I removed the bit about "mystery of nazi submarines", because it was very badly written and I couldn't understand what was supposed to be the essence of it. It is completely believable, though, that Kriegsmarine was operating in Tierra del Fuego during WW2, among other places, considering a lot of the wartime shipping between Germany and Japan during the war was done by U-boots. It's also believable that Auer was somehow involved with it, considering that he had connections to the region before and after the war and also close connections to Germany.

However, with the only quoted source being a web page involving stuff about UFO's, for now I think it's reasonable to remove this bit. Then there's the Youtube video, from which there seemed to be a poor double-translation from Finnish via Spanish to English in the article. The narrator says, translated to the best of my ability from Finnish to English: "... They have held a meeting in Berlin, in which the world has been repartitioned between the allies of Germany. What is now Belgian Congo has been reserved for Finland. My own tasks included assisting the Germans in establishing a submarine base in Tierra del Fuego. The base has indeed been established." I'm not familiar with the documentary from which this clip evidently is from, so the context of the quote is completely unclear to me.

Currently the article has a gap what comes to mister Auer's activities between 1938 and 1946, so it obviously could be made better. --Antti Salonen (talk) 07:53, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] swampgeologist and Kriegmarine Base

I rewrite the article cause Vaino Auer was a swampgeologist , that was the center of his studies on Chilean and Argentinian Patagonia, his studies shows a remarkable unknown volcan activity in Patagonia: http://209.85.207.104/search?q=cache:V5kNLx_udiQJ:www.ses.fi/dokumentit/Finnish%2520Documentary%2520Films%25202006.pdf+vaino+auer&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=2 I put some reference too about the sponsotship in the construction of the German Kriegmarine military base cause its important to know all aspect in a Biography. even if we think that was good or bad, even if we dont undestand some issues. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 163.247.70.72 (talk) 14:44, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
