RE:"Operation Sea Window"

A DET66/SG team consisting of agents ROOK, SERAPH, PLAIN JANE, and JETBLACK was placed ashore in Queen Maud land, Antarctica, with the objective of locating and surveilling the Nazi facility known as "Base 211". The team located the base, which proved to be a submarine dock and cargo transfer point for a larger operation somewhere to the east. SG made the decision to reduce the facility and agent JETBLACK was seriously injured in the ensuing assault. It became apparent that the Germans had a considerable investment in the region, and were employing high technology experimental fighters to secure their perimeter. The SG operatives became aware of plans to launch a "high altitude orbital attack craft", later identified as Sanger's "Amerika bomber" project. They felt that it was imperative that this project be disrupted.

The team reports discovering a large, ice-free region hidden in the Muhlig-Hoffmann mountains where the Germans were constructing a small city. They report encountering Captain Aneas Mackintosh, late of the Shackleton Antarctic expedition of 1917, and seeing prehistoric animals. Many of these accounts have been independently confiremed by DET66 Pacific agents Brotherton, Bradford-Mitchell, and Morris, who were taken to the Nazi base as prisoners from Bouvet island. There was a pitched battle as SG attempted to secure the American POW's, disrupt the Amerika bomber (which was rumored to have atomic capability and was aimed at New York city), and reduce the threat of SKVS operatives in the region. On 5 March, the group's liaison ship, USS Salute, received word that they were evacuating the area aboard a Junkers 252 aircraft packed with German civilians and wounded. Agent JETBLACK was not recovered and is missing, presumed dead. A pick-up on the Queen Maud Land coast was facilitated, and the German nationals were interned in Capetown, South Africa. Extensive volcanic activity was noted in the Muhlig-Hoffman region in the following months, and no trace of the "Projekt Landheim" facility has ever been detected.

At present the DET66 Pacific team members are resting in Walter Reed Army Medical Center, and their prognoses are good. On a personal note, Sea Window will provide excellent grist for our pulp acclimatization campaign -- I'm already working up a few King Kurowski drafts to that end.
