Many of the buildings were looted, but the equipment were intact. Americans used metal detectors to recover thousands of metal boxes buried with top secret documents. This facility was a treasure trove of documents, yielded the greatest return in the field of research. Where did all those technological advances come from?

The ship and its occupants were spirited away to the dark heart of Nazi Germany, where all was dismantled and diligently studied. A resulting program was called Haunebu.
