The official version is that Hitler and his wife committed suicide in the underground bunker before the Russians got there. But there are definitely inconsistencies with the official version. After watching the below what do you think?

Let me guess... in 1963, JFK joined moved into Adolf's cottage in Mendoza, right? With Elvis coming along in 1977?

1) I'm not going to watch 90+ minutes of video on this topic, any more than I would on the topic of the 'magic carburetor' or about the government is reverse-engineering alien spacecraft at Area 51. It's poor to expect someone to watch an hour and a half when all you've contributed is three sentences. If you find the videos so compelling, then summarize them for us.

2) The totality of the evidence is that Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun died at the Fuehrerbunker on April 30, 1945. Physical evidence, jibing eyewitness testimony. Other conclusions require ignoring the bulk of the evidence and clinging to bits here and there and filling in the gaps here and there with unsubstantiated assumptions all just to get at the desired destination, which is a tale more interesting than 'Well, he offed himself'. Those videos appeal to people by entertaining them.

3) Finally, flight would have been completely and totally out of character for Hitler. His whole adult life had been predicated around the concept of do-or-die. As the war turned, his actions were not those of one seeking to mitigate his losses but to go out on his own terms. For decades he had spoken of suicide as a useful and painless final option in theory, and as an imminent possibility if things went south.

Whatever. Everybody knows that Hitler was killed by the original Human Torch.

In defining historical accuracy Occam's Razor is a most useful reasoning tool. He shot himself in the bunker and died. Next topic ?

He's currently co-managing a Cinnebon franchise alongside Saul Goodman in Omaha.

Professor Farnsworth zapped him, if I'm not mistaken.

Yes, and with both Osama bin Laden and Muammar Gaddafi joining them in 2011 and forming a sexy love quintuplet!

I think lots of folks are vulnerable to conspiracy theories.

After all, they're SO much more "interesting" than reality.

No, didn't any of you ever read Charles Beaumont's short story The Howling Man?

A watered-down version of it was turned into an episode of The Twilight Zone, but the original should be read for its brilliance.

It never mentions Hitler, but the reference is clear to the reader.
