The Arctic occupied a special place in the plans of the Third Reich. The waters of the northern seas were accessible to German submarines, the numerous Arctic islands were ideal locations for repair bases and tracking stations, and the northern sea routes were of great strategic importance for Germany. In addition, according to some reports, Hitler’s plans included the construction of facilities for the so-called Uranium Project in the European north. One of them may have been built in the Kola Bay under the rocks of the Devkina Backwater.
