It's on Tuesday night, actually they make some compelling arguments but I still don't think he flew out of the Bunker on the 29th. They say, pilot name Baumgart flew him to Denmark, to Spain then to Argentina.
I just can't believe it especially leaving Bormann behind. If this is true, biggest con of all time.
Check out the series,
I am wrong it's on History channel, I get these mixed up
Hunting Hitler on AHC

RE: Hunting Hitler on AHC
I've been waiting to see how they connect from Denmark to Spain. This doesn't seem possible by air, due to Allied Air Supremacy. But in past shows they have realized some stupid things and then moved on. For example, at first they said he flew from Berlin directly to Spain, which is pretty preposterous. However, they also grasp at desperate made for tv drama. 'Look, a bullet in the dirt in Argentina ... this means that there were highly trained elite soldiers here guarding a high value target!'. Really ? But I like watching the show as much as I like watching the Oak Island one. Those poor guys spending millions digging holes based on fables.
Maybe he took a sub from Denmark to Norway, but from Norway to Argentina is a long trip for such a person.

I am so disappointed in "The History Chanel" lately when they put out absolutely "hog wash" "conspiracy"shows like this. But I guess to each their own! This and the Alien Astronauts Theorist show is a complete waste of time for me. The History Chanel had some great shows like "Barbarians" "Battle Tanks" "Museum Secrets" etc... Now all we got besides repeats is this kind of crap with "Ice Road Truckers" "Ice Pilots" and a bunch of others that have absolutely no historical meaning at all. Just watch it less and less now when once it was all I watched.
At least here in Canada The French version of "The History Channel" is much better.

I'd rather see: a "Historical Game Channel" broadcast (of which none exist) of game AARs (or whatever) of all types on cable, broadband, ect..

On Youtube there are several - both for PC and tabletop wargames.
This guy is doing an AAR of his WitP: AE game, one game-day x video. A total nut, but his way of narrating is compelling! [:D]

Actually there was one on TV, it was a British TV show called "The Time Commanders" Not sure how long ago but I do remember watching it. They would recreate historical battles and people would play according to what history had recorded for those battles.

RE: Hunting Hitler on AHC
Yes I can see what you are talking about[;)], viewed the site for several minutes. Again it's localized viewing like so many other AARs, sorry to say: My pc is not hooked up to my TV, it would be a PITA to accomplish, mind you my above quote was just a kick around idea to be in a leisure chair checking out stuff with a clicker without being glued to a computer monitor/screen. If the New England Patriots game was at halftime or had the news on, I'd be nice to jump back and forth between any channel (ie. Patriots, news, Game channel) of interest.ORIGINAL: RFalvo69

RE: Hunting Hitler on AHC
That's very much what I had in mind, as well as a number of other aired variations. My thought is: The gaming industry is in the billions of dollars, so why not have a gaming industry sponsored public gaming channel that may have later and newer games ex-po-se'd (x-po-za'd), perhaps with game advertisements that could possibly grow the pc, ect. experience. There has to be millions of people who are interested in the computer gaming experience... As well as learning about history...ORIGINAL: radic202

RE: Hunting Hitler on AHC
Someone was on TV the other day talking about a series he is doing on Train Routes. He said whilst in Argentina a man who used to work on this particular railway was telling him of all the famous people that had travelled on it and mentioned Hitler. So the man doing the doc said Hitler? He said yes a submarine brought him in, he had shaved of his moustache and hair and obviously in disguise, apparently he lived around there until the early seventies when he died. It's the fact that the man is normal rail worker and mentioned his name among others as he wasn't it seems going to expand on it makes it sound as if he at least fully believed this man was Hitler at the time.
as only on TV the other day..thinking about it not sure if it was Argentina of Chile..but one of those countries. When you think about all the high rankers that got to South America it's not out of the realms of possibility and his suicide was one final NAZI deception. Though I also wonder why anyone from the NAZI party at the time even bother with him at that point. He was finished and would live in obscurity for the rest of his life. Would they protect him once the War ended the way it did?

RE: Hunting Hitler on AHC
Well, they said that he landed at one of the LW's Night Fighter bases in Denmark, so maybe he did fly from there to Spain, with those fighters as escort. Seems like a huge risk with such a person.Actually I have a memoir where the German officer made it by air to Spain..though granted shot down as he went over the border..
It might not be totally unfeasible that the suicide was staged then a few close 'friends' with rank and pull organized the 'escape'. Even as improbable as its success would be, at least they tried.Would they protect him once the War ended the way it did?

I am not sure I am correct on leaving by plane, but Spain did hold Skorzeny later on and of course Leon DeGrelle lived there. Yeah, funny they find a few bullets. I would like to check that area with my metal detector to see if any third Reich coins are around.

RE: Hunting Hitler on AHC
Damn, that picture of the guy in the subway made me laugh, great-thanks
Plus, a channel would be great for war games, plus I could watch the entire show while the Jets are on

Hi,
Oh man, can't believe I am still watching this series. I am not sure of what to make of it.

RE: Hunting Hitler on AHC
Hitler was terrified he'd be taken alive and paraded in a cage through Moscow or something. He made sure that wasn't going to happen. Numerous witnesses attested to his suicide and his and Eva's bodied were burned.
From...(and note: references)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adolf_Hitler
Records in the Soviet archives obtained after the fall of the Soviet Union state that the remains of Hitler, Braun, Joseph and Magda Goebbels, the six Goebbels children, General Hans Krebs, and Hitler's dogs were repeatedly buried and exhumed.[309] On 4 April 1970, a Soviet KGB team used detailed burial charts to exhume five wooden boxes at the SMERSH facility in Magdeburg. The remains from the boxes were burned, crushed, and scattered into the Biederitz river, a tributary of the Elbe.[310] According to Kershaw, the corpses of Braun and Hitler were fully burned when the Red Army found them, and only a lower jaw with dental work could be identified as Hitler's remains.[311]
These days the "History" Channel is garbage with heaps of sensationalist bollocks like this. It makes for a good story but the Soviets were determined to finally get rid of his remains and they did.

I didn't say there was one, but that's no reason to watch nonsense. I'm sure it's not all terrible. I don't watch pay tv anymore but before I stopped the History Channel had gone to the dogs with ancient astronauts and Nazi UFOs in Antarctica etc.ORIGINAL: wings7
