History Channel has a special on right now discussing this, speculating that he might not have killed himself 30 Apr 45 and escaped. Thoughts?

No identifiable body generates speculation, it's quite normal.
However, that Hitler made many enemies would be the understatement of that century.
So unless he finished his existence in a fox hole, Hitler surviving 1945 doesn't seem plausable to me.

He lives on, just as Elvis does.

I tend to believe the NKVD, which dug up the whole scene and matched the dental records up with the dentist and assistant who did Adolf's and Eva's teeth, and who verified it was their own handiwork. They even prepared a report on the dogs they dug up. To me, the 'Hitler Escaped' notion is one step less deluded than the 'The Real Hess Died in British Captivity' concept.

In some people's minds and thoughts, no doubt about it, checking out.

And so a Nation that has fought over a piece of land for thousands of years villifies another ruler who sought....

Just as a man who makes music and defiles every aspect of his being and brings carnage along the way.

A greater understanding of history is needed to speak to these issues.

Thank you and good night.

Go sell another plot of land why don't ya....maybe I'd chose to live there if the price is right.
