Adolf Hitler faked his own suicide and fled to Argentina where he lived until a ripe old age, according to extraordinary new claims.
Authors of the new book ‘Grey Wolf: The Escape Of Adolf’ believe evidence of the tyrant’s suicide is flawed – and that he actually escaped in 1945 to begin a new life with his wife, Eva Braun.
But the claims have been ridiculed by leading historian Guy Walters who today branded them ‘2,000 per cent rubbish.’

Like I wrote in another forum:

Instinctively it seems to be utter rubbish.

Nowadays, in our "anything goes society" anybody can come up with a ridiculous theory and plenty of fools will believe it. [huh]
(I wrote that answer because a book claims that Van Gogh did not killed himself but was killed by some teenagers!) It applies to all the rubbish is written today.

They'll make a lot of money off this book and film considering all the conspiracy theorists around today. But they won't get a penny from me.shakeshead

I wonder if the authors of the book base their theories on newly discovered and still top-secret Hitler-diaries from the time after WWII... Happened before:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hitler_Diaries


But J.W.!!!

Everybody is capable of coming up with a ridiculous theory that is based on no factual, substantiated evidence whatsoever!

This new theory is absolutely garbage, the actual historical facts about the death of Hitler, have been checked and double checked ad infinitum!

Well, there is a saying in Germany that roughly translates "The mother of stupidity is always pregnant". You'd probably say "There is a sucker born every minute".

There can be no denying that this "new" theory is utter rubbish, but theories of Hitler surviving the war have been heard before. I'm sure a lot of people are going to buy the book, regardless of 70 years of professional and sincere research.

Hey, I happen to know for a fact that Hitler is alive! He is disguised in Los Vegas as an Elvis impersonator, you can see him five nights a week!

What they'd have to do is find those two daughters. THEN we'd have a sensation. But as Hitler supposedly had a little problem between his legs, the chances of any offspring are pretty... unlikely.

What surprises me is that one of the authors is Simon Dunstan who is a creditable military historian though his area of expertise is military hardware. I'm afraid he's completely out of his depth on this one.

He may have been recruited in order to lend credibility to the project.

Considering the drug cocktails his doctor was shooting him up with, one would doubt that even today's Viagra would have enabled Hilter to father any children. The only viable means would be by either cloning (ala "Boys from Brazil") or invitro fertilization.

All things considered, the most vile thing Hitler fathered was WWII that resulted in 40 million deaths. He was worse than the "Black Death".

May be out of more than his depth. His money.....This sensationalized nonsense does not seem to offer a shred of salient evidentiary material. "‘overwhelming evidence’ to suggest that the couple escaped at the end of the Second World War for a new life in a Nazi-controlled enclave in Fascist Argentina." A mere suggestion and a need for a payday.

This also does not make sense. "The book also claims American intelligence officials were complicit in the escape, in return for access to war technology developed by the Nazis." After he lost the Americans needed him to access war technology? This is hilariouslol Not even a bad movie would this make.
