Hi I am a Photographer, Publishing and Tourism Consultant who has travelled the world, I will be using this blog to repost news I find interesting and sometimes my own views on our mad world. Both “font” and “fount” are derived from the Latin fons. One figurative meaning of both “font” and “fount” in American dictionaries is a source of something, I use it because it links nicely with the idea of ‘A Font of Knowledge’ which makes a great blog title

Germany in Antarctica During World War 2

This wonderful hardback facsimile is of a now rare book published in Paris, France in 1947 in paperback form and written in French by Ladislas Szabo a Hungarian born Argentine living in Argentina at the end of the Second World War. All the stories of Hitler escaping to Germany first started with this book, as it explains in detail how Hitler using a phantom convoy of U-boats was able to flee Europe and reach the relative safety of South America, and then on to Antarctica. This is this book that the Ex Captain of U-Boat 977, Heinz Schaeffer talks about in his 1952 book "U-Boat 977" where he talks about surprisingly discovering that his was one of the ships named to have helped Hitler reach to Antarctica. The book goes on to give details on Nazi underground bases in Antarctica, again from this one book you will see how all the movies showing Hitler and Nazi bases hidden in Antarctica were created even leading up to the later stories and conspiracy theories of the Americans being attacked by Nazi Wunderwaffe during Operation HighJump.
This book covers Antarctica in the 1920s to 1940s, before, during and after the Schwabenland Expedition, a fully illustrated book showing a hidden side to the continent of Antarctica and maybe showing something that is missing from the standard history books.
These books were what movies were turned into such as:
OPEN LETTER TO THE BIG FOUR
MM. George C. Manshall, Vyacheslav Molotov, Ernest Bevin and Georges Bidault. Excellencies, The guns fell silent but peace has not yet returned to earth. Almost two years after the end of the fight, the feeling of insecurity continues to dominate the minds of the crowds. Guided by an infallible instinct, people realize that Nazism remains a hidden peril. They know that Hitlerism was only defeated in the fields of battle and wait for the opportunity to take revenge. This fear is not exaggerated. Is there, by any chance, a pen capable of describing the horrors that humanity would have to endure if Nazism triumphed again? Could anyone foresee how far the madness of the currently deeply humiliated Hitlerism would reach, if by some eventuality it succeeded in dominating the world ? The danger is palpable and he acquires proportions of larger and larger, as the recently discovered bacterial conspiracy in Germany clearly demonstrates.
The underground organizations of Nazism will cease to exist as such when they have enough strength to reappear in the light of day, and they will not hesitate to return to open struggle as soon as they receive the Fuhrer's instructions. Because, in an immense majority, the Germans believe, and not without reason, that Hitler is not dead.
Excellencies, On July 16, 1945, the author of this work published in the columns of the Argentinian newspaper Critica an extensive and amply documented article on Hitler's flight and Location of his refuge. The events at the time fully corroborated the assertions made in the said article and made it possible to shed light, even in its smallest details, this astounding mystification which has no precedent in history. Yes, Hitler is alive and he must be stopped before it is too late. This book, based on carefully filtered documentation and written with a full sense of the responsibility, is a cry of alarm to men who love peace and freedom.
There is no doubt that Your Excellencies will appreciate the concrete facts set out in his pages and that they will take without delay the appropriate measures to avoid a new storm of blood and fire, the consequences of which would be catastrophic for the whole world. Thereby ecite the conscience of Your Excellencies and the supreme duty of the Big Four to Mankind.
Big Business Events OK perhaps not for me, but I was so disappointed and it kept reminding me of the old time share events we all used to attend. I was sent an invite for a free business event and owning a publishing company this is normal. What is not so normal is the hidden costs. Parking in a hotel car park costs £10 for all day! Did I have to pay? well no I hide the car in the delivery area where the event organizers also hide their cars. The setting up staff were very rude when I was looking if there was a welcoming drink. The hotel staff did feel sorry for me and did me a cup of tea. The meeting was 9am to 5pm and with no drinks or snacks! 8 hours and no offer of refreshment! If you wanted a biscuit or coffee you had to go out and buy it. Now they did do a snack at lunch time with a special talk with the speakers … But only if you upgraded your ticket from free to VIP at a cost of abou...

Of all the books I have created on Antarctica over the years I have only had one that I was forced to Bowdlerize and reprint to get around social media censorship including facebook. I was very pleased with my design and translation of the text and sure did not expect the reaction I got. Look the background book cover photo, it is one that I took when in Antarctica ! And yes I am one of the few antarctic Book publishers that has been to Antarctica ! Walmart is a dangerous Organisation !

Reviewed By Steve Wroe Even after all of this time, the name Antarctica still awakens visions of that mysterious place and reminds us of those great explorers from the ‘Heroic age’. Scott, Shackleton, Amundsen etc. Whilst the stories of these great explorers have been told and retold, this book ‘With Scott Before the Mast’ offers a whole new perspective on Scott’s tragic final expedition. The book offers a viewpoint from this expedition which is unique, as it traces the experiences of Scott’s final expedition from the observations of a member of the crew of the Terra Nova, Francis Davies, Leading Shipwright RN. ISBN 9781901037555 The book is based upon his own journals which trace his experiences in chronological order from his background before applying to join the expedition right through the lifespan of the expedition and the Terra Nova’s return to Cardiff almost one year from setting sail. The language throughout the book is clearly in Davies in his own wor...
With Scott Before the Mast Book Review by Paul Hart As a former Royal Navy Officer, who came from the ranks, I was hugely interested in this book and potential insights that it offered from a very different perspective than other books I have read about Scott. I am delighted to say that I was not disappointed and actually, the writings of Francis Davies offered not only an insight into Scott and the Terra Nova Expedition, but also the norms and the way that both the navy and society operated. In itself, this combination allows for a detailed consideration of the basis by which the expedition was undertaken and Scott’s leadership was executed. As a fellow naval Officer, who has led mixed groups of military and civilians in highly challenging environments and with a background of 30 years of expedition across the globe, I understand the complexities of managing mixed groups where the leadership of the military might necessarily be different to that needed to m...
