Watched the first three episodes last night, and interested in your opinion. I know something of World War Two, and investigation techniques, and it seems like there are MANY leaps of faith/conclusions drawn from limited knowledge and evidence. Still enjoyable to watch...;-)
 
I enjoy any show discussing any histical event. They haven't really turned up any info that we did not already know. This could change in future episodes.
 
Perhaps you are correct, but, I anyway, was unaware of some details like the structures deep in the Argentinean jungle, and some information released in the FBI files. I will continue to watch, as I enjoy them like you. Read Toland's Hitler biography about 35 years ago, so nice to have some further refreshing...;-)
 
I find the show to be marginally entertaining but I don't take it seriously. I have no doubt that a certain amount of high ranking Nazis escaped to South America at the end of World War II, but not Hitler himself.

Its like the Animal Planet series Finding Bigfoot, or as I like to call it "Not Finding Bigfoot."
 
I find it hard to entertain the idea that many nazis escaped the Fatherland at the war's end and their leader just sat in a bunker and committed suicide. It makes no sense. Psychologically, most dictators will save their own skin no matter what the cost. They feel that they're that superior. Plus the Germans and the War Machine were smarter than people realize. They had Europe wired for their own purposes. They didn't just take over a country, they altered it for their purposes. I find this whole theory plausible, and very very interesting.
 
bunker survivors where interrogated by the KGB, some for years. so on that alone I would call bullshit on him surviving.
 
But if kgb did find out he survived would they really tell the public? Look at how many nazi scientists were adopted by us agencys and put on projects like the cloaking submarine
 
Theyve been hunting these guys wether dead or alive since the end of the war. Nothing new. Dig up some more bones.

After ww2, all of the nazi rocket scientists were cherrypicked by the USA and Russia.

NASA was founded by a bunch of Nazis.
 
Think you nailed it, evilcatfish. Caught up on all episode's now, and that will probably be the show's summation. Evidence of Nazi's escaping through Spain, Canary Islands to Argentina, and it is plausible that Hitler could have been among them. Personal opinion? He never made it out of Berlin. Would be intriguing however, if he did. And hope he died horribly from Argentinian Jungle Rot. And "Finding Bigfoot?" Its a joke among my family and friends. If you hear anything that can't be explained away: "It must be Bigfoot!" I will stay with "Hunting Hitler" a bit longer...;-)
