Did Hitler survive bunker; live in Argentina 'til '65?

Did Adolph Hitler survive the "final bunker" and live a protected and comfortable life in Argentina 'til '65? A well-respected media source is carrying a story and a couple of videos that raise the question. Feature-length documentary movie to follow in 2014.

Those theories have been floating around for years. Sounds to me like the guy was just looking for something to make a movie out of. The researcher even admits that he isn't 100% certain and that we will never know. I take it with a grain of salt like most other theories. All we know is that the Russians got there first. From there who knows. From everything I've read over the years I highly doubt that he made it to Argentina, let alone lived until 1965.

I subscribe to your theory. Hitler had so many health issues, doubt he would have survived much longer anyway after the war much less until '65 , considering the cocktails of drugs he was being administered by his doctors just to function.

There is always a chance he may have gotten through, but highly unlikely. Still anything WW2 is interesting to me.

" Still anything WW2 is interesting to me."

Me, too. I was born just as the war was ending. My Dad, my father-in-law and all of my uncles served either in Europe or in the Pacific. One of my uncles was an MP officer at the Nürnberg Nazi trials. I've been a sponge all my life, soaking up every detail I can. By any definition, war is HELL!

A great deal is known. Arguably, more is unknown. Some will never be completely known.

That is great to have a tie to the most defining period of history of the last millenium if not recorded mankind, because of the boundaries shaped and numbers of lives affected.

I fought from Normandy into '45 in another life. :roll:

I'm a big fan of Ghost Hunters and one of the spin offs, Ghost Hunters International, investigated an old abandoned hotel in Argentina. It is speculated that Hitler's ghost haunts that hotel because that is where he supposedly fled to after the war.

Exactly. "No" times 1000.
He was surrounded by Russian and Allied forces. If he had survived the Russians would have tortured him in public and Hitler knew that and Stalin would have made certain of that..............
...that is if certain ones of the German people had not gotten to him first. If they did it would have been done "Mr. and Mrs." Mussolini style.
Hell, his own fellow Nazi's tried to assassinate him several times.
