Original subtitles

In May, 1945,

Adolf Hitler may have landed in San Sebastian, Spain.

If you're an escaping Nazi, this would be

a good place to come, clearly.

And the team has found a communication center.

In a matter of moments, that information

would have been sent to any U-boat or plane.

Piece of cake.

The team in Argentina established

a couple miles from the Nazi compound in Misiones,

there was an active hunt for Hitler.

Your father, did he ever mention any senior Nazi

that he may have met?

Bormann?

Martin Bormann, who is the second most important man

in the Nazi world.

This is history changing.

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

Martin Bormann may take us

one step closer to Adolf Hitler.

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

because they have something to hide.

Who's this?

We have an alleged picture

of an aged Adolf Hitler.

Okay, John, we got our two teams.

We got one in San Sebastian

and we've got the team in Argentina

looking into the compound.

male 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 moved from Germany

to San Sebastian in northern Spain,

they focus in on the South American leg

of their investigation, where they have uncovered

a potential piece of forensic evidence

from a small town in Misiones, Argentina,

just 50 miles from a reported Nazi militarized complex

in the jungle.

The investigative team,

they were able to uncover this photograph

that is ostensibly

one of Adolf Hitler from 1961.

Frankly, if this were really a picture of Hitler,

it would change history.

I mean, this is potential proof positive

that the guy got to Argentina.

But as soon as we get something like a picture,

my antennae go up like, "Uh-oh.

Gotta look into this."

A photo of Hitler in 1960--

I approach that with complete skepticism.

Until we can confirm-- get some sort of confirmation

on this picture,

it would be irresponsible

to show it on air.

It certainly looks like it could be Adolf Hitler,

but we have to be really careful with this.

We have great responsibility

that comes with this investigative undertaking.

My major problem with the photo is,

we just know so little about this.

Just because the photograph is found in Argentina

doesn't mean that's where the photograph was taken.

We don't know what it is.

It's our job to get to the bottom

of this particular photograph.

So I've ordered a forensic analysis of the photograph,

also to undertake the facial recognition.

narrator: Over the last 72 hours,

Animetrics Technologies has analyzed

the potential photograph of Adolf Hitler in Argentina

after World War II.

Their state-of-the-art facial recognition software

is used by law enforcement and military agencies

around the world.

They're scanning the images.

There's an algorithm

and it gives a percentage of what are the odds

that the two images match.

narrator: They have shared the results

of their examination with the team.

What we're able to learn

from undertaking that type of forensic examination,

as well as our own reconnaissance,

our own independent research,

we determined that

this is not a photograph of Adolf Hitler.

As someone who's done a lot of work--

forensic work with photographs, I can tell you,

this wasn't Adolf Hitler that was taken in the 1960s.

That's okay. That's what we do.

We had to investigate it.

We did investigate it. We move on from there.

All I can do is deal with the evidence

as it comes across my desk.

It's like I'm sitting back at Langley.

We're trying to figure out what's going on.

Now, we don't know the origin of this photograph,

but on the surface, it absolutely looks like

an aged Adolf Hitler.

So I completely understand how if you were in a small town

in Argentina and all these sightings of Hitler

are happening all around the world,

and you come across this photo,

of course you'd think it was Hitler.

But at the end of the day,

we have to separate the good evidence from the bad.

Okay, John, let's go to Spain, San Sebastian.

narrator: Bob shifts focus to the European leg

of their investigation.

In San Sebastian, Spain, they have uncovered evidence

that suggests high ranking Nazis

were fleeing to the area after World War II,

including a close associate of Adolf Hitler

arriving by plane in May, 1945, after being spotted

by the Fuhrer's side just one day earlier.

If you're flying out of Nazi Germany in May, '45,

you're not gonna just, you know,

land in some airport anywhere in the world

hoping you'll be okay.

You got to go someplace where you got a network.

This is a place that had the infrastructure,

the personnel, the communication equipment.

If Hitler had lived, the answer to the question

as to whether or not San Sebastian

would have been a place for him to arrive by plane

is unquestionably yes.

The next question is, "Well, where did he go from there?"

So let's take a look in the database

and see if we can find some intelligence

that intersects Hitler

and San Sebastian or just Spain in general.

"Hitler." "Spain."

Enter.

Here we go.

This is a German document.

"Special order prepared by Heinrich Mueller."

Chief of the Gestapo.

"20 April, 1945.

"Subject: Fuhrer's special trip to Barcelona.

"The members of the Fuhrer's entourage are:

"The Fuhrer, Reichsleiter Bormann."

There's something going on here.

You know, what's unique about this document,

it's an internal German military order

issued ten days before Adolf Hitler

is alleged to have committed suicide.

It's an incredible find.

For me, this is a huge piece of evidence.

The head of the Gestapo was clearly planning

an exfiltration of Hitler and his closest advisors.

Internal documents belong to a government.

It's something very secret.

So I think right through April,

the whole system is geared to get Hitler out.

We've always theorized that if Bormann indeed escaped Berlin,

and if Hitler didn't commit suicide

on April 30, 1945,

perhaps they would be together.

This document does show the intent to the people,

and that intent is for the Fuhrer

and Martin Bormann to flee to Barcelona together.

You're right, and what is in Barcelona?

Is this even credible that you would send Hitler there?

Let's go to Barcelona and find out what type of evidence

we might be able to generate

in relation to this "Fuhrer's special trip."

Oh, I think absolutely.

I'm really intrigued to know

what the German setup was here.

narrator: World War II historian,

James Holland,

and U.S. Army Reconnaissance expert, Mike Simpson,

arrive in Barcelona.

Talking about every aspect,

there's a lot to like about Barcelona--

location wise, population center wise.

Infrastructure.

If there was an existing escape plan for Hitler,

it would have almost certainly been set up by Bormann.

Absolutely.

narrator: The team meets with David Rodriguez,

a local expert on Nazi movement in Spain,

at the Gran Teatre del Liceu, originally built in 1847.

I'm really intrigued to know why we're

in this particular theater.

20,000 Germans, and he said they know for a fact

that at least 500 of them

were known and active spies of the Nazis.

- Oh. 500? - Right.

Okay, so I think we're in the right place.

It seems clear that, yes, there was definitely

organization here in Barcelona.

There were 500 spies and leading Nazis.

You know, that's an awful lot.

Clearly something big was going on here.

Oh, look at this.

Look at it.

Where we're looking down, the high ranking Nazis

that would be here, this is where you would see them.

Specifically, they would have the honored seats up front.

This was a very permissive environment

for those Nazi expats living here at that time,

and we're talking about a population of 20,000,

ten times what we were talking about up in San Sebastian.

If this is what's going on above the water,

it's anybody's guess what's going on below the surface.

Whew.

Gosh, it's stunning, isn't it?

Absolutely stunning.

Where there any really notable Nazis

that came here to Barcelona?

Bormann's plan was to set up infrastructure

to support fleeing Nazi officials

should the Third Reich lose the war.

They were prepared to support them,

they were prepared to support Hitler,

they had prepared false documentation,

and Franco had even designated members of his own guard

that would work in a security capacity.

Right. So let me just get this absolutely clear.

Before the end of the war,

Bormann had set up a plan for Hitler's escape.

The more we peel back the layers,

the more this is looking like exactly what we're looking for.

Martin Bormann was scouting out locations for a ratline

to get the Fuhrer out of Germany and into a safe haven.

He says on the 10th of August, 1944,

many wealthy German expats as well as many Nazi officials

under the supervision of Martin Bormann met

to plan the formation of--

Die Spinne-- literally the translation

in German is "the spider,"

and it was an escape and evasion network

with absolutely the top of the Nazi chain.

There were lots of rumors and stories about it.

That's a massive eye opener.

This is adding up very nicely for me.

Our team has uncovered that Martin Bormann

was in contact with people in Barcelona

relative to this secret organization,

Die Spinne, the Spider Network.

narrator: Bob and John review the findings from Spain,

where they are following a declassified Nazi document

outlining a secret trip for Adolf Hitler

and Martin Bormann to Barcelona

days before they were believed dead.

This Die Spinne network was set up

to facilitate the exfiltration of Nazi war criminals.

What really strikes me is they have this plan

before the end of the war.

Die Spinne is the mother of all ratlines.

It had a massive infrastructure

to support the elite members of the Nazi party.

The question remains is

how far did this network actually reach?

Let's find out.

Look up "Die Spinne."

Well, here we have a CIA document.

"Eichmann was in close contact

"with the underground group Die Spinne.

"It is believed that he also financed

"from his stocks this underground movement

"and paid for the international travel expenses

of wanted war criminals."

Eichmann is a new piece of this puzzle.

narrator: Adolf Eichmann was one of Hitler's

closest allies

and a major organizer of the Holocaust.

During the war, Eichmann was responsible

for facilitating the mass deportation of Jews

to concentration camps throughout Europe.

In 1950, he fled to Buenos Aires, Argentina,

where he lived in a modest house

and worked for Mercedes-Benz

under the alias Ricardo Klement.

In 1960, he was captured by the Israeli Mossad

and sentenced to death.

If somebody like Eichmann,

one of the most wanted men in the world,

actually got out using the web, Die Spinne,

I think we just have to consider that network

was also intended for Hitler to use in his escape.

Absolutely.

Everybody knows that Eichmann lived in Buenos Aires,

but here we have a document that says there's rumors

that Eichmann actually lived in a safe house

in northern Argentina in a province called Tucumán

prior to moving to Buenos Aires.

"Tucumán."

Tucumán is out in the middle of nowhere,

and then you go across--

in a equally remote area is Misiones.

We have to consider the possibility

that Tucumán was simply a staging area

while the compound in Misiones was being built.

This compound in Misiones, very complicated.

This took a lot of time and money, but in the meantime,

you can't wait for Misiones to be built,

you got to go to a place like Tucumán.

What I think we need to do is to get the team into Tucumán.

If he had a safe house there,

there's potential evidence there.

The sooner they get there, the better.

Well, we're 1,400 miles from Buenos Aires,

up in the northwest province of Argentina.

This is--this is a whole new level of isolated.

narrator: Investigative journalist, Gerrard Williams,

and U.S. Army Special Forces, Tim Kennedy,

make their way through the winding roads

of Northern Argentina.

So Eichmann manages a whole ten years in Argentina

before he's picked up.

He lives under the name Ricardo Klement.

There's no way that Adolf Eichmann on his own

would have decided to come to this part of Argentina.

He must have been sent here by Die Spinne.

Could this house be a safe house

where people are dropped off before they moved on?

That's what we've got to go find out.

We are coming close now, guys. Almost there.

narrator: Their local contact, Rune,

has uncovered what could be the location

of Eichmann's rumored safe house in the area.

Here we are.

Creeps me out.

Let's see what we can see.

It's locked, but it's vacant.

narrator: With the team unable to gain access

to the potential safe house,

they make contact with neighbor Francisco Valdez.

Do you know the family that lived in this house

in the '50s?

He lived here, yes, with his family.

Does he know the name of the family?

Adolf Eichmann.

Why was he here?

Who put him here? Who did he work for?

Does that ring any bells?

It's German owned, partly Argentine staffed.

Company that's involved in major infrastructure projects.

- In Argentina? - Yeah.

CAPRI is a company that is owned by a former SS captain,

except you're never a former SS anything.

You are SS until you die.

They run huge infrastructure projects all over the world

in exactly the same way as they did for the Nazis.

What was CAPRI doing here?

They made tunnels, he said.

They were, like, cutting out in the mountains.

They were making tunnels in the mountains?

Yeah, they were making some tunnels.

Adolf Eichmann's up here tunneling into mountains?

What the hell's all that about?

Do you know if these tunnels still exist?

Okay.

Eichmann was here digging tunnels

into the side of the mountains in secluded Northwest Argentina.

If Hitler would have come here and used this as a safe house,

he would need multiple routes for evasion.

Look at these mountains. Look at that view.

It's quite incredible.

Maybe these tunnels were built as an escape route.

That's where I have to go next.

I feel good about Barcelona, you know,

we've got documents related to it.

Bormann was intimately tied to Die Spinne.

narrator: While the team continues to investigate

the Eichmann safe house in Tucumán, Argentina,

Bob and John discuss the Spanish leg

of their investigation,

where a declassified Nazi document outlines

a secret trip for Adolf Hitler

and Martin Bormann to Barcelona

days before they were believed dead.

In Barcelona we know there were Nazis there,

and we know there's a German culture there.

It was open for Hitler,

but where do you go in Barcelona?

You just don't show up there and walk around the streets.

We need to find out which safe houses, which routes,

which infrastructure was used

to facilitate the fleeing war criminals.

I think we need to dig into the database

and see if we can find some information.

There we go.

This is coming out of an MI6 file

reported in October 22, 1950.

"Bormann is without a doubt the brain behind Die Spinne.

"He is known, rather ironically, as The Great Eminence

"because of the robes worn by the monks

at his monastery hideout in Spain."

Hey, look, it's been documented totally

that the Vatican helped the Nazis.

So, I mean, we are within the parameters of reality here

narrator: After World War II,

an intricate system of escape routes

throughout Spain, known as the ratlines,

were established to help Nazi war criminals flee Europe.

According to a 1947 American embassy memo,

these ratlines were allegedly supported

by the Catholic Church

by providing false documentation

in places of refuge at local monasteries.

You know, the question is which monastery?

We've got hundreds of them around Barcelona,

but which one would he go to?

Let's see if we can find an answer to that.

Look at this.

It's coming from the Federal Minister of Justice,

West Germany,

and it goes on to say, "Martin Bormann is living

"in the Saint Benedict monastery at Montserrat near Barcelona

where he found sanctuary with the Vatican's consent."

I mean, John, when you look at this,

you got Barcelona here, right on the coast.

And then you go up to here is Montserrat.

Montserrat is approximately 25 miles from Barcelona.

You are really in the mountains here.

We need to know whether Montserrat,

this particular monastery, had any Nazi connection.

Number two is can you actually hide out there?

Because it's a monastery doesn't mean you can just move in.

I mean, was there a place

that he would feel comfortable and safe?

I agree. Next stop is Montserrat.

Well, this is spectacular scenery, isn't it?

It's beautiful.

narrator: James Holland and Mike Simpson head

for the Montserrat monastery

deep in the mountains, an hour's drive from Barcelona.

And it's amazing, after the hubbub of Barcelona,

suddenly you're so kind of remote, aren't you?

On the drive up I think tactical advantage

right off the bat.

One road alone provides access.

Very easy to control.

Look at that.

Oh, it's such an amazing view.

The monastery was absolutely stunning.

These beautiful mountains, strange rock formations,

and there's this Benedictine monastery

kind of sort of tucked away beneath this kind of rock face.

A Nazi war criminal would want somewhere discreet,

out of the way, and very well protected.

Frankly, he couldn't ask for a better place.

Hola, Padre. Me llamo Mike.

narrator: The team makes contact

with Friar Hilari Raguer, the monastery's historian.

Himmler is one of the absolute top Nazis.

He is the head of the SS.

He's incredibly important. Why would he come here?

Ah. Himmler said

to one of the monks, "We want to see the mountain.

We're interested in the mountain."

These are extensive?

Very extensive.

Before the Nazis would have fully committed

to using this site, they would have had to do

what's known as a site survey

and assess the value of this site.

Normally, this could have been performed

by any mid-level military officer,

but in this case it was Himmler himself.

That tells me that this place was very important.

- Look at this. - Yeah, we're there.

- Gosh, look at this. - Look at that.

That's pretty big, isn't it?

When he said expansive,

he really, really meant expansive.

If you're in Spain and the war's over,

the monastery itself

would have been a perfect location

to keep people on a temporary basis.

And now, added bonus of these caves.

Wow.

Well, you could easily hide someone in here, couldn't you?

There literally could not be a better spot to hide

safely away from the eyes and ears of your enemies.

You want to have that out, and the caves are that out.

narrator: At Tucumán, Argentina...

He said this direction, but it's vague.

narrator: Tim Kennedy investigates

the area surrounding Adolf Eichmann's safe house

in search of rumored tunnels

that could be connected to Die Spinne,

an organization to support the escape

of the highest ranking Nazi war criminals,

as reported by a declassified CIA file.

When I heard the Nazis were in the mountains

digging tunnels, immediately,

especially considering that this could be a safe house,

I'm thinking of escape routes.

I need to get inside of these tunnels

at night to really try to discern

what they were doing here.

narrator: While Tim scouts the mountain

for a tunnel entrance...

- We found the key. - Ah, good stuff.

- Here we go. - Okay, muchas gracias.

narrator: Gerrard Williams gains access

to the interior of Eichmann's safe house.

Here we are in a kitchen

where the man who facilitated the deaths,

industrial mass murder, of--

Close to 11 million people,

would make his morning coffee.

And that's chilling, even if he was

only here for a couple of years,

I still find it chilling.

Ugh! Don't want to stay in here.

The old man said that the tunnel entrance was

in the valley.

Where is this thing?

I can see something.

We might have something right here.

Holy [bleep].

We got a tunnel.

I have no idea what's back there.

It could be treacherous in there, truly dangerous.

In tunnels there's pockets of gasses

that we can't control. Some of those are toxic,

but I have to find out where it goes,

so I brought a self-contained breathing apparatus with me

and enough air that I at least know

I can get in and out.

I'm lead. You guys stay behind me.

Looks like a wall right in front of us.

I can see a little bit of light popping through.

I'm gonna go check that out and see where that goes.

We got a couple of chambers.

They're cutting off multiple tunnels.

All right, we have--

at this intersection right here you can see,

right here, these archways.

This is a corridor. This was planned.

This was built specifically for the movement of people.

A massive tunnel system.

narrator: Roughly 200 meters

from the mountain base entrance,

Tim runs into an intersection

leading to three distinct, man-made pathways.

Tunnels like this, going straight into bedrock.

That takes time.

That takes money. That takes backing.

If these tunnels were built as an escape route,

they did it well.

We're a few hundred meters from that intersection,

you know, maybe 500--400 or 500 meters from the entrance,

and we still don't even have a way out.

Straight ahead.

Oh, I see some light up there.

It looks like it's filled in.

Oh, we're gonna have to switch back.

We won't be able to go much further.

It's starting to smell bad.

I'm not sure I want to go much further like this.

Man, we're gonna-- I'm gonna put my mask on.

I don't want to go any further breathing this air.

This is a complex tunnel system.

You're trying to track a fugitive that's evading you,

and he runs in that tunnel, if you try to follow him,

that's dangerous.

I have tunnels that are dropping off.

I have tunnels that are going to dead ends.

If you don't know where you're going through that tunnel,

you could be lost.

Watch your footing right here. Slow down.

This goes straight down,

but right here, we got an opening.

Whoa.

We have an entrance near the Eichmann house

and an exit on the opposite side of the mountain

at a lower elevation by the water.

That's an escape tunnel.

You know, I came here to find evidence of infrastructure.

We found it. That's what this is.

Well, we sent the team up to Tucumán,

looking for this potential safe house

Eichmann was supposed to have lived in.

The team was able to locate this house,

and they learned Eichmann was working

for a company called CAPRI,

and that they were digging tunnels through a mountain,

and the team was able to go through the tunnel.

What did they find on the other side of that mountain?

An opening that goes down to lower elevation

and right there's a river, a method of escape.

So these guys built this tunnel

for a damn important reason.

In Tucumán we found a tunnel.

A place to go underground.

Clearly, Eichmann intended to make an escape route.

So while Misiones was being constructed,

Tucumán could be the perfect staging area for Hitler.

Let's go back to Barcelona.

narrator: Bob and John discuss the other leg

of their investigation in Barcelona, Spain.

You certainly have the possibility of hiding out

in the mountains in, like, these caves, the monastery.

Himmler was at this monastery. He would have known about it.

They're Nazis.

We determine that Barcelona's interesting

for a safe house and for meetings,

but for Hitler to escape, he needs to get

out of Spain and go to South America.

What is the point of exit or egress from Spain?

That's where we have to go, find the most likely place for that.

Yeah, I agree. I mean, it's you know--

Look, we looked at Vigo. It was a possibility.

But you simply can't narrow it down to one particular base.

What if in the meantime you're in Vigo

and there was an American battleship

parked off the coast?

You have to have multiple exit routes.

You have to, in the middle of a plan,

be able to alternate.

You do not have one exit.

You have to have a second exit, and a third, and a fourth.

You're always worried about an ambush.

If Vigo is plan A or plan B,

what's plan C or plan D?

I, you know, I think we should, you know,

start getting into the documents and look

and see if there are any other U-boat bases

and whether they were active in May of '45.

"U-boat."

"Spain."

All right, we've got something here,

a now declassified Argentinean intelligence document.

We see here that Ludwig Freud,

an agent of the Third Reich,

stated that, "on 7, February, 1945,

"a U-boat brought to Argentina huge funds

"to help in the reconstruction of the Nazi empire,

having sailed from Cádiz, Spain."

They're saying money here, but just as easily

you could have been putting people

on a U-boat out of Cádiz.

Yeah, what's going on at the Gulf of Cádiz?

We're no longer in the Mediterranean.

It gives a clear shot to the Atlantic.

Yeah, it's the only other way out.

The question is, though, are there any U-boat bases here?

Yeah, yeah, you find me a U-boat dock here,

I'll be very happy.

That'll make two of us.

Look at all these bunkers, Mike.

Yeah, look at this. You got here, here--

There's lots of them. Lots and lots.

narrator: In the province of Cádiz, Spain...

That's amazing.

narrator: James Holland and Mike Simpson

are joined by local historian, Alfonso Escuadra.

You know, from down on the ground,

you don't really realize how important it is.

this is a maritime choke point,

so you control access in and out of the Mediterranean

from right here.

What I'm really intrigued to know, Alfonso,

is how much of a foothold have the Nazis

got here during World War II?

- Really? - Yeah.

Amazing.

This is huge.

We have photographic evidence

of a German U-boat in the port of Cádiz.

That means that Hitler could have had a support network

operating in the area, as well as bases

to service U-boats.

That's what we need to find out--

where exactly these locations are

and to what extent they were used.

Do you know of any place that might have been used

as a clandestine base for the U-boats?

Can you think of anybody who might have

more information about U-boats

and about their operation in the area?

Well, we should definitely try and talk to her.

This is looking quite tasty.

This looks like the place.

narrator: In the province of Cádiz in southern Spain,

James Holland and Mike Simpson are investigating

a declassified Argentinian document

that reports German U-boats were sailing from this area

to Argentina in the final months of the war.

German U-boats were operating in Cádiz

but we still don't have an exact location yet.

We're definitely in the right area,

but that's what we need to pin down.

narrator: In search of a possible location

that Hitler could have used to load onto a U-boat in Cádiz,

the team arrives at the home of Liana Romero,

whose mother was rumored to be connected

to Germans in the area.

We've been told that your mother had

a very interesting time here during World War II.

Oh, really? So she was Russian?

Si.

So she signed up as an agent for the Abwehr?

- Correct. - Which is the German

secret intelligence service.

And in what year?

'41.

And what was it specifically

that your mother was doing for Nazi Germany?

Did your mother keep anything from her years as an operative?

Did she keep any communiqués or notebooks,

or anything like that that we could take a look at?

Liana's mother was placed in the time period

that I am interested in and in the exact location

that I am interested in,

but we need an actual point

that you could put a high value target

such as Adolf Hitler onto a U-boat.

- So this is your mother? - Si.

So striking, isn't she?

Gosh, it's tiny.

So this is a Minox camera. I'm familiar with these.

Minox is a German company, and these were great

because they could focus not only on documents,

but you could also take pictures of objects,

you know, a ship going by or something like that.

This is basically the original spy camera.

Really, this is the first time

I've seen one outside of a museum.

So what we're looking at here, James,

this is an Astra 400 9 millimeter pistol.

- Mm-hmm. - These were manufactured

here in Spain, late '30s early '40s.

Oddly enough, most of these were actually exported.

- Right. - And guess where

they were exported to?

- I don't know. - Germany.

This was a very preferred Luftwaffesidearm.

These fit perfectly with everything I know

about the tradecraft.

It was exactly what spies of that time used

and makes the fact that Liana's mother was a Nazi spy

very reliable indeed.

So, Liana, was there anyone here

that your mother became acquainted with or knew

who had contact with the highest Nazis?

Yeah.

- Really? - Whoa.

- He-- - He was a camp doctor?

And he was a German?

Ah, okay.

Do you have any specific knowledge,

or even just rumors

of him helping German officials who were fleeing?

N--not that I know.

James and I are looking for specifically someplace

that could facilitate clandestine U-boats.

Is there anything you might be aware of?

Reina Christina.

It's still there?

We're in Cádiz specifically to find a location

that Hitler could have used as a U-boat exfiltration point.

Now we have a hotel crawling with spies.

We have to investigate this.

You could see why you would have

so many spies here.

So the question's where does that go?

Wow. I was not expecting this at all.

If Hitler and Bormann were planning a Fourth Reich,

they're gonna have munition factories just like this.

It's clear that a Fourth Reich was planned.

Now we just need to find the brain--

the headquarters for the Fourth Reich.

Look at this.

If they were making explosives here,

whenever they stopped, doesn't look like

they started cleaning up.

Analyzing explosive test card...

Holy [bleep].
