in our first video of hitler's escape we explored the possibility of hitler faking his death and supposed escape from the fall of berlin to conclude south america as the best possibility of a safe retreat but was it really possible could he have achieved that in today's video nutty history explores the possibility of hitler faking his death and escaping to south america the rumor of hitler escaping to argentina began with joseph stalin himself claiming at the potsdam conference that hitler was not found dead at his furore bunker and perhaps escaped to spain or argentina this claim
by stalin was made despite the red army announcing hitler's death after the battle of berlin and caused enough waves to see doubts and minds of historians and governments alike to look into the possibility of hitler faking his death and escaping stalin's motives have been much speculated upon by historians some believe that the soviet leader wanted to discredit popular potential rivals at home such as zhukov by attempting to place the blame on spain and argentina for sheltering hitler stalin tried to undermine his fascist enemies overseas he may have also wished to maintain the notion of a
continuing threat from hitler as part of a power play in territorial disputes as the allies moved into their zones of occupation in germany but can we discredit the possibility of stalin telling the truth and warning that hitler was still alive and on the run it is true that although berlin's fall was the end of war in europe and nazi oppression it was not the end of nazi ideology as we have seen the resurgence of it again and again in history japan was still fighting the war in asia against allied powers spain though remain neutral in
the second world war was still a fascist regime and argentina was not only a nazi state but had cultural ties with germany also a host of top tier nazi officials do end up in argentina and other south american countries some of these infamous personnel were dr joseph mengele nicknamed the angel of death and chief executor of horrible experiments at the auschwitz camp walter rolfe inventor of the gas chamber joseph schwarmberger otto scorzeny and adolf eichmann one of the architects of the holocaust it is believed that these officers use the wealth they looted from european jews
to entice and ensure a secure escape to argentina and live there without the fear of extradition so it was no doubt if there was even a slim chance of hitler faking his death and fleeing germany that it must have been done to make his way to argentina but the question remains how could hitler have achieved a safe escape through the enemy lines which had germany surrounded from all sides a common consensus among the amateur historians journalists and authors who believe in hitler's successful escape is that hitler made his way out of the fjord bunker by
using hidden tunnels underneath the bunker to make his way to perhaps austria or spain and from there he must have sought passage to south america one of the theories by an amateur historian arthur is that a helicopter took him to austria from there a plane took him to barcelona where he was able to board the submarine that crossed the atlantic to deposit him in patagonia others suppose a land crossing to spain and the submarine these versions do not delve into how he could cross half of europe in those critical months of 1945 argentina was indeed
the real destination to find a residence for the fuhrer a distant land of great expanse and a more than kind recipient of nazis but in this case hitler would not have arrived like the rest of the nazi criminals through the rat route but by submarine despite the intriguing and interesting nature of this type of narrative history with its cold facts always prevails and ends up destroying more entertaining versions two german submarines indeed arrived in argentina after the war the u-530 and the u-977 they did so in order to not have to surrender to british forces
but did they carry any important nazi leader well the official record says no but even for hypothesis if say records were altered how could hitler have achieved that some of these alternate historians do have an answer but a vague one hitler and eva braun escaped from the bunker under the soviet bombs in some vague way they arrived in spain and boarded a submarine that deposited them in patagonia where they live quietly and happily without being disturbed by anyone some believe that hitler stayed in patagonia until he died in 1962 while others claim the hitler couple
traveled through various parts of the continent from mar de plata to colombia some theories even claimed that the couple had two daughters hilariously one whom they suspect could be angela merkel this theory gets even funnier if you put the hitler stash on angela merkel's face but jokes aside can we totally discredit the possibility of hitler living in exile in argentina these potential witnesses would like to differ [Music] abel bastie an argentinian journalist researched extensively on the claims of hitler living and dying in south america long after the second world war had concluded he claimed that
he has the cia document that says hitler was in colombia along with a photo of hitler in the town of tunja meeting with another nazi named felipe citroen in 1954 he also interviewed people who claimed to witness hitler eva braun or both during his stay in colombia abel bastie supposedly has an answer for the biggest concern with hitler's survival how hitler secured a safe passage through enemy lines abel bastie shockingly blames america for it according to bastille there was an agreement with the u.s that hitler would run away and that he should not fall into
the hands of the soviet union this also applies to many scientists the military and spies who later took part in the struggle against the soviet regime he adds that hitler spent a decade in argentina before moving to paraguay and the former fjor died there on february 3rd 1971 another book claims that hitler fled to paraguay and then moved to brazil where he lived in mato grosso and went by the name of adolf leipzig according to witnesses mentioned in the book hitler lived up to the age of 95 and died in 1980 the locals referred to
him as the old german and that his girlfriend cutinga was a local the theory fails to explain what happened to eva braun people who have investigated the possibility of hitler living off his retirement in south america believe the nazis sent a lot of gold to argentina and other south american countries to buy his anonymity and life and also to have enough gold to live off of for the rest of his days archaeologists stumbled upon a secret jungle lair in argentina in 2016 which they believe have been built by nazis to help their leaders escape germany
if the need arose the fbi closed their investigation into hitler's death in 1947 but there were many reported sightings of hitler basically everywhere for a long time none of these were ever verified and many reports were just absurd such as a man who claimed to have had dinner with him or that hitler lived in manhattan it is believed that the fbi has over 700 files regarding adolf hitler some of these have been declassified in the last few years and are available to the public so after all these investigations and reports and sensationalized books how could
we never find hitler how could a man so obsessed with german domination and white supremacy decide to lay low for the rest of his life and live off his final days in anonymity in the next video nutty history will look into the hunt for hitler and go back to the crime scene to find out if hitler never left the bunker and died until then watch our video about how hitler turned german boy scouts into brainwashed soldiers and how hitler survived 44 assassination attempts thanks for watching nutty history
