In a 2012 interview, Dietrich embellished the fictional stories to include the use of dozens of WW2 era US Naval aircraft, "some Vought XF5U-1 flying disks from America's 'black program', 26 bombers stationed in South America, and a force of 3,500 US Marines flown in from New Zealand in DC-3s who were "obliterated" by the Nazis using "flugelrad" flying discs. Dietrich also described the Seaplane tender USS Pine Island as being a "catapult ship," and stumbled over the same names of other ships Zundel had misspelled. Undeniable proof that Dietrich had copied directly from page 92 of Zundel's book!
Dietrich also claims that James Forrestal, who was then SECNAV (1944) and would become the first Secretary of the newly created Department of Defense in September 1947, "went along for the ride." In his book "Empire Beneath the Ice," (2015) Steve Quayle claims Operation Highjump was a complete failure and proof that "the Nazis won WW2."
