The Cold War

Currently Playing: How The United States Army Planned to hide Nukes under the Ice: Project Iceworm

Our historical documentary series on the history of the Cold War continues with a video looking at US Army plans to build a field of nuclear-armed missiles under Greenland's Icecap. We look at the reasons for the plan, how tests were conducted, life at the test base, as well as the fraught legacy left behind.
