1945, the Soviet Red Army surrounded Berlin. Hitler was desperate, so he took his newlywed wife and shot himself in a Berlin bunker. In the end, the bodies of the two were poured with gasoline by soldiers and burned to ashes.
In the eyes of the outside world, this Nazi leader who was ambitious to conquer the world was already dead. This is an indisputable fact. However, 70 years later, a 128-year-old man in Argentina issued a statement saying that he was Hitler.
In order to prove his identity, he also took out a large amount of physical evidence to confirm his identity. He said that he had been hiding for 70 years and did not want to hide anymore.
If it is true as this old man said, he is Hitler who escaped the disaster, Then what happened to Hitler's death in 1945?
Authority of Argentine's self-report
In 2017, an elderly man from Argentina made public to the media, saying that he was Adolf Hitler, the leader of the Nazis. As soon as the news came out, it shocked the world. Many foreign media reporters rushed to Argentina overnight to interview the old man.
The old man is named Hermann Jonsberg , and lives in Salta, Argentina. When the news broke, the old man was already 128 years old.
Some people think that Herman is just sensationalism and eye-catching, but some people think that what the old man said is somewhat credible. Because he looks very similar to Hitler and is equal to his age.
But just because of the similarity, it doesn't mean anything. Seeing the doubts from the outside world, Hermann took the reporter to a warehouse not far from his home.
reporters found 75 items in the warehouse, all from Nazi Germany, with many officers' clothing and daily necessities from that time. After investigation, these things are at least something that high-ranking officials can own, but it is hard to say whether they come from this old man.
Based on these "evidence", we can at least conclude that this old man is the same age as Hitler, and is likely to be the same nationality, and looks very similar to the Nazi officer.
Hermann told reporters that he has been in exile for 70 years and is too tired to hide and doesn't want to hide anymore.
But obviously this reason is untenable. As he said, he lived to be 128 years old, and his enemies back then had already turned into loess, but is time really enough to change the temperament of a madman?
Some people speculate that he is likely to be Hitler's substitute and wants to make big news before he dies, or he is just a person who happens to look a bit like Hitler, taking advantage of this hype.
When everyone was confused, Herman's wife stood up and claimed that the elderly suffer from Alzheimer's disease , and was often insane and unable to distinguish their behavior.
The description of his wife made this matter confusing, but Hermann's wife only accompanied him for 50 years, which means that his wife knew nothing about his life in the first 70 years.
Confusing truth
Once upon a time, Europe was shrouded in the shadow of the Nazis, and this arrogant Nazi head almost flattened Europe. At the same time, he dragged the people of the world into the abyss of war.
Hitler went from a desperate man to an executioner trying to dominate the world. A few years later, his plan went to an end of destruction amid the fierce resistance of the people, and he went to a desperate alley again.
1945, Hitler failed to attack Moscow and was frantically counterattacked by the Soviet Red Army. On April 27, the Soviet Red Army surrounded Berlin, and Hitler was like a trapped beast in a cage and could no longer cause any storm.
Whether he died at the gun of the Soviet Red Army or committed suicide, Hitler chose the latter.
What was the situation in Hitler at the end of the world? His secretary, Mrs. Rong Ge, once left precious information.
Even in the face of death, Hitler wanted to maintain his last dignity and grace. He took his wife Eva Braun to say goodbye to everyone.
Eva was originally Hitler's mistress. This girl, who was several decades younger than him, was loyal to him. At the last moment, she insisted on following him to commit suicide.
Eva was wearing Hitler's favorite outfit and dressed very brightly. Hitler walked towards the basement in the room with her hand in hand.
About a few minutes later, a gunshot came from the room, hurting everyone's nerves. The whole room was filled with blood, and blood was splashed on the chairs and on the sofa.
After a long time, a strong smell of gasoline appeared in the room. Hitler's personal adjutant Otto Kyshe walked out of the room and said to everyone: I want to carry out the final order of the head of state and burn his body.
In his memory, Mrs. Rongge said that Hitler committed suicide by drinking a bullet. Before he died, he bit the poison glass sac in his mouth, and the bullet penetrated his skull from his mouth. The death was extremely terrifying. His wife Aiwa did not shoot himself, but chose to take poison.
After Hitler's death, German soldiers wrapped his and Eva's bodies with blankets, moved them to the garden, and burned them. Otto used a lot of gasoline and burned the bodies of the two people beyond recognition, leaving only bones and slags, hurriedly buried in a bomb pit.
When the Soviet Red Army broke through the Capitol building, , , he saw this situation. In order to stabilize people's hearts, Stalin made it public to the world that Hitler had shot himself.
Speculations about the wind and shadow
Stalin had doubts about Hitler's death. Not only Stalin, but many presidents of many countries, including Britain and the United States, believed that Hitler would not die so easily. They believed that the one who died must be Hitler's substitute, and the real Hitler had already secretly fled to Argentina.
was nothing more than these two voices at that time. One said that Hitler had escaped, and the other said that he died was Hitler.
Hitler suffered from Parkinson's disease symptoms. Mrs. Jung also said that when she was in the Berlin bunker, Hitler's body was very weak and almost reached the point of difficulty in walking.
When the Soviet Red Army besieged Berlin, it was impossible for Hitler to pass through the encirclement of the Soviet Red Army.
In order to confirm Hitler's death, Stalin asked someone to test the bones. Hitler's body was sent to a professional testing center, but there was no DNA test at that time. After the forensic, he could not prove Hitler's identity.
At the critical moment, the Soviet Red Army found Hitler's dentist's assistant. No one expected that one day, they would actually prove Hitler's identity through a dentist.
Dental assistant provided a medical record for the Soviet Red Army recording the information of senior German officers and their families, including the records of Hitler and Eva.
The dental clinic contains X-rays of Hitler's teeth. After comparison, it was confirmed that the x-rays of the two teeth were consistent, which proves that the body is indeed Hitler's.
But not long after, the dentist assistant suddenly turned around and said that the record at that time was fake and that the tooth was not Hitler's. The fact that was originally confirmed was overturned again.
not only denied it by the dentist assistant, but even the forensic doctor who was responsible for checking the bones at that time also concluded that the skull obtained by the Soviet Red Army did show signs of being shot, but it was a female skull, not Hitler himself.
In order to prevent the continued fermentation of things and bring bad public opinion, after the end of World War II , historians from all over the world recorded the death of Hitler in history, and this was the final conclusion.
Germany also announced the news of Hitler's death in 1955. The Nazis disappeared in Germany since then, but in the top secret archives of the Soviet Union, Hitler's ending is still a mystery.
The Soviet Red Army did not witness Hitler's death with their own eyes. The Soviet general who invaded the Berlin bunker claimed that Hitler's body was not found at the scene, so it was impossible to rule out that Hitler had already escaped.
Although in the record, Hitler's life stayed in 1945, he had never stopped pursuing his traces. Western countries surfacely admitted that Hitler was dead, and secretly, they had already sent people to Argentina to pursue the truth.
Many Western scholars believe that Hitler pretended to die, and the one who died was a substitute, which is also the reason why the corpse was burned. In order to confuse the public, they deliberately mixed the remains and other corpses to burn them.
Among these burnt corpses, the forensic doctor identified that these people died of cyanide poisoning , while the bodies suspected of Hitler and Eva were left with cyanide residues found in the mouth, which also shows that the cyanide in the mouth of the body was later placed to forge the truth that they were poisoned.
According to Mrs. Rongge's recollection, Hitler committed suicide by drinking and biting the poison in his mouth before his death, but the body found could not match. No wonder Western scholars are resentful of Hitler's death.
Argentina suspicion
Since the 1960s, the tracking of Hitler has been continuing. During this period, many scholars have been traveling to Argentina one after another to pursue Hitler's traces.
British journalist Gerald Williams is one of them. He was very interested in Hitler. He did not believe what history books said that Hitler died in a Berlin bunker. In order to investigate the truth, he and his colleague Simon Dunstan went to Argentina, South America many times to conduct research.
After Germany was defeated, many Nazi officers fled to Argentina. After arriving in Argentina, Williams asked many local residents along the way, and they had unexpected gains.
Many old residents claimed that they met someone who looked exactly like Hitler in the local area, and there was a beautiful girl next to her. Based on the evidence collected, Williams inferred that this was very likely Hitler and Eva.
Williams wanted these residents to come out to testify, but the residents refused. They told Williams that they had also received many threat letters from unknown sources.
Williams traveled to and from Argentina many times. He claimed there was evidence that Hitler lived in Argentina for 17 years, died in 1962, and had two daughters with Eva.
After returning to the UK, Williams and Dunstan recorded all the things they saw and heard in Argentina and wrote them into the book "Gray Wolf: Adolf Hitler's Escape".
As soon as the book was published, it was sold out in the British market. People were still highly curious about the Nazi head. Many scholars think that Williams's words were too sensational, but some people still believe this statement.
British Sky TV also interviewed Williams because of this incident. Williams said in the interview: There is no medical evidence that Hitler or Eva died in a Berlin bunker, but many witnesses’ stories about Hitler’s life in Argentina are very convincing.
The witnesses mentioned by Williams, in addition to local residents, also include local lawyers and workers in Argentina, but what they said was slightly different from Williams.
A worker from Argentina said that he worked in the Patagonia region between 1953 and 1954, during which time he had seen Hitler appear in this area many times.
In 1987, an Argentine lawyer told the media that Hitler died in the Patagonia region of Argentina, and he also knew about Hitler's bone burial place.
Another Argentine journalist said that his family had met Hitler in the Barrilochi area, and there were many Nazi officers around him at that time, who had been hiding at the Incarco Farm in Barrilochi.
The statements of these people are surprisingly consistent, and they all prove that Hitler fled to Argentina. The only different statement is that is the year when Hitler died. Some say he died in 1957, and some say he died in 1960.
These messages are too shocking. After the news was exposed, many people intervened to suppress the messages, hoping to minimize the impact.
As time goes by, Hitler's clues have become less important to people, and their era has passed.
Originally, this incident was gradually being taken by people, but after the collapse of , many top-secret files were leaked, one of which was about Hitler back then. The
file clearly shows that there is insufficient evidence of Hitler's death and is temporarily doubtful. What was originally a foregone conclusion was re-regarded by people because of the words of the Soviet documents.
Many interested scholars have also begun to study the truth about Hitler's death openly.
In 2010, Argentina's well-known journalist Abel Basti published the book "He Deceived the World: The Mystery of Hitler's Death".
In 2012, the book "Gray Wolf: Adolf Hitler's Escape" was made into a documentary, and Hitler's death also became one of the unsolved cases in history books.
In 2017, Hermann Jonsberg claimed to the media that he was Hitler. After comparing the photos of the two, netizens found that except for their noses, their other facial features are indeed highly similar.
After Hermann became popular, many people stood up to question. Judging from Hitler's physical condition, can he really live to 128 years old? In terms of physical conditions, Hermann could not be Hitler.
Hermann claimed to be 128 years old and was in a tough state, but according to statistics from relevant world organizations, there are very few people who can live to their 120s, and this probability may be lower than that of Hitler.
Strangely, after the old man claimed that he was Hitler, there was no relevant follow-up, and the old man gradually faded out of people's sight.
Before this, Herman's family had come forward to clarify that the old man was talking nonsense because he was sick.
Whether the old man said true or false is true or not, we don’t know what connection he has with the Nazis is also a mystery.
There are often such mysteries in history. This is the cruelty of history and the most attractive thing in history.
