One night several years ago, I had a dream in which it was revealed that the lyrics of Carole King's It Might As Well Rain Until September were actually a code describing a secret intercontinental ballistic missile base located in South El Monte, Calif., somewhere between Rosemead Blvd. and Durfee Ave.

Is this the plot of a comic book being made into the screenplay of a movie to be released for the Christmas film crowd?

Ah, Durfee Avenue. For years I always wondered why there is a Durfee Avenue in El Monte and a Durfee Avenue in Pico Rivera, until I found www.historicaerials.com and was able to see aerial photos from the 1940s. Before the Whittier Narrows Dam was built, Durfee Avenue went all the way through! I can rest easily now.

The Nazis have furnished thriller villains for fiction writers for over half a century.

With all the villains dead they can turn now to buried treasures and secret technologies in partnership with aliens.

Oh, wait, that’s already been done on the History channel.

That is the sort of dream my daughter has. Much more lucid than mine and with interesting plots.

I watched The Lady Disappears, a Hitchcock movie, on TCM Sunday. I had never seen it before. It has some of those same elements. No gold, but spies and a train.

One of the reasons Ike turned away from Berlin and headed south was to take on the rumored National Redoubt, but the Nazis never implemented the strategy. It was one of the greatest intelligence failures of the War. Indeed, when Goebbels realized Allied intelligence was obsessing about a Nazi Redoubt in Bavaria he began a disinformation campaign aimed at giving them "proof," in the form of disinformation planted with soldiers who might become prisoners, plans, diagrams, etc. Ironically, the lack of Ultra intelligence convinced Allied commanders of the truth of the story because Hitler had kept the Ardennes offensive off Ultra by prohibiting any radio traffic about it.

That said, in the last days of the war there was a massive movement of government units, troops and loot into Southern Bavaria to avoid the Red Army. When American troops began to penetrate the region they found hundreds of thousands of German troops but hardly any organized into effective units. This location is right on the Austrian border which in May 1945 was between Americans advancing from the north and the Allied Italian army, which had just penetrated the Brenner Pass and was advancing on Salzburg. The conditions were right for stashing loot in advance of the American arrival.

It will be interesting to see if they find anything.
