I've been watching the History Channel's "Hunting Hitler" series, and it's got me wondering if the claims in the show are valid, or if they're TV magic.
Did the US ever seriously pursue these claims? Was there any validity to them? Does credible evidence exist, either that he escaped, or that he died in Berlin?
I'm on mobile, so I can't properly link the posts, but here's a collection of posts on that topic.
The consensus is that Hitler killed himself in Berlin, and no credible historian has lent any weight to any Argentina theories.
He died in Berlin. Hitler's dentist was captured after the war by the Americans. Two of his dental techs were captured by the Russians. Each independently reconstructed the details of Hitler's dental work from memory. Their reconstructions meshed completely, and they fit with the details of the dental work on the jaw fragments attributed to Hitler AND to the skull X-rays taken of him by his doctor after the July 20 bomb attempt. Bottom line, there is solid forensic proof beyond a reasonable doubt that Hitler died in Berlin.
