As I recall there was very solid proof that Hitler committed suicide and the body burnt in his bunker-how do they explain that away? The usual conspiracy by entrenched powers explanation?
I usually pass up the bogus history/aliens crap they run on the History Channel. As I recall there was very solid proof that Hitler committed suicide and the body burnt in his bunker-how do they explain that away? The usual conspiracy by entrenched powers explanation?
IMO probably the biggest disappointment when I got cable was actually seeing what ran on The History Channel.
And the people that they have running and consulting on the project seem more than legit, although offhand I can't remember their qualifications. I know one used to be a commander in the Marshall service for example.
Everything we know about Hitler suggests that if he made it to Argentina there ain't no way he would keep a low profile. To me, it is implausible that a man would go from megalomaniac dictator to hide in obscurity without blowing his own cover.Supposedly staff at some hotel run by Nazi sympathizers would see an old man that looked like Hitler come into the Hotel every once and awhile.
IDK. Maybe not. Remember that Hitler inspired mindless loyalty in many of his followers. It's not unreasonable to think that he could have used such people to carry out his orders. After all, it wasn't Hitler who personally killed people in the death camps. It was people who believed in him.Everything we know about Hitler suggests that if he made it to Argentina there ain't no way he would keep a low profile.

I don't normally like conspiracy type shows but this one seems to make sense. Apparently there was already a significant German community in Argentina even before the war. So it's not like they just picked someplace at random. And it's clear from the first 2 episodes that the Nazi's had influence in certain parts of the country.
And in the latest episode, they show that there is a tunnel leading from the bunker to an airport. That tunnel is now used as a subway line. And it looks like there was another tunnel that was bricked over leading from the subway tunnel to the airport building.
There is also documentation showing that about 16 planes I think left Templhof airport on April 21st or thereabouts which was before the Russians had taken the center of Berlin.

Thing is though I don't think there were any aircraft that could fly that far. Berlin-South America is a long time in the air in a propeller driven airplane and I don't know of any that could manage the 7,000+ miles so the question shifts to what type of transportation was used?.
They covered that in the last episode. Hitler built an extensive tunnel system under Berlin with multiple layers. The easiest way to get out of Berlin once the Red Army had it encircled was by air. They mention some other Nazi commander who was flown out by a female test pilot. Don't remember her name.the hard part to explain is how he got out of Berlin with the red army on his heels.
Submarine. that was the easy part.
the hard part to explain is how he got out of Berlin with the red army on his heels. then to the canary islands to get on the sub.
if Mengele, Eichmann and Barbie can hide out in Argentina for a long time its plausible that Hitler was able to as well.
it has been proven by DNA that the body the Russians recovered outside the bunker WAS NOT Hitler.
History channel started having shows on actual history again?
