The Secret Battle of 1947 | History Declassified
In 1947, Admiral Richard E. Byrd led a massive US Navy task force straight into the frozen heart of Antarctica. The official mission was “scientific research,” yet they arrived with an aircraft carrier, submarines, and 4,700 battle-ready marines. The operation was scheduled to last 8 months, but it ended abruptly after just a few weeks in a panicked retreat. What did the US Navy actually encounter in the eternal ice? Was it the last remnants of the Third Reich, or a mysterious force not of this world?
