Where did Adolf Hitler die?

hi,

history tells us that Adolf Hitler commited suicide along with his newly wedded wife eva braun on 30 April 1945 in the fuhrerbunker. But there is a "conspricay" in which bacically says that 2 body doubles of the fuherer and eva go into the fuhrerbunker and they killed theselves, whilst the real Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun fled to argentina. My "source" for this "conspriacy" is a program i watched a while ( i cannot remember the name of the program).

My question is this: Did Hitler really flee to Argentina? or did he commit suicide?

Sidenote:- If Hitler did commit suicide, why did thew USSR take his remains and "claim" that the skull they had was that of Hitlers? please bear in mind that years later, scienetists ran tests on the skull and the results of that test where that of a women in her 40s

thanks

 

ok thanks

Or read Trevor-Roper's "The Last Days of Hitler." He was a British intelligence officer who interviewed witnesses and studied primary documents about Hitler's death in the period just after it happened. As Eisenhower said about the death camps “Get it all on record now - get the films - get the witnesses - because somewhere down the road of history some bastard will get up and say that this never happened.” No serious historian of Nazi Germany (Kershaw et al) has ever found a reason to dispute Trevor-Roper's findings. So, I suppose it comes down to this - believe people who have studied this subject all their lives and whose aim is to further understanding and knowledge, or believe a sensationalist TV programme which has the sole purpose of getting as many people to watch as possible. The former might be more boring, but quite often the truth is boring.

 

In any case, as Monty Python has proved on film, he went to a seaside boarding house in Minehead. along with Himmler and von Ribbentrop. Their old friend Mussolini ran the nearby Axis Cafe.

 

A most revealing a account and recognised as official of what occurred in the Chancellery bunker and the comings and goings on which marked the end of the Third Reich.Years later there was a controversy that Bormann had escaped from Germany.Trevor Roper was able to account through the witness of Axmann being with Bormann and others leaving the bunker in the escape of 1 May. Axmann went further and declared he had seen both Bormann and Stumpfegger (Hitler's latest doctor) laid out dead,victims of the Soviet onslaught to take Berlin.

 

Harry Ree i already knew that

 

A book called The Berlin Bunker, by James P O'Donnell, is worth a look. Incidentally, this is the site of the bunker in Berlin, taken on a visit there a few years ago.

 

ok

 

Von Poop mentioned a very good book, written with these conspiracy theories in mind, best known of them is "Project Grey Wolf" which was the basis ( largely) for the "Hunting Hitler" series, Why James Holland took up with it I will never know ( other than he was paid to take part), the whole thing was something of a well presented shambles. ( I loved the way their " experts" instantly declared things to be bunkers, command posts and observation towers, or said they might be or "this is where I would place a guard post", instantly they were beyond question " the bunker", "the command post" or "the defensive wall" etc).
There is buried in the forum a long discussion in which the author of "Grey Wolf" seeking to push his book was really taken to task and has his theories dismembered, he was at one stage threatening "legal action" on some members.
I recall asking Gerrard Williams why having established that Hitler had two daughters alive and well in South America and having come so far he would not carry on and locate them, he fobbed me off saying that this would be for someone else to do.
(For someone trying to prove his case beyond any and all reasonable doubt a rather half-hearted answer.).

Professor Richard Evans has a book on various aspects of " alternative history" including "Hiter's Escape to South America" he will I am sure fully explain how and why it is an utter crock of junk, in an evidenced-based manner similar to that which Luke Daly-Groves did.

James S i agree

 

In my opinion he committed suicide and his body was hastily burned as they wanted to flee the advancing Russians. His and Eva Braun's remains are locked up in a Russian vault somewhere and they used the skull fragments to say that's all was left ! Obviously DNA/Forensic testing was available back then. I do like some of the "conspiracy theories" though !

 

Has anyone been watching the TV series 'Hunting Hitler?' I would recommend anyone to watch, if you haven't you've been missing a very interesting series but you'd need to see all the programmes from the first to the last.

 

hi Tim L i have watched that,

 

They are uncovering an impressive amount of evidence that Hitler and a lot of high ranking Nazis did actually survive and escape to South America. I know that many will be sceptical and unbelieving but the evidence thus far is very compelling.

 

Sigh...
Adolf Hitler definitely died in 1945 in Berlin, from taking cyanide and a bullet, according to French researchers who were given rare access to fragments of the dictator's teeth held in Moscow.
In March and July 2017, Russia's secret service the FSB and the Russian state archives authorised a team of researchers to examine the bones of the dictator, for the first time since 1946
As it stands, the fragment's morphology was "totally comparable" to radiographies of Hitler's skull taken a year before his death, the research found.
"The teeth are authentic, there is no possible doubt. Our study proves that Hitler died in 1945. We can stop all the conspiracy theories about Hitler. He did not flee to Argentina in a submarine, he is not in a hidden base in Antarctica or on the dark side of the moon," professor Philippe Charlier told AFP.
Charlier, a specialist in medical and legal anthropology, was also involved in the analysis of the mummified heart of Richard Lionheart.

BTW, the study is linked in post #4

For those who really cannot resist indulging in flights of fantasy regarding Hitler and the Nazi's, at least be well entertained:

 

If you want really odd there is the novel Eagle Rising by David Devereux, about an agent in British occult security who penetrates a neo nazi society that has found a way to break Hitler out of hell! Not a novel for the squeemish though.
