2 documented theories filed under this subject.
- The "Statue of Liberty" ExplosivesThere is a real story about explosives and the Statue of Liberty, and it is not the one the theory tells. On 30 July 1916 German saboteurs detonated two million pounds of munitions across the water, and the torch has been closed to visitors ever since.
- The French Maginot Line Hollow TheoryThe French Maginot Line Hollow Theory claimed that the celebrated French defensive line was, in whole or in part, a façade of cardboard, paint, theatrical concrete shells, or exaggerated propaganda masking corruption and stolen defense funds. The theory emerged from the shock of France’s 1940 collapse, when a real and extremely expensive fortification system had failed to stop German victory, encouraging allegations that the line itself had been materially fraudulent rather than merely strategically bypassed.
