Since there’s more and more articles from Italy about Mussolini’s UFO recovery program I would like to contribute. There’s not a lot of info on Monte Soratte, because it wasn’t open to the public before 2008, it was occupied by NATO up to this point.
However, over the last couple of months I’ve read and watched incredible amounts of information and video about this mountain, because I was editing a TV show about it. To me, something doesn’t add up in it’s story.
First of all to say that no one knew what was going on there is just dumb. It’s a lonely mountain in proximity to Rome and it’s clearly visible from miles away; it was built by hundreds of Italian workers, some of them lived in Sant’Oreste, a town perched on the mountains’ side. It was obvious for everyone in the area that something is going on there from the start.
So not a very secretive location for a military base if you ask me. A bunker capable of withstanding nukes? Sure but they started building it years before there were nukes, and Mussolini never got to use the bunker anyway.
For some time now I’ve been trying to put peoples interest here and there on this sub on this mountain, because I edited a 44 min episode about Mussolini’s secret bunkers (including Monte Soratte) for History Channel UK. I think it’s coming out soon, probably in May, but it’s also gonna be available on other platforms and TV stations, for example RTL Germany and their streaming services.
The show is called Dictators’ Hideouts and it’s episode no 2.
If I may, I would like to paste my previous commentary here about Mussolini’s secret underground bunker just north of Rome.. Dear mods, it’s been modified since and I don’t farm for karma. I honestly hope to spark a conversation and maybe we can all get to the bottom of this.
Before ww2 Mussolini had built a network of underground tunnels 4,5 kilometers long, under Monte Soratte, a lonely mountain 50km north of Rome. Some tunnels are so vast that cars, trucks and tanks could be parked inside (and some of them can be found there to this day). There’s also strong evidence that Kesselring himself flew to Monte Soratte. He used a Fieseler Storch aircraft – a small plane with retractable wings. The plane could easily fit in the tunnels and be hidden there. So if a small plane fits…
There were rumors about Nazis hiding stolen Italian gold in the tunnels (when Germany took over Italy) but it was never found. The tunnels were not open to the public until 2008, because after the war and during the Cold War, NATO took control over the tunnels. They built a fallout shelter inside the Mussolini’s bigger structure, so a bunker within a bunker.
Mussolini chose this mysterious mountain as a place to build his greatest hideout because he talked to pope Pius, who recommended Monte Soratte as the best spot for a bunker. And that’s because the Vatican had already been using the natural caves under the mountain as their hideout for precious items and artifacts. Some of the the tunnels under the mountain were opened as a museum last summer. I’ve been wondering if the Nazi gold story was a coverup of something else, maybe UFO artifacts.
At one point, the Allies tried to bomb Monte Soratte with more than 200 bombers (for real), but the bunker underneath survived.
My episode features high quality, archive video footage from this bombardment, which I personally found and chose from a huge archive of American war propaganda materials. Original voiceover states this shows the attack on Kesselring HQ. Someone ignorant might have missed this footage entirely because you gotta at least know that he meant Monte Soratte by that – and I was right, and with some contrast adjustment you can see Allies bombing the shit out of the mountain.
10% of German soldiers died but the bunker survived and could still function. It makes you wonder what was so important there that they chose to defend themselves instead of running away. Why would you choose to protect a bunch of rocks on the outskirts of Rome. It’s not like the bunker could house a significant amount of soldiers or vehicles to be deployed somewhere quickly. We know that Germans had their comms center there, utilizing Enigma and other tools, so there’s that, maybe they needed to protect the comms center… or the gold… or the most precious artifact in human history – off world tech? Who knows.
And why were the Americans so eager to destroy these tunnels and Germans within? The war was almost over, they could just wait them out. Instead they commenced one of their greatest bombardments during ww2, and to my surprise there’s little information online about that incredible action.
So Monte Soratte was controlled by the Vatican, the fascists, the nazis, and finally NATO until 2008. Maybe for a reason, maybe they were all hiding something huge there that can’t be easily moved… maybe they needed to finish up their work on the artifacts, or make sure all traces of their work there are gone…
