Declassified CIA documents pertaining to the JFK files reveal that the CIA investigated whether Adolf Hitler had escaped to Colombia after evidence pointed to him residing in the city of Tunja after the allied invasion of 1945. 10 years later, it's reported that Hitler departed for Argentina in 1955 but doesn't specify where in Argentina he was alleged to have ended up.

There's always been a conspiracy theory that many in the high Nazi command escaped to South America. However, this is the first official CIA document that makes an account of this possibility. At least the first document that has been declassified and made available to the public.

A while back there was a series on tv that surmised that Hitler had lived in South America. Apparently many Nazis DID go to South America. And back in school, long ago, our history teacher had us write a report entitled, "Hitler Lived" in which we were supposed to research or use our imaginations and come up with possible answers. So these theories are nothing new and some people take them seriously.

From the tv show, I seem to remember that the bodies were found burned, and his skull was taken by the Russians. Later on, DNA revealed that it was not Hitler's skull after all. (This is subject to my memory as I am not that interested but just wanted to put this information forward.)

Meanwhile headlines read "Chlorine in drinking water causes heart attacks."

Then why was his supposed skull the Russians had turn out to be female?

No-one is saying he's still alive, an official CIA document investigates whether he escaped.

So the 'evidence' is a photograph of someone that a third-party claims to be Hitler and which a notation on the black asserts was taken in 1954. And you confuse this vague, entirely unsubstantiated claim (that the photo is of Hitler and that it was taken post-war) as revealing that Hitler survived the war?

I think the Bat Boy has more evidentiary support than that!

Because there was more than one burned-beyond-recognition in the vicinity of the Reich Chancellery in May 1945? It does not follow that because a set of remains aren't Hitlers, that means he died years later on another continent. Where's Harold Holt's skull? Do you think he fled to South America, too? (oh, wait - I forgot that when Holt faked his death, China was where he secretly took refuge!)

Well, at least now you've modified your claim from the CIA revealing that Hitler was alive in South America in the 1950s to merely investigating the possibility. The CIA, at some minor level, looked into a fantastic claim that, if true, might have profound implications. So what? Investigative functionaries do that all the time. If some sheriff in the Pacific Northwest investigates a forester's claim that he was assaulted by a giant ape-like creature, do you think that reveals the existence of Bigfoot?

Dude - this article is dated September 9th. The recent "Declassified JFK files" happened just last week.

This is just BS tabloid nonsense.

Seems to me to be sort of a moot point either way, since he would now be quite dead anyway. I don't put much stock in any evidence provided by the Russians, but I believe he offed himself and his silly wife in the bunker, or someplace similar. In reality Hitler was a coward, and he took the coward's usual way out. If he truly believed any of the garbage that came out of his mouth for 12 years, he would have welcomed a trial so he could stand up for what he believed.

Even if he did survive, he didn't do anything that had a world impact during his exile years, at least not anything that has ever come to anyone's attention.

I think that he did kill himself in the bunker....but....


Here is the proof...
