FOREWORD

This book reveals for the first time a little known, but very important

historical phenomenon: Germany's and in particular, Adolf Hitler's intense

interest and personal fascination with the polar regions. Out of the millions

upon millions of words written and spoken to inform and misinform, to reveal,

conceal, report and distort the minutest aspects of Hitler's public and private

life, apparently nothing has been written outside of Germany regarding this area

of Hitler's interest. Such an omission is at first surprising until one discovers

that only parts of the story have come to light and that even these incomplete

fragments are known to a very few widely scattered and virtually isolated

experts.

Though easily overlooked, the investigators of National Socialist history

have been able to perceive the many references to this ice-ridden facet of the

Third Reich among Hitler's myriad, far-ranging interests, even during his early

years as an unknown, starving artist. By years of patient research, painstaking

sifting of articles, books, pictures, manuscripts and eyewitness accounts, these

investigators determined that Adolf Hitler, many years prior to his ascension to

the Chancellorship of Greater Germany, had been keenly interested in the

mysterious, last frontiers of this planet, the frozen immensities of the Arctic and

Antarctica. Why Hitler was so interested in the polar regions is not immediately

clear to the casual researcher, but it becomes so when one observes the

recurrent convergence and congruence of two main themes:

(1) Decades before the advent of the present massive Soviet and Japanese

exploitation of this precious resource, Hitler understood the importance of the

whaling industry for the provision of protein and raw materials to the cramped

population of Germany, always dependent upon its none-too-friendly neighbors

for its food requirements above the subsistence level.

(2) The titanic drama of the polar wastes, where Nature's forces clash

unabated—blizzards, hurricanes, jagged icebergs, volcanic fire and eternal ice,

gigantic beasts; where brave and hardy men survived and more than this,

overcame these obstacles in the quest for knowledge, risking their lives in frail

boats or trekking determinedly across the glittering howling wilderness—this

drama, with all its color, sound, fury and heroism appealed greatly to Hitler, the

artist, the romantic disciple of Wagner and not least, to Hitler the

anthropologist, who wished to rediscover the cultural heritage of his Nordic,

Aryan ancestors. Was it possible, he wondered, that the frozen wastes

demanded a race of heroes and so produced one, or was a race of heroes already

in existence which found the harsh demands of this environment in keeping

with its own virtues?

To answer these questions of existence, to rediscover his racial, hence,

cosmic roots, the young, maturing Hitler studied the remnants of his ancient

Aryan forefathers, the robust wisdom which may be found, for example, in the

Nordic Sagas, untarnished by the fetid breath of Judeo-Christianity. Along this

path of forgotten knowledge, Hitler encountered a radically different theory

concerning the creation of the world: Paul Hoerbiger's "Welteislehre" theory,

widely discussed in German intellectual circles.

In this quest for truth rooted in Nature and not in superstition, the young

Hitler came into contact with members of the secret Thule Society which was

very active in the Munich area. Interestingly enough, the logo or emblem of this

society includes a. Swastika, a downward-pointing sword and a wreath of oak

leaves, all frequently used symbols of the later National Socialist organizations.
