Mystery Quest - Hitler's EscapeAdolf Hitler was one of the most vicious people in modern history. It is assumed he killed himself, but there is no evidence of his death. Near the final days of World War II when the Russians were surrounding Berlin, Hitler and his wife went down to their underground bunker and killed themselves. At least that is what his guards have said. They said they heard the shot and opened the door to find Hitler lying bloody and dead on the couch, and his wife next to him, poisoned to death.

The guards said they then took the body of Hitler outside and burned it then buried it. Apparently, Hitler did not want his lifeless body on display like Mussolini’s corpse had been.

Mystery Quest takes up the challenge of finding clues of Hitler’s death. There has been speculation that he escaped and might have gone to South America. Other people have said they had seen him around other parts of Germany. Whatever the stories, there is no evidence of a dead body belonging to Adolf Hitler.

Hitler used a double, especially after the close attempt on his life in the Valkyrie incident. What the Russians found when they arrived in Berlin, was the dead body of a man looking like Hitler, but in all accounts was his double. This man was apparently two inches shorter than Adolf Hitler.

In the Russian archived they have a couch with blood stains and a piece of a skull with a bullet hole in it. Mystery Quest sent an American archaeologist to Russia to get evidence from these items and bring it back to the United States to see if there was any DNA that could be found in the blood or the burned skull.

There are some things we will never know for sure. And that is okay. It has to be okay or you will fool yourself into needing to know, and if can't know, will make up theories and act like they are true. Much like the so called "news" of today.

Why is it necessary for anyone to pretend they are fairly sure what happened? What is it that requires such nonsense?

I suggest checking the videos "The Greatest Story Never Told" for a more fact based account of Hitler. Some bias yes. Not nearly as much as the outright fallacies presented as historic fact indoctrinated into most of the world.

There are some types I have a very difficult time believing much of anything they say:
attorneys, those in govt, communists, socialists, progressives, those in sales and marketing, the news, bankers, Jewish leadership, Catholic leadership, Islamic leadership. All these "religions" have no problem telling untruths to further their agenda.

I don't know what happened. There is no way for me to know what happened since I wasn't there. If it came out one way or another supposedly conclusively, how could I trust that when so many "conclusive" things or facts have not been so conclusive or factual after all? More productive things to do than to pretend I know what I can't know.

We should concentrate on stopping this things in our future and at present. Sorry but if you can't let go of the past you will not leave happy in the future.

It is insane to keep on rambling about a cruel and horrific times remembering yourself of what happen.

It even at some point actually attracts resentment and hate from other cultures which have leaved similar faits which do not have the need to keep on pushing the subject.

An interesting documentary that only reinforces the idea of how much history is actually fable. (truth is the first casuality of war) The only thing that can be said with certainty regarding Hitler's death, is that today(2013) Hitler is dead. The only thing that matters is that people remember his insanity, in hopes that something similiar isn't supported in the near future. Oh well, I can dream can't I?

If the witnesses were lying about seeing him dead, think about how much money they would make on writing a tell-all or even if would have if they went into the protection of a government and told them! The only people who are saying he is still alive are making money from talking/writing about it..and convincing average, gullible people.

the scull could have been that from Eva Braum(even thought she didn't shot herself), or it could have been the scull of the wife of Mr. goebels. they also commited sucide and let their body burned.

A few things don't fit in there. 1) The jawbone with teeth is still available. Where's the analysis?
2) Hitler parents were buried in Germany as for any human beings, so? They are relatives as much as the ones who are still living to this day? So...?

Bottom line: If these guys have the technology to carry the genetical analysis they did, how come the VISA of one of the Muslim 9/11 author was not screened for traces of DNA since he surely held it in his hand a few times?
I sure know that these computorized lab-pack can go down to sub-micro grams and picto-grams using calibrated additions technic.

That was a good idea for a docu as it triggers other more important questions.
Looks as if the this docu author decided right from the start that no conclusion should come out of his movie.
Exactly the same as the mandate Georgie gave to the 9/11 conmission except that 9/11 only caused some 3,000 deaths and not millions.

If Hitler had escaped, he would have wanted the whole world to know it before he died (assuming he would be pretty old by now). He was a narcissist and had a huge ego I imagine (as is the case with most high profile people) and so he would have made a written record of how he escaped so that all would know how great he was. He wouldn't have wanted to go down as someone who just shot himself in a bunker. So just by that I know that he did not escape.

I hope he did escape ..you know good for him. I mean I'd rather seen Himmler get away, but good for him if he did. Hopefully he got to live on some lavish island somewhere with a lot of cash and got to see all the stuff he said would happen in america and england did happen. And the fact that stalin always thought he did get away<I mean stalin would know better than anyone of us. But that puts a little cheer in my heart to think that a real citizen of the world was sitting around somewhere with some hot chick and a boat load of cash laughing as what he predicted actually came true... I mean look at our media and all the garbage bills and rights that get passed because of you know who. YOU GO ADOLPH....YOU HONESTLY DESERVED IT!!!

Interesting subject to explore but I believe Hitler would not have wanted to be caught and therefore would have killed himself. Germany and the Glory thereof was what he was all about. Loosing that, he had no reason to live. All would have been lost.

I'm fascinated by conspiracy, although I don't put much stock in them...here's why. People have big mouths and at some point they let it slip. Of course the guards testimony must be discarded simply because he was part of the inner circle and was hand picked for the task of guarding Hitler and later his legacy based on his loyalty and aptitude for the task. If Hitler did escape, I strongly believe his ego would have overpowered his senses and he would have wanted to boast about his great escape at some point after the heat had died down(pun intended). Some guard, maid, cook or servant in the employment of the fugitive Hitler would have said something to their family or friends. People are curiosity machines, we just have to know. Someone would have said to themselves, "hey, ya know if Mr. Germaine had a mustache he'd look just like the fuhrer guy I've been reading about in all the papers". Someone would certainly have been stinking drunk at a party and wanted to brag he knew the truth decades after the fact. Someone in the inner circle if they had proof positive would have written a book on their deathbed.A diary would have been produced by now. Very few examples in history of anyone faking their deaths and getting away with it for long, especially someone as infamous as Hitler. Not a single photo, diary entry, humm, very conspicuous by its absence.And I assume the Russians didn't want to bother doing their own comprehensive investigation and aren't capable of DNA extraction. Why can't we just all except that he took the cowards way out?

No disrespect but what ever happened to Hitler, He's dead now anyway so its irrelevant really and as we all know he did loose the battle which he tried with every bone in his body not to, so double or not to me that would make him pretty much a failure anyway!

The doctor that examined the skull with a bullet hole in it estimated that it was from a 26 year old female--it was not Hitler's skull as claimed. A doctor told Hitler that poison simultaneously combined with a bullet to the head would be the quickest way to go (die/suicide). >>> BOTH CONSIDERED/COMBINED: Eva Braum was 33 years old when she died; close to the estimated age of the female skull with the bullet hole in it. Thus, perhaps she took poison, then shot herself--or was shot by Hitler--in the head, to make death as painless as possible. If so, the skull is hers.

If hes still alive hes extremly old and will be dead anyway within years. I find it disturbing to think that a man like him could go on living for what he did. What can he do now, the hitler we will always remember is gone. If he's alive he is a pitiful old man.

Ah, you even bought the lies about a double that we shot in the head and presented as me. Ah, not only that, if Eva Braun's skull was the remains kept by the Russians, don't my cult members said Eva took cyanide and died... why was there a bullet hole in the skull? Aha?
Look who's laughing now!!

Yes, Chloe- ironically, in Palestine, re-formed by Nazi collaborators and cleverly renamed 'Israel' of Christmas carol and Bible fame, Zionism being a movement founded by terrorism (Irgun, etc.). So...'never again' turns into happening right in front of our eyes--not only in Palestine, but obviously in Rwanda and other places...mass genocide and 'ethnic cleansing' is rampant; has just been renamed and sanitized. Very sad, ironic, and tragic. As far as this doc, I agree with most of the comments - the doc was unsuccessful in really proving anything. Too much emphasis is placed on 'the' Holocaust, canonized with a capital H, when so many holocausts have happened throughout history and continue to occur. In essence, yes, it's important to understand what happened to historical figures, but taken in context, this obsession with Hitler and the one holocaust causes us to focus in on 1945, assume all holocausts are history, and distracts us from what's happening today, before our very eyes.

If you use the concept of Ocams Razor then its all very simple. I beleive that Hitler fled on the plane that landed in the middle of Berlin with the pilot woman, the bodies found were those of Eva Browns sister and her new husband that were arrested because they had tried to flee. I believe that Franco in Spain (a fascist) gave refuge to Hitler in Barcelona were he lived for many years. Then being an Anunaki from planet Graco, he drank gold and managed to stay young, changing his personality and image.

He later came back to reestablish the Nazi system now called the New World Order and became president of the United States of America under the name Geroge W. Bush, but since history repeat itself he destroyed the United States and left it in shambles. And that's were the story is at today....

This proves a lot... it proves that the official story is wrong. The eye witnesses said Hitler was shot in the head, and Eva was poisoned and showed no traces of physical damage. If the skull was from Eva (or a woman), the eyewitnesses lied. And if they lied, why did they do it...? And why would Hitler not try to escape his death?

The only thing we should care about is not to let history repeat itself. Genocide should not be allowed to exist. Yes it would disturb a lot of people if Hitler did survive and lived freely to the end of his days but it would be more disturbing to see people repeating the same mistake by allowing genocide in ANY country to happen. Sadly, in some places of the world, it is still occurring.

It really does seem like the Russians just made a mistake, as Elm suggests, and kept Eva Braun's skull instead of Hitler's. I find it odd that the documentary chooses to ignore that possibility. They're just so happy that it's not Hitler's skull, they don't bother explaining why it's a woman's. The blood is probably Hitler's, but they need to do some more thorough searching for other sources of his DNA to compare it against, such as souvenir hair clippings. They probably wouldn't bother, though, since it would add weight to the accepted theory of events.

I find the subject interesting enough to watch these things, but it's always in the back of my mind that even if Hitler somehow fled Berlin, he would be long dead by now regardless. So does it really matter? Whether he shot himself in the reichbunker or choked on an olive pit in Argentina, he escaped from justice one way or the other.

Elm

Very imaginative name you've got there.
I'd just like to clear up a couple of things:

I don't believe "they got absolutely no evidence against it being Hitler's" translates to "it must be Hitler's". What it does translate to is "it is very likely to be Hitler's concerning the circumstances".

I have not stated that it was impossible for Hitler to have survived, merely very unlikely.

People have accepted Hitler's death as fact so despite it not being necessarily true (as you have stated) people will continue to accept it as long as no evidence is found to the contrary.
It is a very logical assumption so only solid evidence is enough to change people's minds, which the documentary has failed to provide.
This was the point I was trying to make in my previous comment.

You might want to check this sentence "You can’t prove something false because someone has failed to prove it false" because it makes no sense. Maybe you meant "true" instead of "false"?

Regards,
Elm

First, Elm, you are using a terrible fallacy. "...they got absolutely no evidence against it being Hitler’s." Trying to prove something true because their is nothing saying that it is false.
Something is only true if proven to be.
Something is only false if proven to be.
You can't prove something false because someone has failed to prove it false, or true because there's nothing saying it's false.

This doesn't prove anything. The skull could've been Eva Brown's (a female between 20 and 40, thus perfectly matching the description given). Eva and Hitler would most likely have been buried together so the Russians might've taken the wrong skull as evidence. Furthermore, the blood on the sofa was male and they got absolutely no evidence against it being Hitler's.
I also don't think Hitler would've wanted to escape - now that his dream was essentially destroyed, what else did he have to live for?

This documentary, like many others, fails to answer the question it set itself.
