Series Description: An FBI cold case, kept secret for over 70 years sends an international team of world renown investigators on the ultimate manhunt in search of justice and to finally answer the question: Did Adolf Hitler survive WWII?
In early 2014, the FBI declassified hundreds of pages of top secret documents proving that top officials in the U.S. Government not only believed that Hitler escaped Germany, but were also secretly spending millions of dollars trying to track him down. A memo from J. Edgar Hoover himself 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.”
With these newly released FBI files as their guide, the team will approach this investigation in the hopes of solving the mystery surrounding the demise of one of the biggest criminals of all time. Whether they are investigating a mysterious Nazi lair deep in the Argentinian jungle or diving for evidence of a missing U-Boat that could of shuttled Hitler to South America, our team will focus on the tried and tested tactics for solving a fraudulent death case: follow the money, where was the subject last seen, eyewitness reports, make contact with known associates, and forensics.
Armed with new clues and cutting edge technology, this crack team of investigators will uncover what Hitler’s movements could have been after the fall of the Nazi Empire. [History]

Alan says
i hope that there is a second season too.
Smitje says
We need season 2
For de truth in the history books.
Sandra says
Please History, you HAVE to renew!! You’re HIstory Channel: certainly you cannot live with history/stories being untold or told the wrong way?!?!? This is probably the most interesting series on tv and the most important historical story to be told!
fred says
Somebody does not want the story told. Obviously, there is a following to see Season 2. Where did Hitler end up. The man cannot be alive. How bad could exposing the truth be? Well…maybe it could be embarrassing. But be the history channel and investigate and see where it leads.
George Gallagher says
The older members of the Bush clan and old friends would prefer this goes away….
TCM says
I certainly hope this show will not be renewed. It lost all credibility when in an early episode Bob Baer says, “what they saw was a body come out of the bunker wrapped in a blanket;” and “there is no evidence that Hitler died in Berlin.” These are totally false statements, and would have to be deliberate, because anyone who has even casually looked into this matter is aware of several witnesses who stated that they saw Hitler and Eva Braun, their faces uncovered, dead, in Berlin on April 30 1945. Apparently the “team” couldn’t figure out how to explain away this evidence, so they decided to ignore it. This sort of deliberate fudging of the historical record has no place on a channel which bears the name History. So far, the show has presented absolutely zero credible evidence for their escape to Argentina theory, which actually, is not a new theory at all.
JR says
THERE IS ZERO EVIDENCE PROVING WITHOUT A REASONABLE DOUBT HITLER DIED PERIOD!! The skull has already been proven not to be that of Hitler or Braun… All you idiots believe the Nazis? They wil die for their cause and lie to make sure he gets away, are you seriously going to believe the Nazis? LMAO So Mr. Nazi where did you hide your nuclear weapons and your most top secret stuff… Ya think they will tell you?? EVIDENCE… Zero to prove Hitler died in that Bunker, heaps to follow him to South America… BASIC Detective work.
This proves to be a FASCINATING example of how History literally gets written with NO ONE ever questioning the facts, or even bother to ask basic questions or even look hard at the evidence… BAM next thing you now its Official Fact he died in a bunker NO one looks into it (except the FBI thank God!) The Gov’ts know this and they use it time and time again because people are stupid and will BELIEVE ANYTHING the Gov’t and the Official papers say… then truth becomes the conspiracy.
You have got to do season 2… it was getting so da&^ good… Even as a child I understood how smart this guy was and bam convenient death/ending with no information out, I don’t think so. He was ruthless and horrible but no idiot..
SEASON 2!!
TCM says
Sorry, I do not feel that I a an idiot. Am a retired trial lawyer ad an historian who has spent a lot of time investigating this subject. Yes, the witnesses were Nazis, but any first year law student will tell you, quite correctly, that your objections go to the weight of the evidence and not its admissibility. I ask you, what evidence to the contrary has this show presented? Conjecture and speculation Bottom line, they never get Hitler out of the bunker. And, all capitalized? You are yelling a complete falsehood. Do you even know the standard for proof beyond a reasonable doubt? Somehow I doubt it.
George Thompson says
While watching the entire series, I don’t think this program has definitively stated that Hitler actually escaped Berlin. Rather, they have stated based on information obtained through the release of official FBI documents, that even the FBI was not convinced he died in the bunker. Therefore, their claim is…is it possible that Hitler escaped to South America? There’s certainly compelling enough information that makes you wonder whether or not he did. Hitler was such an ego maniac I find it hard to believe that he would commit suicide rather than develop some sophisticated plan to escape in the event that Berlin would fall. Let’s be honest, he knew Berlin would fall well before it ever did. Nonetheless, it’s an interesting series that I hope is renewed.
Tracie says
I don’t think the man was ready to just kill himself, he was to greedy for power to just give up…he made plans way before the war was over to escape in the event that he was not going to rule the world anymore. This man was cunning, smart, greedy, and horribly demented. This was not a man to give up easily. To say he died in that bunker, which there is no proof of at all, is to say he was a coward and based on the things he accomplished and set out to do it makes no sense he would have just killed himself. It’s not his profile or his character, this man was to hungry for power to ever give up…he was criminally insane, and had no intentions of giving up. History has been told over and over and alot has been disputed, christopher Columbus for instance. He was not the founder of the new world period. So with that I say things are not always black and white.
Addy Lupus says
If you really were a retirded lawyer ad, you would prolly know how to spell… this TV show isn’t a court room, it is a contradiction to official government reports and to the thousands of cover stories we’ve been spoon-fed for dozens of years. I haven’t fact checked any of their “evidence” but I’m entertained by the premise. Yes please renew Hunting Hitler for season 2!
Cody says
Hmm..go figure….an Esquire protecting his own…private corporate club..maritime law, AshkeNAZI Jewish elite CABAL…
Zack says
This reply alone tells me that you didn’t even bother to watch the show before making a statement about how it should t be renewed, they go over the witness’s info and also find witnesses that are still alive that places him in South America ! So you going to believe one witness who is a nazi over a unbiased South American ?
Want more history says
I totally agree with your statements. Several Nazis did escape. Look at operation Paperclip. Nobody would have ever thought that an ex Nazi aided the United States in landing on the Moon. I’m not sure one way or another as to Hitler escaping Berlin at the end of April 1945. I’m not convinced that the bodies wrapped in blankets were Hitler and Eva. Why would Stalin have gone to his grave believing Hitler had survived had there not atleast been a remote chance that he did in fact get out alive. After all it was the Russians who claimed to have the Skull fragments that turned out to be bogus.
People love unsolved mysteries, please air season 2. I can guarantee more viewers will watch than they did season 1. This is much more interesting than truck drivers driving across frozen lakes in Alaska, which has nothing to do with History.
Roger Clark says
JR … You are wrong … …I have published a critical review of the History Channel’s series “Hunting Hitler”. It’s called THE BIG READ: CARRY ON HUNTING HITLER … People can find it on this website:-

———————————————————————————-
Both these articles are long and detailed. I fear people, such as you, will ignore them. But I do urge you – for the sake of your reputation and credibility – to read these articles. You are on the wrong side of this argument and are damaging yourself by defending these wretched programs..
Fush Yumeng says
Yes, there IS that he died in Berlin. Hitler’s dentist was captured after the war by the Americans. Two of his dental techs were captured by the Russians. Each independently reconstructed the details of Hitler’s dental work from memory. Their reconstructions meshed completely, and they fit with the details of the dental work on the jaw fragments attributed to Hitler AND to the skull X-rays taken of him by his doctor after the July 20 bomb attempt. Bottom line, there is solid forensic proof beyond a reasonable doubt that Hitler died in Berlin.

plumdog says
I take it you can’t remove teeth? What is it dentists do again? And if it’s Hitler’s dentists records I’m guessing they cant be switched with the poor sod they used as a body dummy. This is 1945 in Hitler’s Nazi land you do what they want or your dead and if you talk about any of it and your family is to. People are still afraid to talk about it now. Let’s just let that sink in for a moment, that’s the terror he struck into people which still affects people now. The man came from a military background knowing full well you always have a exit strategy even if you don’t need it, to assume anything else is fool hardy.
Fush Yumeng says
It is for all intents and purposes impossible to replicate the dental features of one person in the mouth of another. The number, size, position and condition of all of the teeth are impossible to duplicate, especially without leaving a sign of what was done. Just pulling teeth isn’t going to work .And the details of the dental hardware and their installation are also pretty much impossible to replicate. Hitler had some very distinctive work done. Dr. Blaschke was captured by the Americans, techs Kathe Heusemann and Fritz Echtmann were captured by the Russians. Each reconstructed the details of his dental history, and they matched completely. Bear in mind that neither side told the other what they had. If there were any errors or fabrications in the reconstructions they wouldn’t have matched as they did because they were completely separate. And the photos of the jaw remnants from the autopsy fit with the reconstructions. For example the photos show a cut mark on the jaw corresponding to a spot where Dr. Blaschke cut away bridgework and bone to deal with an infection. Do you really think that a detail like that would have been replicated on a double? And all of this was compared to verified validated X-rays of Hitler’s skull taken by Dr. Theodor Morell in 1944, X-rays Blaschke likely didn’t have access to and wouldn’t even know about. It’s the TOTALITY of the evidence and how it all fits together which confirm his death beyond a reasonable doubt. Read the exam report I linked to and dispute it IF you can.
LK says
The several witnesses you refer to were all Nazi’s and SS, e.g. Heinz Linge, Otto Gunsche. Then apparently, as per Hitler’s final wishes, they carried the bodies upstairs and cremated them. No witnesses, other than those of Nazi’s and SS, saw the bodies and definitively confirmed the identity. The Soviets later recovered the burnt remains. The German court later declared Hitler dead but not until 1956. So you accept, without question, the word of Nazi’s? You don’t think the SS would have had a motive to provide disinformation and one of the world’s most powerful leaders at the time would not have had a contingency plan should the worst happen? Moreover, the skull fragments the Soviet’s had from the bunker were later tested by an American anthropologist and determined to be neither Hitler or Eva Braun. Not saying he didn’t die in the bunker, but in light of some new documents and information it would be irresponsible to not question it and look into further. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1216455/Hitlers-skull-really-womans-Fresh-doubts-death-tests-bullet-hole.html
TCM says
Absolutely true, the witnesses were SS and Nazis. No, I do not accept what they said without question, but again, your objection goes to weight, not admissibility. On the contrary, what “evidence,” and I mean legally admissible evidence, has this show produced. The answer is NONE. So, you have statements by Nazis who were there (admissible) versus hearsay statements and conjecture by people who were not there (inadmissible), guess who wins in court?
Al says
You do realize that this isn’t a court of a law do you not?
George Thompson says
Exactly, no one is on trial. Even if this was a court of law, based on the FBI documents released in 2014, there certainly appears to be a reasonable doubt based on the statements, documents and eye witness accounts after Hitler’s supposed suicide in the bunker.
The U.S. was certainly interested in German rocket technology developed by German scientists. Some think that Hitler actually made a deal with the U.S. to allow him to escape in exchange for access to Germany’s rocket technology and the scientists that developed it. It seems plausible to me that Hitler could have escaped and made his way to South America.
name here says
tcm so you admit you believe in the words a nazi would say who everyone knows covered up their crimes what about the female skull with a bullet in her head eva didnt shoot herself supposedly she took poison, where’s your proof other than a lying nazi
Theo says
You make a good point about the admissibility of evidence in a court of law, However, lawyers are more concerned with winning their case as opposed to uncovering the truth. I do not detect any inquisitiveness on your part.
Brooks says
Hitler & Eva had “doubles” – no doubt any faces seen were “doubles”.
Bill says
Certainly TCM your “facts” are even more vague than what we have been told all these years regarding Hitlers death. Yes some “people” said they “saw” Hitler dead…some “saw” Hitlers burned remains…then of course where are his remains? My father was part of an investigation team who went looking for Nazis including Hitler, in South America particularly in Argentina and Brazil. My father was a P-47 pilot during the WWII. When the war ended he was assigned to the Panama Canal Zone 6th Army Air Corp. Toward the end of 1945 while in the 6th AAC, they were on sub-search for U-boats to south america. From then thru 1947 they searched in uniform and out of uniform on foot in different cities looking for Nazis who fled Germany. Hitler was the list. While in uniform they were given non-com ranks. So no our govt was not convinced Hitler died in Germany. Maybe you should practice not believing everything you read/are told and only half of what you see.
Fush Yumeng says

Paul says
You don’t like the show, don’t watch it!
Hayden says
Apparently you also are not considering the WHAT IF factor here. The series is good because it uses REAL facts from FBI files.
name here says
there was lots of credible evidence, nazi’s covered up their crimes or at least tried, technology is better now than it was than, where are the dental records saying it was in fact hitler’s body that was burned show me those records and maybe ill believe he really did die goverments keep secrets from their citizens nazi germany would have lied to protect their cowardly leader you nazi lover, either way it doesnt matter anymore cause he’s dead by now anyway but it would be nice to know if he escaped or lived
Joe says
Well I guess they can’t be wrong! How many of those “witnesses” were from the Nazi party, how credible were those witnesses how many look a likes did he have,I know Sadam Hussein didn’t have any look alikes either. This is a very powerful man with endless money all their trying to do is prove 100% that’s him all they need is DNA and no ones come up with that DNA so far. Why would the US spend MILLIONS of dollars trying to find him if they thought he was really dead I suppose all they needed to do was look at him.
fred says
People do not put the pieces together. Hitler knew the bomb was coming for him. He ended the war and saved the German people. Everybody knows the bomb was made for Germany. Later it was dropped on Japan. So why couldn’t Hitler have gotten away. I was a kid of the 50’s and people at that time said that Hitler got away. It is no secret. Many say that the facts do not add up. As for aliens and bigfoot, it those topics are ok, then why not look into Hitler. So from the possible to the incredible, the topic is not taboo. Run the second series.
Roger Clark says
TMC … You are right. This series is an outrage. Just because something is possible is no proof that it happened. Time after time the investigative team fail time to prove Hitler escaped to South America. This series is just one shaggy-dog story after another. Hitler died in Berlin in 1945. He never escaped.
What’s so depressing about many Hitler survivalists and their supporters is their failure to do any serious reading. Hence they spout nonsense. The “Hunting Hitler” series is a disgrace – shoddily researched and defamatory. The programs smear serious historians and institutions that have spent decades investigating Hitler’s death and encourage the half-educated to dismiss expertise. These programs accuse thousands of experts of ‘lying’ – deliberately falsifying history. That is a monstrous accusation.
I think there should be a public inquiry into the History Channel’s activities. They are misleading millions of viewers worldwide. It’s time for heads to roll at the HC. We need a GCO – a Grand Clear out. The HC needs to employ a new editorial team and presenters who really know about history, not broadcast conspiracy theory junk. To defame people and organisations of integrity – as they have done in this series – is intolerable.
I have published a long critical review on this series. It’s called THE BIG READ: CARRY ON HUNTING HITLER … People can find it on this website:-
The Pipeline – where history is tomorrow’s news
http://thepipeline.info/blog/2016/04/30/the-big-read-carry-on-hunting-hitler/
Those who believe “Hunting Hitler” is a great show have been fooled. My article explains how this outrage happened. There must be no second series.
James says
Just because 3 people say they witnessed Hitler dead, they then burned his body supposedly. Why would they do that? (Implies a coverup). They would have been so proud to have killed Hitler after discovering Auchwitz that common sense would be to post his dead body and face to every newspaper published at the time. So why burn the body? Also, Hitler had so much money, how do we know these “witnesses” were not paid off? The other interesting thing is the skull that was saved that was apparently Hitlers’ was proven to belong to a female. There are a plenty of strange circumstances surrounding his death that leave questions of doubt. Can’t always trust the history books. We’re you there?
Fush Yumeng says
The bodies were burned at his request. Hitler saw what happened to Mussolini and his mistress and wanted to avoid their fate. He died in Berlin. Hitler’s dentist was captured after the war by the Americans. Two of his dental techs were captured by the Russians. Each independently reconstructed the details of Hitler’s dental work from memory. Their reconstructions meshed completely, and they fit with the details of the dental work on the jaw fragments attributed to Hitler AND to the skull X-rays taken of him by his doctor after the July 20 bomb attempt.

Scott says
4 ardent Nazis claimed to have had a close look at the bodies of Hitler and Braun, and participated in the disposal of the bodies. Those 3 witness disappeared or were reported killed in the next few days. The remaining ‘witnesses’ got a glimpse of bodies who appeared to be Hitler and Braun from a doorway, or saw the covered bodies being carried out. Josef Stalin and J. Edgar Hoover both believed that Hitler did not die in the bunker. There is no hard evidence either way that Hitler died, or that he escaped. The search for that evidence is intriguing. The hard core believers, and hard core disbelievers both need to relax.
George says
I agree, this series is fascinating. I knew that quite a few Nazis escaped Europe and made it to South America after WWII but everyone accepted the story that Hitler committed suicide. After watching this series I now believe he escaped Germany and made it to Argentina. It was also interesting to learn of the aid Franco provided for his escape and the use of the Canary Islands as an escape route.
Excellent series History Channel please bring it back for a season 2.
TCM says
I am curious; exactly what “evidence” did this show present that convinced you Hitler survived, and have you looked at the overwhelming evidence to the contrary?
Rich says
How about an eye witness at the church. He said when he was 18 helping build the tunnels. He saw with his own eyes Hitler
George Thompson says
According to documented accounts, several high ranking officials in the Nazi party were flown out of Berlin 10-days before Hitler’s alleged suicide. On one of those flights, Hitlers personal property was flown out and the pilot was a female pilot known to have flown out these officials. In addition, there were eye witness accounts of seeing Hitler in Spain at a Catholic Monastery roughly 7-10 days after his “suicide.” These were eye witness accounts of two men that worked at the monastery when they were 15 and 17 now 85 and 87 years old.
CyrusAres says
You should be familiar with the totality of circumstances. If the producers of this show were defense attorneys this would be a great “smoke screen” tactic. If they were prosecutors I think this could be a good circumstantial case. The investigators are merely following the money trail and speaking with many witnesses who have come forward. I agree, some moments in the show seemed made up… but not nearly as much as most of the “reality” shows out these days. The Nazi witnesses have told several different stories about the alleged “last moments” of Hitler in the bunker. I do not believe their testimony would stand up in court. I personally do not feel Hitler, like most evil leaders in recent years, would have killed himself. Saddam, Qaddafi etc.
This is an interesting show. If there were a vast cover-up, we would be hard pressed to uncover the whole thing so many years later. What this show does do is show how many American companies helped the wrong side in the second world war and what companies still exist. If most of this information were to be true, everything we have learned to this point about history would be one big lie.
name here says
tcm where’s your evidence all you have is witnesses saying they saw is dead body guess what we have witnesses saying they say is alive body in south america, hitler was mad with power but not stupid he knew was losing the war you really think he didnt have slaves build him a escape tunnel when he had many tunnels already built by slaves he had the manpower(slaves) to build his escape tunnel if he didnt kill himself. its really not that far of a stretch to say the nazis lied to us by saying he died of course they would say that
Roger Clark says
Okay George consider this … “Hunting Hitler” is part of a flourishing Hitler survival industry. All Hitler survival theories cannot be true since they contradict one another. But all Hitler survival theories can be untrue – and are. Their advocates can produce only rumours and hearsay. They disagree about how and when Hitler escaped from Berlin, how he travelled abroad, where he lived, what he did, and how, when and where he died.
Survivalists have failed to produce any convincing photos of Hitler alive after 30 April 1945 when he committed suicide in the Berlin bunker. Nor have they produced any convincing documents. Hitler said he was going to write his memoirs when he retired. Where are they? Indeed, can anyone produce any documents written by Hitler in exile? Did anyone ever have a coherent conversation with Hitler after 20 April 1945?
So I challenge you George – and all the other people on this site who have fallen for the false information peddled ln this bogus TV series – to produce proper evidence that Hitler survived. Go on – do it.
SMN says
Hey, asshole……you would have probably thought Jim Jones an expert and drank the kool aid like all the other morons! You’re a fucking idiot!
Todd says
I had no idea that parts of South America were so infested with Nazi’s. Wow, a little Germany. Highly entertaining, and would really hope there is a season two, or at least some finality to their work, one way, or the other. Great show!
Vicki says
Please give me a 2nd season, I’d like to see where this all goes. Don’t STOP NOW!!
JC Penn says
I would like to see this show renewed simply to tell more of the stories about Nazi’s in Argentina and Spain. Like anther poster, I knew that some Nazi’s had escaped to Argentina, but I had no idea that it was such a hot topic for some Argentinian’s even today. To be honest, whether or not Hitler made it out of Berlin is kind of irrelevant in my opinion. I realize tracking him down is the main point of the show, but all the other bits of historical information they are discovering along the way is fascinating in it’s own right.
name here says
jc penn exactly either way he’s dead now he’d be well over 100 if he were alive now would be nice to know the truth with all the evidence they discovering
Debi says
Show was fascinating! I learned so much. Please make a season 2. Was amazed at the pharmacy that was found in the jungle hide out. Can you do more with that or tracking DNA of distant relatives?
Ron says
Great Series ! Please Renew season 2 And I will watch it all , Can’t Wait, Ron
Cecile says
Great series! Hope it gets renewed. As for the sceptics out there, if you were to keep an open mind you have to admit there are a lot of coincidences brought to light by this team. Hitler was a narcicist that pursued ultimate power. Do you honestly believe that a man with his smarts, obsession with power, money, resources and contacts wouldn’t save his a$$? In my opinion I can’t see a man like that killing himself in a manner that would allow enemies to easily find him and be seen as “defeated” to the world. He just had someone else killed in his place – that much was proven by DNA science.
Roger Clark says
Cecil … Please do some reading. You will then understand Hitler’s psychology better than you do. No serious historian, or historical institution, believes Hitler survived WW2. Please read my other posts on this site for more information. In the meantime I have published a long critical review of the “Hunting Hitler” series. It’s called THE BIG READ: CARRY ON HUNTING HITLER … People can find it on this website:-

Jay says
I was impressed that Bob Baer was able to orchestrate all the days of investigative steps and stops without changing his shirt.
Brooks says
Fascinating show! Bob Baer & Company most certainly presentes a plausible case for Hitler’s long-rumored escape from Berlin. The New Schwabenland settlement, alleged to exist in Antarctica, would be an exciting continuation of the hunt for Hitler.
paul williams says
fascinating show..PLEZZZ RENEW
Shaun L says
Yes please have a second series, or perhaps a spin off series exploring the remains of Nazism in Spain and Argentina, and can we please have less of the obvious reconstructions of the investigation, special forces using a bright red boat to cross a lake and “try” to avoid detection, and then running around an island with a red torch, filmed with a night vision camera, give me a break, the idea for the show is great, the execution is terrible and at time laughable. Do I believe Hitler died in the bunker, no I dont, I believe he escaped, but do I believed he survived a journey across the Atlantic in a U-boat, crawling through miles of tunnels, and travelling across South America and spending time in an almost in accessible jungle hideaway, no I dont, he would not have survived the journey, he was an incredibly ill, frail man (56 years old in 1945. Hitler suffered from irritable bowel syndrome, skin lesions, irregular heartbeat, coronary sclerosis,Parkinson’s disease, syphilis, he was a strict vegetarian and he regularly consumed meth-amphetamine, barbiturates, opiates, and cocaine).
Basically he was on his last legs and needed almost constant medical supervision, he was also paranoid, and possibly a borderline schizophrenic, the journey would have been difficult enough for someone in perfect health. However his ill health is hardly mentioned, apart from the odd passing comment.
TyroneShoelaces says
Look, the chances of anything truly meaningful resulting form this investigation are minimal, but if you’re a WWII history buff, it’s absolutely fascinating. And let’s face it, for the sake argument, there exists zero forensic evidence of Hitler’s demise in 1945. I, for one, am willing to stay the course and see what develops. A second season is more than warranted. Would you rather watch this, or some totally ginned up dreck like “The Real Housewives or Atlanta” or “Dancing With The Stars”?
Fush Yumeng says
Yes, there IS solid forensic proof that he died in Berlin. Hitler’s dentist was captured after the war by the Americans. Two of his dental techs were captured by the Russians. Each independently reconstructed the details of Hitler’s dental work from memory. Their reconstructions meshed completely, and they fit with the details of the dental work on the jaw fragments attributed to Hitler AND to the skull X-rays taken of him by his doctor after the July 20 bomb attempt.

For the retired lawyer who argues what is admissible in court and what is not. About the Nazi witnesses that you claim are the most credible because they are admissible witness. There are plenty of people who have been released from prison by DNA but originally were convicted due to admissible witnesses who lied or were mistaken. The possibility remains that he may have escaped and I’m sure he had an escape plan in place. My only question is if the FBI knew this much, why didn’t they go get him?
Hayden says
They most likely did, the just did not want to shock the world.
name here says
not only that but technology was not as advanced as it is today
Kristof Stevenson says
I need to know the truth, but i wish the lining of questioning and the wild jumping to conclusions of season 1 was lessened.
For example, in one episode they are talking about how long it would take for a U-Boat to get from Spain to Argentina, but then they say that the FBI files placed hitler there shortly after the end of WW2. You have to show us a timeline and it has to fit!
CMS says
To the lawyer with the ridiculous comments, you should know that biased witness testimony does not make a conclusive case. Far from it. There’s ZERO forensic evidence that Hitler died in that bunker and it was well known that both he and Eva had body doubles. The remains taken from that bunker were tested and DNA proved that they were neither Hitler or Eva. Your case just fell apart – if this were a trial, you’d be screwed. Don’t be a sheep and blindly believe what you read. You say you’re a historian who has studied this subject extensively. Yet looking at it critically, with a JD in your pocket, the fact that you can’t see why people question the validity of the bunker/suicide story makes me think you weren’t a great trial lawyer. I’d put phychologists up on the stand who would testify that a brilliant narcissist like Hitler would never kill himself as the allies closed in. Nothing about the bunker story fits what we know about Hitler. There’s no hard evidence that he killed himself in Berlin. The fact that the FBI and US military continued to search for him shows they knew back then that he didn’t die in that bunker.
There should be a 2nd season. People should question history and not just accept what we’re told, especially without proof. And in this case, there’s NO proof he nor Eva committed suicide.
Roger Clark says
CMS … You are wrong. Please read my other comments elsewhere on this site and do some proper research before you start insulting people who are better informed than you are.
Hitler died in Berlin in 1945. No serious historian argues that he escaped. And with good reason if you read their books and study the evidence. You are spouting conspiracy theory nonsense.
-eivindho says
You are a clown and a debunker. Nothing you say convinces me that Hitler died in that bunker, and the more youy say it, the more Im convinced that you are a CIA paid of professional debunker who do this for a living.
Fush Yumeng says
He died in Berlin. Hitler’s dentist was captured after the war by the Americans. Two of his dental techs were captured by the Russians. Each independently reconstructed the details of Hitler’s dental work from memory. Their reconstructions meshed completely, and they fit with the details of the dental work on the jaw fragments attributed to Hitler AND to the skull X-rays taken of him by his doctor after the July 20 bomb attempt. Bottom line, there is solid forensic proof beyond a reasonable doubt that Hitler died in Berlin.

Shawn says
Please History, please renew Hunting Hitler. I agree that the evidence of Hitler’s demise in that bunker in 1945 is shoddy to non-existent. I would like to see how the team continues to produce hard facts proving our own written history to be fake, and that Hitler though long dead now lived out his days well passed what we have been told.
Paul says
TCM, if you don’t like the show, don’t watch it! Simple as that….why should they cancel because you don’t like the show. Let’s see how things play out. Hitler may have been dead by his own hand, but maybe not. He was a psychopath and felt God-like….egomaniac. Why is it so impossible that he could have staged this? Anyone high school student covering Hitler would know that. Either way, I’d like to see where how this plays out.
Roger Clark says
Paul … Why should the History Channel cancel the show because people dislike it? It’s more than dislike. These shows are untrue – grossly and palpably false. They defame experts with decades of knowledge and accuse them of ‘lying’ – deliberate fabrication – while they themselves present false information as fact.
What the History Channel is doing is intellectually indecent and harmful, That’s why these programs should be scrapped and their makers called to account. .
Please see my other comments on this site and follow up my suggestions for further reading. You will understand then why I am so disgusted with this series.
mitch says
Absolutely there should be a season 2! This story needs to be told, and the record needs to be set straight as to what really transpired in regards to Adolf Hitler. The premise of the show seems to have been to look for evidence that it was possible that he survived WWII! Let’s give the Hunting Hitler series a chance to further investigate this matter!!!
MLS
Ella says
I agree. Give the History Channel a chance. They throw out some good POSSIBILITIES, not necessarily truths. I just wish they could follow thru with some things like the hidden bunker behind the mansion or the possible nuclear lab that that country’s government won’t allow further investigation of.
Kathryn says
Season 2 please. I think I’ve seen each episode three times. Nobody is asking it to be right or wrong just that we get to view possible evidence that there could be argument for other possible evidence.
Philip says
From the looks of episode 8, the team was allowed 12 hours only, at that marsh/lake, and it was there where they could of found evidence of the plane. Without that evidence, I think they’re pretty much at a dead-end. Unless its eye-witness related.
Fush Yumeng says
The FBI report regarding the plane which was shown on the program contained additional redactions which were not in the original released document. Specifically, the documents stated that Hitler flew with Martin Bormann and two rocket scientists to Bogota and that the plane was destroyed. Bormann died in Berlin, his body WAS found and identified through dental examination AND DNA testing. Since Bormann died in Berlin, any reports or stories putting him anywhere after the fall of Berlin are completely fabricated.
Elizabeth says
Must. Have. Second. Series.
Liz says
Puh leeeease Renew with Season 2!!! Just awesome awesome awesome!!! I’ve watched season 1 over and over again on DVR. Can’t get enough!!!
Roger Clark says
Liz … Try reading these two articles. You may then understand why critics are revolted by this series.
I have published a long critical review of “Hunting Hitler”. It’s called THE BIG READ: CARRY ON HUNTING HITLER … People can find it on this website:-

http://thepipeline.info/blog/2015/12/03/review-hunting-hitler-spoiler-alert-they-havent-found-him/
Enjoy! And let’s have your opinions when you’ve read them.
Jan says
YES, please renew this show. One of the most riveting programs….could hardly wait each week for the next show….very sad the way they abruptly ended the season….sort of left me thinking it was cancelled or they ran out of budget….so many interesting facts. I have a lot of friends and family watching it too…everyone is fascinated.
I am a believer that Hitler could indeed have escaped….but what does seem illogical is that none of his cronies were part of the plan nor had a similar plan, like Goering, Goebbels, etc…..
But yes, History Channel, we BEG you to bring this back for another exciting season of Hitler hunting!!!
Carol Lynch says
This series has been fascinating. I’ve watched each several times. The pieces of physical evidence and information from aging witnesses are totally intriguing. Glad someone has the interest and resources to follow this through. I think it is not necessarily the intent of writers of history books to provide incomplete or misleading information, but publication in and of itself requires them to draw some presentable conclusions. In almost any case, the account rarely represents the whole story. So new information should be an extension of our understanding, and in no way a threat. Please renew this important series!
Fred says
I hope this is renewed !! Obviously there is more probible evidence to suggest Hiter Escaped Germany and did not die in the bunker than proof that he did die in Germany as history tells us . The things they have found and the FBI reports are compelling to say the least !!

Hayden says
There must be a second season. Season one left us in too much suspense. THE WORLD DESERVES TO KNOW THE TRUTH.
BIGGROBBG says
Please, renew for a second season, look at how much they have uncovered already! ,I want them to find that scuttled U-boat! American authorities knew that he was possibly still alive!,they were to busy worrying about the Communist Russians They were using Ex-Knotsie’s in a lot of different ways!
Fush Yumeng says
Any U-boat transporting Hitler to South America would have been taken out a mile or two offshore and scuttled in water thousands of feet deep to ensure it would never be found. It would never have been sunk so close to shore in such shallow water where it would almost certainly be found eventually. Either those guys knew it, which makes them frauds, or they didn’t, which makes them a bunch of incompetent idiots.
Terry McDonald says
So much history showing Hitler did get out of Germany . But , with the FBI files having so much info . Another embrassing moment for the Federal Govermnet . This show needs a season two . There be people in today’s government that do not want the truth ,What slap in the face of the Jews
Emy says
I wan to know what happened to that plane with his personal property. If Hitler wanted it preserved enough to fly it out, he’d want some of those things if he got out himself.
JT says
Whether or not Hitler was in South America, they did show details on Nazis moving to and living long lives after the war in South America. Few were susequently caught and sentenced, some are probably still alive.
JAP says
I really hope is show comes back for another session. This show makes you say “What if” and any show that makes you think is better then some of the stuff we have on TV today. Please bring it back!
name here says
tcm question for you what if iran would have said saddam hussein died cause he took his life would you believe that too the words coming from iran when we found him in a hole, keep in mind this is a what if question the same question with hitler killing himself cause the nazi’s said he did?????????????
John Malin says
Of cours, this is TV entertainment, not scientific investigation. Even so, I really hope the producers carry it forward. Is the problem one of viewership, or is someone nervous that the “official” version of history is being contradicted?
Mainer says
I look forward to another season, one of the more enjoyable series now on tv…even if it doesn’t windup having a Robert Durst ending.
JR says
I was truly in grossed withis show and angry if it’s true that he escaped. I hope I goes the distance for the final answer.
Reed says
How do you stop now ! There’s so much more to find out.
Lynn Beard says
Great show. Please do not leave us hanging.
Dan Carachuelo says
Great Show and hope their ratings were high enough to have a season 2 . Love all the what if’s in this show and all the outs they think Hitler may have had!! Season 2 !! Please, Please, Please !!!!!!
Roger Clark says
I find the enthusiasm for this series deeply depressing. Those calling for a second series lack basic knowledge. They’ve been fooled – taken in.
I issue a challenge … Name one major historian, biographer or institution that supports the claim that Hitler escaped from the bunker in 1945.
In March 2012 Sergio Widder, the Latin America director of Nazi hunters the Simon Wiesenthal Center, said: “Argentina was the main haven for Nazi war criminals. Men like Mengele and Eichmann were protected by the Argentine state. But there is no serious evidence Hitler survived the war, let alone came to Argentina. These stories should be for novels, not history.”‘
The Simon Wiesenthal Center is the world’s leading Nazi hunting organisation. Why are they wrong and the “Hunting Hitler” series right?
Yad Vashem, the world centre for Holocaust research in Jerusalem, also denies Hitler survived the war. So does the Wiener Library, another leading authority on the Holocaust and Nazi era. So does Bundesarchiv (German Federal Archive). So does “Encyclopaedia Britannica” which has exacting standards of accuracy.
These organisations are stuffed with experts who have contacts with thousands of knowledgeable people all over the globe. Why are they wrong and “Hunting Hitler” right?
Even that maverick David Irving says Hitler and Eva died in Berlin in 1945.
Just as “Hunting Hitler” was starting the Smithsonian Channel broadcast a documentary confirming Hitler’s suicide in Berlin in 1945. The program – called “The Day Hitler Died” – carried filmed interviews made in 1948 with members of Hitler’s inner circle – civilian and military – who were with Hitler in Berlin to the end. This contained the ultimate boots-on-the-ground research. The interviews were carried out by the naval lawyer and Nuremberg trial judge Captain Michael Musmanno. He spent two years in Germany in the 1940s tracking down and interviewing over 100 people who had worked closely with Hitler in the last days of the war. In their own words they tell us what happened in the bunker as the Red Army closed in and refute what Hitler survivalists would have us believe.
A massive new biography of Hitler – the first volume is nearly a thousand pages long – has now been published and is getting good reviews. It’s called simply “Hitler” by Volker Ullrich. The book draws on a wealth of previously neglected or unavailable sources.
Ullrich makes clear in the first volume that Hitler committed suicide in Berlin in 1945. On page 105 the author says:- ‘Hitler would cling to his conviction that his battle with the Jews was a matter of life or death right up until his suicide in his bunker in Berlin in late April 1945.’
Ullrich says Hitler contemplated killing himself a number of times during his life when the going got rough. In addition to mentioning Hitler’s suicide on page 105 Ullrich writes about Hitler’s ‘suicidal tendencies’ on pages 157-8, 163, 344 and 411. The second volume is on its way, but there is no likelihood that Ullrich will support the conspiracy theorists who still cling to the foolish notion that Hitler survived.
People need to read other authoritative biographies as well to understand the psychology of Hitler and why he committed suicide – such as those by Bullock, Fest and Kershaw. Also read “THE LAST DAYS OF HITLER – Legend, Evidence and Truth” by Anton Joachimsthaler. This is crammed with documents and eyewitness reports and examines the formal inquiries into Hitler’s death.
In addition read Donald M. McKale’s “Hitler the Survival Myth” which discusses many of the fictional tales about Hitler’s escape.
Hitler never escaped from the bunker in 1945. I see a staggering ignorance in many of the survival comments published on this site. The most enthusiastic supporters of this bogus series have done no serious reading or consulted proper authorities who have studied this issue for decades and are better informed. “Hunting Hitler” is ignorant and wrong and it’s unwise to try and defend it.
Ella says
What I don’t understand is yes there is the very real possibility Hitler died in that bunker. But why isn’t there a very real possibility that IF Hitler did escape, and people knew of his ruthlessness, and these people were told not to tell the truth, wouldn’t it be feasible they would lie out of fear of retaliation from Hitler or the Nazi party?
ashtray says
Please renewed, season 2 w/ open arms ;>
terry says
I think they got too close and were shut down. Could you imagine what would happen if Hitler did survive the Bunker ? ? ? ?
Fush Yumeng says

Bill Lawrenz says
at least schedule a replay of year one. it was excellent.
John Lambert says
I truly felt “riveted” to my chair while watching “Hunting Hitler.”
In the light of “The boys from Brazil” the series was fascinating. No mention of Mengele? yet??
Was Joseph Goebels really found dead with his family.
So many unanswered questions now arise as a result of this series.
A psychological study of these “types” found in most Nazi’s would be extremely interesting to me and others I’m sure.
What is the nature of a sociopath? Psychopaths are running the world now. And apparently back then too!
Bringing the series back would definitely spark my interest and my wallet!! Bring back Tim too! He was great!
Brandon says
To the moron trying to get everyone to read his pipeline article, you just want people to read your article. So what if people want the show? There is obviously research that is proven that he did escape. Why else would there be all the bunkers in South America? Why else would there be underground tunnels in South America? Tunnels leading to the airport in Germany from his bunker? No, you just want people to read your article. If people want to see the show, let them. Who cares if your a lawyer? Lawyer doesn’t equal scientist. Obviously you are caught up in your own bubble of trying to disprove evidence. The evidence is bunkers, artifacts, eye witness accounts, FBI documents, etc. This isn’t court bud. No one cares about your article. If Germans left and were caught in South America, why wouldn’t hitler be there? Let the show air and allow people to form their on opinions. It makes for good TV and is more entertaining.
Ella says
I would very much like to see more. I would rather watch REAL POSSIBILITIES then phony survivalist on an island, or the phony REAL lives of celebrities. But that’s just me. To each his/her own
darlene says
Yes yes renew please
John Wilson says
My wife and I really enjoy watching hunting Hilter please bring it back. I was disappointed when Viceland was started. I think History Channel can do a better job on the shows they have. Who watches Swamp people? What happen to Scott Wolters I loved his show.
Ryan says
Tim Kennedy confirmed there is a season 3 on May 9th on twitter
