10. The Disappearance of Raoul Wallenberg
Raoul Wallenberg was a Swedish diplomat who saved thousands of lives during the Second World War. It was during his stay in Hungary that he made himself known, by abusing false documents and lodging for many Jews. He subsequently disappeared in 1947.
There are many rumors that he was captured by the Soviets before being assassinated. But some people say he was still living in 1987. Raoul Wallenberg’s story remains a mystery.
9. The Pearl Harbor Ghost Plane
There are many stories about ghost planes and strange sightings in the sky around the Second World War, but perhaps none is as surprising as the “Pearl Harbor Ghost Plane”. On December 8, 1942, the day after the attack on Pearl Harbor, an unidentified plane was picked up on the radar and headed towards Pearl Harbor from Japan.
When the American plane was sent to investigate, they discovered that the mysterious plane was a Curtis P-40 Warhawk, which was used by the US military in the defense of Pearl Harbor and has not been used since.
They said the plane was full of bullet holes, and the pilot could be seen inside, bleeding and diving in the cockpit, although it is said that he waved briefly on other planes before the P-40 crashed and landed.
However, when the search team explored the wreckage, none of the pilots have been seen since, and all 14 men on board were presumed dead.
8. The Disappearance of Amelia Earhart
It is widely accepted that World War II pioneer Amelia Earhart and her navigator Fred Noonan went missing in 1937 when their plane crashed in the South Pacific. They were reportedly lost at sea and presumed dead. It was a legendary case of great intrigue because Earhart was a well-known female American pilot and her death was thought to be an act of sabotage.
She was famous for her record-breaking attempts, and when she disappeared, she was about to become the first woman to circle the globe. The Finding of Amelia Earhart’s Body Now, that’s a Hollywood-produced conspiracy theory.
Earhart was nowhere to be found when her plane crashed, and all attempts to find the plane was fruitless.
7. The Los Angeles Battle
This battle was fought between December 16, 1941, and January 8, 1942, near the town of Los Angeles, California. It was a battle that has been hotly debated since its official end.
Many believe that it was the last battle of the war. Others believe that it was simply a skirmish between the United States Army and a handful of Japanese submarines, called, the “Skate,” and the Japanese navy.
While it’s impossible to know for sure, this battle is still one of the greatest mysteries in the history of the United States, and it is certain to remain that way for decades to come.
Many New York City Members of Congress thought that the Japanese were trying to invade the mainland. They were terrified at the thought of such a threat to America, and they had every right to be. The invasion never came.
6. The List of 17 British Soldiers Discovered at Auschwitz
In 2009, researchers at the infamous Nazi concentration camp Auschwitz made an astonishing discovery. During excavations, they found a list containing the names of 17 British soldiers. What the list was a list of is still unclear.
There is still confusion and debate about the list. The list itself is unclear, with it unclear if these are former prisoners of war or defectors who joined the SS. Some names had been marked by them that may indicate something, but it is unsolved.
5. The Disappearance of Nazi Gold Train
In April 1945, the Nazi forces knew that the war was about to end and did not receive their support. According to some accounts, they loaded trains of Nazi treasures, including gold and other valuables looted from Jewish victims of the Holocaust, and sent them on a trip through Owl Mountain, where they disappeared.
Some believe that the train disappeared in a tunnel on the mountain as part of the secret Der Riese facility built by the Nazis during the war. Despite the efforts of countless treasure hunters for decades, the so-called Nazi “ghost train” has never been recovered.
4. The Foo Fighters
The band Foo Fighters was actually formed in the 1990s, but they got their name from a World War II phenomenon. Foo Fighters were strange, unexplained aerial phenomena reported in the skies of Europe by Allied aircraft pilots.
In World War II, Foo Fighters were a real problem. At night, American and British aircraft pilots often find bright lights in the distance. At first, they thought the lights were Russian or German flyers. Until they start to act. The light will change direction and disappear at a faster speed than any aircraft can.
Hundreds of reports were recorded, and some pilots even reported fighting with them. Since no one can figure out what these artifacts are or by whom they are manipulated, they are nicknamed “Foo Fighters”. So far, it is one of the greatest military mysteries of the Second World War.
3. The Mysterious Death of Anne Frank?
Anne Frank’s diary is one of the world’s most famous books, illuminating her experiences as a Jewish teenage girl during the Holocaust. While most of her life can be read, the cause of her death remains a mystery.

2. The Blutfahne
Before the rise of the Third Reich, the infamous Nazi flag had appeared during Hitler’s defeat of Beer Hall Putsch in 1923. In the ensuing battle, the flag was soaked in the blood of the Nazi Brownshirt and became a powerful symbol of the Nazi flag movement.
Throughout the war, Hitler would use replicas of the flag, sometimes called Blutfahne or “Blood Flag” in rallies, but the flag itself last appeared in 1944. Some believe that the blood-stained flag was destroyed during the war. Allied forces bombed Munich, while others asserted that the flag still existed.
1. The Mysterious Death of Adolf Hitler
Adolf Hitler in 1949 Adolf Hitler was a leader of Germany during World War II. He oversaw the death of millions of people through chemical warfare and starvation.
It was believed that the Nazi leader took his own life on April 30, 1945, while seeking shelter in a bunker in the Berlin bunker complex. His body was never found, and much to the horror of the Nazis, it was known that Hitler was missing at the time of the Soviets’ offensive, and therefore, could not have survived the war’s final battles.
A number of conspiracy theorists and cryptologists are also convinced that he faked his own death and that Hitler escaped through a secret tunnel, or submarine, before finally dying in South America or England in late 1945, but till now no one knows the exact true story.
