Hunting Hitler (2015–…): Season 2, Episode 2 - The Compound - full transcript

Bob and John's dual investigation continues in Europe and Argentina. While investigating makeshift runways as an escape from Berlin by air, the team finds reason to believe Hitler would have had a stopping point on the way to Spain. Following files that place Hitler in Denmark after the war, Lenny and James Holland head to Denmark, where they investigate an airstrip and a massive bunker system

In the context of looking
for Hitler's escape route,

we are now getting into
specifics for the first time.

A certain ex-Luftwaffe pilot,
Captain Baumgart,

swore under oath
that he flew Hitler

from Berlin on 29 April 1945.

- Maybe there really is
a plan B,

a plan C, and a plan D
that we don't know about.

- You have here
the Fuehrerbunker.

Just 20 to 25 meters away,

I found an exit

very close to the bunker.



- Now Hitler's got
another way out.

- A plane which was piloted
by Hanna Reitsch

flew out of Berlin
from the Brandenburg Gate.

- It looks like it was a runway.

It was a makeshift runway.

- Hanna Reitsch, she's able
to fly a plane

in and out of here
on April 28th.

Allegedly, on April 29th,

Baumgart flies Hitler
out of here.

But what about these lampposts?

How you gonna get wings
of an airplane down here?

- We generate a 360-degree
spherical image.

- You can see everything.

- Look what they've got here.



- You're actually talking about

a defensible militarized zone.

- Misiones, Argentina.

- That is huge.

- Why is this
in the middle of the jungle?

- The person that is using this

is protected by the people
that are using that.

HUNTING HITLER - SEASON 2
EP - 2 - The Compound

- I just think Misiones,

it's just, like, bizarre.

I mean, who was living up there?

And for what reason?

And what were they protecting?

Bob Baer

and war crimes investigator
Dr. John Cencich

are overseeing
a dual-pronged investigation

while the European team
investigates

a reported escape by Hitler
from Berlin

the day before
he was believed dead.

Bob and John focus in
on the South American leg

of their investigation.

In the jungles
of Misiones, Argentina,

they have uncovered
four mysterious structures

in the same area

that a declassified
Argentinian document

reports the presence
of a Nazi militarized outpost.

- We have found there a compound

that could have protected
somebody of Hitler's stature.

I've never seen
anything like this.

You've got the buildings,

all these Nazi artifacts.

You've got a barracks.

You've got military bullets.

And then you've got china.

I mean, who takes china
into the middle of the jungle?

For what reason?

I want somebody to explain to me
what this compound was

and why those people
inside the compound

had to set up a military base.

For whom?

- If we can find more evidence
of structures

or the ability to defend
this high-value target,

that means that this is
some sort

of Nazi military compound.

- I agree.

If, in fact, it was a compound,

there's stuff to be dug up.

- We keep finding stuff,
but we're not finding answers.

We're just finding
more questions.

U.S. Army
Special Forces Tim Kennedy,

along with archaeologists
Daniel Schávelzon

and Alasdair Brooks,
investigate the dense jungle

surrounding
building number four,

which appears to have been
a military barracks

less than a mile
from the other three

residential structures.

- When you're trying to paint
a comprehensive picture

of what a military compound
would look like in a jungle,

you're looking for
observation posts,

structures, defensive positions.

This is way more
than a hideout in the jungle.

But if this is
a military outpost,

I have to see a lot more.

Daniel, Tim!

- Hey. What'd you find?

- If we come up here, we've got
these few loose rocks.

If we follow it through,
this isn't a natural formation.

- Yeah, you're right.

- That's kind of weird.

- It's very clear
it's a manmade feature.

It's a wall in a straight line.

- Wow.

- The construction technique
for these walls

is fairly basic.

It's just rocks laying
on top of each other.

But you can see those levels
building up.

They are clearly artificial.

A certain level
of planning and intent

seems to have gone into
this stone wall.

It looks like it's making use

of natural features
in the landscape.

And it seems to be going up

to another natural feature
up there.

Whether it goes
any further than that

is an open question right now.

- All right, I'm gonna go right.

We'll make this
our center point for right now

and our working area.

- Yes.

- To build something
like this wall

in the middle of the jungle,

where there's no one for miles,

that was by design,
and that was for a reason.

Has to serve a purpose.

I want to find out the purpose.

Yeah, we got something
over here for sure.

Another one.

This is a second wall.

Powerfully constructed,

strategically located.

Got another wall down there?

Oh, man.

Oh, this is absolutely
connected.

Another wall for sure.

Damn.

This is legit.

Hey, guys!

- Have something?

- Yeah, there's a full
rock face right here.

- Looks like you have
a couple of lines of stone here,

and that's definitely
artificial again.

What we're seeing here

is a much more impressive
sequence

than the wall we started with.

This is much higher

and then has
flat, terraced levels

rising down from where
the two of you are standing.

The team has discovered

a terrace-like structure,

two tiers of paved ground

reinforced
by manmade stone walls

built into the hillside.

- Do you have any idea
what the terraces are for?

- So the flat ground...

You can't have troops
running back and forth,

tripping
and breaking their necks.

You can't set up machine guns.

You can't fight
off of uneven ground.

You want every single advantage.

You want them to have
the disadvantage

of coming up a hill.

You want to be
at the top of the hill.

If you're coming up
and you get to this,

this is gonna slow you down
for a second.

That is long enough
for you to die.

This is them setting themselves
up for success.

This terrace is in a very
well-made fighting position.

It's made by somebody
that knows what they're doing,

somebody that has built
battle positions before,

and it screams military.

What is that thing?

You see that?

Gentlemen.

- Yes.
- Yeah.

- I got something.

Come up here. Check this out.

Yes.

Oh!

Holy.

What is this?

Even though
there's not much left,

you can see where the door
and the posts went

from the framework.

- Yes.

Still have a little bit

of the entrance threshold here
as well.

- This is a standalone building

that serves
a functional purpose.

- We just don't know
what that is yet.

- It's one room, you know,
with two doors

and a window.

- We know
what this building's not.

This building is not

for somebody to live.

- No restroom,
no kitchen, no nothing.

- What the hell is this thing?

Guard shack?

That's what it feels like.

Where it's situated,
you have obvious layers

of protective
defensive structures

through the jungle.

These segments of the wall
that we can find

probably formed
an entire perimeter

around the original structures...

Buildings one, two, and three...
At the center.

This feels like another layer
of defense.

This is the exact spot

I would have put a guard shack.

This very well could be
where you're gonna be

launching patrols from,

do all the things
that you would have to do

to create another layer
of protection

for who was behind it.

- This is amazing technology,
you know?

There's the Brandenburg Gate.

While the South American team

continues to investigate

the potential Nazi military
compound in Argentina,

Bob and John review
the 3D laser scans from Berlin

to determine if the avenue

extending from
the Brandenburg Gate

could be the location
where a declassified MI6 file

reports Luftwaffe pilot
Peter Baumgart

flew Hitler from Berlin

the day before
he was believed dead.

6,033 feet.

That's a lot of feet
for a short takeoff/landing.

- Just a little over a mile.

- Yeah, I mean,
it's more than you need.

Let's look at the width.
93 feet.

- Except let's not forget
that the lampposts

had been removed.

That gives us 144 feet.

- 144 feet, which
you could land a C-130.

- Almost any plane.

A DC-3 could have got
out of there

on this particular
makeshift runway.

So, really, there isn't
any question in my mind

that Baumgart could have
gotten out of Berlin.

I mean, it's long enough.
It's wide enough.

It works.

- There's no other explanation
other than

they were turning this
into a makeshift runway.

Hanna Reitsch used it
on the 28th,

makes it out successfully...
A test run, if you like.

The 29th, Baumgart says
he flew Hitler out,

and Hitler supposedly dies
on the 30th.

The detail is all
coming together

to paint a picture
of Hitler's possible escape

like we've never seen before,
ever.

- All of this fits together.

But I think we really have
an issue.

According to this MI6 file,

Baumgart flew a Messerschmitt,
an Me-108.

It had a range of about
600 or 700 miles.

They're not
long-distance planes.

These types of aircraft being
used at this makeshift runway,

no way could they have
made it to Spain.

It's 2,000 miles away.

Earlier in the investigation,

we determined that one of
the very likely routes

out of Berlin
would have been to Spain.

We have an FBI document,
and it states here,

"Hitler refused to involve
Spain in the war,

"because he has a promise
of sanctuary there

when Germany is defeated."

- There's one man that Hitler
could go to for salvation:

to leader of Spain,
the dictator Franco.

- If Hitler's fleeing Berlin,
it's certainly possible

that he would have gone
to Spain.

But it's most likely that he had
an intermediate stop

on one of the smaller aircraft.

- And where would you go
this late in the game?

- Well, let's dig
into this database

and see exactly what we have
on Baumgart

and where he could have
actually gone.

There we go.

The reporting agency is MI6.

This is a report
from 18 December 1947.

"Baumgart arrived at Berlin
on 28 March 1945.

"In April, he was ordered
to convey to Denmark

"a very high official,
and there was reason to believe

that the person in question
must have been Hitler himself."

- The plot thickens.

- Denmark makes a lot of sense.

It's not like the Allies are
landing on the beaches there.

They're coming through France,

and the Russians are coming
across Germany.

So there's no battle going on
in Denmark at the time.

Until May 5th, Denmark was still
a Nazi stronghold.

I mean, you could land
an airplane there.

- From Berlin
to the heart of Denmark

is just a hair short
of 300 miles.

- That is a short flight

with a fast military airplane.

- We need to get the team
into Denmark.

We know Nazi infrastructure's
obviously in Germany

and in other countries,

but we really need to be able
to zero in on Denmark

to see what type of Nazi
infrastructures were there.

It's still something
that needs to be answered.

- Yeah, let's get to Denmark,

see if it was a stopping point.

I'll bet we find something.

- If you're on the run,

you need a network, don't you?

- You absolutely need a network,

and a guy like Hitler,
of course, at that point,

he's the most wanted man
in the world,

so he's only gonna trust
a very few people.

Lenny DePaul,

former U.S. Marshal commander,

is joined by James Holland,
world-renowned historian

and expert on Nazis
during World War II.

- An investigation like this,

you simply can't look at it

from a 21st-century perspective.

I've been studying this
for many years,

trying to get into the head
of Adolf Hitler

and to the Nazi elite.

You need
that historical context.

To determine the extent

of the Nazi presence in Denmark

that could have been
at Hitler's disposal

at the end of the war,
the team is heading

to a little-known
German military installation

along the Danish coast.

- If this was Adolf Hitler's
exact plan of escape,

to head north to Denmark,
he would have set the table.

He would have had
the right infrastructure,

the right people in place.

So I'm gonna shake
a lot of trees

and see what falls out of them
around here.

Well, here we are.

- Oh, that's him.

Hello? - Christian?

- Christian.
- Right, right.

- Nice to meet you.
- Yeah, and you.

Good to see you.
- Nice to meet you.

Christian Ringskof,
the head curator of the site,

is granting the team
unprecedented access

to a series of bunkers
used by the Nazis

during their occupation
of Denmark.

- God, Lenny, look at that.

- Phew. Wow.

- It's incredible, isn't it?

- When was this place built,
Christian?

At the end of World War II,

these bunkers were buried
out of sight

under 33 feet of sand.

But in 2008, a massive storm
unearthed them,

allowing access
for the first time since 1945.

- So, suddenly,
you can get in here.

- They dropped everything
and went home.

- Yeah.
- Can we take a look?

- Have a look at the width
of these walls, Lenny.

- Jeez Louise.

Solid concrete.

- Six feet.
- Six feet.

- Typical German fashion, huh?

Thick concrete walls.

- I mean, look at it.
It's so solid.

- Oh, man.

Look at this.

The team is granted access

to artifacts
that were left behind

when the Nazi troops fled
this area

at the end of the war.

These objects were entombed
in this bunker

for nearly 70 years.

- This is the sort of thing
that makes me very happy, Lenny.

- Ooh, look at that.
German Luger, right?

- Yeah, that's a German Luger.

This is really interesting,

because your common
garden troops

are not gonna be carrying
a Luger.

This is kind of elite stuff.

It's not the sort of kit

that you're gonna be handing out
to recruits.

That suggests that you've got
some troops in the area

who kind of know
what they're about.

- Oh, really?

- In this... in this position.

- So there's a radar here.

- Really?

- There's a whole level
of sophistication

to support clandestine
operations.

Something big was going on here.

- Look at this room in here.

- It's a big one.
- Look at this.

- Yeah.
- What went on in here?

- Luftwaffe's here,
the German air force.

This is like some sort
of a command post

or a control center?

- What aircraft
are we talking about here?

- Night fighters.

Operating from as far north

as the Danish coast,
the Nazi night fighters were

one of the most elite squadrons

of Hitler's Luftwaffe air force.

Utilizing experimental forms

of radar, avionics,
and weaponry,

they executed missions
in the dead of night,

wreaking havoc
on Allied targets.

- Well, the interesting thing,
Lenny, about this place

is that anyone
who's working here

is doing so under, you know,
high security.

You know, you're not allowed
to breathe a word of this.

In other words, these are people
that can keep a secret.

These are people you can trust.

If I was Hitler and if I was
trying to get out,

I would want to come to Denmark.

It's the one place where
the Germans are still occupying,

that they've got
all the infrastructure

that you could possibly want.

You've got the secure bunkers,

you've got the radar system,

and you've got troops.

So Denmark is about
as good a place

as you can hope to go to,
as any in the world.

- What I really find
interesting about Misiones

is, of course, we have
this fifth structure here

that's consistent
with the others.

While the European team

continues
to investigate Denmark,

Bob and John review the findings

from the jungles
of Misiones, Argentina,

which could be home to
a Nazi militarized compound,

as reported by a declassified
Argentinian document.

- It is not consistent
with a civilian structure.

This is out in the middle
of the jungle.

These people were prepared
for an attack of some sort.

- Agreed.

And here I have the discoveries

that we found
from our investigative efforts.

There's a wall
that's encircling the compound.

You have the guard shack,

and you also have
building number four.

It's a two-story structure

that looks like
it could have been used

to house soldiers
or security forces.

- You know, the patterns,

it does look like some sort
of outer perimeter.

- What's really critical here
is building one.

This is the one
with the opulent residence.

This is the epicenter.

- Then everything else
surrounds that.

It's clear to me this was
some sort of compound.

- Now, look at this,
this right here.

It's strange.

Here's the water, and this is
a point that's not protected.

This is the proverbial
Achilles heel.

Anybody that knows anything
about fortifying

any type of military compound

would not leave this open
right here.

This is pretty conspicuous.

- Yeah.

- If I was seeking to capture
whoever was in building one,

there's only one place
I would come in,

and that's the small inlet
shaped just like a heel.

And there appears to be
a straight shot from the inlet

directly to building number one.

- You get a Zodiac there
on the shore

and be up at building one
without a protection

in two minutes.

You simply don't take
your chances

hoping that nobody's going
to come up out of the water.

You have to look
at all the labor

that went into this compound.

We're talking millions of
dollars to build this place.

And if you're going to put
that kind of money into it

and put military arms into it,

you're going to find a way
to defend the whole thing.

- We need to get our team
on the ground here

and to find out what else
is here or may have been there

that would have offered
more protection

for building number one.

- Yeah, we have to complete
the picture here.

- Movement of a high-value
target in this area,

you can't find a better place
on the planet to do it

than right here.

Tim Kennedy, Alasdair Brooks,

and Daniel Schávelzon

navigate the waters
of the Paraná River,

which runs
along the Misiones compound.

- So I have our point
of interest plotted on the GPS

in between these cliffs

right at the water's edge.

- These cliffs
are certainly spectacular.

- They're visually stunning,
absolutely,

but as a climber,
those are treacherous.

- Even if you're not carrying
that much equipment,

these are a barrier.

- Right around this bend
is that spot.

- So this is it.

- So we have a cliff face here,
another cliff here,

and this somewhat lower level
when you look at it.

- That's some of the densest
jungle we've seen so far.

- There could be someone

standing one foot
in that vegetation,

and we couldn't see them.

You could have artillery
sitting there,

and we couldn't see it.

- You could have a house
in there,

and you couldn't see it.

- There are houses in there,
and we can't see them.

- Absolutely true.

It's difficult for us
to get close.

- Yeah, there's a bunch of logs
and tree stumps

that are in there too.

Wait, wait, wait, wait,
wait, wait.

You see that?

Hey, can we flip back around?

- Do you think
you saw something?

- There is definitely
a different color

from the vegetation
in the background.

I saw something kind of tan.

- Something over here?

- Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep.
Right there.

Is that all one big rock?

- It is.

- If this is your access point

and they're building
fortifications

that prevent your access,
this is strategic.

We got to see what that is.

Oh, it's cold.

- Be careful.

- That is way bigger
than I thought.

And it's thick enough.

It would stop bullets.

It would stop a grenade.

Look at this.

That's timber.

It's not a tree.

This might be the... like,
the edge of a foundation

to a structure right here.

They could have built it
right into this wall.

It would have had
overhead cover.

Use some of the vegetation
as camouflage,

pile it up on top of this.

This is completely bullet-proof

at the one point that you have
access to the shore.

Wait. What is this?

This, you cannot miss.

That is a perfect right angle.

These are chisel marks too.

What the...

You could shoot
straight across this.

There's no possible way

that somebody could get across
this body of water alive.

This is going to give you
an elevated position

to rain down hell.

- We have this infrastructure

along the coast of Denmark.

Obviously, elite German
Nazi forces were there.

- Which would have been
loyal to Hitler.

- Definitely the ability
to protect Hitler.

- Yeah, I agree.

Bob and John discuss
the European leg

of their investigation,
which is focusing

on Hitler's possible flight
to Denmark

the day before
he was believed dead,

as reported
by a declassified MI6 file.

- The question is, if Baumgart
or any other pilot

were to come into Denmark,
where's the airstrip?

- Yeah, I agree.

- Let's dig into the database
to see what we can find.

- Yeah, let's see
what we come up with.

Nuremburg trial, 15 March 1948.

Interrogation of Friedrich
von Angelotty-Mackensen.

- Yeah, he was a major
in the SS.

- "You saw Hitler and
several comrades in May 1945."

"Yes."

"Who were his comrades?"

"I only know that in one of
the planes in which Hitler was,

"that this plane was being
flown or piloted

by a certain Captain Baumgart."

Voila.

"Where did you see them?"

"In Tonder."

- Where's Tonder?

- I've never heard of it.

There we go.

- Right there,
at the German border.

- Yeah,
right on the German border.

So basically,
if this SS major was right,

he flies from Berlin.

As soon as he gets across
the border into Denmark,

which is still Nazi occupied...
And puts down there.

Here's a guy whose life
was in the balance,

and in the middle
of the questioning,

he says he saw Hitler in Tonder.

I think that's huge.

"Hitler."

"Tonder."

"Denmark."

There we go.

- Luftwaffe airfields
from 1935 to '45 in Denmark.

The landing ground
of southwest Denmark.

It was a World War I
German airship station.

It was abandoned
after the First World War.

It was listed in World War II
German documents

as an available landing ground.

- It's a clandestine airport.

It's what we were looking for.

It's utterly remarkable.

This isn't like a known place,
you know?

If he said, "Oh, I saw Hitler
at Copenhagen Airport,"

that's sort of a giveaway.

But he's talking about a base

that was unknown to most people,

probably to very few people.

It had been a World War I base

that it was possible
to still land in there.

- Well, it had to be,
because he was there.

- Yeah.

The question is, one,

could you put an airplane down
that's flown from Berlin?

Two, what do you do from there?

- We need to get the team
in there to look at that

to see how it could have
been used in late April 1945.

- Let's get into Tonder.

- Well, rumors.

- There's rumors.

- You know what rumors are,
right?

- Yeah, yeah.

Where there's smoke...

- We'll find a fire.

Lenny DePaul and James Holland

head for the location
of the Tonder airfield

in search of evidence

that Hitler
could have used this site

as a transit point to Spain.

- Here we go.
- Oh, here it is right here.

- Yeah.

- All right, let's go in here.

Looks like a hangar.

Certainly could have
accommodated an airplane.

Massive, massive building.

Yo! - Hello!

- I'm Lenny.
- Anders.

- Anders, nice to meet you.

The team makes
contact with Anders Jacobsen,

an expert on Nazi Luftwaffe
activities in Denmark.

- What is this?

- It was originally built
in 1914

to protect the German imperial
navy airship base here.

- What about the runway?

- The airstrip right here,

in both directions.

- Really?
Just right in front of us?

- Yes.
- This way?

- Yes.
- Is there any remnants

of a tarmac or pavement
or anything?

- No, no.

There was no tarmac or anything,
no concrete.

It was grass.

- They landed on grass.
- They landed on grass.

- And what kind of troops
would have been here?

- We have reports of Luftwaffe
personnel being here.

In total clandestine conditions,
you could land here.

There would be no one here

except those people
that you would like to be here.

This was top secret
at that time.

- It wasn't a concrete runway
or anything,

but it's still in German hands.

It's got all the facilities
you could need.

It's not on the enemy radar
at all.

You know, that has a lot
to be said for it.

- How long was the runway?
Any idea?

- It would have been about
1,000 times, 1,000 meters.

So... - Not quite a mile.

- Yeah.

- This is pretty big.

But if these trees did exist,

you're certainly not going
to get a big airplane in here.

Maybe a smaller one,

but how's anybody going
to get out of here

on a bigger aircraft and make
his way all the way to Spain?

- That discounts it completely.

- What if these trees
weren't here?

- If there was
nothing there, boom,

perfect spot
to land and take off.

But if those trees were standing
70 years ago, we're in trouble.

This one here looks good.

I'm going to take a sample
of this tree

and make a determination

on how long this tree's
been standing here.

Got to get in there as deep
as I can,

so at least six inches, anyway.

Lenny uses an incremental borer,

a highly specialized instrument

that acquires a sample
from deep within a tree's core

that will allow experts
to determine the age

of these trees
down to the month.

- That's what I'm looking for
right there.

There's my sample.

We're talking about
a 70-year-old cold case here.

The smallest bit of evidence,

like this tree sample
that I just took,

stands in the way
between me knowing

whether or not Hitler
could have flown out of here

on a big aircraft.

These results could be
what makes or breaks the case.

- This manmade structure...

And you can see
where the rock is cut here...

There's no other explanation
for that

except to defend
this group of buildings.

Bob Baer and John Cencich

review the findings from the
team in Misiones, Argentina.

- I mean, I'll go out on a limb.

And considering what we found,
this was a Nazi compound.

You've got weapons, bullets,

guard houses,
defensible perimeter.

It was a Nazi military zone,

and it was protecting one person
who was very important.

Whoever was there
didn't feel comfortable

wandering around South America.

It had to be somebody
really damn important.

The problem is,
the only thing we have

connecting Hitler with this
is the stomach medicine.

- It's a potential connection.

- Hitler has a serious ailment,

and stockpiles of medicine
for that type of problem

are found in this building
in Misiones.

- I think the stomach medicine
is important,

but it's tenuous.

I like the stomach medicine,

but it's really just
highly speculative.

I mean, that's not going
to convince me

at the end of the day.

I want something more.

- Let's not forget
that within 50 miles,

there are several small towns.

From my perspective,
that's the next logical place

to take this investigation,
is to find out

whether or not
there are people still alive

or people alive
that have been told from others

what was going on
at this location.

- Yeah, I'd be shocked
if people in that area

didn't know something
about this compound.

Someone is going to have
something to say

that's going to add
another piece

that may put us closer
to putting Hitler here.

- Sounds like a plan.

- Let's walk across and talk
to that guy right there.

Tim Kennedy makes his way

through the small towns

that make up
the Misiones province,

50 miles from the Nazi
militarized compound

in the jungle.

- No, no, no, no.

- So we'll have to find somebody
to talk to.

Tim is joined

by world-renowned investigative
journalist Gerrard Williams

and a local translator.

- To try and track down
the escape of Adolf Hitler

70 years after it happened

is going to be difficult
for anybody.

- I'm trying to find
German families

that lived in this area
for a really, really long time.

No. - No?

- Okay, bueno.
- Thank you.

- To think that he escaped

and we are still being lied to
70 years on

makes me very, very angry
and always will do.

So we follow
as many leads as we can,

every single thing
that we come up against.

- We're trying to find

if there's any rich
German families.

- No, no, no, no.

- The ones that look like
they'd know something

are the guys
that never want to talk.

- Yeah.

- There's a recurring theme
here.

- Hmm.
- Everywhere.

To this day,

the power of the Nazi idea
still exists here.

People are still tight-lipped,
close-mouthed

about anything
associated with the Nazis.

- Buenas tardes.
- Buenas tardes, chicos.

- My friend and I are trying to
find families here in the area,

specifically German families

that have lived here
a long time.

- He says it could be
a little dangerous, actually,

to talk about it in this area.

- After the war
or before the war?

It's after the war.

- After the war.
- I'm a journalist...

- Okay, he tells us that there
actually is one person

who might could help us out.

- Okay, he's called
Anibel Silvero.

- Silvero.

- He's from here, yeah,

and he knows a lot
of what happened about Nazis.

- It's obvious the city holds
a seriously dark secret.

There are many, many
German families here

that are hiding something.

But you only do that
for one reason:

because they're still scared.

There is still
a huge amount more

to be discovered in Misiones.

And that's
what we're going to do.

We'll get to the bottom of it.

- We're a long way
from a main road, Tim.

- Yeah.

In the outskirts
of Misiones, Argentina,

Tim Kennedy and Gerrard Williams

prepare to make contact
with a local man

who is rumored
to have information

about Nazi activities
in the area.

- Honestly,
I'm not totally comfortable

meeting someone
we haven't vetted in the...

- On a dirt road in the middle
of the forest in Argentina?

- After we've been
walking around town

asking about Nazis.

Their contact

has requested to meet the team
at night,

due to the sensitivity
of his information.

- I got your back.

- Hola, señor.
- Hola.

- Hola, hola.
- Buenas noches.

- Buenas noches.
- Geraldo.

Why are we here?

- Why here, out in the forest,
in the middle of nowhere?

- It's really close. He said
you need to come and see it.

- What the hell is this,
in the middle of the forest?

That's amazing.

- What is this place?

- The house was built
in the '40s,

and this was the most wealthy
family in the area.

- This family had meetings here
in this house under a Nazi flag.

Rumors actually say

that they also were heiling
before going in.

- Is it safe to go inside?
Can we go and walk around?

- Okay.

- What the hell?

Gerrard.

The tile in here?

- Yeah?

- I've seen it before.

- Where?

- In a military compound
off the Paraná river.

- The same style, Tim?
The same color, what?

- The pattern, the layout.

They either
had the same designer,

the same architect,
the same supplier,

or all of the above.

- Well, I'd say
it's been deserted a while.

Why is this house derelict?

Where did the Bremers go?

- Could this house be
a safe house?

Could this simply be a place
where intelligence was gathered?

We don't really know
at this stage.

- Can you ask Anibel...

We need names for people
that we can go and talk to.

Can he supply us with any?

- Goering?
- Goering.

The grand-niece
of Hermann Goering.

- Hermann Goering,
the head of the Luftwaffe,

his great-niece
is living in Misiones?

- Coincidences like this
don't exist.

- It's not a coincidence.
How can it be?

Goering obviously rings
immediate alarm bells

to anybody who studied
the Third Reich.

Goering is a founding member of
the Nazi party,

and in the event
of Hitler's death,

it was Goering
who was to become Fuehrer.

To find a relative of that man
living in Argentina,

in Misiones, is amazing.

- We have to talk to her.

- Yeah, completely.

This is what happens
when you dig in really deeply.

We could be on the verge
of finally finding the truth.

Next time on "Hunting Hitler"...

- Holy. This just got real.

- Where did Margarita find
all this?

- Hidden behind a wall.
- Sí, mira.

- Behind a wall? Why?

What are they trying to hide?

- Look at the damage on that,
Mike!

- Bormann?
- Bormann.

- Martin Bormann
is meant to be dead.

- We have an alleged picture

of an aged Adolf Hitler,
post war.
