8/13/2019 Did Hitler Flee Bunker With Eva to Argentina

Did Hitler flee bunker with Eva to Argentina, have two daughters and live to 73?The bizarre theory that's landed two British authors in a bitter war

Though it was approaching midnight in Berlin, the streets were far from dark. On every street, fires raged out ofcontrol as the intense and savage Russian artillery bombardment crept closer to the centre of the Third Reich. By that late hour on the night of April 27, 1945, there was not one person in Germany who thought that the Nazis

could still win.Deep in his bunker, even the man who had brought such destruction to his country - indeed, to the world - knew thatthe war was over. As Adolf Hitler gazed at a portrait of his hero, Frederick the Great, King of Prussia and a brilliantmilitary mind, he was certain there would be no eleventh-hour reversal of fortune.Scroll down for video

+4There are some who regard Hitler's escape story as the absolute truth

Hitlers route there was tortuous, but necessarily so for the most wanted man in the world. After landing in Denmark,he flew to Spain, where General Franco supplied him with an aircraft to take him to the Canary Islands. From there, the Fhrer took a submarine to the Argentine coast, where he disembarked near the small port ofNecochea, some 300 miles south of Buenos Aires.

Hitler would never again set foot outside Argentina. And though his dreams of a new Reich would never be fulfilled,he did at least find some form of domestic happiness by marrying Eva Braun, with whom he had two daughters. Finally, after 17 years in hiding, one of the most evil men in history died on February 13, 1962, aged 73. It was to hisbitter disappointment that his old foe, Winston Churchill, had outlived him.To most of us, such a story sounds like utter fantasy. But there are some who regard it as the absolute truth.The notion that Hitler escaped from his Berlin bunker has held conspiracy theorists in thrall since the war ended. Ithas now reared its improbable head once more.This weekend, it emerged that the story of Hitlers supposed escape to Argentina has become the subject of a bitterplagiarism row.


5/7

In their book, Grey Wolf: The Escape Of Adolf Hitler, British authors Gerrard Williams and Simon Dunstan argued thatthe Fhrer escaped exactly in the manner described above, and did indeed see out his days in South America.However, an Argentine journalist, Abel Basti, who comes from the Patagonian town of Bariloche, where so manyNazis retired, claims that Williams and Dunstan appropriated his research, and he is seeking compensation.Williams and Dunstan strenuously deny Bastis accusation.Basti did in no way invent the idea of Hitler being alive in Argentina, says Williams. Books on the subject existed asfar back as 1953 and 1987. I have never plagiarised anyones work.

To outsiders, the row looks like three bald men fighting over a comb. The idea that Hitler could have escaped - andkept that escape hidden - seems farcical.And yet many continue to believe it. Tens of thousands of Nazis escaped after the war, including the notorious AdolfEichmann and Josef Mengele. Is it not possible that Hitler escaped with them?

As Gerrard Williams says, there have been many versions of the Hitler escape story, and they have been spun eversince May 1945.In the years immediately after the war, there was no hard proof that Hitler had, in fact, died. One of the problems thatinvestigators encountered was the lack of any physical evidence for his death.The existence of skull fragments, found by the Russians near the Fuhrers bunker and believed to be his, was notknown to the West until 1968. Then, in 2009, DNA testing of the bones revealed that in fact they belonged to awoman.

+4There have been many versions of the Hitler escape story from his bunker (pictured) in May 1945This has given the fantasists added ammunition to claim that Hitler didnt die in the bunker.In the immediate aftermath of the war, British and U.S. intelligence services received countless reports suggestingthe former Nazi leader had been spotted alive and at large.In September 1945, it was claimed that Hitler and his private secretary, Martin Bormann, had boarded a luxury yachtin Hamburg and had sailed to a secret island off the coast of Schleswig-Holstein.The next month, staff at the British Legation in Copenhagen informed the Foreign Office that a Danish woman hadtold them that a friend had dreamed that Hitler was disguised as a monk and living in Spain.In December, the Americans were reliably informed that Hitler had boarded a submarine off the island of Majorca, where he had been living in a hotel with a group of nuclear scientists. Then there were claims that he was living as ahermit in a cave in Italy, or working as a shepherd in the Swiss Alps. There were those who stated that hed hidden himself in Antarctica, or even further away still the Moon! All thesereports, no matter how ridiculous, had to be taken seriously and investigated. One after the other, they were found tobe groundless.

Some were undoubtedly the products of a Soviet disinformation campaign. For a long time, the Russians believedthat the Allies were sheltering Hitler, and they put about these fake stories in an attempt to flush out what theythought to be the truth.In July 1945, the Russian commander Marshall Georgi Zhukov claimed that since Hitlers body had still not beenfound, he could have flown away at the very last moment. Even General Eisenhower, the former Allied supremecommander, appeared to be taken in.

+4Today, the vast majority accept that Hitler shot himself in the bunker (pictured) in Berlin on April 30, 1945

In 1952, he said: We have been unable to unearth one bit of tangible evidence of Hitlers death. Many people believe

that he escaped from Berlin.Today, the vast majority accept that Hitler shot himself in the bunker in Berlin on April 30, 1945.

After the war, the historian and MI6 officer Hugh Trevor-Roper was commissioned to investigate Hitlers death. Hespoke to many of those who were present in the bunker during those last fateful days. They all said the same thing: Hitler had killed himself, and his body and that of Eva Braun were cremated with petrol. If Hitler had hotfooted it to the Southern Hemisphere, then all these people would have had to have been lying - andto have kept it secret until their dying days.It is simply impossible to believe that so many people could keep such a grand scale deception so quiet.But there are still some who cling to their conspiracy theories.Williams and Dunstan maintain that the Hitler and Braun who shot themselvesin Berlin in 1945 were, in fact,lookalikes.But would those who had known Hitler intimately for years and who were in the bunker that night really have beenfooled by two doubles?In truth, the supposed escape of Hitler should be seen as nothing more than a parlour game.Theres not a serious historian who would give the story any more credence than they would to Elvis Presley being

alive and well and still hip-swinging in Tennessee.Guy Walters is author of Hunting Evil: The Nazi War Criminals Who Escaped And The QuestTo Bring Them To Justice.
