Did Adolf Hitler Fake His Death?

What happened to Adolph Hitler in 1945? There are a few conspiracy theories on Hitler’s death. The one that is believed to be true is that Hitler shot himself in a bunker, specifically the Führerbunker, in Berlin, Germany, on April 30, 1945. But is that really what happened?

 

The big conspiracy was if Hitler faked his death and fled to Argentina, or some country other than Germany. Within the first few months of the end of World War 2, multiple people claimed to see Hitler in disguise all around the world. It is claimed that he was seen in Ireland dressed as a woman. In Egypt, somebody claimed they saw Hitler converted to Islam. He has been claimed to be seen at a coffee house in Amsterdam. Even Americans have claimed to have seen Hitler on trains throughout the United States. The most popular one was him going to Argentina like many other Nazis did after the war, where there have been countless claimed sightings of him.

 

The theory was that after his “death”, he was flown out to a German airbase in Denmark. After he arrived there he took a U-boat over the Atlantic Ocean to Argentina. Once he arrived, he snuck to his ranch hideout by horseback. But in 2017, an old man from Argentina claimed to be Hitler, before he died of natural causes.

 

I don’t want to say if I think Hitler faked his death or not because I see them both as very realistic possibilities. The 1 thing I am a little skeptical about is what they did for Adolf’s body for the faked death. Many Nazi’s escaped to Argentina so I don’t see Why Hitler wouldn’t be one of them.

 

Do you think Hitler’s death was faked? Why or why not?

 

If he did fake his death, what country do you think he fled to?

 

If you thought you saw Hitler in public, what would you do?

  • Good topic choice and well done overall! I do think you could have expaned a bit more on the conspircy in your summary but again, good job overall

  • I do not think that Hitler faked his own death, I don't think he could stay hidden and stayed quiet for so long. If he did fake his own death I bet he went to Argentina or another country. I think it is possible that he faked his own death and had other Nazis help him, but there is not enough evidence to prove it.

  • I think if he did fake his death he would've gone to Argentena. I've heard of this theory before and found that during WWII it was common to fake ones death by hiring another person who looked similar, or who could be made to look similar, to commit suicide in return for giving money to their families, offering them safety, or helping them immigrate to somewhere safer. I honestly believe that the possibility of Hitler faking his death are possible. 

    • I also heard that maybe they killed one of Hitler's doubles in the bunker. This would have to be almost essential if Hitler really did fake his death or else there would be no evidence that he actually died. The part about that is, wouldn't the double's t family notice if he was missing?

  • I believe Adolf Hitler could have faked his death but it's very unlikely. I believe a man who had such power and had to fight his way to obtain it wouldn't have ended it all without an attempt of escape. If Hitler had lived and escaped he would have most likely fled to Argentina along with other remaining Nazi officers. If I saw Hitler in public which is extremely unlikely since he would be around 132 years old, I would probably call the police then tackle him to the ground. 

    • By that question I meant more like if it was more in his era, but I think I would do the same by contacting the police and letting the take care of him.  I don't think the train spotting were true though because it would probably be very hard to hide in the United States.

  • I dont think he faked his death just because of how stupid it would be if he eventually got caught. If he did fake his death theres nobody that really liked him besides his own kind so for him to go somewhere he'd get caught easily. If I seen him walking around in public I'd call the cops. It's always a possibilty that he is alive tho but I don't think he is.

  • I don't think he faked his death because it is hard for him to do. It is weird that he killed his self because he had a lot of power and everything he did was for him. I don't know what country he would've gone to or how he would be able to lay low. 

    • I agree that it is very weird that he killed himself with all of the power he had, which is one of the reasons that make it had to believe he would do such a thing. Hitler didn't seem like the type of person to just give up like that which makes it seem very possible he faked the it.

  • I do not think he faked his death because the evidence against him isn't very strong and it seems very unlikely he would be in public places. If he faked his death, I think he would've gone to Argentina with other Nazi soldiers.
