The Death of Evil by Yamilet Navarro



            Did it all end with a shot? Or is it just a cover story of the truth to what happened to the dictator of Germany? Adolf Hitler was a military leader then a chancellor and mainly believed one race was supreme to all. During his dictatorship, he led up to eleven million people’s death during World War II and about six million Jews. (“Adolf Hitler Biography Military Leader, Dictator (1889-1945)”1).


Since then, several conspiracy theories developed:
1.       Is Hitler still alive?
2.      Did he run away?
3.      Did he commit suicide?
Let’s take a look at Adolf Hitler and the conspiracies theories about the possibility of him committing suicide.
Character Analysis
            Adolf Hitler can be seen and described in many ways. One trait that describes Hitler was detestable. He was detestable because, he believed one race was supreme to all and blamed the Jews for the faults that Germany had and the terrible events that were happening in the world. This quote is evidence of Hitler's hate toward the Jews and nearly killing about six million during the Holocaust:
As early as August 1920, Hitler compared the Jews to germs. He stated that diseases cannot be controlled unless you destroy their causes. The influence of the Jews would never disappear without removing its cause, the Jew, from our midst, he said. These radical ideas paved the way for the mass murder of the Jews in the 1940s (“Hitler’s antisemitism. Why did he hate the Jews?”1).

Hitler’s hatred was forever uncleared although, he did seek and hunt the Jews down. Leading a major force known as the Nazis, he nearly abolished an entire religion. The quote clarifies the intentions that Hitler had. Hitler blames the Jews for all negative influence in the world, an influence that can only be stopped by being removed from its existence. Not only was he cold hearted for killing Jews, but he also seeked out more and more power. Even those who looked up to him were treated with arrogance. According to Binion in his article he states:
Hitler's two political purposes-killing Jews and conquering lebensraum-as they developed in theory and then in practice. But he treats them as Hitler's personal purposes that his followers either did not grasp or did not take seriously. This is superficial, for how can Hitler's monotonous insistent aims have been irrelevant to Germany's according him absolute power to pursue them (Binion 526).
 Meaning that Hitler first came to these unorthodox ideas in which he was soon to practice. He cares not of what others thought of him or even what ideas they must of had because, Hitler always felt to be above everyone else. His biggest arrogance and cruelty came from seeing himself as a supreme God.
            Seeming like a God and scared like a kid, Hitler never stopped feeling paranoid. Another trait Hitler had was to be crazy, this is due to many factors that happened. One factor was of paranoia from being killed or poison by his enemies. Scared for his life he began seeking was that the enemy could hurt him. Towards the end of his life, he would have the water in the toilet as well as the water used to cook for him to be inspected for any kind of trace of poison. In the article written by Dr. Stephen Diamond, “Hitler's neuroses persisted and probably worsened, taking the form at times of intense episodes of "emotional collapse" characterized by violent bouts of furious screaming and crying “(Diamond). Another factor was the one told in the quote of emotional collapse, where Hitler’s madness leads to him screaming as well as crying. There is even scenarios where Hitler had been scratching the surface of his skin until digging deep enough to cause himself to bleed.
            Many could question what cause a man too seek out a whole race and to his utmost to destroy it? Many have theorized that in Hitler's childhood is where it all began. He was a leader not for good but a good one indeed, led millions into unreasonable ideals due to his lack of morality causing him to be detestable and over time he grew crazy until his last breath.

Conspiracy Theories
            The world revolving around Adolf Hitler had just turned to his will power. He could have done things differently but since he seeked genocide on Jewish people, many did not see through his eyes. Hitler led people, the people followed him either because his goals were just or they simply didn’t have a choice. Hitler was also one who many feared in which brings about many ideas in today's day. Theories are built over him since he has affected the history of our planet forever. Conspiracy are built with different ways of seen what truly happened towards the end of the World War II. Leaving scared million and causing death by many around 40 million civilians and 20 million soldiers, Hitler ideas were powerful indeed. Unorthodox methods were developed and many countries like USA and Soviet Union benefited from the war however no one can forget what happened. This made about many ideas of Hitler, whether he is still being alive, or other like did Hitler ran away and did he really commit suicide?
The first conspiracy theory is whether or not Hitler is still alive? Since back in time there were many rumors, one of them was that Hitler had indeed survived the war where he escaped on a German U-boat. In an article by Adam Lusher he states, “ A statement issued by the Sea War Museum said: ‘The day before [U-3523 was sunk] German forces in Denmark, Northwest Germany and the Netherlands had surrendered, and the U-boat was not on a war patrol, but probably on the run’(Lusher 1). This boat U-3523 was the boat rumor in which Hitler and his wife had a boarded and was their ticket out and fleeing towards Argentina. Where he lived in Argentina’s coast near a small port of Necochea. Where he never gains power but did continue to grow with family with his wife. A woman by the name Eva Braun, also giving birth to two girls and Hitler lived there the rest of his life. After being there for 17 years in hiding, the most evil man died on February 13, 1962.
The second conspiracy is whether Hitler ran away and where to? Many other documents show his existence in later years for instance United States release files about the John F. Kennedy assassination in which includes picture of Hitler. A CIA informant which code name was Cimelody-3, he had a trusted contact in which would inform him of Hitler still being alive and was among other Nazi believers in Colombia. There Hitler went by “der Führer”. In the declassified memo, the photo is attached, showing two people, one seated next to a companion of Cimelody another a mysterious person. In the article made by Mills he states:                 
In the declassified memo, the photo is attached, showing an “Adolf Schrittelmayor” The person on the left is alleged to be CITROEN and the person on the right is undoubtedly the person which CITROEN claims is HITLER.The back side of the photograph contained the following data: ‘Adolf Schrittelmayor, Tunga, Colombia,1954 (Mills).
Here, he is giving descriptions of a photograph that was taken in Colombia back in 1954 in Tunga. That is 9 years after his supposed suicide death in his bunker in 1945. This photograph is one from the classified documents that were from John F. Kennedy’s assassination which is evidence that Hitler indeed survive or this person looks quite identical to Hitler.
Even though, the second conspiracy can seem to be a convincing argument. The third conspiracy theory proves the second to be false where the 3rd conspiracy questions did Hitler commit suicide? During WWII, Hitler was warned that the Russians were on their way to take the chancellery. On April 30, 1945, Adolf Hitler and his wife Eva Braun were found dead in Hitler’s bunker. It is believed that he and his wife swallowed cyanide capsules, it had been tested on their dog Blondi, whom was also found dead by their side. Hitler was also found with a bullet hole on his temple. There was little evidence that proves his death since the body of Hitler was cremated. This quote is evidence of what was left behind to uncover the truth of Hitler’s end:
 It's well-documented that the Nazi leader had notoriously bad teeth and gum disease (which led to some extremely bad breath in the last years of his life); by the end, he had only a few of his original chompers left, which left him with a complicated set of bridges and dentures. That, according to the forensic team, made ID’ing his jawbone relatively simple. The teeth appear to match X-rays taken of Hitler in 1944 and descriptions provided to the Soviets by Hitler’s dentist and his dental assistant (Daley1).
            Hitler was known to be vegetarian and with the X-ray testing proves no remains of meat on the teeth. The only question left was if that skull was his? Many tests on the teeth keep this story true that he died in 1945. The teeth contained a bluish stain. This stain can indicate that the victim did take cyanide to end their life.
Many to this day still believe that Hitler committed suicide. In fact, 90% of those polled on College of the Mainland’s campus believe Adolf Hitler committed suicide.
 What developed these theories of him going to Argentina or Colombia was many studies that disproved his death or the evidence of his death. A research conducted by the University of Connecticut disproves the skull fragments to belong to Hitler. The study determined them to be from a woman to be younger than 40 at the time of death. Making it impossible to be Hitler’s since he was going to be 56 in 1945 and was a male. When disproving the little evidence of what was believed to be the truth brings to the table many conspiracies and ideas. Also, one may never learn the truth of what really happened to the German dictator.
Conclusion
         Adolf Hitler was one the most influential people who corrupted many minds. Overpowering many weak people and using them. With his speeches and way of leadership he recruited an army that would consist of over 13 million soldiers. Over the years, three conspiracy theories about Hitler remain: Did he run away? Is he still alive? Or did Hitler commit suicide? Although, many conspiracies can seem very promising and quite detailed, they are all dismissed with the hard evidence to prove Hitler did indeed suicide. For now, this is what evidence we the people have. However, who knows what evidence can be revealed in the future over classified documents and maybe until further exposure is available for now Hitler died in his bunker in 1945.
