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?
Great show! Looking forward to second season.
I love this show. makes way more sense than he died in the bunker.where was the proof. hope it continues, the hunters are great!
Love love love this show, I never have believed Hitler died in that bunker.PLEASE tell me the 8 part series was such a hit that this will be a staple on History Channel and there will be follow up seasons!!!
Great show! My kids are as interested in watching as I am and each viewing has become a family event. We hope there is a season 2!
Love it!My family got out of Germany and the area just before wwI. i wonder how and why all these things were not double checked. The show brings up things I often wondered about myself. The no body of Hitler was one of them. PLEASE let there be more of this series as I enjoy it very much!
Will there ever a second season?
I heard rumors in Southampton in the 80’s from navy personnel that the Belgrano was sunk on Mrs Thatchers orders. Basically the Nazis were behind the Argentinian invasion & it may seem crazy but Hitler may have been on board the ship, hence it had to be sunk?
When does season 2 begin?
There has got to be a season 2, this is THE BEST series on tv. I look forward to each episode. My father was hunting Nazis there after the war in 46,47 I wish he were alive to have seen this. Bring on season 2!!
I also think this is the best series on tv. My father flew bomber support in Germany during the war. His friend was a POW in Germany and is alive and kicking today at close to 100! Watching this with my dad would’ve been awesome! I hope they have a season 2
I agree, best show I’ve seen in years. So interesting. Oak island is the worst waste of time!
Bring on season two. They can’t let us hanging!
Love this show will there be more????
Best series of 2015!!
Wonderful, provocative series. Best show I’ve watched on TV in a very long time. Anxious for season 2.
Good drama… Whole episodes revolve round FBI files. If this true then what FBI did in 1950’s and 60’s to locate him???
I LOVE this show, I always beloved hitler never died in that bunker. I mean a man with so much power would not shoot himself in the head he has a high ego to do that.
Very interesting show. Can’t wait to see more….. Hope season 2 is around the corner. Does anyone know when it airs?
