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?
Very interesting show. I am looking forward to the next season. Just goes to show that not everything in history has been recorded accurately. There are a lot of other reports of Hitler being seen after his supposed death.
This is the best show ever I would run home and drop everthing I was doing to Watch the show I am hoping and praying and begging please come out with a season two of this show
I read news stories when the FBI files about Hitler’s possible escape were opened. Because of the credibility and resume of Bob Baer, in particular, l knew I had to watch the eight-part series. I am so glad I did, because it brought to life and into the light the places I’d read about in the news and ended up showing (credibly) that Hitler’s escape was, in fact, possible and even likely. Fascinating. I hope the series continues. I loved every minute.
I love this show

I’ve read books on this before and the fact that Stalin admitted to aides that he felt that Hitler escaped should say scopes for this investigation. They covered it well but I think they should have gone into who Hitler’s double was and the fact that he disappeared..it would have made a lot more sense.Hitler completely changed he even could tolerate cigarette smoke after his Birthday celebration. I personally think that this is very possible.
I hope this continues. I agree suicide doesn’t make sense.
I think this is the best documentary series out there and in the passed years. They have credible historians and investigators. They don’t make presumptions but look for real eye witness’. This should be enough to change History books. I had watched a documentary years back that gave the probability of Hitler livibg his old age in some part of Oregan. I thought at the time that was gar fetched however with this new evidence I can’t day thats impossible. I PRAY THIS SHOW IS NOT CANCELLED.
Always had a hard time believing Hitler died at the bunker and since the Finale of the series has been aired, where will the investigation and show go ? Has it died or will this investigation continue to find the truth.
I,ve been waiting for years for somebody to expose the empty explanation of what really happened to Adolph Hitler. My Wife and I both enjoyed the series very much and hope that it will return with more episodes.
Awesome show!!!!
This show was insane there is no way Hitler died in the bunker. We are devastated this brilliant show is over! Please come back with more. The investigation was utterly brilliant we loved the team!
I love this show and yes it makes sense Hitler made it out of Germany and to Argentina. It never made sense to me that he committed suicide. He had to big an ego.
hope to see it all.. It sounds like he made it out of Germany.
Fascinating show. I hope it’s not the end of the series.
