Adolf Hitler By: Kaitlin Orduna

“This latest wave of conspiracy-mongering was sparked by the revelation in 2009 that DNA tests had shown that a piece of skull in Moscow which is believed to be Adolph Hitler turned out to belong to a woman” (Philpot 1). Adolph Hitler was a cruel man he destroyed families without a second thought. Adolph Hitler was a dictator that would capture and torture Jewish people no matter the sex or age of the person. It is believed that he committed suicide when he was going to be captured on April 30th, 1945. It has been said that he escaped and went into hiding in Argentina and is hiding. It is believed that Francisco Franco helped Hitler go into hiding. Hitler was moving from country to county in different disguises and his help was Francisco Franco. Adolph Hitler escaped and went into hiding. I don’t believe he shot and killed himself.

We know him as Adolf Hitler, but his real name was Adolf Schicklgruber (Adolf Hitler 1889-1994). He is known for his choices that impacted people's lives and destroyed them and made a part of history known as The Holocaust (1). Adolf Hitler is known for his hatred of Jewish people (1). These are the people whom he tortured and ripped from their families to kill for his own pleasure (1). Hitler had his own demons within himself also (1). Hitler wanted to follow his dreams, but they were crushed because his father didn’t approve of that lifestyle (1). After his father passed away, he decided to apply at Vienna’s Academy of Fine Arts to follow his dreams, but the school rejected him (1). The choices and decisions that he made came out of hate and anger and racism (1). When the first World War was happening, Adolf Hitler was a soldier in the war, and they lost the battle (1). He couldn’t overcome the failure (1).

Adolf Hitler is labeled as a leader in history, but he isn’t labeled as a good leader. The BBC writes, "Few names from history inspire such immediate and emphatic revulsion as that of Nazi leader Adolf Hitler, his hands are stained with blood of millions killed in the devastation of the second World War and the horror of The Holocaust” (BBC 1). Adolf Hitler was the leader or the dictator of the horrific event in history called The Holocaust, and that’s what made him a bad leader. Hitler led his soldiers to the invasion of Poland and to get all the Jewish people eliminated. It has been said that Adolf Hitler and his Nazi soldiers had a drug problem, Hitler had a secret addiction to cocaine, and he had his soldiers addicted to methamphetamine. Hitler was the one to lead the Holocaust, and then when the time came, he wanted the easy way out.

Although Hitler was labeled as a leader, he was also an evil, inconsiderate man. Boissoneault points out, “Before the start of World War ll, around 9.5 million Jewish people lived in Europe; by the time the war ended, the Nazis had killed 6 million European Jews in the concentration camps, or pogroms, and in ghettos, in mass executions, in what we refer to today as The Holocaust” (Boissoneault 1). Hitler tore families apart. He took children away from their moms and tortured children and women for his own gratification. He had this planned all along when he decided to declare war on Germany, and he was a respected man his Nazi soldiers followed and did what he said to do. He killed innocent people who just wanted to live their lives. He killed little kids and babies just because he could. Hitler just didn’t torture people he also starved them, and he would burn some of their bodies after they had died. They got piled on top of each other because he didn’t respect them even after they were gone.

        Adolf Hitler was a cruel man who didn’t have a care for anyone but himself.  Boissoneault confirms, “He declared the superiority of a white Arian race, with particular vitriol reserved for the Jews he viewed ‘must necessarily be a bloody process’” (Boissoneault 1). This just proves that he was a racist, cruel man. Just because he didn’t like a race, he wanted them all gone. The Jews couldn't fight back because they didn’t have anyone who would help them. The people who would help them go into hiding would be punished. The Nazi police or soldiers would just barge in and search every house and business for some Jews.

Adolf Hitler came to a crossroad when it came time for him to be captured after all the destruction he had caused. There is a conspiracy that he didn’t kill himself and that he fled to another country. Throughout the years there has been plenty of witnesses that have tried to prove if Adolf Hitler escaped or if he killed himself. After plenty of failed attempts of trying to match either DNA or tracking Hitler down the case was given to the Central Intelligence Agency (“The Year Was...”). “The year was 1955” when Cimelody-3 was tracked down by an old friend who at the time was living in Maracaibo. His name was Phillip Citroen, who was a former German soldier who had proof that Hitler was still alive (1).

Phillip Citroen became friends and met the new Adolf Hitler, “According to Citroen, the Germans residing Tunja follow this alleged Adolf Hitler with an idolatry of the Nazi past, addressing him as Elder Fuhrer and affording him the Nazi Salute and Storm-trooper adulation” (1). There were also pictures that showed a man who looked almost identical to Hitler (1). When it became a priority for the Central Intelligence Agency to follow the leads, it was already too late the Adolf Hitler look alike was gone (1). One of the Central Intelligence Agents had retired from the CIA, but the CIA promised to not give up and to keep looking for this so-called new Hitler (1). His name was Bob Baer, and he had his own team on the lookout for Adolf Hitler (1).

Baer was determined to find new evidence on if Hitler did escape to the South America region or not, “It’s believed that thousands of Nazis fled to South America after World War 11, could Hitler have been among them”? (1). In recent news, Baer did an interview over how he processes cases to make them a success for them to turn into a closed case, “What I like doing is going through the files as they are declassified and finding out what’s missed. Remember, in most criminal cases the full extent of them is never known until years” (1). Baer and his team of investigators have promised that they will put their all into this case to find out the truth and what has really happened (1). Since they are, or once were part of the CIA there is most likely more information than what they have released (1). Just like cases like who killed John F Kennedy (1).

Some of the evidence that was released was they had searched an underground bunker that was a place that Hitler was hiding at one point (1). There is even a show that was produced called Hunting Hitler that claims that Adolf Hitler Escaped in a submarine(1)“But Bob Baer and his team have scoured never-before-seen documents which he says shows ‘the most evil man in history’ in fact survived the allied invasion of Berlin-and beyond”(1). This just proved that Adolf Hitler is a cruel evil man he did horrible things to innocent people for his own pleasure. The amount of evidence that Baer’s team has is a large amount they have almost over seven hundred pages of new information on Hitler (1). It has been hard to prove if Hitler really killed himself, because he shot himself and the forensics, they had to prove DNA wasn’t as advanced as it is now (1).  One of the skulls that were trying to be passed off as Hitler was a female skull, animal remains were even trying to be passed off as Adolf Hitler (1).

There was evidence that there was either a fifth bunker that he could have been hiding in but had no location of where the bunker could be (1). The amount of times they have tried to use someone else remains to pass as Hitler has gotten ridiculous. It’s to the point that you don’t even know what’s true or not. What can you really be believe? Yes, he was a bad guy and leader in history we deserve to know what really happened. Adolf Hitler got the easy way out if he did kill himself or if he escaped either way, he got away with all the things he has done. It’s not fair to all the souls that he has taken. It wasn’t only him though he had his followers they knew it was wrong, but still took part. Adolf Hitler should have taken responsibility for his actions if you do the crime you got to do the time.

Throughout history there are plenty of rumors that go around about people and once their gone it’s hard to find evidence to prove what’s true or not. All the families that have lost their loved ones and that did survive the Holocaust are traumatized. We don’t know what they really went through when they were put in camps. Some that survived didn’t even know that their spouse or daughter was alive or not. They probably knew found out either! They most likely took things to their death bed that nobody knew about they just couldn’t share.

Adolf Hitler shouldn’t be someone that we put in our history books and must learn about. He never had a real explanation other than he didn’t like their race to do what he did to them. Either way if he did escape, he got what he wanted he lived about thirty years to write his wrongs as some say. Either way you can’t change history or the past it is what it is no matter how it should have ended. Who knows if we will ever have any real proof if he did escape or if he killed himself? Everyone is just going off what they hear they don’t have real evidence that he’s alive or not, but by now he would be dead from old age.

If we could go back maybe just maybe it could have ended different with the knowledge of what we have now, then I could of all ended differently. When you think about it is one of the cruelest events in history that took place. Why did it take so long for the Jews to have help and be freed it shouldn’t have taken that long for someone to help them and realize what Adolf Hitler was doing was wrong? They didn’t deserve what happened to them they didn’t ask for it. They were just trying to live their lives just like everyone else and were captured and punished for it. For instance, look at Anne Frank thank god that she documented everything she went through in diary’s or we would have never known half the stuff they went through. If her father didn’t survive to publish her diary then we wouldn’t know half or what we do now. Adolf Hitler should be sorry for what he did and pay.

Adolf Hitler was someone who destroyed lives and traumatized people. The things he did are unforgiveable and uncanny. Jewish people had to watch their loved ones die. They were often tortured at the hands of this evil man for months and sometimes years. There was nothing they could do because they were outnumbered. There are several conspiracies about Hitler. The first conspiracy about Hitler is that he didn’t kill himself. Another conspiracy is that he escaped and fled to South America.  If he did escape, he still got away with murderous crimes and wasn’t punished at all.
