Adolph Hitler`s body was never recovered when he was pronounced dead, and that just seems a little too suspicious to not raise an eyebrow and do some further research. Adolph Hitler was the German leader and the head of the Nazi party who was responsible for the death of over six million Jews. He is the cover boy for anti-Semitic's everywhere and is the cause for so much death and pain during the 19th centry. When Hitler died it was a sigh of relief for millions around the world but his death had a lot of red flags surrounding it. His body was never recovered, which is a red flag #1, and there have been several people saying that he had a “clone” or a look alike, that’s red flag #2. there’s a possibility that he escaped to Argentina with fellow Nazi members. Let’s explore whether Hitler died or if he escaped.
The official report concerning Hitler`s death is that he consumed a capsule of cyanide then proceeded to shoot himself in the head, but the Soviets were the ones who recovered Hitler`s remains. The Soviet Army claimed to have a skull fragment belonging to Hitler, but Richard Stockton claims that “After initially claiming that Hitler was dead and that they had the remains to prove it, the Soviets then put out word that they didn’t have the body and then accused the British of smuggling Hitler and Braun out of Germany. After that, they claimed to have a fragment of Hitler’s skull with a conveniently positioned bullet hole in it. Then, decades later, forensic examination revealed that the fragment was that of a woman” (Stockton). There is too much misleading information surrounding his death and the fact that his body was never recovered makes every theory out there more believable.
Another popular theory is that Hitler escaped Germany aided by other Nazi soldiers then a report from Richard Stockton claims that:
a sighting report from an SS veteran named Phillip Citroen, who claimed to have been in regular contact with Hitler in Colombia, and that the former Führer moved to Argentina in January 1955 during a spell of bad health. The CIA report on Citroen’s statements even included a microfilmed photograph that purported to show Citroen sitting with Hitler in South America. In the end, after chasing down hundreds of leads on at least three continents, both the FBI and CIA concluded they couldn’t prove anything without some hard evidence and closed their case. (Stockton)
It clearly shows that there were several rumors circulating, but they just couldn’t find the evidence to back up their suspicions. Hitler was smart and very powerful with money to back him; it is very likely that he could have evaded the investigations of other governments if he really did fake his death and escape Germany.
All the popular conspiracy theories have been debunked by researcher's and pathologist claiming that when Hitler`s body was cremated they found bone fragments and teeth that later revealed in 2017 belonged to Hitler. The teeth were a match from the dental records a year before his death. It took a long time to find out the truth though because the Russians were so stingy with Hitler`s remain. Nobody was given access to even run a couple of tests so that made a lot of people very unsure about what really happened but in an article by Adam Lusher he states that “the Russians were telling the truth: Hitler killed himself, SS soldiers burnt his body, Soviet troops found the charred remains, and the jawbone ended up in Moscow” ( Lusher 1). That put the nail in the coffin when it comes to any crazy or hard to believe theory's concerning Hitler`s death.
If there was any theory that could be believable it would have to be that Hitler escaped Germany and then went to Argintina with other Nazi leaders. A recent survey with college student's revealed that eleven out of twenty people believe that Hitler escaped Germany and went to Argentina. It is not likely though because of all the evidence there is proving that he really did die. The reason there was so many conspiracy theories about his death is because of how much fame and fortune he had. It was hard for people to believe he died without seeing pictures of the body for themselves.
