DID HITLER SURVIVE WWII? HISTORY EXPLORES THE THEORY THAT ADOLF HITLER SUCCESSFULLY ESCAPED FROM THE BUNKER IN THE NEW SERIES “HUNTING HITLER”
EIGHT-PART SERIES PREMIERES TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 10 AT 10 PM ET/PT
NEW YORK, NY –October 13, 2015 – In 2014, the FBI declassified over 700 pages of secret documents suggesting the possibility that Adolf Hitler may have survived and fled to South America after the fall of Nazi Germany. A recently unearthed memo from legendary FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover states, “American Army officials in Germany have not located Hitler’s body nor is there any reliable source that will say definitely that Hitler is dead.” HISTORY’S new eight-part series “Hunting Hitler” follows a team of renowned investigators as they reopen the world’s most famous cold case in a definitive search to discover if one of history’s most notorious war criminals, Adolf Hitler, actually survived World War II. “Hunting Hitler,” premieres Tuesday, November 10 at 10PM ET/PT.
Is it conceivable that the world’s most wanted man pulled off history’s greatest disappearing act in hopes of possibly one day reclaiming the Nazi dream? Bob Baer, a 21-year CIA veteran and one of the most respected military intelligence minds in the world and premier war crimes investigator Dr. John Cencich lead a team of International military experts on the ultimate manhunt. Throughout the series the experts including International investigators, Nazi hunters, forensic scientists and journalists will examine the compelling mystery surrounding one the most infamous deaths of the 20th Century. With declassified worldwide intelligence providing a wealth of new clues and modern technology never before available, Baer has reopened this 70-year-old cold case to execute a global death claims investigation. From uncovering a mysterious Nazi lair deep in the Argentinian jungle to mysterious plane wreckage in a Columbian marsh, and diving for evidence of a missing U-Boat that could have shuttled Hitler out of Europe as Germany collapsed, the team will stop at nothing to uncover the truth.
Internationally, “Hunting Hitler” will air on HISTORY across 180+ territories. A+E Networks handles worldwide distribution for “Hunting Hitler.”

What do you think? Are you interested in Hunting Hitler? Do you plan to watch?
All hype to make a few bucks… The episode where they locate a German estate in Argentina that is supposedly so remote that you can only get there by water is complete baloney! They show a doctored photo to hide all the roads and even a complete town located maybe 10 – 20 miles south of the estate. In Google Earth, search “Bahia Istana, Los Lagos Department, Neuquen, Argentina”, and compare it to their Google Earth image and you’ll see what I mean….they could’ve just driven up to the estate as the highway/road goes right by it, but that would’ve… Read more »
I agree covering up the road in the photo is stupid, especially for a tv series covering such an explosive topic. What they should have done is point out that construction of the nearby road didn’t begin until the mid 1960’s.
Completely agree with your assessment. They make a big deal about the architectural plans showing a smaller structure in the back of the main building, making note that the structure would be hidden from the waterside. Then, their aerial and surface based observations reveal the structure must be underground – the perfect place to hide Hitler. What they fail to disclose is the map of the compound showing the main house and hidden structure is actually for a compound that sits about a kilometer to the north. This is pathetic. Bye bye History Channel – I have neither the time,… Read more »
“Everything appears to be based on far reaching speculation and is communicated to you at a grade 3 level.”
The above comment sums it up. This is a reality, survivor style representation of “What If”. With its fast passed – action packed music, the suspense that leads into a commercial break. The quick action packed rewind after each commercial break. The series lacks class, too game show-wish with cheap representation.
If Americans will believe Hillary and Bernie…they’ll believe ANYTHING.
If Americans fall for the lies of the Republican clowns, they’ll believe anything!
What an utter waste of time.
Everything appears to be based on far reaching speculation and is communicated to you at a grade 3 level.
Today was my last episode of this crap.
I have lost 3 hours of my life I’ll never get back..
I thought the series would improve but its the same crap week in week out
Well I like the show and anything is possible. Look at who actually ended up killing JFK. for years the government covered that up. So yeah I think there’s truth in this show. And it’s entertaining.
who killed JFK? You seem to think there has been some revelation on that.
I believe what they are saying in the episodes, if Hitler did survive and planned to escape, how would he do it and what route he would possibly take. They aren’t saying he lived and got away. Germans did get away to South America and that is fact. Eichman and Mengele are two examples. If you have an open mind, it is interesting.
Yes, they are saying that he escaped. They make that point over and over again.
“Hunting Hitler” Investigators at Templehoff Airport 20 feet underground in a “tunnel” and get GPS coordinates?? Bull ****.
Another attempt by the history channel to provide entertainment. This is based upon some crazy so-called state of the software, along with a little razzle dazzle, will ultimately find Hitler himself. At least we don’t have cameo appearances by the Axe Men or the Pawn Stars.
When I was going to school in What was West Germany at the time. 1965-1968, our class went to a underground mine. n the tour was over, we got ready to board the bus, when out of the woods came an Old Man around late 70’s who had lederhosen on and he looked exactly like Hitler. He was about 5’6″-5′ 7″ tall. He walked right up to us. I yelled out it’s him and everyone started screaming. The bus driver couldn’t get on the bus fast enough. Was he Hitler. I doubt it but he looked exactly like him with… Read more »
History (channel) is terrible. Use to watch it years ago and it was so much more real history content. Now most programming should be on reality channel. Pawn stars. Ax men.Shining a light , Oak Island,swamp People ? Come on. Im better off watching SmithsonianChannel and AHCH. Im not saying there is not a place for these shows but not on a channel calling itself History.
And futhermore, don’t you think those eye witnesses got the crap beat outta them to find out the reliability of their story. Oh yeah they did. Bunches of sleepless nights, no food and water boarding too. Reminds me of Cheech and Chong…I will not sign z papers.
actually, they did not get the crap beat out of them.
Great storyline, huh? Wish I coulda thought of it and have a bunch of dumbasses (me one) to watch the show so I could make a few bucks. It’s game folks. All game
As one of the viewers said, Fascinating, captivating….I tell ya what I watched 1st show and the guys of this show produced it for cash. It’s just another fake reality show. Made for TV to make some guys a few bucks. Lieing peices of junk. No one can sue em cuz they’re all dead. Ppl you figure it out. Reality shows ARE NOT reality. Your own life is reality… Live it!
article:: subs using Chicago river to get to the pacific ocean, question would it have been possible for war criminals to find there way up the Mississippi river to live in the USA in 1945 or after the war.
Fascinating, captivating. It is completely possible to consider Hitler’s escape. The only substantial evidence of Hitler’s death for seventy years was the remains held by Russian Intelligence, which has since been proven to be inconsistent. Looking forward to the upcoming episode’s.
If you don’t like it – then don’t watch it. The intentions of all TV shows is to entertain and in some cases inform. How many times in recent years has DNA reversed cases of those wrongfully convicted, solved crimes, identified remains and crime details about decades old cases? New technology and DNA has allowed us to discover things we were never able to in the past. In all reality, a man with the resources, wealth and intelligence that Hitler had, it isn’t a far stretch to think that maybe…JUST MAYBE he planned an escape to save his skin? Either… Read more »
