Germans did invade US
« on: September 10, 2010, 03:28:35 AM »
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/worldnews/article-1310640/The-New-York-Nazis-U-boats-landed-saboteurs-U-S-coast.html

Quote
Nazi Germany landed eight saboteurs in America on a secret mission to destroy targets across the U.S., a documentary has revealed.

U-boats dropped the men off the beaches of Long Island and Florida at the height of the Second World War.

The first group of four men - carrying armfuls of weapons, explosives and primers - came ashore near Manhattan on June 13, 1942.

Four days later, another four men landed from another U-boat off Ponte Verda, Beach in Florida.

They were supposed to stage attacks on economic targets such as New York's Penn Station, hydroelectric plants at Niagara Falls and aluminium factories in Illinois and Tennessee.

Details of the landings are revealed in a German documentary - Attack on America - Hitler's 9/11 - being aired tomorrow on the ninth anniversary of the Twin Towers attacks.

And they planned a ballistic missile to reach NY.

it's pretty common knowledge here andy.

The main target was the secret power plant below the grand central terminal which powers the railroads that carried ammunition and infantry.

I wasn't aware of it.  It's no surprise, I just hadn't ever thought about it.  I'd be curious about how good their training was and if their intention was to stay covert or try to blend in.

Lesser known is the highly successful German invasion of Texas with the far more insidious weapon of Tejano music.  Germans really are evil.

That's not an invasion, it's fairly common knowledge, and did we really need another thread trying to convince us Germany was moments away from conquering the Americas?

You're reading too much into it because of the poster.  As I said, I wasn't aware of it, and it seems rather interesting.  Plus, it appears that they're going to provide other details that might not be common knowledge.

Well, it's clearly a follow-up on his point a few weeks ago that the US was seriously endangered by Nazi Germany, right?

Wow. The fact that you ponder that blows me away. I never would have expected that.

While this isn't common knowledge, it also isn't top secret.

But it definitely wasn't an invasion, so I don't know you titled your thread that way.

Especially when last seen, the four in Florida were running a gay margarita bar in Key West, three of those in NY went into the meat packing business on the upper east side, and the final operative died years later in Vegas of syphiliis.  :biggrin: :\

Funny follow up; the power plant is powered by very large cylinders spinning on bearings that are very sensitive. 3 German spies were caught just before they entered the chamber with a bag of sand on them. All it would have taken for Germany to win the war was to throw that sand in the bearings ruining the power plant and keeping USA from saving the allies.

All the Bush haters out there need to seriously give this information a more serious look.  This proves once and for all that sand is, in fact, a weapon of mass destruction.  Anyone trying to argue that there were no WMD's in Iraq needs to have their head examined.  THE ENTIRE COUNTRY IS ONE BIG GIANT WMD!  :dangerwillrobinson:
