This is my first thread, although being a member for a while. As a big reader of all things WW2, i like reading about the the little things that that add to the big picture of WW2, but often sidelined. So my question is are there any outstanding mysteries relating to WW2 not been solved?
Hi. Good thread. The death of Glenn Miller? Was his Norse really brought down by Heavy Bombers dumping their bombs over the Channel?

When the japs found Yamamoto's body, it was said he was sitting upright in the Betty bomber holding his sword, with his head tipped forward. It was said he had two wounds; one in his left shoulder, and one through his jaw which exited above his right eye. The P38's were armed with .50's and 20mm cannon, I don't know how much energy those rounds lost in flight, but for me it's hard to imagine such tidy wounds. Unless those hits were from one of the jap guns.
...Why did Hess fly to Britain? Is there really any mystery over Hess' flight anymore? The interrogation report by Ivan Kirkpatrick was released at the National Archives years ago. Hess stated he wanted to contact Lord Hamilton (IIRC) with an offer of peace with Britain so Germany and Britain could join up to take on Soviet Union, the one proviso being Churchill's government stepped down. Just goes to show what a complete loon he was! I have a copy of the interrogation report someone. I can type it up and paste it here if anyone's interested? Of the more interesting conspiracy theories surrounding Hess, is the recent one that Hess was actually lured to Britain by a plot hatched by Ian Fleming in Naval Intelligence Department.

Did the Ian Fleming plot use the Duke of Kent to help lure Hess to Britain ?
I thought they found Martin Bormanns body a few years ago, during some building work in Berlin, and i think it was after the wall came down. Did we find all of the Nazi gold?
The question on whether Hitler survived has been rather put to bed since the opening of the Soviet files. After the remains were buried in a car park in Magenburg?, they were removed and destroyed along with the jaw bone and i think part of the head.
Did the Ian Fleming plot use the Duke of Kent to help lure Hess to Britain ? It's a theory I remember hearing recently but don't know if there is any validity to the story, it could be just attempt to sell a book with yet another Hess conspiracy theory.

was that hitler ??? do you believe the russians One would have to offer up a credible alternative theory to counter the documented (albeit by the Russians) evidence. tom
In The Field: Did Hitler have a base in the Antarctic? I like the way the story was "fictionalized" to protect the authors reputation. Getting into the pole shift thing is getting into woo-woo territory. If you want some insight into that, check out this site: Bad Astronomy and Universe Today Forum - Powered by vBulletin I did say "credible", didn't I? tom
Amelia Earhart! Did she fly on "special" missions for the president? Was she taken prisoner by the Japanese? Wild I know, but I saw something on the tube a while back on this!
Well depending on which books you read, they are suppose to be UFO's that use to follow our aircraft around. Althougth i think both the Germans and Russians claimed to have seen them, but i have seen anything concrete on what they were. There was a story last year that an American had worked out where Amelia Earhart's plane may have come down, but not heard anything since.
