I am clueless as to what you have mapped on the globe perhaps you could explain? Other than that I believe that the Germans retreated there to a base along with their advanced technology.   Excerpt link to full below.

%%Hitler's Frozen Base%%

The fact that an opinion has been widely held is no evidence whatever that it is not utterly absurd.

\- Bertrand Russell, 1872-1970

A wise man ... proportions his belief to the evidence - David Hume, 1711-1776

In the late 1930's, the Nazi's showed an interest in Antarctica and sent a expedition to survey a part of it and claim it for Germany, the claim was not continued but it sowed the seeds for a whole range of fantasies about secret things that might be going on.

%%What really happened?%%

Neuschwabenland

A little known German expedition to Antarctica from the 17th of December 1938 to the 12th of April 1939 on the ship MS Schwabenland had the purpose of claiming an area now known as Dronning Maud Land mainly to protect the German whaling industry. This area however had been previously explored by Norway and was formally claimed by the Norwegians in January 1939 after the Germans had set sail but before they arrived in Antarctica.

MS Schwabenland, late 1930's, with one of two Dornier flying boats towards the stern which was launched by a steam catapult, on return it would land on the sea and taxi to the ship to be brought aboard by a crane.

The Drygalski mountains in Dronning Maud Land, about 200km inland from the coast, previously central "New Swabia", view from the north looking inland, 1995.

The Schwabenland was equipped with a steam catapult and two Dornier Wal flying boats which were used to photographically survey 600,000 square kilometres. About a dozen aluminium flags were dropped from the aircraft at turning points of flight polygons and others were left by foot expeditions, none of these have ever been recovered. The land surveyed was claimed by Germany in August 1939 as "Neuschwabenland" named from the ship. The outbreak of war prevented two further planned expeditions and the possible building of a base, though most probably to the other side of Antarctica in the Pacific sector away from the Norwegian claim, the claim was abandoned in 1945.
