Contradicted by historical research
Expedition records and subsequent exploration do not support construction or resupply.
Editorial assessment of this proposition; not a numeric confidence score.
Claim or proposition being examined

Limitations
Documentation establishes historical circulation of the claim, not its truth; see counterevidence and source roles.
Scope of catalog verification
Source existence and described claim checked via web search/excerpts; not independent validation of alleged event.
Research context
British Antarctic Survey documents Operation Tabarin as a secret wartime base-building expedition. This historical context does not establish the alleged Nazi-base assault.
