About Secret Nazi Bases

The collapse of the Third Reich left as many secrets as it did relics. Still today, remnants of the Nazi’s schemes lie concealed in structures scattered across the globe. Skeletons of projects give way to mysteries. Conspiracies abound about science fiction scenarios. The Nazis were nothing if not methodical, and a deeper look reveals even darker plans. From tunnels to towers, artillery sites and communication centres; the remains of these schemes lie waiting to reveal truths about the Fuhrer’s tactics and dreams in Secret Nazi Bases.

As facts about these outposts materialise, the viewer will ponder how the events of World War II could have taken a very different turn. What did Hitler have planned?

Secret Nazi Bases appears on Documentary Channel, Science Channel (as Secret Nazi Ruins), UKTV, Discovery EMEA (as Secret Nazi Ruins) and Hollywood Suite, and distributed by DCD Rights.
