In 1946, the United States sent the largest naval fleet of its kind on a secret mission to Antarctica. Officially, the reason given for this mission was to map the continent and to train soldiers. But unofficially, this was actually a mission to find and destroy a secret Nazi base. But when they got there they found themselves facing an ancient race with flying saucers that they couldn't hope to defeat.
