À propos de ce contenu audio

In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore Greenland's pivotal role during World War II and the early Cold War. After the Nazi occupation of Denmark in 1940, Greenland became a strategic asset for the Allies. Lucas tells the story of the Sledge Patrol — a Danish-led, Inuit-manned unit that tracked German weather stations along the coast, including the dramatic shootout at Eskimonaes. He explains why the US built Thule Air Base in 1951, turning a remote Inuit village into a linchpin of Arctic defense against the Soviet Union. The episode delves into the forced relocation of the Inughuit people from their hunting grounds near Thule to make way for the base, a controversy that echoes in Danish-Greenlandic relations today. Lucas also touches on the secret Project Iceworm and the abandoned Camp Century, where the US planned to deploy nuclear missiles under the ice. The conversation weaves together military history, strategic geography, and the human cost of superpower rivalry in the Arctic.
