The nonsense you're referencing was just Russian propaganda.

Thank you!

That was enlightening for sure... seems like the dental work was officially confirmed by a 3rd party.

I know the show I watched was ummmmm biased by only showing "conspiracy" information... it never mentioned the dental confirmation afterwards.

Okay I'm 91.7% certain that Hitler died. lol.

Born in 1889, he would have been dead by the 70's even if he did escape.

Remember guy's like that (egomaniacs) don't want to go and hide somewhere, it would literally kill them to be a hermit!

Look at Pablo Escobar, guy was worth 30 BILLION dollars and he couldn't even hide. Hitler was less liquid and had no where near that much money so I'll go with "dead in the bunker in 1945!"

I agree.

I was just intrigued by the notion because I never really paid attention to the details of the evil man. Just know that he "committed suicide" in a bunker with his wife, but not that the Allies never confirmed with a body.

I much rather he did die in a cowardly way by suicide. I would hate to think that he faked his death and lived on even if the life was not as glamorous as he'd like.

I know for a fact that Hitler faked his death, and is living in a commune in Oregon along with Elvis Presley and the real Paul McCartney, not the lookalike imposter who has assumed Paul McCartney's public persona.

I can provide incontrovertible proof of this, just wire $49.99 to my account in the Caymans, and I will send you this exclusive proof that ONLY YOU will ever receive!!!!

I've heard all the rumors over many years. I believe he and his new bride killed themselves like several others did. I believe he felt that there was no other choice..and he would be correct.

There were surviving witnesses (Wehrmacht soldiers) that were tasked with burning the corpses (him and Eva Braun). The Soviet Red Army salvaged some dental remains not long after his death when they took over Berlin that I believe are still under control of the Kremlin.

When I was in the US Army in the 1970s, I was stationed in (West) Berlin for almost a year and visited the site of the former bunker. The bunker is under an existing parking lot next to a 1950s apartment building. There is a historical plaque explaining the whole story. The site is just one block south of the present day Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe.

Ask any other common German soldier never mind high-ranking SS officer who fell into the hands of the Soviets -- suicide was much more preferable. The Soviets in particular were not in a charitable mood when they reached Berlin, understandably so.

Some Hitler apologists tried to say the Soviet claim that Hitler took poison was a lie. They preferred to think that Hitler was the type of guy who would shoot himself. But either way, they did not deny that he killed himself.

Call me naive, but I didn't know that they NEVER found his body.

It was the Nazi's who proclaimed that Hitler has died, but there was no actual witness from the Allies.

They just interviewed some Nazi's and it was all hearsay?

Then there was the claim from Russians 10 yrs later that they had found Hitler's body but didn't tell anybody, but someone tested the skull and found that it was from a woman?

The conspiracy theory is that Hitler left his body double and fled long before the end. It also stated that a lot of high ranking officials did not truly believe that Hitler died and actually kept on looking for him.

So what are the actual facts?
Well...he's likey dead by now. <<cut>>

Pablo wasn't that bad at hiding. He only got caught because he wanted to talk to his kid once a week.
Saddam Hussein also did a decent job disappearing. He didn't do anything he wasn't not supposed to.
Hitler was pretty unbalanced at the time though from all the drugs and other conditions and he never struck me as the pragmatic type.
