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).
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.
