“The German submarine fleet is proud to have built for the Führer, in another part of the world, a Shangri-La (paradise), an impregnable fortress where he would be completely safe from his enemies”
Admiral Karl Doenitz, 1943

“The form of a myth is indeed externally conditioned by facts. There is a minimum of evidence with which it must comply if it is to live, but once lip service has been paid to that undeniable minimum, the human mind is free to indulge its infinite capacity for self-deception. When we consider upon what ludicrous evidence the most preposterous beliefs have been easily and by millions entertained, we may well hesitate before pronouncing anything incredible.”
Hugh Trevor-Roper, author of The Last Days of HItler, 1947.
"Phillip Bouhler - Chief of the Chancelary of Hitler and co-lead of the T4 Euthanasia program - wasn't just a party to Goring false betrayal of Hitler: he directly facilitated Hitler's escape, as part of the Plan V-S."
Peter David Orr, author of Eyewitness of Hitler's escape, 2020.
“The CIA was aware of and interested in rumors that Nazi leader Adolf Hitler escaped Germany at the end of the World War II and fled to South America, documents released this week by the U.S. foreign intelligence agency show. A CIA operative identified only by the moniker "CIMELODY-3" reported back to Washington in 1955 that a trusted contact – the Dutch national Philip Citroen Sr - had informed him that Hitler was alive and well in Tunja, Colombia, and showed him a picture of both.”

Nick Bellantoni - archeologist and bone specialist of the University of Connecticut - flew to Moscow to inspect the gruesome Hitler trophies at the State Archive, which included the skull fragment as well as bloodstains from the bunker sofa on which Hitler and Braun were believed to have committed suicide. He was allowed only one hour with the Hitler trove, during which time he applied cotton swabs and took DNA samples. "The bone seemed very thin; male bone tends to be more robust, and the sutures where the skull plates come together seemed to correspond to someone under 40,” he said...
At the university's center for applied genetics, Linda Strausbaugh closed her lab for three days to work exclusively on the Hitler project. "We used the same routines and controls that would have been used in a crime lab," she said. To her surprise, a small amount of viable DNA was extracted. She then replicated this through a process known as molecular copying to provide enough material for analysis Sixty-four years later, the world is still in the dark about what really happened in Hitler's bunker on 30 April 1945.
