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?
when we are going to see more episodes of “HUNTIN HITLER”…..waiting eagerly!!!!!
Just finished watching season 1 with my wife for the second time. I started watching it and couldn’t stop watching. So then my wife wanted to see it and I enjoyed it all again. SO YES SEASON 2,3,4 WHO KNOWS It’s really enjoyable, I really enjoyed seeing the back roads of South America, the small towns and the history. The huge concrete torpedo base on the Carney Islands was awesome as well as the concrete tunnels under Berlin Makes me wonder How come no one has documented this until now. I think there’s more see in South American, Berlin, Spain… Read more »
I hope there will be a Season 2 of Hunting Hitler. My husband and I really enjoyed this program.
Here’s what I don’t get: 1. At home of relative of Eva Braun’s, cast member speaks to family relative. Of course it’s a show however you can hear some of the audio. He really doesn’t do a good job of selling himself and the need for their cooperation in assisting the investigation and their DNA sample would end future intrusions and help the world heal! I also think a smaller German woman, professionally dress in proper business attire would have been more effective and less threatening than the male cast member, in civies and his back pak. 2. Since the… Read more »
I think the investigation team are doing a fantastic job. I can’t wait for the team to continue their great work. There is no question in my mind that Hitler escaped and lived for many more years. Let’s find out where Hitler really died!!!
There a lot of questions; but no answers. Wonder why no one will respond to everyone’s interest!
Please tell me there well be a second season? The trail continues and we need to see more of it.
What happened to episode 9 of season 1
Season 1 was only 8 episodes
charter dropped “hunting Hitler” with no warning. Can I watch the last segments somewhere ?
I was disappointed with the finale and the entire story. The show ONLY followed what the United States already knew and documented. You have high tech word search linking software but nothing else.
WHEN IS HISTORY GOING TO PRODUCE A SHOW WITH RESULTS/
I can’t wait for the second part.
I’m such a history buff and absolutely love hunting Hitler
I love this show and have told many of my friends to watch it. Can’t wait for season 2. I must know if there was a definitive conclusion to the investigation!
Has Hunting Hitler been Canceled?
WELL …HAS IT BEEN CANCELED?
I love the show! Please have a 2nd season!
Best TVs show in ages please, please make another series, just love it.
I’ve been waiting for this show as much as “The Man in the High Castle” on Amazon. Theories and possibilities of the end of World War 2 are so intriguing! This show is definitely at the top of the list!
