In this expansion we explore Antarctica, the great Southern continent, and its (albeit hypothetical) role in World War II. In reality the Germans did have an interest in Antarctica. In 1937 Germany sent an expedition aboard the MS Schwabenland, primarily for the purposes of establishing a whaling station. The German venture to Antarctica is fraught with myth and so for the purpose of making an interesting expansion (NEU), we are going to write a bit of alternative history:

The German exploration of 1937 was surprised to find a high volume of low-salinity water flowing from a wide opening in the glacial ice on the Prince Martha Coast. Miles of navigable passageways in the Antarctic interior lead to an enormous geothermal heated lake. The Germans quickly established a submarine base and fortress in Antarctica and mapped passages all through the south polar ice cap. Antarctica quickly became a base for submarine operations against South Africa and Australia. Later in the war the German “Base 211” served as a research laboratory for top-secret projects and a redoubt from which the last vestiges of the Nazi empire could hold out.
