Secret Nazi Weapons Facility Was Largest of the Third Reich
It sounds like the plot from a spy novel: an Austrian physicist formerly employed by the Nazis mentions in his diaries an elaborate underground facility, that once housed the most clandestine experiments in warfare ever carried out by the Third Reich.
This time, however, the story is true, and what experts have found there suggests the depth of the Nazi’s attempts at harnessing nuclear weaponry for warfare.
Using ground penetrating radar, the vast secret WMD facility was uncovered in Austria near St. Georgen an der Gusen, located close to a similar underground complex where Messerschmitt Me 262 fighter planes, among the first to be jet-powered, were being built. It is likely that the new facility, at which the presence of heightened radiation levels have been detected was “likely the biggest secret weapons production facility of the Third Reich.”
A story carried in the Sunday Times of London reported that the location of the underground facility was determined with help from eyewitnesses, as well as declassified intelligence documents. The Times also reported:
“Previous research had found increased levels of radiation around the St Georgen site, apparently giving credibility to longstanding claims that Nazi scientists experimented with nuclear weapons in the area, which was under the exclusive command of the SS.”
