Kalte Gruesse aus Neu-Schwabenland... :wink:
Only in 1938/39 a german expedition (with A.Ritscher, Shipname was MS Neu-Schwabenland) was startet to the South-Pole, but mostly with a geographically mission see more:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_Germ ... Expedition
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deutsche_A ... on_1938/39
In this expedition they used also a Dornier Do Wal. A fourth mission was planed by Ritscher in the 40ties also used a aircraft, now with ski. But I have no informations what aircraftmodell. The mission was cancelled because the worldwar was startet. The german navy was also planed in 1940/41 a mission to the antarctica (mission was to find a good place for a small U-Boat base) - but was cancelled, too...
Greenland: A lot of missions was startet to Greenland, Iceland, Jan Mayen, Bear-Isle and Spitzbergen. Mostly Recci, Weather-Recci and Transportmissions with He 111, Ju 88 etc. and some seaplanes, very adventurously stories...
The Luftwaffe and Marine also build and installed many small weatherstations (manned and unmanned) in this area, they build also some small and veeery extemporised airfields, more landingstripes as airfields.
Hey, A mapmod would be cool! :wink:

title: Wetterflieger in der Arktis 1940 bis 1944, autors: W.Schwerdtfeger and F.Selinger
