Showing Original Post only (View all)Conspiracy Theorist Argues That Hitler Escaped to Argentina [View all]
According to a new book by prolific conspiracy theorist Jerome Corsi, the Fuhrer didnt commit suicide but instead escaped Berlin with the help of the U.S. government.
Jerome R. Corsi is a bona fide conspiracy theorist. Since 2004s Unfit for Command, the New York Times best-selling--and widely denounced--takedown of then-presidential candidate John Kerry, Corsi has churned out a constant stream of articles and books pushing unsubstantiated ideas on everything from the origin of oil to the U.S.s role in 9/11 to Barack Obamas nationality--all the while waving his Harvard PhD. as some kind of evidence that hes not a complete and utter wingnut.
Corsis latest hypothesis, detailed in his new book Hunting Hitler, is that the German dictator didnt actually kill himself alongside wife Eva Braun in his Berlin bunker as history books would have us believe. According to Corsi, Hitler actually escaped Germany as the Third Reich fell, and he did it with the help of none other than the U.S. government.
Corsis argument is that theres no real proof Hitler didnt escape. The world has long been willing to accept the idea that Hitler shot himself while Braun took cyanide, but where is the photographic evidence? The worlds most notorious genocidal maniac shot himself in a private bunker and no one took pictures? Corsi doesnt buy it.
What really solidified Corsis suspicions, however, was the fact that, in 2009, an American archaeologist examined skull fragments long pointed to as proof of Hitlers suicide by the Russian Federation State Archive, and found that they didnt belong to Hitler at all. Then there were alleged doubts from both Stalin and Eisenhower about Hitlers death. And the U.S.s inability to obtain any of the Fuhrers physical remains. And the absence of any testimony from witnesses who heard the shots from the bunker. All this led Corsi to conclude that U.S. intelligence agents, including Allen Dulles, who later became director of the CIA, helped Hitler and Braun escape to Argentina. There, Corsi claims, the two retired peacefully in a mansion built by German expats hidden by the Bariloche forests.
