    Fox News: Hitler’s secret Nazi war machine revealed in hidden bases

    Experts are looking to unlock the sinister secrets of hidden Nazi bases dotted across Europe.

    The covert sites will be explored in the new Science Channel series “Secret Nazi Ruins,” which premieres at 10 p.m. ET Thursday.

    “To this day, the remains of Nazi Bases lie waiting to reveal their truth about Hitler’s tactics and dreams,” explained Science Channel, in a statement. Sites examined in the series include the Maisy Batteries, a huge group of artillery batteries built in Northern France by the German military. The site has been recently excavated and investigated with the help of newly revealed documents, according to Science Channel.

    Other sites featured in the series include the vast base of Dag Bromberg, which is hidden in a Polish forest, and the V-2 rocket base Kraftwerk Nord West in France. Experts will also explore Bergkristal, a bunker and tunnel complex in Austria, which is described as possessing a “mysterious level of radiation.” An unusual mansion on a beach in the Canary Islands “with design elements that defy its stated residential purpose” will also be examined.

    “It seems as though every year that passes since the events of WWII we discover new sites, new plots and new terrors the Nazi war machine was behind,” said Daniel Oron, the show’s executive producer, in a statement emailed to Fox News. “Secret Nazi Ruins’ aims to uncover the mysteries and buried plots through investigating the remnants of known and recently excavated Nazi projects.”

    Exclusive: Science Channel searches for “Secret Nazi Ruins”

    Discovery-owned Science Channel has set an early September debut for the investigative docuseries Secret Nazi Ruins from Toronto’s Go Button Media.

    The series will seek to dig up mysteries from some of the most covert of Adolf Hitler’s World War II projects, as experts dissect and reveal the purpose and technical design behind each shadowy structure – from tunnels to towers, artillery sites, resistance nests and communication centers.

    Among the various sites examined throughout Secret Nazi Ruins are the recently excavated Maisy Batteries, a large group of artillery batteries constructed by the Nazis; Dag Bromberg, a Polish base hidden in a forest; Bergkristal, a bunker and network of tunnels in the heart of Austria with mysterious levels of radiation; a peculiar mansion on a remote beach in the Canary Islands; and Kraftwerk Nord West in northern France, one of the largest Nazi bunkers ever constructed.

    Go Button’s Daniel Oron and Natasha Ryan are executive producers alongside Science Channel’s Neil Laird.

    Secret Nazi Ruins premieres Sept. 5 at 10 p.m. ET/PT on Science Channel.
