WW2 Mysteries

The Ghost of a Soldier.
This photo was taken of soldiers in Egypt during WW2,
There is clearly a ghost in the background.



The Ghost Plane of Pearl Harbor
December 8, 1942 an unknown plane was detected on radar, approaching Pearl Harbor from the ocean of Japan.
The U.S. sent patrols to examine the area, they discovered that the plane was a P40 Warhawk.
It was the same type of plane that the U.S. was using the previous year during the attack on Pearl Harbor and which had ceased being used.
Looking at the aircraft, they noticed that the plane had been perforated by gunfire.
The pilot still inside, bloody and slouched over the cockpit and waving at the patrol.
The plane then crash landed.
The search team was unable to find a body or any sign of a pilot being in the craft.
There was only a diary found, describing the planes departure from Mindanao.


What Happened to Raoul Wallenberg
He was a Swedish entrepreneur and a philanthropist.
He ran and operation to produce forged papers for Jews to protect them from internment in concentration camps.
Up until the liberation of Budapest in 1945, over 100,000 Jews able to remain free from detention.
Wallenberg was captured by Soviet forces in 1945.
No one is sure what happened to him after that.
The Soviet physician that was tending to Wallenberg suggested that he passed away in 1947 following a heart attack at Lubyanka prison.
There are prison records where Wallenberg, Prisoner 7, was interrogated for 16 hours in July 1947, several days after his supposed death.
In 2009, there was suggestions of an ongoing investigation in to what happened to him.


The Amber Room
It was located in Russia and was looted by the Nazi's during WW2.
It was reconstructed and put on display in Conisbrough up until 1945.
It's location since, has been a mystery.
The original place was at Catherine Palace, located in the town of Tsarskoye Selo.
It was constructed in Prussia at the beginning of the 18th century.
The room had Amber boards with gold leaves and mirrors.
After the Nazi invasion of the USSR during WW2, the Russian's tried to extract the priceless art inside and around Leningrad.
They had begun to disassemble the Amber Room.
The artifacts began to disintegrate with attempt to move them.
They decided to cover it with wallpaper.
Nazi forces discovered this and dismantled the Amber Room in 36 hours.
Then they transported it to a castle in Conisbrough.
January 1945, the city of Conisbrough was going to be invaded by the Red Army.
Hitler ordered all of his artifacts to be evacuated outside of the city.
However, Erich Koch, commanded the force in Conisbrough, fled the city before removing the Amber Room.
August 1944, the city was impacted by a firebombing raid.
The city was largely destroyed.
After the war, there was various reports of people having pieces of the Amber Room.
There are some accounts of the Amber Room being loaded onto a German passenger freight called the Wilhelm Gustloff.
January 1945, the ship sank after being intercepted by Soviet submarine.
In 2004,  two British reporters concluded that the Amber Room probably was destroyed during the firebombings in Conisbrough.
Now a replica of the Amber Room, that was commissioned in 1979, rests at the original location.
It took 24 years to complete.
A miniature version is in Berlin.


Foo Fighters
Might be the first UFO sightings ever.
Appeared over Europe and the Pacific.
No clear answer for the sightings have been determined.
The U.S. 415th night fighter squadron came up with the name in WW2.
The term included all airborne phenomena that deemed to be out of the ordinary.
Allied military intelligence suspected the Foo Fighters were covert Nazi weapons used for surveillance or stealth demolition.
January 1953, the Robertson Panel, was established to study and ascertain the UFO sightings.
No conclusive results were ever made.
Two possible explanations were determined however.
One, that it could be St. Elmo's Fire.
St. Elmo's Fire is an atmospheric phenomenon, which causes objects to become illuminated.
The other one is Ball Lightning.
It also is an atmospheric phenomenon which causes luminous spherical objects to materialize and then explode.


Jean Moulin
He was a key figure in the organization of the French Resistance.
June 21st, 1943, German collaborators tipped off the Gestapo, about a meeting of the resistance.
The Gestapo stormed the meeting and arrested Moulin.
This was not the first time he had been seized by German forces.
This time he was tortured before being transported to Berlin, passing away on route.
It has never been known exactly how the Gestapo learned about the meeting.


Anne Frank
The warehouse that her and her family hid in for 2 years was stormed in 1944.
All eight people living there were arrested.
Anne's father was the only one to survive the war.
An unidentified caller led the Gestapo to them.
No indications of who ever made the call has been ascertained.
