Original subtitles

male narrator: Previously, on "Hunting Hitler"...

If Hitler's fleeing Berlin, he had an intermediate stop.

Denmark makes a lot of sense.

It's not like the Allies are landing on the beaches there.

Until May 5th, Denmark was still a Nazi stronghold.

These are people that can keep a secret.

These are people you can trust.

You saw Hitler and several comrades in May 1945.

Where did you see them?

In Tonder.

In total clandestine conditions,

you could land here.

But if these trees did exist,

you're certainly not going to get a big airplane in here.

That discounts it completely.

What if these trees weren't here?

I'm going to take a sample of this tree

and make a determination

on how long this tree has been standing here.

These results could be what makes or breaks the case.

There's no possible way

that somebody could get across this body of water alive.

This was a Nazi compound.

It was protecting one person who was very important.

Within 50 miles, there are several small towns.

We need names.

Goering?

Goering is a founding member of the Nazi party,

and in the event of Hitler's death,

it was Goering who was to become fuehrer.

We have to talk to her.

This is sounding to me

closer than we've been to the truth since we started this.

No question about it.

narrator: 21-year CIA veteran Bob Baer

and war-crimes investigator Dr. John Cencich

are overseeing a dual-pronged investigation.

While the European team investigates

how Hitler could have escaped from Berlin to Denmark,

the South American team

is investigating whether Hitler could have eventually reached

a Nazi compound in the jungles of Argentina.

If I were planning Hitler's escape,

I would go to Denmark.

narrator: They focus in on the European leg

of their investigation.

In Tonder, Denmark,

they've uncovered a secret Nazi air base

at the location that SS Major Mackensen,

in his declassified Nuremberg testimony,

placed Hitler arriving from Germany.

All the arrows are pointing to Tonder.

Now, the issue when they got there

and they looked at this, Lenny,

was there were trees.

You couldn't land.

We also have the results

of the tree-core analysis.

We had the dilemma about the trees.

Lenny said, "Let's take a look

and see when these trees were actually planted."

As you can see here, that's just a little over 1950,

after the Second World War.

So any aircraft could land there.

- And take off. - And take off.

First, we have the Major saying he saw Hitler,

and then the airport had the complete infrastructure

that would have supported fleeing Nazis.

I mean, it's all lining up very nicely

into a consistent story.

All right, you get to Tonder, and the question is,

what is the next place that Hitler would go?

What sort of evidence do we have?

Where could he have gone?

Well, the only thing that we can do right now

is to go deeper into the statements

by the SS Major during the Nuremberg trials.

See what we come up with.

15 March, 1948, question--

"Hitler was at the airport?"

"Yes, Hitler was."

"You were all Germans?"

"Leon Degrelle is the only foreigner."

Who's Leon Degrelle?

I don't know. Don't have a clue.

Let's dig in here and see what we've got on Mr. Degrelle.

Oh, here we go.

"Mr. Degrelle actively collaborated with the Nazis.

"During a ceremony to honor him for wartime actions,

"Mr. Degrelle said Hitler told him,

"'If I had a son,

I would have liked him to be like you.'"

If you're on the run, there's very few people you would trust.

And clearly, he looked at Degrelle as family.

Therefore, if Degrelle was with Hitler

in Denmark,

this is not just a coincidence.

Let's see exactly what else we might have on Degrelle.

Oh, yeah.

In May 1945,

Mr. Degrelle managed to escape in an airplane

and landed in San Sebastian, Spain.

Well, I mean, that completely fits.

I mean, look, the date-- May '45--

he escapes in an airplane from Denmark

and goes to Spain.

Earlier in the investigation,

we concluded that one of the most likely places

that Hitler would have gone from Germany

would have been Spain.

You begin to see a pattern.

The obvious question is, did he take Hitler with him

on the same plane?

So I think we need to get the team into San Sebastian.

Is there something that we can find on the ground

that corroborates that Degrelle

landed in an airplane in 1945?

Let's do it.

We've been told that Leon Degrelle

flies to San Sebastian.

Why does he come here?

Why this little corner of Spain?

And I guess that's what we need to try and find out.

narrator: World War II historian James Holland

lands in the remote coastal town of San Sebastian

in northern Spain.

He is joined by Mike Simpson,

Special Forces Reconnaissance expert.

I have a career that spans three decades,

almost all of it in special operations.

I've served as an airborne ranger,

as a Special Forces operator.

In 32 years, I've hunted drug lords.

I've hunted terrorists.

But this is the villain to end all villains--

Adolf Hitler himself.

This is the big prize, and I want to go after it.

narrator: In search of evidence that Leon Degrelle

could have arrived in San Sebastian,

the team has been granted access to Fototeca,

a private archive of thousands of photos

of the town's political and cultural life

during the 20th century.

We're really interested in Leon Degrelle arriving here.

When you're talking about a remote part of the world,

archives are almost your first port of call,

because as a historian, you want to look at documents,

things that happened absolutely of the moment.

1945.

The first thing I'm looking for is a plane

that Degrelle came over in,

but I wasn't finding that, so let's look elsewhere.

Is there any signs of German influence here

in this neck of the woods?

Very quickly the answer is yes.

Here's some German helmets.

They're Spanish, but they're wearing German helmets.

This shows that the Germans

have been supplying the Spanish with equipment.

So I've got another one here.

The fascist salutes in the plaza downtown here.

Lots of Nazis.

You know, the dagger and stuff, that's the feature of the SS.

What really surprises me is, we're seeing so much evidence

of the Germans being here,

and you can't flip two pages

without seeing a swastika or a German soldier.

No, no, no.

You know, if you're an escaping Nazi,

this would be a good place to come, clearly.

Everything we're seeing says that there was

a deep-seated Nazi presence here.

It really has to make somebody ask,

if this is what we're seeing in the archives,

how deep did it really run?

You're gonna want to hear this.

He found someone who was supposedly an eyewitness

to Degrelle's landing.

Wow.

He lives here in San Sebastian? - He has his address.

We have a name and address

of an eyewitness to the Degrelle landing.

With a 70-year-old cold case,

a living eyewitness is exactly what you want.

It is like hitting the jackpot.

So it's just here?Okay.

narrator: James and Mike arrive

at the home of Jaime Rodriguez Solis,

a rumored eyewitness to Degrelle's arrival

in May 1945.

- Hi. - Hello.

- Hello, morning. - Hi, I'm Mike.

Maya, hello.

- James - This is James, my colleague.

- How do you do? - Nice to meet you.

This is my father, Jaime Rodriguez.

Fascinated to know what it was like

in this part of the world

once the Second World War started.

And what about once the war ended?

Can he remember seeing any Germans

come to this part of the world?

People helped them to hide.

When they passed to Spain, the Nazis, they had no problems.

And we've heard that there was a Nazi called Leon Degrelle.

Leon Degrelle.

Yes, he flew it in, but we don't know where.

He says he remembers.

He went, and he saw it,

and a friend said, "The plane landed in the beach."

It landed on the beach?

Not on an airfield?

When they arrived, it was there in the water.

Anyone else come out of the plane?

He doesn't know.

That he cannot tell you.

He says that the following day, when he went to the beach,

the plane was not there anymore.

Really? Just one day later?

They figured out that the local authorities

removed it.

But that slightly suggests

they want to get rid of it quite quickly, doesn't it?

With a story like that, certainly that's something

that at least some people would continue to talk about.

Is there anybody that we might be able to talk to

that can give us a little bit more information?

He thinks that there's a family--

Barea family, Ramon Barea--

he may be able to maybe tell you something more about it.

Our original assumption was that the plane had landed

at a small airport here in San Sebastian.

The fact that it was on a beach,

that kicks it up a notch.

Why did he land on that beach?

And who else could have been on that plane?

Could it have been Hitler himself?

That's what we have to find out.

We've established

there was a Nazi military compound,

and 50 miles away, in Misiones,

there was a German community.

This place was a Nazi hideout.

narrator: While the team continues to dig

in San Sebastian, Spain,

Bob and John discuss the South American leg

of their investigation.

We have found the descendant

of Adolf Hitler's leadership living there.

narrator: In Argentina, the team has uncovered evidence

that Adela Goering,

the grandniece of Herman Goering,

the commander of the German Air Force

and one of Hitler's closest associates,

is living just 50 miles

from the Nazi militarized complex

in the jungles of Misiones.

I mean, I think it's interesting that his grandniece,

with that name, doesn't settle in Germany,

but goes off and lives in Argentina.

The grandniece

of one of the most significant war criminals

in the history of the world is in Misiones,

where we have this militarized Nazi outpost.

We really need to put this together,

because Herman Goering's grandniece

is not just there by happenstance.

If we can sit down and talk to the grandniece of Goering,

we're in for some good information.

Who knows what she heard?

I think we're on the right track here, Bob.

Yep, let's do it.

Every time that we start talking

to one of these generational Nazis,

they've grown up in silence,

practicing how to not talk about these things.

- You think she's scared? - Yeah, they're all scared.

narrator: U.S. Army Special Forces Tim Kennedy,

and Coli, a local translator,

arrive at the home of Adela Goering.

Holy [bleep].

It's no joke.

No, it's not.

Whoa, this just got real.

Could you tell me a little bit about your family?

Like, how they came to Argentina?

Walking up to your property,

I couldn't help but notice the swastika

that was carved deeply into that tree.

What's the story to that?

Sometimes she'd have words with the kids,

and in exchange for those words,

they left a swastika carved out on the tree

because of her maiden name.

They try and keep a very low profile.

She used to visit her doctor under her married name,

but one time the doctor, who was Jewish,

saw her maiden name,

and he refused to keep seeing her.

Because of that name, Adele Goering

is still associated, whether she likes it or not,

with being a Nazi.

Honestly, I felt kind of sorry for her.

She's scared of reprisals

for the things ther family did,

but we have to find out the truth.

You've lived in Misiones for a very long time.

Do you have any memory

of any other German families that had Nazi connections?

There were families

that were connected to the former Nazi regime,

and also they were receiving people

who were escaping from Germany.

Do you remember...

any things from your childhood,

if your father or you knew anyone

that was associated with any high-level Nazis?

The whole town was talking about it.

They're here looking for Hitler.

Unbelievable.

It'd be interesting to be here at low tide

and see how much room he really would have had.

narrator: In San Sebastian, Spain,

James Holland and Mike Simpson

are investigating a series of declassified files

that report that Leon Degrelle,

a close associate of Adolf Hitler,

was seen by the Fuehrer's side in Denmark,

before flying to this remote Spanish town.

I would not fancy coming to land on this beach,

I'll tell you.

narrator: They arrive at La Concha Beach,

where an eyewitness claims Degrelle landed

in May, 1945.

The first thing that I thought of when I looked at the bay

is how small it was from side to side

and how difficult it would be, especially with the islands,

to navigate an aircraft in here.

That's what jumped out at me right away.

- Hello. - Señor Ramon.

- Nice to meet you. - Mucho gusto.

narrator: The team makes contact with Ramon Barea,

whose father was a longtime resident of San Sebastian.

- Just rewind there a second. - What exactly did he see?

- Just here? - Just this point.

- Oh, really? - Yeah.

Fantastic.

Whoa, look at the damage on that, Mike.

You can see that one wing's been ripped off.

One of the engine's has come off that ripped-off wing.

It's been flipped completely upside down.

The whole back of the fuselage of the plane is broken.

And really, you look at that, and it just seems a miracle

that anyone could have survived.

Okay.

- Everyone survived? - Yeah.

In the final days of the war,

Hitler was in very, very poor health.

Given the evidence that we've seen of the crash,

had he been on that aircraft, he would not have survived--

had he been on that aircraft, which we think now he was not.

So, when Degrelle was done recuperating, where did he stay?

Even though everyone in town knew about the crash,

if I were in London or were in New York

and I was looking at the newswire,

I would have no knowledge of it whatsoever?

Nothing.

How was that possible?

All set up.

That's where we need to go, then.

From the initial reports

and after talking to our first witness,

it appeared that San Sebastian might simply be

a random crash site.

But after talking to the second witness,

and learning a little bit more about the infrastructure,

about the locals, and about the area,

it appears that this is an ideal destination.

And my gut tells me, even though Adolf Hitler

was not on that aircraft,

that this could be where Hitler wanted to go all along.

With the fog, we almost could have missed it.

narrator: Mike and James arrive

at the rumored Nazi communication building,

just five miles from the beach

where Leon Degrelle crash-landed.

Hola, Pablo. ¿Cómo estamos?

narrator: With the help of Pablo,

a local translator,

they make contact with Margarita Martin,

the current director of the site.

- Wow. - This is absolutely amazing.

- German manufacturer. - It's still working?

It's still here and still working.

Right from the start of World War II,

there were German troops here?

What equipment of the communications equipment's here?

Very long distances. - Okay.

- I'm gonna go up. - Okay.

narrator: While James investigates

the ground floor of the facility,

Mike heads to the roof to check out the radio tower.

It's an incredible view from up here.

Wow.

If I were planning on bringing the Fuehrer here,

a radio antenna that is on the hilltop

that overlooks the bay of San Sebastian

would be ideal.

In a matter of moments,

by communicating to the radio telegraph station downstairs,

that information would have been sent to any U-boat or plane,

piece of cake.

So what are all these?

- Science, you know? - In German.

Wow. Look at this.

1938. - Sí.

Where did Margarita find all this?

She found them upstairs hidden behind a wall.

- Behind a wall? - Behind a wall.

They had some problems with the rain,

so, yeah, they had to make some repairs,

and she found this secret compartment.

But why were they all being kept there secret?

To hide the collaboration with the Germans, obviously.

It was fascinating to see all this stuff.

The fact that this was all behind a false wall

poses a question--why?

What are they trying to hide?

Do we know if there were ever any visitors coming here?

In this visitors book,

we can see that this observatory

received many visits

from 1928 up to 1937,

and after this, we don't have anything else.

Everything is in white.

Those blank pages, they hold a secret there.

- Right. - Yeah.

As we're discovering, San Sebastian is a major hub

for the Nazi ratlines

for those trying to flee to safety.

We know that Leon Degrelle got here and was spirited away.

The tantalizing prospect is,

who else came here in the ruins of the Reich?

We have a crashed Nazi airplane in San Sebastian.

This is evidence. This was an exfil route.

narrator: Bob and John review the findings from Spain,

where the team has uncovered evidence

that Leon Degrelle crash-landed

in San Sebastian in May 1945,

after being spotted by Hitler's side days earlier,

as reported in declassified Nuremberg testimony.

Degrelle had a serious aircraft accident.

One thing's for sure-- Hitler was not on this aircraft.

As far as I'm concerned,

the investigation relative to whether or not

Adolf Hitler flew with Leon Degrelle

out of Denmark to San Sebastian,

we can put that theory to bed.

- Yeah. - But look what Franco did.

He took him in.

He gives him a Spanish identity

and allows Degrelle to continue to live there.

Franco felt that he should be hiding Nazis,

and he didn't care.

He clearly would hide Hitler.

I have no doubt about that, if Hitler showed up,

and he would have covered up right and left.

Maybe Degrelle may have been simply saying,

"Let's see if we can get an airplane to San Sebastian,

if we can get through Allied air cover."

It could be that Degrelle was making

a dry run for Adolf Hitler,

and Hitler may have used that same route at a later date.

San Sebastian is a hotbed of Nazi activity.

War criminals are fleeing there,

and they had access to worldwide communication.

It does raise the possibility that this could have been

a destination point for Adolf Hitler.

The other team has been able to interview Adela Goering

in Misiones, Argentina.

narrator: Bob and John shift their focus

to the South American leg of their investigation,

where they discovered a relative of Hermann Goering,

commander of the Nazi Air Force,

living in Misiones, Argentina.

What she does remember is being told many years ago

that people were in the area.

They were looking for Adolf Hitler

in and around Misiones.

It's amazing.

A couple miles

from the Nazi compound in Misiones,

there was a hunt for Hitler-- an active hunt for Hitler.

I think that's a huge clue.

This justifies us to continue the mission in this region.

I agree with you.

I mean, the evidence is starting to mount.

It's quiet.

Yeah, not a lot of people.

narrator: Investigative journalist Gerrard Williams

and his translator, Rune, make their way

through Santo Pipo in Misiones province.

It's just a couple of blocks from here,

so it shouldn't be that long.

Our initial research uncovered that the town

has a high concentration of Germans,

and we found evidence of Nazi activity.

So why would this town,

in the middle of nowhere, really,

have so many Nazis here?

We have a hell of a lot of digging to do.

So let's see what he's got.

Hey. both: Hola.

narrator: A local contact and journalist, Enrique Medina,

has been digging through archives for the team,

to try to uncover evidence

of hidden Nazi activities in the area.

Has he found anything out?

Okay. He found an article, really important here, he said.

Can we see it? - Sí.

He has it here.

Okay, it's written, like, 20 years ago,

and it talks about a guy, Zajer,

and he worked for a major Nazi close to Hitler, it says.

- Inner circle. - Yes, exactly--

in the inner circle of Hitler, yeah.

A major Nazi here, in Misiones?

Exactamente, aquí en Misiones.

So this man-- is he still alive?

He is not alive, the guy,

but the son of him is just living up here, actually.

¿Dónde está?

Bueno, queda acá justamente un par de cuadras nada más.

Just two blocks up here off the route.

Let's go find out what this guy knows.

Yeah.

It should be the house here.

Excuse me, I'm looking for Señor Zajer.

- Sí. - Emilio Zajer?

- That's Emilio Zajer. - Hi, nice to meet you.

About the presence of German Nazis here.

Your family, are they from Misiones?

Ah, his father was from Germany.

And when did he arrive?

He arrived here in 1940.

Would it be possible? Do you have some time?

There are many questions I'd like to ask you.

- Sí.Okay. - Vamos.

Thank you. Thank you very much.

What was your father's name?

Was his father a national socialist?

Did he like the Nazis?

Yeah, he was also a Nazi, yes, yes.

He always told him that he was a part of the Hitler Youth.

Emilio, did your father mention any names of Nazis

that he worked with or knew in the area?

There was another guy as well, with the name Edmundo.

He was an old parachute soldier. - Okay.

Your father, did he ever mention any senior Nazi

that he may have met?

Bormann? Bormann?

Martin Bormann.

Martin Bormann, Emilio, is meant to be dead in Germany.

He dies in 1945 at the Battle of Berlin.

Are you sure your father worked for Martin Bormann in Argentina?

Martin Bormann is the second most important man

in the Nazi world.

He's Hitler's number two.

He was the secretary of the Nazi party

and the man who ran the money.

And he's in Argentina. This is history-changing.

What exactly did your father do for Martin Bormann?

He tells that his father drove Bormann

to San Ignacio at some point,

and then Bormann just disappeared into the jungle.

San Ignacio is the closest civilized place

to the Nazi military complex that we found in the jungle.

It doesn't feel like a coincidence to me.

Incredible story, but it fits with so much else

that we've begun to learn again here.

We came to Argentina hunting Hitler.

What we've now discovered is that his deputy,

the most important man after Hitler

in the whole Nazi party,

Martin Bormann, was here.

Well, that's incredible information.

We have a gentleman in Argentina

who is telling the team

that his father was Martin Bormann's driver.

That's a hell of a statement.

narrator: Bob and John review the findings

from Misiones, Argentina,

where they have uncovered testimony that Martin Bormann

was living there after World War II.

Look what we have here-- a document dated May 14, 1948.

Bormann was considered to have secured absolute control

of the machinery of the Nazi party

by the end of 1944.

"This mole-like creature was insatiable

"in his appetite for reality of power.

"By his invariable presence,

"he gradually became indispensable to Hitler.

"He succeeded ultimately in removing all rivals

about his master's throne."

Martin Bormann ran the show.

He was Hitler's right-hand man, his consigliere.

Hitler didn't make any move, didn't do anything

without checking with Bormann.

Well, let me say, it's an extraordinary statement.

Historical record has it that Bormann died in Berlin.

He never made it out.

narrator: During the final days of the war,

Martin Bormann was by Hitler's side in the Fuehrerbunker.

On May 1, 1945,

a day after Hitler's alleged suicide,

Bormann and the leader of the Nazi Youth

attempted to escape Berlin, but hours later,

Bormann was believed to have been killed

by Soviet artillery near Lehrter Station--

a mile and a half from the bunker.

He's supposed to be dead in Berlin,

but the evidence is inconclusive.

There's no body. There's no forensics.

There was enough doubt that he died

that the War Crimes Tribunal in Nuremberg

prosecuted Martin Bormann in absentia.

I worked

for the International War Crimes Tribunal.

It's an immense undertaking.

It's an unimaginable undertaking.

And there's no way in my mind

that the Nuremberg War Crimes Tribunal

would have wasted resources and prosecuted Martin Bormann

and asked the court to convict him

if they didn't think he was alive.

When you have a man that says,

"Look, my father was Bormann's driver,"

it's really quite fantastic, but we have to run it down.

What we need to do is get somebody

who's got a handle on the facts of the case.

narrator: The team makes contact with Graeme Wood,

a journalist for "The Atlantic"

and lecturer at Yale University,

who spent nine years investigating the Bormann case.

We have come across a man

who claims his father was the driver of Martin Bormann.

In Misiones, Argentina.

I mean, what do you think about that?

It's possible.

I mean, we don't know what happened to Bormann.

There's evidence in both directions.

The official story is that he left the bunker

and died on the spot,

but there was no one there to witness that

except for the leader of the Nazi Party Youth,

and a lot of people

were unwilling to take his word or it,

including major historians who saw possibly an alibi

to get Bormann to safety.

In the 1960s, German authorities

excavate that area to look for Bormann's bones...

It was embarrassing for the West German government

to have a very, very important figure

from the Third Reich at large

and not being able to track him down.

For someone as prominent as Bormann to still be at large

would have been just one more way

of pulling Germany back into the past--

a past that it really didn't want to remember.

A few years later in 1972, the German authorities

for no real reason of new evidence

searched again in the area

where Bormann had allegedly died,

and miraculously after having searched

that area already in the 1960s,

in that very same spot, they found his bones,

and they said, "It's over. We found it.

No need to continue looking for him."

The DNA analysis showed that these bones

almost certainly were Bormann's.

The question is, were they always there?

Were they there from May 1, 1945?

But what's the evidence that he lived?

When people looked at those bones

the evidence was really not as clear

as I think many would have liked.

Also suspicious--there was the fact that the soil

that was attached to the bones

had a kind of red, iron-rich clay,

which is something

that you don't find anywhere in Germany...

We have a skull in Berlin

with clay that's only found in South America.

This is a potential major break in this investigation.

And then in 1999, the Germans decided

nobody would be looking at these bones in the future.

Like the Hitler case, there was no forensics.

There was no good evidence that he died.

They didn't have a body.

They didn't have a witness they could completely trust,

and the fact is that the forensics we do have are wrong.

That completely opens up this whole thing.

Bormann is sort of the key for Hitler's fate.

If Hitler did make it to South America,

he took people with him.

That's the bottom line, isn't it?

Martin Bormann very well may take us

one step closer to Adolf Hitler.

Let's look for a street name.

narrator: In Misiones, Argentina,

Gerrard Williams and Tim Kennedy

have uncovered a Nazi network

with potential connections to Hermann Goering

and Martin Bormann in the area.

We have to break this network down.

We have to see how deep it goes and where this web reaches.

- And who was here. - Yeah.

narrator: Now they have located the home

of a potential Nazi fugitive,

who may still be living in the area.

There was another guy as well with the name Edmundo.

He was an old parachute soldier.

We know that Misiones is flooded with Nazis,

senior Nazis, SS.

You name it, they were there.

We may have uncovered a living Nazi in this town.

We need to go talk to him.

I think it's on the other side, actually.

It's over here. There it is. - All right.

We have to approach this interview very carefully.

Take it slow, ease our way into the conversation.

- Buenos días. - Buenos días.

We're trying to find an Edmundo?

Edmundo is his father,

but he passed away some years ago.

Okay. Um...

We're researchers looking for some information

that your father might have known.

Could you talk to us for a few minutes?

Buscamos un poquito información sobre tu papá.

So we've heard

that your father was an important man in the area.

Can you tell us about your dad?

Where he was born, how he grew up?

Did your father ever speak about the war?

Did he ever talk about his time in service?

Do you still have them?

I'd love to see them. I really would love to see them.

Bueno.

This is his father.

- Luftwaffe wings? - Yeah.

Yeah, he's such a boy, just a little boy.

Sí.

For me, this is fascinating.

To actually see and touch the things

that are part of the history I've been working on so much

is just incredible.

He has some more medals he says, yeah.

It's an iron cross first class.

Hay otra.

This is the highest award for bravery.

And he seems to have two of them.

He's been awarded the iron cross twice.

This is one very brave man.

When did he come to Argentina?

So, now, it would also make sense

that your father was German,

could speak to the community here,

so there was a good client base.

And I suppose your father may well have treated

many former Nazis in his clinic.

The thing is, Alex,

is that after World War II,

your dad probably still feels under orders.

Whether or not he's part of the Nazi organization here,

I don't know.

You don't know either.

The only man who knows, he's no longer with us.

But for the Nazi party, 18-year-old boy, iron cross,

he's a poster boy.

Is there any information that you have

of people that your father would have known

that could have been high-level Nazis?

We're looking for names.

I need dates.

The thing is, is people don't like to talk

because they have something to hide,

and I know that your father's part of it.

I don't know.

Who's this?

What specifics can you tell me about this photo?

I need to know who took the photo,

when they took the photo, where they took the photo.

We have an alleged picture of an aged Adolf Hitler post-war.

To prove a picture like that's authenticity

is imperative, but if we're able

to prove that we have a photograph

of Adolf Hitler in Misiones,

that will be one of the most significant discoveries

in this investigation-- perhaps history.

narrator: Next time on "Hunting Hitler"...

- Look at that. - Yeah.

Wow, I was not expecting this at all.

Here we are, in a kitchen where the man

who facilitated the deaths of close to 11 million people

would make his morning coffee.

Ugh. Don't want to stay in here.

What was your mother doing for Nazi Germany?

Spying.

Whoa, right here. We got an opening.

That's an escape tunnel.

Holy...
