Currently reading the books and I have to say, unlike Dan Browns books, "The GreyWolf" is very detailed and comes backed up with a whole big chapter/section listing the files and government documentation to back-up what they write.

This book uses pictures from the Berhgof and attempts to pass them off as Hitler living it up in Argentina. Fail.

That would be incorrect - in fact a complete lie. A misrepresentation of whats in the actually book - if necessary I will scan in whats actually in the book to prove this.

The book includes on page 189 TWO pictures.
The top picture is of the Berhgof in Germany - the bottom picture on the same page is a picture of the residence in Patagonia which then states "Hitlers main residence in Patagonia between 1947 and 1955.
Built in 1943, parts of Inalco are modelled on the Berhgof."

The later home to Hitler, was built in a style that Hitler was fond of and influenced by Speer.

If we're going to state whats in the book - get the contents right!

The skull indeed that was found was not Hitlers, nor is it Eva's even though the skull was from a female.
The now female skull has been found to be from an older person, one much older than Eva was at the time of her supposed death.

The writers of this book are NO Dan Brown.
They have done their homework.
This not a novel. Its not a story book.
"The Grey Wolf" published by Sterling is in fact a comprehensive methodical researched big manuscript which come with much verified evidence - as mentioned already, a lot of which is included at the back - and there is not one conclusion that is come to by one source but in order to be sure of what they wrote, they used many separate verifiable sources, much of which is also listed in detail and where its to be found by further independent assessor and readers.

He didn't get to Argentina The russians had the whole area besieged, his dog wouldn't have even got out. His last days are all well documented and widely witnessed, this book will fulfil its mission and sell well.

But it is bullhsit.

he could have got out , easy many many others did escape , some never found , even a plane was landed in the main srtip of the tiergarten park ,

quote

During the evening of 28 April von Greim and Reitsch flew out of Berlin from the same improvised airstrip in an Arado Ar 96 trainer. Von Greim was ordered to get the Luftwaffe to attack the Soviet forces that had just reached Potsdamer Platz and to make sure Heinrich Himmler was punished for his treachery in making unauthorised contact with the Western Allies.[5] Fearing that Hitler was escaping in the plane, troops of the Soviet 3rd Shock Army, which was fighting its way through the Tiergarten from the north, tried to shoot the Arado down but failed, and the plane took off successfully.[6][7]

so if they could get out , why not hitler ??? , me i think he died in berlin , but to say he could not get out is the only real bull****

you are incorrect - the rc helped Germans escape from italy to south america , they had nothing to do with them getting from Berlin - Germany or anywhere else for that matter - they had to arrive at a relgious orders residence in rome, then they were helped

and to say that the RC officially helped the Nazis escape is far from he truth keith - individuals did - but was NEVER sponsored by the church itself

but the Americans - British and Russians did help 100 times the amount of Nazis escape death than the RC ever did , but you taking a swipe at the RC - well keith you would think you have some kind of bigoted agenda ?

if your going to spew that **** at least try be factual

Just as Sadam Hussain, Gadaffi, Winston Churchill and others had body-doubles (and this is on historic record) for security reasons, Hitler had a number of them too. Some are named in the book. The one that eventually died (he didn't know his death was coming) was Gustav Weber who had been standing in for Hitler since July 20th 1944.

On page 156 the book goes into in detail how after the stoke of midnight April 28th, 1945, while the occupants of a level in the Fuhrerbunker slept, Hitler, his actual real dog (Blondi), Eva, Bormann (remember him?), Fegelein and six trusted soldiers from the SS guard battalion "Leibstandarte Adolf Hitler" slipped out through a passage in the Vorbunker and up to his private quarters in the old Reich Chancellery building.

The passage was the modern day equivalent of a passage to a safe room - only those using it that night were doing so, in the opposite direction for their own means.

It should be noted that Hermann Fegelein reportedly was shot the day after Hitler's supposed death for "desertion" - this version of events came about because Fegelein previously had left the Reich Chancellery bunker complex and was caught by one SS-Obersturmbannführer Peter Högl in his Berlin apartment on 27 April, wearing civilian clothes, carrying out preparations to do the escaping. He was carrying cash—German and foreign—and jewellery, some of which belonged to Eva Braun.
The arrest done in error, was quickly reversed and covered-up, a cover-story then explained to ensure Hitlers escape, was instigated and continued unabated.

I wonder if Hitler would have wanted to leave Berlin? The game was up, Germany defeated, the dream over.
He could have escaped - but to do what?
What would he become? A focus for those regretting the outcome of the third Reich?
Can't imagine him living quietly as an old man.
If in fact he did escape to live in South America not only would the history books have to be re-written, but also, I think, our assessment of his character.

Aenaes · 15-09-2012 02:10PM

Accounts say Bormann left the bunker with Axmann and SS doctor Stumpfegger on the night of May 1st.
Axmann says Bormann and Stumfegger were killed, although doubts surrounded his sole testimony.
In 1972, 2 bodies were uncovered a short distance away from where Axmann says the two men were killed and tests confirmed the bodies as those belonging to Bormann and Stumpfegger (although there is doubts/controversy about this, as with almost everything.)

If he left with Hitler, doesn't Bormann need a body double now aswell?

+1 Like you I'm pretty sure he died in the bunker, but the idea he couldn't have gotten out of Berlin at least isn't entirely accurate. In Hanna Reitsch's writings she mentions discussing a rescue attempt with Hans Rudel(top decorated pilot of the war). Rudel says similar in his own book. He reckoned he could have gotten in and out using a Stuka(because they were armoured and could take mad damage and keep flying and had the best brakes of the German planes so could land pretty short). I suppose he reckoned it was a goer as he had been decorated more than once because of mad crazy rescues under fire of his fellow pilots who crashed behind enemy lines, so he'd be loopy enough to try. TBH I dunno how they fitted his balls into the planes he flew. PLus HItler trusted him implicitly. Hitlers personal pilot Hans Baur was no slouch either. He stayed with hitler until he killed himself and was picked up by the soviets who were concerned hitler had done a runner.

That said unless there is one mahhooosive cover up and they all kept quiet I doubt it happened. Possible I suppose as those named were ardent Nazis and firm supporters of Hitler to the end. Then again there were plenty in the bunker who had lost faith or at least would fold under questioning, enough to let the cat outa the bag.

What does the book if anything say about them Biggins?

EchoO · 15-09-2012 02:16PM

The sensational claims have already been ridiculed by historians, including Mr Walters, who has studied Nazi Germany extensively and written a series of books about the war.
He labelled the idea that Hitler lived in South America until the 1960s as the ‘worst sort of junk history’ that relied on ‘dubious secondary sources.’
He said: 'The theory that Hitler survived rubbishes decades of research by proper historians and intelligence officers.
'The two authors should be ashamed of themselves for peddling this kind of utter nonsense. It's simply unbelievable that publishers would give them the time of day.
'It's an absolute disgrace. There's no substance to it at all. It appeals to the deluded fantasies of conspiracy theorists and has no place whatsoever in historical research.
'There have been thousands of theories over the years that Hitler might have escaped but they are nothing more than parlor games.
'The evidence that Hitler was killed in simply overwhelming. For these authors to claim otherwise is simply staggering.'
Mr Walters conceded that the authors are right in stating that the skull taken by the Russians was not that of Hitler.
He said: 'There were many people in the bunker and it takes a giant leap of the imagination to get from a museum in Russia to him living a life in Argentina.
'The idea that everybody in the bunker was in on the plan is infeasible. It just would not have happened.
'The whole point of Hitler was that he would die after the war. It was not in his psychology to carry on living in Argentina.'

The country that the main culprits ended up in, became very rich between 1943 and '45 in particular.
There are a number of reasons as to why and what the future was supposed to hold for those escaping but whatever those reasons, keep the following in mind and this is only a typical example:

Bormann was able to create 980 front companies, with 770 of those in neutral countries including 98 alone in Argentina. There were to handle many, many businesses created and/or invested in. Bormann was a financial genius (By 1945, Bormann had amassed alone, some 16 million in Swedish Kroner & 12 million in Turkish Lira)
One section of the book (with great detail and documentation provided) goes on to explain the staggering - and it is really staggering! - wealth amassed and how it was diversified later (look up "Project Eagle Flight", the acquisition of shares/equity in foreign countries).

FULL STOP.

Mr Walters doesn't bother his arse to explain many government documents (copies of which are included in the book and not refuted) which back-up the writers words.
Mr Walters quickly skips over that part - why? - maybe because for all his own previous work, he don't like the idea that a part of it concering 1945 might actually be wrong and he (and others with hurt egos) be exposed as being wrong?

The theory that Hitler survived rubbishes decades of research by proper historians and intelligence officers.

Does he mean the same or other later intelligence officers which later state in secret archives, a different version of events in detail?

'The evidence that Hitler was killed in simply overwhelming.

No its not.
The evidence that someone with the appearance of Hitler was killed is known.
The evidence of the supposed Hitler death in the bunker, has never been proved.
In fact there is question - much question over the very person who supposedly reported his supposed death.

It was not in his psychology to carry on living in Argentina.'

Right... because Mr Walters was/is now a professional headshrink.

Maybe Mr Walters would care to explain the GNP of the country rocketing during and after the later years of WW2 seeing as he's now an expert in everything!

He said: 'There were many people in the bunker and it takes a giant leap of the imagination to get from a museum in Russia to him living a life in Argentina.

Yes, there was many people in the bunker - but as Hitlers level/section was not as public thoroughfare, very few of them actually would see him.
The "Leibstandarte Adolf Hitler" were not going around telling everyone about the access Hitler had built for emergencies previously (to go from above in case of plane bombing alone) to the lower private level.

As even stated above:

Mr Walters conceded that the authors are right in stating that the skull taken by the Russians was not that of Hitler.

Good - he got something right, although I guess he admits this reluctantly - that Hitlers skull was NEVER in a museum in the first place!

Maybe Mr Walters would care to explain why the MASSIVE - MASSIVE complex business building in many countries involving billions, done over many later years, was all done at the orders of Hitler and carried out by Bormann - and then Hitler decides the equivalent of "feck that!" and just supposedly shoots himself in the head!

4zn76tysfajdxp · 15-09-2012 02:45PM

I'm no expert but apparently if Hitler survived the war and managed to escape Berlin, he would not have survived very long anyway. He was ridden with various illnesses. By the end of the war he supposedly had IBS, an increasingly-severe case of Parkinsons and his mind was rotting from neuro-syphilis. I heard somewhere that that lead to a lot of his mistakes in running his military, such as invading Russia. He was in a massive hurry to get the war won.

If Wibbs thanks this post I'll feel useful.

Pottler · 15-09-2012 03:03PM

I would not be in the least bit surprised if this were true. The Nazi's established vast networks of supporters, sympathisers and Businesses, involving huge sums of money. South America was a haven for Germans rebuilding their lives after the war and there were well established routes for those who had to leave Germany because of their actions during the war. Most walked straight into jobs with German owned Companies that were sympathetic to their situation. This is pretty much what happened with my own father but he went to the Uk. Which is a bit ironic, but at the time, Communist Russia was seen as by far the more pressing issue than dealing with thousands upon thousands of prisoners of war.
Germany after the end of WW2 was seen as an bulwark against Soviet expansion and it was in the western powers own interests to restore that Bulwark as rapidly as possible. The massive levels of technical expertise amongst the German prisoners was also not lost on the allies. The Germans are also fairly good organisers, in case anyone missed that bit, so arranging for a man that a lot of them still worshipped(fail) to be smuggled abroad and to vanish into a new life would be an easy matter, regardless of who that person was.

Hitler it appears had IBS and his later physician Dr. Otto Lehmann (who has himself written on Hitlers health (look up "Lehmann papers "). He slipped away from the Soviets in '47) and continued to supposedly look after his man and was rewarded for such.
He explains that while his boss had complaints to put it mildly, a number of them was brought about due to treatments got earlier from previous others which was wrong in use. As he puts it "the dangerous administration of drugs and substances of dubious effect".
He gave the later assistants credit for easing and in some cases, reversing some of Hitlers pains including his gastric pains.
A previous "Morrell" however had done some damage indeed which "severely poisoned tissue that could not easily recover".
With greater access to medial treatments now outside of Germany (access in the later years of 43' to 45' was much restricted for obvious reasons) and the now wealth to gain them by a number of routes (one of the many companies Borman had money in was IG Farben and its inner companies) for use, helped much improve Hitlers supposed condition later.

The above is the much short version.

Well unlike Mr. Walters who provided no evidence subsequently of what he opinionates, the many researchers (who are listed) and the two titled book authors, do indeed provide much evidence and detail this in the book.
It would be too much for me to reproduce here (would take days to type out) as its 49 pages alone in back-up text listing of evidence with sources, etc.
This does not also include other evidence including copy's of documents, photographs and photostatic copys of government material (including government interview records from USA, Russian, British intelligence agents and also those enrolled on Hitlers side) throughout the book itself.

Your still free to believe just unsubstantiated opinion.

He is still buried there in an unmarked (but known location) grave.
Previously he and others supposedly agreed not to continue the Hitler line.

That Walters guy sounds like a brused ego. He spent ages working on one idea and is refusing to even consider he might be wrong. I haven't read the book, but from this thread it sounds like it backs up its claims, something Walters didn't do in that little outburst. Just "I'm right and you're wrong!"

For what it's worth, I think Hitler did die in Germany, but I'm not opposed to believing that he managed to escape and live out his life somewhere else. Perhaps he had the idea of hiding out for a while before trying again but never got anything going again.

i did not say that - i said it was not sanctioned by the RC - and it was not

can you furnish proof that other than a certain relgious order ( name escapes me - no pun intended ) helping the nazis escape , the RC was involved ?

and while your at it - publish in tandem the number of jewish people that the RC helped save

im NO fan of the RC - but im not going to bash it for something it did not do
historically it was small groups inside the greater church that helped nazis escape - not the church itself

as for the money paid to the bishop - i assume you can prove it came directly from the RC ? or are you just saying so - because it helps your version of events

im far from naive - but im not going to bull**** to make a point either
