Jawohl, but we also can't ignore the B-movie roots of the Karotechia.
Sometimes you have to let the special effects budget spiral out of control
in order to have a good time. Secret Volcano Base isn't about sanity
shattering horror as much as it's about Grand Visual Spectacle, and Red
Skull Ubervillany.
Things which might be found in SVB and Dr. Gunter Frank's LAH-BORR-A-TORY:
* V-7 HANEBBU Vril powered Flying Saucers
V-7-Zero Flugkreisel Interceptor
V-7-X Flugerods Space-Saucer
V-77 Flugscheiben Mothership
The pilots of these aircraft are genetically altered Aryans who might be
connected to Nordics, K'n-Yan, or the Hollow Earth gate to the alternate
dimension parallel world where the Nazi's won WWII.
- Welteislehre Glaciation Device (An Atomic-powered Ice Bomb)
- Dr. Gunter Frank's Cybernetic Neurosurgery controlled Elektro-
Zombies, complete with bolts in their necks and Blitzenfaust
Superconductor claws.
- A giant sonic/ELF cannon, like HAARP is purported to be, only
smaller.
- The experimental Temporal Chrono-Oscillator. A Time Machine go
back and win the war.
- The Space Mirror, to direct the Sun's rays onto the enemies of
the Fourth Reich.
- The Spear of Longinus, and one pissed off Casca the Centurion!
- Cloned Dinosaurs from the Hollow Earth! Fake Racially Selective
Bioweapons (they affect everyone, but Dr. Frank claims they
ffect only sub-humans), Death Rays!, Glowing Green Meteors,
The Sunken Wreckage of the Dark Mistress, The faulty Mind-Transfer
machine, The Shrinking Ray (forgot to build a growth ray, I'm
afraid - Honey, I shrunk the SS), and much much more...
I was also thinking that when the Investigators get to La Estancia and
find that cheesball Bitterich, they discover his brain placed in a
makeshift Brain Cylinder made of clear glass so they can see the aquarium
bubbles, little plastic diver and cheesy treasure chest.

And the AUM Shinrikyo Earthquake Ray (someone in The Japan Times Weekly was
spouting off about how AUM caused the big earthquake about 4 years back).
Actually, AUM was working on all sorts of insane weapons, which were of
course smuggled out and handed over to the unholy Karotechia/Unit 731
alliance.
On a lighter note, the deadly Cheese Bombs, from Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid
(Nazi: "At least we got Terra Haute, Indiana......" (dies) Steve Martin:
"Damn, and they just got a new public library.").

As a German invention, would this be referred to as the
"Teutonic Tectonic Lever"? :)

"Manmade Earthquakes for Fun & Profit"? Sounds like a mad-science
tome by that well-known team Dr. Si Smologist and Professor Richter F.
Tershok! :)

Hmm.... So my previous suggestion about the IJN/731 technology transfer to
the Kriegsmarine/Karotechia might be plausible after all? Scary!

Too bad! Couldn't they send an update to the delivery system's
guidance computer to shift the target to someplace that wouldn't be
missed, such as Huntington, West Virginia? :)
