The Ahnenerbe's Discovery

Gathering / Conference

KAIJU AND CRYPTIDS HAVE WENT UNKNOWN FOR SO LONG. NOW, THEY WILL BE HUNTED AGAIN.   The Nazis begin hunting kaiju and cryptids down to establish Aryan superiority.

The Nazis were obsessed with the occult, witchcraft, magic, and ancient civilizations. There was elaborate detail about constructing hypothetical UFOs and death rays, as well as supposed expeditions to uncover the Holy Grail and the Lance of Longinus. However, most notable among them was a strange obsession with giant monsters. Adolf Hitler became fixated upon Norse mythology and believed the beasts detailed in fights against Thor, Loki, and Odin were real creatures that still existed somewhere out in the world. Thus, secret Nazi divisions had been sent across the globe to hunt the monsters. As for what purpose, it was not entirely sure. The documents were inconsistent in their focus, shifting from talks to kill the monsters to prove Aryan superiority or to capture and weaponize them against the Allied Powers and - eventually - the rest of the Axis.   U.S. military forces believed it to be the writings of Nazi lunacy, but it did detail possible locations their searches would take them. In secret were military forces sent to establish footholds on these territories to catch the Nazis by surprise. One such expedition took them all the way to Antarctica, deep within the frozen wastes. Upon arrival were United States forces surprised to see an abandoned Nazi encampment. A freak storm had hit the area and had proven to be too much to weather through. A few corpses remained - having frozen to death during their toil - while the majority had ultimately been forced to evacuate. American forces decided to finish the job and uncover what the Nazis were digging for before they could return. As they pushed through the rock and ice, they uncovered a series of artificial tunnels carved through the Earth. Deep inside was a massive penguin, housed in a chamber of amniotic fluid. Extraterrestrial creatures that resembled cephalopods - known as Xothians - had ventured to Earth many years ago, discovered the hibernating beast, and left a research team behind to uncover the mysteries of evolution and the amniotic fluid. The United States military and the Xothians had a firefight in the chamber that ultimately resulted in pushing back the former. The Xothians walled themselves back up, and the United States eventually returned after the war to build a facility surrounding the mountain.
