While writing another article on the Antarctic Germans (1) I ran into an article that was removed, but which could still be reached on the Internet Archive about a covert nuclear operation that would have taken place back in 1958 near the coast of Neuschwabenland in Antarctica (2).

This page serves as a ‘teaser’ to that original article by Bruno De Marques from 2015. Did the (Cabal) US really detonate three nuclear weapons in order to scare the Antartic Germans? Would this have been followed by a strong nuclear response and threat by the Antarctic Germans that would have led to the signing of the Antarctic Treaty (3) a year later, with a special section prohibiting any nuclear testing?

Let’s all get to the bottom of this. Here’s the beginning of the article. I recommend reading the full complete article at (2).

Analysis | Operation Argus, nuclear weapons tests 1958

REPORT ANALYSIS / “Operation Argus” – US atmospheric nuclear weapons tests, 1958. Nuclear test personnel review, 1982” by the Defense Nuclear Agency as Executive Agency for the Department of Defense.

Introduction

The reason why Operation Argus is under discussion here is due to the hypothesis we’ve been persuing that:

• There was some sort of facility from the III Reich left in Antarctica after WW2
• Operation Highjump was launched by the US to investigate that claim
• There was a confrontation with an unknown force during operation Highjump and, possibly, during follow-up operations in the region

Also that Operation Argus here – allegedly, a series of US atmospheric nuclear weapons tests, in 1958 – was the best way the allies could find to neutralize such a threat from a distance, in a swiftly and decisively fashion.

Here, today, we’re going to check out a classified “Operation Argus” report and take a brief look at the treaty that would regulate nuclear tests in Antarctica.
