Original subtitles

German radio has just announced that Hitler is dead.

Repeat that: Hitler...

is dead.

May 8, 1947.

Director FBI, J. Edgar Hoover.

The American Army officials in Germany

have not located Hitler's body,

nor is there any reliable source

who will say definitely that Hitler is dead

two years after the end of the war.

This should have been settled history,

but you get into these FBI files and you'll see right away

they had an active investigation looking for this guy.

This case is a mess.

If you look at the FBI files,

it throws open the investigation.

male narrator: Bob Baer, a 21-year CIA veteran

and one of the most respected intelligence minds

in the world has dedicated his career

to cracking some of the CIA's greatest enigmas

and tracking fugitives like Saddam Hussein.

Most people know me from the movie "Syriana."

The role George Clooney played was based on my life.

You walk into the CIA, and there's a quote:

"Know the truth, and it will set you free."

My boss has always said, "You're the only one

in this building who believes that."

The narrative the government gives us is a lie.

We can't tell people the truth, because it scares 'em,

and if they get scared, they can't sleep at night.

And if they can't sleep at night they get up in the morning,

and they vote you out of office.

All the stories we've been told about Hitler's bunker--

there's nothing to back it up.

It's the biggest mystery of the 20th century.

narrator: April 30, 1945.

With Soviet troops closing in on Berlin,

Hitler and his wife, Eva Braun,

are reported to have committed suicide in his bunker.

Soviet troops storm Hitler's bunker,

contaminating the crime scene,

and shipping his supposed remains to Moscow.

The Russians were into full looting mode.

They completely botched the investigation.

We have no primary witnesses.

We have no forensics.

narrator: July 17, 1945.

At the Potsdam Conference,

Stalin reportedly tells other world leaders

he believes Hitler may have gotten away.

These are very serious men

who are very careful about what they say.

narrator: 2009.

A team of American scientists gets access to the remains

that the Soviets claimed were Hitler's.

A DNA analysis determines the remains

belonged to a woman.

The forensics we do have make it look as if Hitler got away.

If you've got money, and you know what you're doing,

you can disappear.

In 1945, people wanted the war over,

and nobody wanted to dig in

to what actually happened to Hitler.

narrator: 2014.

The FBI declassifies files regarding Hitler's death,

opening the door to what could be

the biggest cover-up in history.

In these files, there are thousands of leads.

This is report after report

after report.

narrator: Armed with 700 pages of newly declassified documents

and the most cutting-edge technology,

Bob puts together a team of some of the most

respected experts in the world:

international investigators,

Nazi hunters,

forensic scientists,

investigative journalists,

military man hunters,

and premier war crimes investigator Dr. John Cencich.

I was appointed by the United Nations

to work the world's most heinous crimes

involving some of the world's worst criminals.

The truth is going to come forward from my perspective.

It's going to be objective, and that's what I want to do.

We are not going to make our conclusions in advance.

If you can provide me the evidence

he died in that bunker,

I'll be as happy as if he got away.

I just want to do the definitive investigation on Hitler.

For once and all, settle this damn thing.

Do we have that other photograph?

The one that the Soviets took.

narrator: With 700 pages of declassified documents

containing thousands of potential new clues,

Bob utilizes a powerful military tool

to identify a starting point for the investigation.

This program scans the declassified documents

for locations then plots patterns of activity on a map.

It's a needle in a haystack,

but it's a lot smaller haystack when you got software like this.

I'm gonna set it for all locations

where he was sighted between April 25, 1945

and July 25, 1945,

the first hundred days.

And those are the most important days.

I know from experience tracking terrorists

those first hundred days were the times

he was on the move.

That's when he was most exposed.

That's when you're going to have witnesses to his flight.

Look at Berlin.

Look at Spain.

- Spain's interesting. - Yeah, but look at Argentina.

I mean, just exploding.

If you look at that pattern,

it's clearly Argentina where we have to start.

The problem is Argentina's a big country.

We need something more specific.

narrator: The team goes through

the hundreds of FBI documents that place Hitler in Argentina,

looking for patterns in the reports.

A letter to Mr. J. Edgar Hoover.

You know, that really piques my interest.

Here it says, "He is living in a great

underground establishment." - Look at this, look at this.

Here's a second FBI document.

Different sourcing. Look at this.

It's August 11, 1945.

"Hitler is in Argentina.

"He is living in a great underground establishment

"with hundreds of Nazis 675 miles west of Florianopolis.

450 miles north northwest from Buenos Aires."

If it's one report... eh, so what?

But when you got two it's something.

narrator: Bob cross-references the two coordinates

mentioned in the FBI files.

The computer identifies a GPS intersection

in the middle of rural Argentina.

The closest community is Charata.

John, what do we know about Charata?

It's in the middle of nowhere,

and look at this. The languages spoken:

English, Spanish, and German.

It's a long way from home.

We have to see if in fact

there was a German community out there...

which will start to give substance

to this FBI report.

If we get out there,

and it's just a bunch of Argentine farmers

who don't even know where Germany is, never heard of it,

then we got a problem.

The first phase of this investigation

is to pressure test the FBI files.

Only once do you get on the ground

can you actually start to corroborate information.

There's usually some piece of it that's true

and other pieces that are not.

It's now time to put boots on the ground.

Charata's our place.

narrator: Bob has assembled

a team of international experts in Argentina

to tackle the first leg of the investigation.

Tim Kennedy. Special Forces.

Spent a career in the military tracking high-value targets.

Iraq, Afghanistan, cartels.

He knows what he's doing.

I have hunted high-value targets like Bin Laden

for 15 years.

There's nobody on the planet that could do this better.

I have access to new technology

that is enabling us to look at something that's 70 years old

and breathe new life into it.

Gerrard Williams. Investigative reporter.

Great reputation. BBC, Reuters.

Dedicated a decade to studying Nazis in South America.

He's the kind of guy I need to sift the evidence

to tell me whether we're on firm ground or not.

I was in Argentina on a story,

and I came across this idea

that Adolf Hitler had escaped to Argentina on a submarine.

But about a year into it, I realized there was so much

about the official history that was just plain wrong.

My father was a combat veteran.

Six years he fought the Nazis.

He was wounded three times.

That generation was lied to.

This story needs telling.

Finally, Steve Rambam. Nazi hunter.

He's tracked more than 170 of these guys

in remote, tight-knit communities

all around the world.

If you are a war criminal,

this is your last chance.

Won't be the first time or the 500th time

that I've gone into a hostile environment

to get these guys.

I'm not intimidated.

They're a lot more afraid of me than I was of them.

narrator: The team hits the ground in Charata.

They focus their search for people that could have

provided a support network for Hitler in this area.

We're trying to find information out

about German people.

You can put Hitler in a bunker,

or you can put him in a farm.

You can put him in a hayloft.

What matters is having known associates

that can support his movement and protect him.

We were very effective in doing that in catching Bin Laden.

We were able to track his informants and his couriers

an how he was getting information out

and getting information in.

narrator: The team gets a crucial lead:

the name of Charata's oldest living German resident,

a man who may have been witness to Nazi activity in the area

70 years ago.

When you are looking at not just a cold case

but a frozen case, evidence is gone.

People are dead.

To have access to this living eyewitness

almost 70 years later?

That's huge.

We would like to ask him some questions

about the history of the German community here.

He's got a big story.

Stand in lines.

Drill. Military drill.

Okay.

Were the teachers in the school supportive of the Nazis?

Did they fly the swastika flag at the school?

- Yes. - They did fly it.

I have one more question.

I want to push a little bit here.

Was he part of the Hitler Youth?

I never even imagined that I would come and talk to people

about something that occurred 70 years ago

and I would see anxiety, reservation, fear.

But that's how it is.

Look. Can't force him to tell us.

Okay. We're done.

We know yes there were Nazi sympathizers here.

- Thank you very much. - Muchas gracias.

Yes, there were Nazi activities at the school.

Is there ability in the area

to build a significant underground facility?

We're about to find out.

This case is 70 years old.

It's the biggest mystery of the 20th century.

narrator: With the release of 700 pages

of recently declassified FBI files,

CIA veteran Bob Baer

and war crimes investigator John Cencich

reopen the case into the death of Adolf Hitler.

There's no decent forensics.

All the witnesses are dead. There's no fingerprints.

And the forensics we do have

make it look as if Hitler got away.

If someone from Hitler's family came forward

and tried to cash in on an insurance policy,

no life insurance company in the world would have paid up.

narrator: The investigation begins in Argentina

where two FBI files place Hitler living in a bunker

near a rural farm town

3 1/2 months after his alleged death.

Look at this, look at this. Hitler is in Argentina.

He is living in a great underground establishment.

Charata's our place.

narrator: On the ground, a team of international investigators

follows a lead to a German school

in the same area indicated in the FBI documents.

This is it. The older part of town.

- This is the school? - Yes.

Check this place out.

It's a big school.

Chain link fence. The 8-foot walls.

It's hard to figure out if it's to keep people in or out.

You build things particular ways

and you build them in particular places

for very specific reasons,

and I immediately recognized that the similarities

between this school and military bases

are very, very, very close.

Big playground.

They probably have 100 people goose-stepping across this lawn.

narrator: Here, boys ages 14 to 18

trained to be Nazi soldiers.

They swore absolute and fanatical loyalty to the Fuhrer

before being shipped off to fight.

This local chapter

was part of a worldwide Hitler Youth army

of over 8 million boys from 52 different countries.

They get a hold of these kids young,

and they start indoctrinating them into the idea

of how wonderful it is to be a Nazi.

And it's something that's going on even to today

as ISIS is doing the exact same thing.

Everyone here would have been honored

to have Hitler come here

and given their life to protect his hiding.

This is a huge compound.

Wow. Look at those.

It's very much an Argentine national symbol with the sun,

and the red hat with joined hands,

and then the colors of the Argentine flag.

Blue and white mixed with-- we've got a German eagle.

This is a German school in Argentina.

The German communities--

they'd been here before the Nazis came to power,

and there was a big influx of Germans

after the first World War.

With the rise of the Nazi Party in the 1930s,

you could be proud of being German again,

and if you wanted to do well in your community,

you became a Nazi.

These people were sworn to die

before they did anything that would damage the Fuhrer.

Tim.

narrator: The team calls in Juan Alberto

who has spent decades unearthing German activity

in this tiny farm town.

His locally published book

chronicles the little talked about Nazi presence in Charata.

Check this out.

Now here's everybody doing the Hitler salute

in front of this school.

Man, it's crazy.

Was there any communication from this community

to other communities, German communities around?

So a big German community tracking the war.

Communication with others and the embassy.

narrator: At the height of the Third Reich,

60,000 Nazis lived in Argentina,

creating a network of interconnected communities

throughout South America.

Some feared these communities could become sleeper cells,

acting as a launch pad for an invasion of the Americas.

It'd be very easy to take Hitler,

put him into this network,

this spider web of bunch of different communities,

and he's gone.

That's how Osama bin Laden was able to disappear.

narrator: The team works their way

through the rest of the school

in search of any clues that could tie this location

to an underground bunker in the area.

Okay. Let's look at the books.

This is all entirely in German.

See if you find anything that looks like "Mein Kampf."

Ha.

Oh, look at this.

Who was Carlos Buck?

Those initials are on a whole bunch of books in here.

Carlos Buck?

Does he know anything about any underground structure,

any hidden parts of the school?

Okay.

Did he write about all that stuff?

It's mentioned in his book.

There is a FBI memo

that there was an underground bunker here.

Now this guy who is a historian--

pretty darn credible one

who literally wrote the book on Germans in this town

tells us the exact same thing.

All of a sudden this is possibly

not a wild goose chase.

If he can get us directions about how to find this farm.

No.

We'll keep it confidential.

We'll just show up there and...

Tell him I've been a detective for 30 years.

I've kept bigger secrets than this.

75 years later, people in this town

are still afraid to give up information about Germans.

This guy who wrote the book on the German community

seems like a pretty tough guy.

Not a guy who's gonna be pushed around.

Even he wants to go outside and tell me privately,

in a very low voice,

where this farm is and who owns that house.

Where is the house?

At the beginning of an investigation,

and we're off to a running start.

Look at this. Look at this.

"Hitler is in Argentina.

He is living in a great underground establishment."

narrator: Newly declassified FBI documents

place Hitler in a remote part of Argentina

where a team of investigators

uncovers a local report of a nearby bunker.

This is a report that there was a farmhouse

that was west of Charata used by Nazi supporters.

We have an FBI document that says the same thing.

That's not a coincidence.

narrator: While Gerrard combs through the archives

for any reports of Nazis operating in Charata,

Tim, Steve, and their translator

head deep into the countryside

in search of the underground bunker.

This would have been way out of town.

My entire career has been driven

by this idea of "Mission first.

Mission first. Mission first."

You know, like, it doesn't matter what the obstacles are.

You're still going to complete your mission,

and you're still going to put mission first.

And we're trying to investigate

one of the most important historical occurrences

that's ever happened,

and we have an opportunity to maybe find some truth to that.

And that's my mission.

Is this it?

This is it.

You know, you hear the expression

"In the middle of nowhere."

This was in the middle of nowhere.

If you're looking for a clandestine activity

for the Nazis in this area,

man, this is the perfect location.

Your nearest neighbor is five, ten miles away.

I mean, they could have had artillery practice there,

and nobody would have known.

When I did the Nazi war crimes investigations in Canada,

one thing I learned

is that each witness requires special handling.

Even how you say "hello"

sometimes affects whether the person

talks to you or not.

You own a very interesting piece of property.

You can tell them the story that we heard

was that there was a room

or a basement that had been closed,

and when they found it and opened it

there were all of these, you know,

items in there.

There is a basement here, but there's nothing.

They didn't find anything in it?

They don't know anything about that.

His dad bought the property in 1952.

- Maybe his dad found it. - Yeah.

Impossible.

They were just goods.

It was just a store. A general store.

Why would you have a store out in the middle of nowhere?

You're miles, and miles, and miles from town,

and you're just gonna set up shop

and start selling from there? It makes zero sense.

We're researching German activity.

Was there a German community in this area?

- No. - No.

When you want to give credibility to an informant,

you ask questions that you know the answer to.

We know in the mid-20th century the vast majority

of the inhabitants of this area were German.

In this area there was no big number of Germans?

No.

No, he says he doesn't know anything about that.

70 years after the end of the war and these people,

today, are terrified to tell us anything.

Absolutely a wall of silence,

but I know how to get witnesses to talk to me.

So tell him that this is probably not

the place we're looking for.

They had the house, and they had the store.

Did they always know about the basement?

They kept all the drinks, especially the beer,

because it was so hot here,

and in the basement it was fresh.

- Right, right. - It was cool.

Mm-hmm.

He can show us the basement if you want to.

Please. Por favor. Please.

In the United States they were called root cellars.

Just a little, tiny basement

dug into the floor where you can store goods

that you want to keep for a little bit longer.

But local intel is telling us

that this particular one is different.

That's the cellar.

Check this out.

Very interesting.

Look at that.

Is it possible-- is it possible to look inside?

This is very unusual in this part of Argentina, right?

- Yeah. - Okay.

Look at this. "Hitler is in Argentina.

He is living in a great underground establishment."

narrator: Newly declassified FBI files

point the team to the town of Charata

and a report of a nearby bunker.

Then he can get us directions about how to find this farm.

narrator: After gaining access to this property,

Tim and Steve prepare to enter

the mysterious underground structure.

This is very unusual in this part of Argentina, right?

- Yeah. - Okay.

We pull the boards off.

It's these stairs that are carved.

You can't see the bottom.

You know what, this is terrifically well-constructed.

Look at the walls.

This is not packed dirt.

This is actual, you know, man-made walls.

My expectation of a root cellar underneath a farm

was gonna be, you know, some shoddy mud-type support

with maybe some wood beams and a dirt floor.

Couldn't have been further from the truth.

The construction was very, very well-made walls

with brick and cement,

and gigantic, thick overhead beams with tile on top of 'em.

Wait a second. Check this out.

Holy [bleep].

Yeah, it's a--it's a--

- Air shaft? - Yep.

The bunkers that I've seen when we were in Baghdad, Iraq,

have subterranean features,

and it looked very similar to this site.

This is actually well designed.

For ventilation you always have to have two of 'em.

You have to create a draft.

That's what this side is right here.

Very suspicious.

narrator: Storage cellars were common in South America

during the 1940s,

but this underground room is reinforced with concrete

and supplied with a complex ventilation system.

Two separate air shafts

allow for circulation of clean oxygen-rich air

in through one end and dirty oxygen-deficient air

out through the other.

This engineering would allow humans to breathe underground

for up to months at a time.

Innovations in underground construction

flourished during the Third Reich.

The Nazis perfected the use of reinforced concrete

and completed hundreds of underground bunker projects

throughout occupied Europe.

I got to tell you, this is a hell of a little room here.

The FBI files, they clearly say,

"A large underground bunker.

"A meeting place for hundreds of high-ranking Nazi officials

in the area."

So is this the bunker from the files?

Probably not.

But could it be part of a larger network

of moving German war fugitives in and out of Charata?

Absolutely.

narrator: Back in town, Steve and Tim

meet with Gerrard who has uncovered a massive clue.

I've been digging as well and found

what can only be described as a biblical listing

of important Nazis in Argentina.

This is from the military attaché.

American U.S. military attaché.

It's come straight out of the German embassy files.

The following list represents those "good Nazis

"in the provinces who can always be depended on

"to contribute to various Nazi funds

and to spread Nazi propaganda."

We have here one

of the most important Nazis in Chaco Province.

The man from the school, Carlos Buck.

There's a U.S. Army military intelligence document

that tells us Carlos Buck, also known as Karl Buck,

German national, very involved with the German school,

is a known Nazi agent in Charata, Argentina.

Carlos Buck owned property in the greater Charata area

and specifically downtown.

There could have been a basement or an underground area

beneath Carlos Buck's property. - Okay.

The first things you have to look at--

what support structure is in place

that could enable somebody

and facilitate them to run and hide?

We were very effective in doing that in catching bin Laden.

Hitler could have been enabled here by Carlos Buck.

I have a buddy that I was in the Army with.

He was in military intelligence while he was in the service,

and now he works for a company

that does ground-penetrating radar.

This thing can penetrate the ground up to 30 feet.

Anything that's hidden underground will--

I mean even bodies.

I mean this really is the center

of the local German activity.

We got to go visit this place.

Find me a bunker.

Let's go take a look.

narrator: Newly declassified FBI files place Hitler

living in a bunker in rural Argentina.

- Check this out. - Here is everybody

doing the Hitler salute in front of this school.

narrator: The team zeroes in

on prominent local Nazi Carlos Buck

and his massive property,

which could house the bunker from the FBI files.

It's an old house.

This is a potentially critical piece of evidence.

If there is in fact a bunker on this property--

a concealed room that was used by Adolf Hitler--

it's a big deal.

- It's been a while, yeah? - Just glad I got a hold of you.

narrator: Tim's Army buddy from Iraq, David Kelly, arrives

with his state-of-the-art ground-penetrating technology.

Anything that you're looking for we're gonna be able to find.

There it is. - Are we still on time?

narrator: But before they can investigate the lot,

they must first get permission from the current owner.

Come on. Get your ass in the vehicle.

- Sorry? Yeah. - Get in.

This is the first time in this investigation

that's maybe within reach of actual testable evidence.

But I can tell you that one slip, that's it.

We're done here.

All right, Leo, you need to say what I say in the same tone.

- Yeah. - You need to generate

the impression that I'm a serious guy.

You've done this a thousand times in a thousand places.

- Okay. - Trust me.

I trust you completely.

Right here. Right here.

I'm asking you for your help.

This is a very important question of history.

With you? Nothing.

Okay.

narrator: Now with permission from the property owner,

the team descends on the massive lot

once owned by prominent Nazi Carlos Buck.

- Start rocking it? - Yeah.

- Good, okay. - Break 'em out, baby.

Find me something, man. - If it's there I'll find it.

We're digging into a 70-year-old cold case

using something that moves around like a lawnmower.

It's really calm.

But ground-penetrating radar is a remarkable tool.

Every step that you take, you get a snapshot

of what's underneath your feet.

It can see through 20-30 feet of dirt and rock

to see what's underneath it.

narrator: Ground-penetrating technology is so powerful

that it's trusted by the U.S. military

to locate buried IEDs in life-and-death situations.

This state-of-the-art equipment sends pulses of energy

into the ground, measures the time it takes

for that signal to return to the surface,

and creates an image of what lies deep below.

Nothing really in this area over here.

Just really consistent.

Really mellow.

Nothing happening.

No bueno?

Yeah. No bueno.

I'll keep scanning through.

Ooh, look at that. Uh, Tim?

Starting to get some busy matter going on here.

Some soil disturbance.

This is where we have our most disturbance,

but the problem is I can't go through the stockpile

or get around it.

It's possible there's something here,

and right as you're coming up to it it's kind of--

Yeah. If I could push it just a little bit further

we could see more and get a better understanding

of what's going on below the surface.

Find me a bunker?

I'm actually finding areas of interest by the cinder block.

Yeah. You can see da-da-da ends.

Yeah.

Great.

We're surveying the property, and we find one little blip

that looks like the beginning of an entrance,

and one foot later are five tons of bricks

just sitting there covering whatever

that little anomaly is the edge of, and we can't get to it.

Okay.

The best approach for this

is actually rolling right over top of it.

- Is that an option? - You know what?

It's not an off-the-shelf application or option,

but I think at this point we've worked so hard to get in here

we should give anything a shot.

In my long military experience,

you can have the best plan in the world,

and once the first gunfire goes off it changes everything.

And your ability to adapt is super important.

That's no different here.

We came to a roadblock,

but ultimately we have to be able to be flexible

and execute regardless.

Let me try something.

narrator: David Kelly adjusts the settings

on the ground-penetrating radar.

The device can now look beyond the interference

of the cement blocks

and penetrate the ground beneath them.

Now I'm starting to pick up activity.

- Seriously? - Yeah.

And there's definitely an area of interest down here.

In any investigation there are very few moments

that I know are going to be definitive.

This is gonna be one of 'em.

This is kind of freaking me out.

narrator: Using newly declassified FBI documents

that claim Hitler escaped to Argentina,

investigators locate the possible location

of a bunker allegedly used to hide the Nazi leader.

There's a little disturbance right here.

narrator: After investigating the massive property

with ground-penetrating radar...

I think we're done.

Hopefully we'll be able to find something.

narrator: Tim Kennedy uploads the data

to Bob and John back in the situation room.

From my experience using GPR

in a number of different types of criminal investigations,

when you look here you see certain anomalies.

You can see that the depth here is different.

Yeah, but what does that tell you, that depth?

That depth there tells me that something here is buried

8-10 feet below the surface of the ground.

Something has happened with the soil.

It's disturbed soil.

Was it a place this underground facility

could have been located?

Yes.

If this were a Hollywood movie,

we would dig up a bunker,

and we'd find Adolf Hitler in it, but it's not a movie.

This is a real investigation.

We did find a structure 8-10 feet underground.

It very well could be the bunker that's noted in the FBI files,

but this is private property.

We're just not gonna get permission to dig there.

We know for a fact that we have enough evidence

and enough information to move this investigation forward.

There are things that existed in Charata

that were also important.

We had a Nazi community there,

and there was a smaller underground facility,

so really there was a network there,

which corroborates the information

that was provided to the FBI in 1945.

We need to look at something else

to help justify the next steps in this case

and really where we're going.

It may have been entirely possible

that Hitler was in Charata, and then got up,

and moved several months later. - Right.

You cannot set up in one place indefinitely,

because eventually news will get out of your presence.

You look at Osama bin Laden in Abbottabad.

He was there too long.

Now, if he had moved around,

it would have made it virtually impossible

for the Central Intelligence Agency to catch him.

That's what we have to consider here.

So they're gonna have to get to another German community,

another Nazi-supported community.

Yeah. I mean, but where?

Where would you go at that point?

And is there any other leads we have?

Yeah. Well, wait a minute.

Let me--let me check on something here.

narrator: To continue their investigation,

John digs into the 700 pages of declassified FBI files.

All right, "The Nazis in Misiones

"are reported...to control a system of roadways

known only to them."

So this is exactly what I'm talking about.

Charata. Misiones.

Did they have an underground network

that they could move people along this?

narrator: Declassified reports of clandestine travel routes

that connect Charata to Misiones

reveal a new potential location for their fugitive.

Seven hours. That's nothing.

600 kilometers. - That's not that far at all.

Probably a dirt road. Un-policed.

Hitler out of uniform, his hair changed, wearing glasses

would go unrecognized down a road like this.

It's been in the news very recently on Misiones

that there are archaeologists

that have found numerous artifacts related to Nazis.

Deep in Argentina's northern jungle,

researchers have found items dating back to Germany

in the 1940s.

In among the lush vegetation, the ruins

of a house-like structure

may have been at one time a Nazi safe haven.

They found German pottery.

They found structures and other artifacts.

They're anomalous. They shouldn't be there.

Why are they in the middle of this jungle?

Right now there's an archaeological dig

at Misiones unearthing Nazi artifacts.

They're digging up evidence that was not available in 1945.

Was it possible Hitler could have gone there?

This is the place where we should be sending the team.

Well, we've got to do it now.

Let's do it.

How does somebody live out here?

There could have been Nazis here.

We know that.

That means that there is a chance

Hitler could have come here.

This investigation, it's red hot right now.

It could be completely blowing open.

narrator: This season on "Hunting Hitler"...

That's a swastika.

In order to get at the truth, you've got to hit the ground.

Holy [bleep]! Hey. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

We have to run this evidence down.

We are the ones that are finally gonna do it,

because no one has.

Not much air in here, guys.

We're gonna look for submarines.

We're gonna look for airplanes.

Holy crap.

It might be the frame of the fuselage.

There's gonna be no easy answers.

You got to talk to the right people.

- Hitler was here? - He said so.

And you have to ask the right questions.

Is he telling me there was an Enigma machine

at his grandfather's place?

It's the only way you can get to the answers.

We came looking for the footprints

of Adolf Hitler in Spain, and I think we found them.

Hitler had a whole city to himself down here,

and nobody knew about it.

Hitler could have escaped Germany,

but right now I feel like I'm right behind him.

Once you actually get into the grass

and you start looking at the evidence...

All right. I'm in.

Stop right there, George. What's that?

Things are always more complicated.

Guys, let's get the hell out of here.

And the more blowback you get,

the closer you are to the truth.

Okay. Okay, bye.

- Yeah, yeah. - Oh, there we go.

We've got something man-made.

This could be a U-boat.

We're gonna walk away from this...

What the hell is that?

With answers we've never had before.

Is that a swastika?

This is the end of the story.

Gonna stop at nothing to find out

what really happened to Hitler.

Period. - I think we got it!
