Been watching this History Channel television series these last few weeks. Bit of a marathon session with 3 seasons and 8 episodes in each..all available via google, videos.

The premise is that there is no conclusive evidence that Hitler did in fact die in the bunker and that he got away to South America.

I found it interesting and somewhat addictive albeit the ending is a bit of an anticlimax..

For those who have seen this, your thoughts?

This. I made it 5 minutes into one episode and had enough. Can't stand the History channel.

That being said, South American Nazi history is very strange and fascinating indeed. Quick example, Hitler's head of the Nazi Party Chancellory and private secretary Martin Bormann (supposedly died in 1945) mysteriously cashing a cheque in Argentina over his own signature in 1967. So it's not at all out of the question that something is going on.

Yuh, the Bormann case is interesting..excerpt: http://www.newworldencyclopedia.org/ent ... in_Bormann

Continuing Controversy

Some controversy continued, however. For example, Hugh Thomas' 1995 book Doppelgangers claimed there were forensic inconsistencies suggesting Bormann died later than 1945. According to this work and the very controversial The Nazi Hydra in America: Wall Street and the Rise of the Fourth Reich by Glen Yeadon, there were not only significant forensic inconsistencies with Bormann's having died in 1945, but there were also a very many credible sightings of Bormann in South America well in to the 1960s. The forensic inconsistencies included the following:

1) A certain type of volcanic red clay that was found caked on much of the skull, which suggested that the skull had been dug up and moved since that type of soil doesn't exist in the ground in Berlin, but is instead largely found in Paraguay (which is where several of the Bormann sightings were reported to have occurred).

2) Record of dental work. Although Bormann's dental records dating back to 1945 matched dental work done on that skull, there was also other, more recently performed dental work that didn't show up on the 1945 dental records, but appeared to exist in addition to all of the other dental work that matched exactly the 1945 records.

3) The position and condition of the teeth in the skull indicated that the skull belonged to someone of a more advanced age then Bormann's almost 45 years at the time of his supposed 1945 death.

Since 1998 DNA testing revealed the skull to in fact be Bormann's, the theory that is suggested by the above evidence is that Bormann lived outside of Germany for some time, and that after his death his remains were buried somewhere (presumably near where he had been living). Then, sometime later, as part of a cover-up, his remains were exhumed, altered appropriately (such as the planting of glass shards in the lower jar to mimic the result of having bitten down on a glass cyanide ampule, and then "planted" as evidence, with the intention of them being found in Berlin by "accident," to lend credence to story that Bormann had fallen nearby, in 1945, and that that was where his body was ultimately buried by someone who perhaps didn't recognize him or who did but didn't want it to be found at the time.

People have questioned why Bormann, if he had indeed been buried abroad, would have been exposed directly to the soil as opposed to being in a casket or sarcophagus of some kind. Theorists of this conspiracy suggest that perhaps, during his period of hiding, the plan had existed all along (or was conceived at least at the time of his death) and therefore he was buried locally to allow his body to naturally biodegrade before being exhumed and relocated back to a site in Berlin where it would eventually be found.

Theories as to who perpetrated this crime abound, from the West German government wanting to cover-up his escape to the Mossad wanting to cover-up the fact that they knew his whereabouts but were unable or unwilling to abduct him and bring him to justice as they had with Eichmann to elements of the British government wanting to cover-up the fact that they had helped him escape in order to get access to his vast fortune to the Soviets wanting to cover-up the fact that he had in fact been the deep-cover mole codenamed "Werther."

Yep, subsequent to the History Channel doco, this apparently settles it:

"Adolf Hitler definitely died in 1945," reports Agence-France Presse, which explains that in March and July of 2017, Russia’s FSB, the successor to the Soviet Union's KGB, gave a team of French pathologists access to Hitler’s jawbone and teeth.
