A Complete Waste Of Time submitted by GJBarnett2 on February 12, 2014, 10:49am A broken promise. No "new scientific evidence that Hitler escaped Nazi Germany." The only "new" scientific evidence is that a skull fragment with a bullet hole kept in Soviet archives and believed to be Hitler's, was proven through DNA evidence to be from a woman. So this is not scientific evidence that Hitler committed suicide, but it is also not evidence that he didn't. It is just a piece of somebody else's skull with a bullet hole in it. Otherwise just old conspiracy theories: many inconsistent reports of Hitler's death, all of which can't be true (but that doesn't establish that all are false). As for the best-known theory that Hitler and Eva Braun committed suicide in the Fuhrerbunker and that their bodies were cremated using gasoline, says the author, witness statements are inconsistent, Stalin, Eisenhower and J. Edgar Hoover all believed Hitler had escaped, and there is no definitive scientific proof that he died in Berlin. But the absence of evidence that Hitler died in Berlin is not evidence that he didn't. Otherwise, the book is just a re-hash of theories that he fled to Argentina by submarine and had plastic surgery during the voyage. (Come now, really? Delicate plastic surgery aboard a U-Boat!) Billions of dollars were sent to South America by the Nazis, there were large flourishing German communities in Argentina where Hitler could have been sheltered., Two U-boats turned-up in Argentina months after the German surrender and the belief is widespread in Argentina that Hitler made his way there Some Nazi war criminals, notably Eichmann, Mengele and Priebke certainly did flee to South America and some may still be alive but there has never been publically revealed any actual evidence that Hitler was among them. Just speculation. The real truth, or course, is that Hitler was the shooter on the Grassy Knoll who actually shot Kennedy. Everybody knows that.
