Hunting Hitler (2015–…): Season 3, Episode 8 - Hitler's Last Will - full transcript

What intrigues me is Paraguay.

Even if half of those
sightings are accurate,

he's doing something up there.

Like, we got to find this place.

Look at this fence.

Why do you need that out here?

Yeah, walls are very thick.

They're thick enough
to stop a bullet.

This might be a guard shack.

From this one position alone,

you could almost
lock down this valley.



This is where Adolf Hitler
can stay safe and secure,

move his plans forward
for the Fourth Reich.

HUNTING HITLER - SEASON 3
EP - 8 - Hitler's Last Will

We have been collecting
evidence for three years.

I never thought
we would get this far.

CIA veteran Bob Baer

and former terrorist
targeting officer Nada Bakos

are using
an asset-mapping strategy,

following the known
assets of Adolf Hitler

to determine where he could've
gone after World War II.

Look at these photographs.

They review the findings
from Salto Suizo, Paraguay,

where declassified files
and an eyewitness report

led the team
to a potential hideout



for Hitler deep in the jungle.

Look at this compound
we found in Paraguay.

I mean, that place
is defensible.

There's just simply no way
you're going to get in there

and surprise anybody.

We've got completely
controlled access.

We've got cliffs on all sides.

There's only one road in,

and it's blocked off
by this guard house.

I mean, most people
do not build guard houses

around their compounds.

This compound clearly fits
all the parameters

that we were looking for.

Yes, all of these things
would serve somebody

like Adolf Hitler,

and he could spend years
living in this house

and in this compound,

and no one
would know the better.

The problem is, the Nazis
are not running operations

out in the middle of nowhere.

This place is too small,
too provincial.

If you're building
the Fourth Reich,

you need access to personnel,

communications
and transportation

to actually run
operations with money,

and the rest of it's got
to be somewhere else.

Right.

So where are they
operating out of?

Let's do a search
and see what we got.

Look at this, CIA,
Nazi war criminals,

espionage network
in Latin America.

Latin America was parceled out
among various agents.

Walter Rauff was assigned Chile

and Joseph Mengele Paraguay.

This is crucial because
there's an organization here.

There is a structure.

They've divided up
South America,

trusted SS officers
that know what they're doing,

and they're in South America,
not hiding but organizing.

This is a huge piece
of the story

because it tells me those Nazi
communities in South America,

they're a bunch of cells,

and they were connected
by these senior leaders.

Walter Rauff in Chile

and Joseph Mengele in Paraguay,

they've divided up the Fourth
Reich in South America.

Walter Rauff, SS officer,

designed mobile gas
chambers responsible

for the death of 100,000
peopleing the Holocaust.

His whole life was about
making murder efficient.

This guy was a huge danger
to humanity.

Earlier in the investigation,
we determined

with a fair amount
of certainty Walter Rauff

was connected with
Colonia Dignidad.

Colonia Dignidad
is a secretive place

in the middle of nowhere, Chile.

It's not a question
if Nazis were there.

It's, what were
they doing there?

This is major.

This is, like, a country
within a country

where they can do
anything they want.

The Colonia Dignidad,

you've got security,
tunnels and bunkers,

reinforced
communications equipment.

It's a big military camp.

Rauff is clearly a major
player in the Fourth Reich.

If he's the Nazi
in charge of Chile,

what else was he doing
that we don't know about?

If we can figure out
what Rauff was up to,

we're going to get to
the beating heart

of the Fourth Reich.

-That's what it said.

U.S. Army Green Beret
Mike Simpson

and former U.S. Marshals
Commander Lenny DePaul

land in Santiago, Chile.

- Hello, sir.
- Hi.

They meet with Pedro Mata,

a professor at Trinity College

who specializes
in Latin American history,

to better understand
Walter Rauff's role in Chile

after World War II.

We wanted to talk specifics

with respect to a guy

by the name of Walter Rauff.

Mm-hmm.

I was at Colonia Dignidad,
and, of course, on the surface,

Paul Schaefer was
the man in charge,

but everything that I've seen
in my investigation

has led me to believe
that Walter Rauff

was the one pulling
the strings there.

What was DINA?

Formed under fascist
dictator of Chile

Augusto Pinochet,

DINA was a secret police
force started in 1973.

Its role was to silence
all opposition,

often using extreme violence

similar to the tactics
of the Nazis.

DINA sounds
just like the Gestapo.

Doesn't sound like the Gestapo.

It is the Gestapo.

They're not just re-enacting
the Nazi methodology in Germany.

They're extending it.

This continued
right here in Chile.

Walter Rauff brought
that Nazi playbook right here.

Pedro was able to get us
into these archives

where apparently no one has
ever seen these documents.

They were just recently
released about 2 months ago,

so it is extremely important
that we see this stuff.

We need to find out
fully what the vision

was for Walter Rauff's
Fourth Reich plans.

Look at this stuff.

Page one. Wow.

All Nazi Germans,
all wearing a swastika.

Look at this.

What were so many Nazis
doing in Chile?

They were setting the table
for something.

I mean, some of these photos,
they're marching.

They're just not here
collecting data

and going to church.

What were they training for?

Mm-hmm.

So they had plans to blow up
the Panama Canal?

- Yes.
- Geez, if that happened,

they would've crippled
the Americans.

Unbelievable.

The Nazis right here in Chile

were going to take out
the Panama Canal,

and that was U.S. territory
into the '70s.

They were going to
attack us on our own soil.

It talks about

that they were setting up
communication nodes,

communication networks.

Communications, if you're
going to run a spy network,

that is always key.

You see some of these photos.

You can see some of the radios.

Wow.

Mm-hmm.

So they had comms

throughout all
of South America if needed?

It's pretty easy to control
the entire country of Chile

if you got radios.
You're talking to each other.

There's communications going on.

I was at Colonia Dignidad,
and I saw the tower

that they have there
with the radio antenna.

Wow.

We're about just shy
of 3,000 feet up

off the valley floor.

I thought Colonia Dignidad
was an isolated thing.

There was another camp.

Oh.

754 camps?

Wow.

Unbelievable.

Up until now,
I had firmly believed

that Colonia Dignidad
was an isolated incident.

The mere idea that there
were as many as 754

copies of Colonia Dignidad,
it's just mind-boggling.

This was Nazism in its purest
and most evil form.

This goes much deeper
than we'd ever imagined.

Look what we found in Chile.

These guys down here
are planning to blow up

the Panama Canal.

The Nazis were a lot closer
to attacking us

from Latin America
than they were from Europe.

Bob and Nada review the findings

from the team in Santiago,
Chile,

where a declassified
CIA document

reports that Nazi war criminal
Walter Rauff

may have been
overseeing an operation

to prepare Chile
for a Nazi Fourth Reich.

We know that Rauff
was actually leading

the DINA secret police,

so they were using
the Nazi skill set

to control the population

and to achieve
whatever they wanted.

Don't you find this
just, like, appalling,

that a mass murderer,

Walter Rauff, a wanted Nazi,

is running the secret police
of an Allied country?

And not only that,
we have reports

of almost 800
military camps in Chile.

I mean, 800 camps?

What were they doing?

If you look at Colonia Dignidad,
it was a fortress in Chile.

What were they doing
with the 800 other camps?

We don't know.

We got into Colonia Dignidad,

and it was amazing
what we found there.

They're making arms.

They could've made
biochemical weapons.

They were training.

I mean, I was astounded.

I had no idea that
this sort of Nazi camp

existed in South America,

but now we're talking
about 800 camps.

Imagine the power that they
would've had in South America

if they had
800 Colonia Dignidads.

We need to find someone
who can tell us more

about what's happening
in these camps.

Yeah, you're right.

The question is, were these
camps all connected

and coordinating?

There could've been Nazi camps
set up across Chile

run by SS officers

that would give
them infrastructure

to create the Fourth Reich.

After seeing just how
horrendous it was firsthand

in Colonia Dignidad,

you don't want to believe
that something

that terrible can be widespread.

Mike Simpson and Lenny DePaul

land in Iquique, Chile,
to investigate

the capabilities of the camps'
spread across Chile

after World War II.

We know that Colonia Dignidad

was literally one of the most
evil places in the world,

and up until now,
I had firmly believed

that Colonia Dignidad
was an isolated incident,

but I'm shocked to hear
that it was not,

that there were as
many as 754 camps.

So now the question is,
what was the specific planning

and implementation
of the Fourth Reich

in these camps?

The team makes contact
with Hector Pavolich,

who was imprisoned
at one of these camps

along with his family.

Hector? Hector?

Tomas. - Nice to meet you.

- Mucho gusto, señor.
- Hola.

We appreciate his time,

and tell him thanks for
coming out to talk to us.

We very much appreciate it.

We understand you spent
some time in camp.

He was detained the 11th
of September of '73.

He was a prisoner
with his father

and after that with his mother.

-Mm.

- He was 22.
- Okay.

How long was he in the camp?

He was 8 1/2 months in Pisagua.

Pisagua is the name of the camp?

When he says, "Camp,"
is it like a prison,

or what exactly went on there?

So the first thing when
they arrived at the camp,

it was, like, beatings.
Like, they...

-...just beat them up.

They had them locked
down and tortured.

The camp had the presence
of German Nazi.

German Nazis?
I mean, who was it?

Walter Rauff was the guy
who was in charge of everything.

Unbelievable.
And he was torturing this man?

This is major
because this confirms

that this was all part
of a larger network.

Colonia Dignidad and this camp
were related

and both under the command
of Walter Rauff,

and this was not
an isolated incident

we uncovered previously.

This was a network. - Wow.

Walter Rauff had a lot
to do with these camps.

How much do you know
about the level of control

that he had on the camps,

how much he participated in
what went on there day to day

and how many of these camps
he might've been supervising?

I need to see Pisagua.
We need to see it.

Would it be possible
for you to take us there?

And I know what I'm asking
you is very difficult.

He's still alive is
to tell what happened,

so he would be happy
to take you.

- I appreciate your courage.
- Yeah.

Walter Rauff had a game plan.

He's here for something.

He's not sitting here
running prisons

because he wants to be a warden.

He's looking at a Fourth Reich.

There's a plan in place,
but to fully understand

what Walter Rauff wanted to do,

Mike and I need
to get to Pisagua

and see what's going on there.

O0 C1

We're literally
at the end of the world.

Following
a declassified CIA file

claiming that SS officer
Walter Rauff

was overseeing the Nazi
Fourth Reich in Chile,

Mike, Lenny and
their translator, Tomas,

traverse the Atacama Desert
towards Pisagua Prison Camp,

accompanied by Hector Pavolich,

a political dissident who spent
2 years imprisoned at this camp.

As a minimum, there
were 754 camps here in Chile.

This uncovers a whole new aspect
to the Fourth Reich

that we had never seen before.

What were they doing?

Wow.

This is like a black-site prison

where you send people
to disappear.

That's where they built
the barracks for the camp.

So this is right here,
right, right here?

Right.

The barracks were made
for the prisoners.

He only saw the sunlight,
like, 15 days.

So in this area, they have
machine guns put up to,

like, control the camp.

Follow the Nazi blueprints.

Look at that.

When they first
brought you to the camp,

where was the exact spot
where they unloaded you?

Right in front of the jail.

Would he mind taking us down
there to get a closer look?

Hector leads the team
to the camp's central jail,

1/4 mile below
the machine-gun overlook.

-Yes.

Three stories high.

So how many people
were imprisoned here?

Wow.

That's just mind-boggling
just even picturing

that much humanity
crammed into this small space,

using the same Nazi trade craft,
just rounding them up,

putting them in camps.

So they made them stand here

before carrying them
to the cells.

Why?

They took their name aways,

and he became number 14.

They wouldn't even
use your name?

You were just number 14?

This looks more and more
like a Nazi prison camp

in every way from the layout
to the way they processed

the prisoners,
numbering and dehumanizing.

Everything is there.

This is the route
they made them walk

to get to the barracks

for torture,
blindfolded, tied up.

The team heads
500 yards to the location

of the former prison barracks.

What did they do to you?

They had practically, like,

a lab with different
torture systems,

terrible things here.

It's like the Nazis years ago.

Yeah, it's all the same.
It's their manual.

When he was being tortured

in one of the first
barracks here

when he was tied up like this,

they hit him with a stick.

The blindfold moved up,

and he saw on his right
the Nazi flag,

on his left, the Chilean flag.

Nazi flag, doesn't get
any more plain than that.

Carrying their colors.

What we're seeing
here in Pisagua

is starting to remind us more

and more of what a Nazi
concentration camp looks like.

It's all about control.

They want to silence
the opposition.

If you opposed anything that
this regime was trying

to incorporate,

you came here to one of these
camps, and you suffered.

They're not only taking pages
from the Nazi playbook.

They're flying their flag.

The ultimate price
for no cooperation.

Hector leads the team
to the westernmost edge

of the compound,

the site of a massive graveyard.

Look at this.

Oh, my God.

It's a mass grave where he
personally found the bodies

of the people that were
executed in Pisagua.

All right here?

Yes.

People that no one knew
where they end at,

they were found here.

I'm immediately reminded
of the mass graves,

you know, Auschwitz, Dachau,

Terezín, you know,
all those places

that the Nazis would
just line them up

and put bullets
in the back of their heads

and just push them in
and push the dirt over,

the way they brought them in,
the way they numbered them,

the way they split them up,
the way they dehumanized them,

tortured them right up

until the way they disposed
of them

like they were nothing,

like they weren't
even human beings.

This philosophy made it
halfway around the world

and grew roots here

to a Nazi-style
concentration camp

flying a Nazi flag.

That whole Nazi ideology
just continued on after the war.

These were not Nazis who
had escaped to South America

to live out their days
in obscurity.

They were brazen.

They were open,
spreading their ideology

and cultivating a Fourth Reich,

what appears to be a violent,

iron-fisted control
of the opposition,

even the most dangerous
weapon, mass murder.

O0 C1 That whole Nazi ideology,
I mean,

it just got uplifted
from Germany

and set down
right here in Chile.

Yeah, just different coat
of paint on it,

different language.

After investigating
a remote torture camp

run by high-ranking
Nazi Walter Rauff,

who could've been responsible

for Fourth Reich
operations in Chile...

...Lenny and Mike land
outside of Santiago

where they prepare
to make contact

with an anonymous informant,

the grandson of
a Nazi war criminal

who previously shared thousands
of never-before-seen documents

with Tim and Gerrard
in Buenos Aires.

We understand that
you have documents

that detail the movement
of Nazis

in Argentina postwar.

I've not seen documents
like this before.

These are proof

of these Nazis
coming into the country.

This informant has now agreed
to meet the team in Chile

and has told them that he has
potentially history-changing

documents connected
to Walter Rauff

and the Fourth Reich in Chile.

He's a credible source.

And we've vetted
everything he's given us,

and everything he's
given us so far...

- Yeah.
- ...has been completely correct.

Well, we'll see what
he knows about Chile.

Yeah, this is it.

The team arrives at a private
home where the informant,

along with his translator,
Filipe,

has arranged to meet them
under the condition

that his identity be protected.

- Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you.

We appreciate you taking
some time to come

and speak to us again.

It's a pleasure
for me to receive you.

Well, it's very
much appreciated.

What can you tell
us specifically

about Walter Rauff
operating in Chile?

These are some of
the last documents

written in Nazi Germany.

How did he get
his hands on these?

A family related to Rauff.

You received these
from his family?

Certainly.

What is this?

Well, this is the last will,

the last personal will
of Adolf Hitler.

Hitler's last will
and testament.

Why are they here in Chile?

These are, like, microfilm.

And just looking at the first
one, you can see on this,

there's the eagle and swastika
right at the top.

Yep.

I don't speak German.

If you can give us
a translation...

Adolf Hitler says that
he wants every German,

every man, every woman,
every soldier of Wehrmacht,

"Our task is the expansion
of the National Socialist State

and the fight against
the poison of the world,"

as he says, written
and signed in Berlin,

April 29, 1945, at 4:00.

There it is in black and white.

Right here before us

are the most important
Nazi documents.

In the age before
computer files,

microfilm was a way
to shrink down documents

and make them easier to carry.

I've long known of the existence
of these documents,

but to see the actual
microfilm, it's chilling.

On April 29, 1945,

the day before he reportedly
committed suicide,

Adolf Hitler called
his secretary

into his office
in the Fuehrerbunker

and asked her to type up
an important document...

His last will and testament.

Reportedly, three copies
of the document

were sent by courier
out of the Fuehrerbunker,

intended for
Hitler's associates.

All three copies were
intercepted by the Allies

in the days following.

We've always assumed
that there were only three

because we captured three,

but I'm wondering
is if there were more.

Was there a fourth copy?

We might be looking
at it right now.

These documents leave
the Fuehrerbunker

and end up in Chile.

Is that what you're saying?

But this is one of
the highest secrets.

There was one of the last groups

escaping from the Hitler bunker.

- It's here for a reason.
- Yeah.

It's not just to have
a copy of it.

Right. What were they thinking?

What was their mind

Let's bring Adolf Hitler's
ideologies to Chile,

or did Hitler himself come here?

Huge piece of the puzzle
for us, huh?

It's no coincidence
that these documents,

the last thing Hitler touched

before he reportedly
committed suicide,

traveled the exact same route

that we have used
to track Hitler.

It not only is proof that his
escape route was possible,

but also, for the members
of the Fourth Reich,

these documents would've
been the equivalent

of the Ark of the Covenant.

This would've been
their template,

their way forward
for the Fourth Reich.

For some reason,
Chile was chosen

as the ultimate destination.

This isn't all coincidental.

O0 C1Here's the last words
of Adolf Hitler

in the bunker
on the 29th of April.

For some unexplained reason,
shows up in Chile.

Bob and Nada review
the findings from Chile

where the team made
a groundbreaking discovery,

a potential photo negative
of a never-before-seen

fourth copy of Adolf Hitler's
last will and testament.

So you can see the colors, so...

- It's polyester.
- Yeah.

The team brought in
a local expert

who was able to confirm the
authenticity of the negative,

dating to the end
of World War II.

I mean, this takes us
back to ground zero,

the last time we know
that Hitler was alive.

After the 29th,
there was still stuff

coming out of the bunker,

and this is evidence of it.

What else got out of the bunker?

Somehow, a copy was smuggled out
from Hitler's hand to Chile,

which tells me Hitler
clearly had a rat line

out of Germany to South America,

and it worked very well.

You're not going to get a more
direct connection than that.

The fact that this was in Chile
and it made its way

out of the bunker
signifies to me

that the network
was alive and well.

They were using this document
to continue

to spread the propaganda.

This isn't just Hitler's
last will and testament.

I mean, this was his manifesto.
- Yeah.

If you were going to go make
the Fourth Reich,

you need a bible,
and it's right here.

You can see that the Nazis
were starting to spread

and take root.

After a year-long
investigation focused

on deconstructing Adolf Hitler's
network around the globe,

Bob and Nada review
their findings.

So I think this network approach
really helped define

and fill in the picture
around Hitler

and narrowed in
on how he could've escaped.

I agree with you.

The network approach has,
I mean, has paid off.

Hitler easily could've
gotten out of Europe,

and he easily could've
made it to South America.

And we found
multiple redundancies

in these escape routes.

We found a strong northern route

and a strong southern
route so that,

if one fell, he could
fall back onto the other.

Plane could fly all the way
from Europe into Argentina

where we know there
are a dense population

of high-ranking Nazis.

Not only that,
Hitler had protection

every place
he would've transited.

Behind that door,
you would find a total

of 3 1/2 miles
of underground tunnels,

400 feet of solid rock
above you right there.

That's enough to stop
a nuclear bomb.

From this one position alone,
you could walk this valley.

This is where Adolf Hitler
could stay safe and secure.

He had the protection
of fortified compounds,

and he had the protection
of world leaders

from Franco, Perón,
Stroessner, the Vatican.

There is documentatn
the priests at the time

would rebaptize Nazis
fleeing through the area.

This is where
they were born again

and assumed a new identity.

And it's not just
the political-leader support.

He's got support of all
these loyal associates

to help him establish safe haven

and setting up clear plans
for him to escape.

Kaltenbrunner is up here
kind of waiting

to be the fall guy.

Meanwhile, everyone else,

including possibly
Adolf Hitler himself,

is using all these better
routes to get out of here.

It's a ship manifesto.

Last name on the list...

Joseph Mengele,
Auschwitz's Angel of Death.

You look at the infrastructure.

You look at the assets
he had available.

There has never been an escape
network of this size

ever that I know of in history.

It's amazing.

Using asset mapping,
I'm more confident than ever

that he could've made it
to South America

and lived out his life
and led the Fourth Reich,

but beyond that, the evidence
all points to one route.

I'm pretty certain

I know the exact route
Adolf Hitler took

when he left Germany
and exactly where he ended up.

Now, I believe that
this evidence we have

of Hitler's route out

is good enough to have
somebody on the outside

to take a look at it.

We spent three years
pressure-testing

the unclassified documents

and all these Nazi facilities.

Now it's time to have somebody

pressure-test our investigation.

We never expected
a Hollywood ending to this.

There was going to be no finding
Adolf Hitler in his uniform,

putting him in jail for life,

but what we wanted to get at
was find enough evidence

that you could put it in front
of a jury and get a conviction.

Only, it wouldn't
be a conviction.

It would be, yeah, the guy got
away, or he didn't get away.

It's the only way we can
bring this to closure,

and to do that, we have to put
this evidence to the test.

In my mind, there's only
one thing left to do.

I want to take it
outside of this room

and take it to the FBI.

I want to know if we have
evidence hard enough

to say we think
this guy got away.

In the CIA, we gather evidence,

and the FBI is
a law-enforcement organization.

Intelligence agencies
collect intelligence

and give it to the FBI

to decide whether they have
enough evidence to pursue it.

From an intelligence
perspective,

this is the way it's done,

and this is what we're doing.

We have evidence
that he got out.

We have evidence of a route.

We are ready to prove our case.

We have been working around
the clock for three years.

We've had dozens and dozens
of people on the ground.

We have followed up
every lead...

- Wow.
- ...on Hitler's disappearance,

and I think we've
finally put together

this thread of the escape route,

and now I need to know
whether I'm right or wrong.

O0 C1 After a
3-year-long investigation

to uncover the true fate
of Adolf Hitler

at the end of World War II,

CIA veteran Bob Baer has decided
to put his theory to the test

by presenting his evidence
to one of the nation's

most seasoned man hunters,

retired FBI agent Bobby Chacon.

-Good. Thanks.

Going to the FBI
is the way it's done.

Intelligence agencies
collect intelligence

and give it to the FBI

to decide whether they
have enough evidence

to arrest somebody.

Let me start out by telling
you where I'm coming from.

We started with 700 FBI reports.

We expanded it
to intelligence services

all around the world.

After three years of doing
this investigation,

I'm convinced Hitler
could've gotten out.

I think we found a route.

So I think this is explosive,

but I've always been reluctant

to take this outside of the room

because you know
as well as I do,

we were verging on
conspiracy theory.

Right. Well, let's look
at what you've got.

Let's look at what's
come up with,

and we can go from there.

The escape route starts

in Berlin at his Fuehrerbunker.

There are multiple exits
out of this bunker,

but we found an exit
that was previously unknown,

the fifth exit.

Recently, I found an exit
into a new tunnel

very close to the bunker.

Are you kidding me?

Now Hitler has got
another way out.

Hitler could've gotten out
using a tunnel

leading to a makeshift runway

where we have
authenticated documents

corroborating the evidence.

Boom, he's on this
makeshift runway, and he's gone.

I've spent a career
doing exfiltrations,

and that's the way
I would do it.

It's a brilliant plan.

So you have a smaller plane
possibly taking him where?

From Berlin,

he takes a short flight
to a secure location,

Hohenlychen, Germany.

Look at the size
of this massive structure.

This is the size
of a small town.

Hohenlychen at this point
is not going to be bombed

because it's a hospital,

so putting Hitler there
is a smart move.

And then we have
eyewitnesses and documents

putting Hitler in
the same place, Hohenlychen.

Hitler came to visit

when she was working
there in Hohenlychen,

and she had to
take off Hitler's coat.

He was here more than once.

But by this point in the war,

there's no way that Germany
is not going to completely fall,

so what he has to do
is find a friendly country.

Where do we go next?

You look at Norway.

Norway is a place
controlled by Nazis,

and that's all you
need to know because,

every time we have a potential
to put Hitler in a country,

the central government is
in the control of pro-Nazis.

On the southern tip of Norway,

we have these lining the coasts.

You have a choke point.

Nobody can get in and out,

so what we're talking, 1945,
after the fall of Berlin,

so what are they
protecting here?

Narvik served as headquarters

for the command of all U-boats
in Norway.

Narvik was bombed
as late as May 4th.

Mm.

We cannot figure out
why it was bombed.

There's no record.

I mean, the war is over.

I mean, supposedly,
Hitler is dead.

Think they somehow had
word he might be there?

And I don't like to jump
to conclusions,

but you have to wonder.

We dove where the Allies
bombed on May 4th.

We find a U-boat
and a seaplane side by side.

And then we find a document
saying the Nazis

are refueling seaplanes

in the middle of
the ocean with U-boats.

These U-boats are serving
as mobile gas stations

in the middle of the Atlantic.

That solves the problem
of Hitler easily

and quickly getting
to South America.

So he gets to South America,
and where does he go?

Where does he feel safe?

And this is my favorite
part of the story

is a compound called Misiones.

Misiones is the crown
jewel in this plan.

You've got a Nazi compound
in the middle of nowhere...

This feels like
military barracks.

...evidence of troops
being up there, guard shacks.

Plus he's got the political
protection of Juan Perón,

the president of Argentina.

Have you ever seen
in your career

a compound like this ever?

Never.

The person that resided here

didn't want to be seen.

But that's not the end
of the story.

Perón falls in '55,

and suddenly,
your compound is put in peril.

Where do you go?

You go to Paraguay.

We've got Stroessner,
who's in charge of Paraguay,

and he was an open Nazi.

He's in power until '89,

way beyond the natural life
of Adolf Hitler.

In Paraguay,
we find Misiones 2.0,

another Nazi compound
called Salto Suizo.

It's isolated.

It's got approaches
that can be guarded.

This could be a perfect spot
for an ambush.

It's got buildings
that look like guard shacks.

Hitler could've been
safe there forever.

This is the final piece
of the puzzle.

I think this is explosive.

Like I said, I didn't think
this was even conceivable,

but I do believe now

that he could've gotten out
of the bunker

in the last days.

He could've been
put on a seaplane,

and he could've been
taken to South America.

What do you think?

I'm impressed.

I've worked cases that
have been cold a long time,

and what you've done here

is you completely
revived the case.

This is no longer a cold case.

To me, these are hot leads,

and you're right on his trail.

I've chased a lot of fugitives
in my career,

and ultimately, I caught them

with less of a trail
than you have here.

If we were sitting here
three years after the war

in a time frame
where Hitler was still alive

and you presented me
with all the work

that your team
has done on this case,

I would get a team
of FBI agents ready

to travel to South America
and go get the guy.

What you had to say I suspected

but was sort of
afraid to say it.

You know, it's great. I love it.

I love it.

We have officially shot
down the narrative

that Hitler died in the bunker.

It's simply a historical bias
that people live with.

It's lies we like
to tell ourselves

to make us feel better.

You always doubt
the official narrative,

and I think we've blown holes
in this thing from "A" to "Z,"

but this case is
by no means closed.

Find me a body.
