Was WW2 a Lie? The Lasting Artifacts of German Ingenuity and the Last Battalion with Harry Cooper (Part 2)
Note: This discussion is provided courtesy of Tour Guide Earth. Part 1 is available to all FFG members. Parts 2 and 3 are available to Founders.
Some archives are islands. Part 2 of the TGE call with Harry Cooper moves from the Argentine mainland to a rock in the central South Atlantic: Trindade, two and a half miles long, held today by the Brazilian Navy, and, according to Cooper's documentation, occupied twice by German contingents.
First from 1938 to 1941, when the Schwabenland catapult ship arrived with four support vessels and raised two 80-meter radio towers. Then again in July 1945, months after the surrender, long enough for a German sailor killed in an accident to be buried there under a rock painted with the date.
From there the session follows the technology ledger: the Horten flying wing plans and US Air Force letters of appreciation Cooper says he was shown in Uruguay, Kurt Tank's Pulqui jet in Argentina, U-234's surrender cargo and the infrared trigger designer who vanished from Portsmouth, and the night vision lineage running from a backpack-mounted Mauser scope to Vietnam-era starlight systems.
Cooper's frame is a quid pro quo: technology flowed west and east, and certain assets in South America were left alone in exchange. Members get the full chain of claims, the firsthand field notes, and the open questions. Get inside the full briefing.
