The History Channel’s “Finding Hitler” series is the most convoluted, innuendo laden and making leaps to conclusions that are greater than any long jumper in history. I closely watched the first year and was appalled by how they made the connections they wanted to make to ensure that they could get an audience. I didn’t waste my time on season 2. I’ve spent my career as a military officer and a military historian, specializing in WWII and the Soviet Military.

And here is a link to the FBI’s ‘Hitler files’ that the producers selectively harvested what they wanted to use to “prove” their premise, while ignoring contradictory statements, often in the same paragraph. https://vault.fbi.gov/adolf-hitler

Our intelligence agencies knew Hitler escaped, as they rushed to bring in as many Nazi scientists and intelligence agents as they could. Basically, our Nazis vs Soviet Nazis are the guys who drove the space race and designs for missiles and fighters.

They’ve just played out the “Nazis 24/7” stuff on some channels; they’ve covered everything over and over, now they just invent theories.

If only Geraldo had known about that sort of documentary he could have got a whole season out or Capone’s vault.

Also, it’s the Hisory Channel ... did you really expect it to be about history?

Over all I agree with your assessment.

My comment was intended as being sarcastic. Taken individually some of the possibilities presented were plausible (i.e. Underground to Templehof), but taken in their entirety reached the point of absurdity rather quickly.
