis did not invent them.
But they did develop this absolutely insane system to turn the cannon to aim it because they built it essentially on like a long, you know, train car.
So you couldn't aim the cannon like really any way.
The only way you could aim it is if you happen to have a curve in your train track.
Otherwise there was a potential that it would shoot either a train in front of it on the track ahead or destroy the track.
But they developed this incredible, insane, like steampunk technology where the train would actually drive onto a platform that then could rotate.
It was like a circular piece of track.
And it would rotate that part of it?
And so it would rotate that part of it so that they could aim it 360 degrees.
That's insane.
Hitler just spent all day drawing shit in notebooks.
Yeah, he's just drawing shit in notebooks.
He had one of those Red Ledger Scholastic books just doodling mazes and tunnels and big cannons.
Yeah, people don't talk about Hitler's Trapper Keeper, but it was cool.
So these things cost hundreds of men to operate.
Basically, they packed a punch, but they weren't very efficient.
They were invented by orcs.
Yeah.
And I also discovered that Hitler himself famously had a rolling fortress of heavily armored steel cars from which he could be a fascist on the move.
Unironically, he named the train, quote, America, spelled with a K, in celebration of our country's genocide of the Native Americans.
No way.
That's what it was about.
That's why he named it America.
Wow.
That should own on multiple levels.
Now, he did.
He had respect for America.
Hitler loved America!
He loved America.
I wonder what that means.
Now he changed the name later when they went to war with America.
Oh my god.
Listen.
Actually, the Americans are bad.
That Indian thing you did is so cool.
Intervening and trying to overthrow me right now, not so cool.
Say what you want about America.
They beat not just one, but two regimes that were somehow more white supremacist than it.
So, you know, credit.
But gentlemen, of course, as you know, this wasn't the end of this.
Of course, all of Hitler's boys themselves wanted their own trains.
And so this actually became like a fad that like high command Nazi like, you know, generals and shit would have these like, you know, big sort of like armored trains like built for them.
