The first time I properly laid my eyes upon Nanga Parbat was when I was driving back from Hunza to Raikot. You spot it just a little south of Gilgit city along the Karakoram Highway. And she looked jaw-dropping that morning.
But that's not the part that gets you. It's when you've driven at 60-70 km/h for nearly two hours and you realize that the size and scale of the mountain looks unchanged is when you seriously begin to grasp the scale of what you're seeing. Or rather your brain attempting and failing to comprehend it.
I have been all over this country. Outside of the Baltoro glacial region (where K2 and all the other famous 8000ers are), I've seen them all. Rakaposhi, Passu, Ultar Sar, Spantik. All those famous 7000ers. I've sat underneath their moonlit glisten, mesmerized by their scale and beauty. But Nanga Parbat is both jaw-dropping and foreboding. She rises above all the others, almost as if she knows what she is. A cruel, unforgiving, yet breathtaking work of nature.
If anyone reading this ever gets the chance to camp at Fairy Meadows or the Nanga Parbat Base Camp, take it in a heartbeat without thinking twice. No words I put down here can do justice to the sensations you experience when you find yourself there. For me, it was a very emotional and humbling experience. One I can never do justice in describing.

So in regards to modern toilets, just because this is a random bit of info I know and never have anywhere to share it:
In Ballater (Scotland, not far from Balmoral Castle where Elizabeth just died) at the train station the toilets weren’t good enough for Queen Victoria and a local councillor wrote to Great North of Scotland Railway demanding a more regal toilet be built for Victoria, the letter was actually pretty passive aggressive and a funny read, my favourite excerpt is
“Should the Railway not have the funds to do so, I have no doubt other Railways drawing advantage from the traffic would gladly contribute, although I think you will agree it would look better coming from the Deeside Railway alone, if you could manage it”
GNoSR did indeed manage to pay for the new toilet, the toilet and hand wash basin are made from China, and it had elaborate wooden panels all around to make it look nicer. At the time they were the fanciest toilets in Ballater and NE outside of her royal residence. I’ve been to see them as a local hotel bought the toilet (Ballater has a lot of royal history so a hotel buying Queen Vic’s toilet as a tourist piece is not strange in the slightest!) and it’s FANCY fancy, like it’s very beautiful hand cast China!
And that’s it, that’s my random toilet related fact, where everyone else was using whatever was available, but Queen Vic truly had a “throne” deserving of a Queen.

Interesting story, but is there any chance in future installments that you try to match the stock footage with the actual people involved? I mean, you go from showing the obvious mugshots of the perps and describing a bit of their family circumstance to a clip of some blonde on a hill with two little white boys, and it's quite the jump. You're not the only one who does this, but it just seems rather lazy and is annoying, as it takes one out of the story you're trying to tell. Perhaps just not show the mugshots if you want to paint a narrative that doesn't contain racial elements, that way you can tell a true story using fictional representations and no one will be none the wiser. This way is just odd, disconcerting, and leaves you open to nitpicky criticisms like this one. Otherwise, you tell a good story, and I think you'll give MrBallen a good run for the money if you keep it up.
Correction: A blonde, a boy, and a man on a hill, not two boys. I need better glasses.

As a former saturation diver in the North Sea, I'm guessing that one of your future "Saturation Diver Nightmare" stories, will be the Byford Dolphin incident? Although, to tell the truth, just about every saturation diving incident... tends to be nightmarish. I became a diver working for a company that serviced BP's rigs just a few years after Byford (which was a Norwegian Rig); it featured heavily in our training of what NOT to do when handling a diving bell as a tender. I still get the occasional nightmare just thinking about it.
Once my contract was up... I had to swear to my wife that I would never again stick my head below the water as a diver (in any capacity). She didn't want to become a widow or make my daughter grow up without a father. Overblown? I don't know... maybe. But I wasn't the one sitting ashore for a month and a half waiting for... "the call". It's been a bit over 30 years, and I've kept that promise to both of them. My wife's reasoning back then was that, around the time I became a diver, BP negligently killed a diver. His widow sued, and they paid her off with roughly a half million dollar settlement. You would think... "okay... now they know they'll have to pay dearly for doing this in the future, so they won't do it, right?" Except... it cost them over a million dollars A DAY to have an offshore well shutdown. So, having done the math (which was stupendous because she was normally pretty terrible at math)... she reasoned that, "if it costs them a million a day for the well to be shutdown, but only a half million to make some diver's wife a widow by sending him into the water, to turn it back on... in the middle of a hurricane... which one do you think they're going to do?"

The Walter story was one that interested me for a bit but as with some of the work covered by Paulides in his book(s) sourcing is not great. But the simple fact that we can name the instances someone went missing in a dense remote forest/ wilderness area is proof enough it’s not really THAT mysterious, I imagine some of the lore is from what you mentioned and there’s loosely, and I mean Loosely, some reference to geomagnetic disruptions in the region but that’s also not too dissimilar to mountainous regions with unexplored material. The one thing I never got over is his date missing sad always incorrect. Maybe small but if you can’t get that right how can the history of the events be trusted ya know? No one ever documented his disappearance well so if was late January and they got the day wrong simply, well then he managed to survive over four months in the woods alone. With no supplies. Absolutely 0% chance. Not happening.
So, he set out of course with other plans. He must have known who he was meeting: given his wife’s lack of mention of this for months, he was either prone to this extended absence or informed her though likely after that long she would have mentioned suspicion. keep in mind one thing you never mentioned ( or maybe I missed sorry if so), the Slovak state founded in march of 1939… DIRECTLY in his disappearance window. He was found in Zlaté Moravce and client state to Nazi germany. Try to imagine how mission critical espionage and counter spying was during this time… ESPECIALLY at factories. Bata shoe company has a bonafide connection to Birkenau and was convicted in US courts not aiding in Nazi resistance as was the figure head convicted in absentia.
Which is significant. The complicated history of someone like Agnelli contrasts nicely here not all companies just went along with Nazi occupation. And many openly defied them especially in military spaces like aircraft construction. But there was some protection of Jewish workers made that was also proven it must be said . Either way, the simple fact the nazis had a hand at Bata is what matters to this story.
Immediately upon existence this cleric state of the Slovak republic immediately had Jewish discrimination implemented. One would imagine at the factory Walter worked as well as the region he was found “spies” were needed aka snitches to the party. Walter would also be a prime person to use for any other low level operations on either side given he had a family and cover to be traveling frequently long distances across contested territory. I would bet my final dollar he was involved in some sort of active political operation, whether that be axis aligned or anti-Nazi. I would wager the former if I had to given he overtly set out on a trip that from the start makes zero sense. One would think he might be more considerate of his plans if he was planning to miss work but be discreet. His state and possible torture would make a bit of sense as it was 1939 a few months removed from kristallnacht but well before death camps. I still highly doubt if a suspected Jewish person he’d be alive at all or strong enough after capture to escape and survive just from the brutal conditions at the time. I would guess again wild speculation based on incomplete, unavailable sourcing Nazi sympathizers suspected him of double crossing or in the event he was a sympathizer himself, anti Nazi groups may be less inclined execute him but want any information he may have been passing to officials.
Anyways, the region was a considerable political hornets nest. By statistics alone I find it utterly impossible a military aged male could survive months in the coldest part of the year alone no supplies in a very critical region geopolitically between Austria and Poland in the general vicinity of Bratislava making suspicious day trips working for a Nazi aligned factory and NOT have some hand in the upheaval on either side of the political spectrum. It’s the one time where a strange disappearance I would say has this more “extravagant” tale where as 9/10 I personally would fail to see how a disappearance isn’t just someone starting over or unfortunately going out on their terms. Both are more common than we like to sometimes admit/accept.
Another interesting connection, well done sir - have a fantastic Sunday!
