Where Could Hitler Have Escaped to?
Like the declarations that “Elvis Presley Is Alive,” the claims that Adolf Hitler didn’t die in Berlin have continued since the announcement of his apparent death. There are many reasons for this beyond just random sightings and suspicious claims.
For example, most of us have heard and dismissed the claims of body doubles and mismatched skull fragments. Also, Hitler’s dead body has never been found. However, an intriguing argument can be made that Hitler may have faked his death and escaped from the ruins of Berlin with the help of his closest Nazi officers.
So, where might he have gone?
10 Patagonia Home Away From Home
The Patagonia region of Argentina was known to the Nazis long before the start of World War II. Its population was made up of German immigrants and their descendants. The belief in Nazism was rife and remained so for years after the war. Even the local schools taught the same beliefs as the schools in Germany under the Third Reich.
It would make sense then that Hitler would choose Patagonia (or have it chosen for him) as a place of refuge. By the mid-1940s, reports show that the area was closed off like a cult compound, with necessities delivered from the outside once a week.[1]
Interestingly, the waters come right up to this region and are deep enough to accommodate submarines on the coast. Also, there are purposely built and strengthened airstrips commissioned by the Nazi regime years before the war’s end.
To some researchers, this is an obvious sign of preparations for an exodus of the Third Reich’s most powerful and trusted ranking officers. If that was the case, then such an exodus would surely include Hitler. We already know that many other Nazi officials found their way to this part of the world.
9 Secret Tunnel Systems
So how did Hitler get out of Berlin in the first place?
According to some researchers, Hitler used the secret tunnel system that ran under Berlin and connected to the bunker. Through various levels and connections, he and a small team emerged, largely “hidden in plain sight,” in one of the train stations. From there, they made their way to a waiting plane.[2]
Supposedly, the station used to exit the tunnel systems is known today as Luftbrucke station. While filming Hunting Hitler for The History Channel, the producers uncovered the remains of the tunnel system using special sonar equipment.
Furthermore, although the dates don’t match exactly with other researchers’ claims, these producers uncovered records of “increased activity” from a nearby runway at Tempelhof Airport on April 21, 1945. The last official sighting of Hitler had occurred one day earlier on April 20, his birthday.
8 Submarine Journeys And Evidence Of Way Stations Canary Islands
Some of the most intriguing clues to a predetermined plan were the vast amounts of fuel and supplies stored at a purposely built way station in the Canary Islands.
It is believed that Hitler flew to Spain shortly after arriving in Denmark, with Franco offering to provide Hitler safe passage from Spain to Gibraltar and then on to the Canary Islands. From there, Hitler and Eva Braun boarded one submarine and other high-ranking Nazi officers boarded one of two others.
In a further twist, the Germans sent a group of submarines toward New York at around the same time and appeared to feed false intelligence that they were planning to launch a V-2 missile from them as one final attack on the United States. It was enough to draw the Allies’ attention to track this group of submarines in the North Atlantic, leaving the three heading to South America virtually unnoticed.[3]
