What intrigues me is Paraguay.

Even if half of those sightings are accurate,

he's doing something up there.

Like, we got to find this place.

Look at this fence.

Why do you need that out here?

Yeah, walls are very thick.

They're thick enough to stop a bullet.

This might be a guard shack.

Kennedy: From this one position alone,

you could almost lock down this valley.

This is where Adolf Hitler can stay safe and secure,

move his plans forward for the Fourth Reich.

**

We have been collecting evidence for three years.

I never thought we would get this far.

Narrator: CIA veteran Bob Baer

and former terrorist targeting officer Nada Bakos

are using an asset-mapping strategy,

following the known assets of Adolf Hitler

to determine where he could've gone after World War II.

Look at these photographs.

They review the findings from Salto Suizo, Paraguay,

where declassified files and an eyewitness report

led the team to a potential hideout

for Hitler deep in the jungle.

Look at this compound we found in Paraguay.

I mean, that place is defensible.

There's just simply no way you're going to get in there

and surprise anybody.

We've got completely controlled access.

We've got cliffs on all sides.

There's only one road in,

and it's blocked off by this guard house.

I mean, most people do not build guard houses

around their compounds.

This compound clearly fits all the parameters

that we were looking for.

Yes, all of these things would serve somebody

like Adolf Hitler,

and he could spend years living in this house

and in this compound,

and no one would know the better.

The problem is, the Nazis are not running operations

out in the middle of nowhere.

This place is too small, too provincial.

If you're building the Fourth Reich,

you need access to personnel,

communications and transportation

to actually run operations with money,

and the rest of it's got to be somewhere else.

Right.

So where are they operating out of?

Let's do a search and see what we got.

Look at this, CIA, Nazi war criminals,

espionage network in Latin America.

Latin America was parceled out among various agents.

Walter Rauff was assigned Chile

and Joseph Mengele Paraguay.

This is crucial because there's an organization here.

There is a structure.

They've divided up South America,

trusted SS officers that know what they're doing,

and they're in South America, not hiding but organizing.

This is a huge piece of the story

because it tells me those Nazi communities in South America,

they're a bunch of cells,

and they were connected by these senior leaders.

Walter Rauff in Chile

and Joseph Mengele in Paraguay,

they've divided up the Fourth Reich in South America.

Walter Rauff, SS officer,

designed mobile gas chambers responsible

for the death of 100,000 peopleing the Holocaust.

His whole life was about making murder efficient.

This guy was a huge danger to humanity.

Earlier in the investigation, we determined

with a fair amount of certainty Walter Rauff

was connected with Colonia Dignidad.

Colonia Dignidad is a secretive place

in the middle of nowhere, Chile.

It's not a question if Nazis were there.

It's, what were they doing there?

Simpson: This is major.

This is, like, a country within a country

where they can do anything they want.

Baer: The Colonia Dignidad,

you've got security, tunnels and bunkers,

reinforced communications equipment.

It's a big military camp.

Rauff is clearly a major player in the Fourth Reich.

If he's the Nazi in charge of Chile,

what else was he doing that we don't know about?

If we can figure out what Rauff was up to,

we're going to get to the beating heart

of the Fourth Reich.

-That's what it said.

Narrator: U.S. Army Green Beret Mike Simpson

and former U.S. Marshals Commander Lenny DePaul

land in Santiago, Chile.

-Hello, sir. -Hi.

Narrator: They meet with Pedro Mata,

a professor at Trinity College

who specializes in Latin American history,

to better understand Walter Rauff's role in Chile

after World War II.

DePaul: We wanted to talk specifics

with respect to a guy

by the name of Walter Rauff.

Mm-hmm.

I was at Colonia Dignidad, and, of course, on the surface,

Paul Schaefer was the man in charge,

but everything that I've seen in my investigation

has led me to believe that Walter Rauff

was the one pulling the strings there.

What was DINA?

Narrator: Formed under fascist dictator of Chile

Augusto Pinochet,

DINA was a secret police force started in 1973.

Its role was to silence all opposition,

often using extreme violence

similar to the tactics of the Nazis.

DINA sounds just like the Gestapo.

Doesn't sound like the Gestapo.

It is the Gestapo.

They're not just re-enacting the Nazi methodology in Germany.

They're extending it.

This continued right here in Chile.

Walter Rauff brought that Nazi playbook right here.

Pedro was able to get us into these archives

where apparently no one has ever seen these documents.

They were just recently released about 2 months ago,

so it is extremely important that we see this stuff.

We need to find out fully what the vision

was for Walter Rauff's Fourth Reich plans.

Look at this stuff.

**

DePaul: Page one. Wow.

All Nazi Germans, all wearing a swastika.

Look at this.

What were so many Nazis doing in Chile?

They were setting the table for something.

I mean, some of these photos, they're marching.

They're just not here collecting data

and going to church.

What were they training for?

Mm-hmm.

So they had plans to blow up the Panama Canal?

-Yes. -Geez, if that happened,

they would've crippled the Americans.

Unbelievable.

The Nazis right here in Chile

were going to take out the Panama Canal,

and that was U.S. territory into the '70s.

They were going to attack us on our own soil.

It talks about

that they were setting up communication nodes,

communication networks.

Communications, if you're going to run a spy network,

that is always key.

You see some of these photos.

You can see some of the radios.

Wow.

Mm-hmm.

So they had comms

throughout all of South America if needed?

It's pretty easy to control the entire country of Chile

if you got radios. You're talking to each other.

There's communications going on.

I was at Colonia Dignidad, and I saw the tower

that they have there with the radio antenna.

Wow.

We're about just shy of 3,000 feet up

off the valley floor.

I thought Colonia Dignidad was an isolated thing.

There was another camp.

Oh.

754 camps?

Wow.

Unbelievable.

Up until now, I had firmly believed

that Colonia Dignidad was an isolated incident.

The mere idea that there were as many as 754

copies of Colonia Dignidad, it's just mind-boggling.

This was Nazism in its purest and most evil form.

This goes much deeper than we'd ever imagined.

O0 C1Baer: Look what we found in Chile.

These guys down here are planning to blow up

the Panama Canal.

The Nazis were a lot closer to attacking us

from Latin America than they were from Europe.

Narrator: Bob and Nada review the findings

from the team in Santiago, Chile,

where a declassified CIA document

reports that Nazi war criminal Walter Rauff

may have been overseeing an operation

to prepare Chile for a Nazi Fourth Reich.

We know that Rauff was actually leading

the DINA secret police,

so they were using the Nazi skill set

to control the population

and to achieve whatever they wanted.

Don't you find this just, like, appalling,

that a mass murderer,

Walter Rauff, a wanted Nazi,

is running the secret police of an Allied country?

And not only that, we have reports

of almost 800 military camps in Chile.

I mean, 800 camps?

What were they doing?

If you look at Colonia Dignidad, it was a fortress in Chile.

What were they doing with the 800 other camps?

We don't know.

We got into Colonia Dignidad,

and it was amazing what we found there.

They're making arms.

They could've made biochemical weapons.

They were training.

I mean, I was astounded.

I had no idea that this sort of Nazi camp

existed in South America,

but now we're talking about 800 camps.

Imagine the power that they would've had in South America

if they had 800 Colonia Dignidads.

We need to find someone who can tell us more

about what's happening in these camps.

Yeah, you're right.

The question is, were these camps all connected

and coordinating?

There could've been Nazi camps set up across Chile

run by SS officers

that would give them infrastructure

to create the Fourth Reich.

**

After seeing just how horrendous it was firsthand

in Colonia Dignidad,

you don't want to believe that something

that terrible can be widespread.

Narrator: Mike Simpson and Lenny DePaul

land in Iquique, Chile, to investigate

the capabilities of the camps' spread across Chile

after World War II.

Simpson: We know that Colonia Dignidad

was literally one of the most evil places in the world,

and up until now, I had firmly believed

that Colonia Dignidad was an isolated incident,

but I'm shocked to hear that it was not,

that there were as many as 754 camps.

So now the question is, what was the specific planning

and implementation of the Fourth Reich

in these camps?

Narrator: The team makes contact with Hector Pavolich,

who was imprisoned at one of these camps

along with his family.

Hector? Hector?

Tomas. -Nice to meet you.

-Mucho gusto, señor. -Hola.

DePaul: We appreciate his time,

and tell him thanks for coming out to talk to us.

We very much appreciate it.

Simpson: We understand you spent some time in camp.

He was detained the 11th of September of '73.

He was a prisoner with his father

and after that with his mother.

-Mm.

-He was 22. -Okay.

How long was he in the camp?

He was 8 1/2 months in Pisagua.

Pisagua is the name of the camp?

When he says, "Camp," is it like a prison,

or what exactly went on there?

So the first thing when they arrived at the camp,

it was, like, beatings. Like, they...

-...just beat them up.

They had them locked down and tortured.

The camp had the presence of German Nazi.

German Nazis? I mean, who was it?

Walter Rauff was the guy who was in charge of everything.

Unbelievable. And he was torturing this man?

This is major because this confirms

that this was all part of a larger network.

Colonia Dignidad and this camp were related

and both under the command of Walter Rauff,

and this was not an isolated incident

we uncovered previously.

This was a network. -Wow.

Walter Rauff had a lot to do with these camps.

How much do you know about the level of control

that he had on the camps,

how much he participated in what went on there day to day

and how many of these camps he might've been supervising?

I need to see Pisagua. We need to see it.

Would it be possible for you to take us there?

And I know what I'm asking you is very difficult.

He's still alive is to tell what happened,

so he would be happy to take you.

-I appreciate your courage. -Yeah.

DePaul: Walter Rauff had a game plan.

He's here for something.

He's not sitting here running prisons

because he wants to be a warden.

He's looking at a Fourth Reich.

There's a plan in place, but to fully understand

what Walter Rauff wanted to do,

Mike and I need to get to Pisagua

and see what's going on there.

O0 C1**

Simpson: We're literally at the end of the world.

Narrator: Following a declassified CIA file

claiming that SS officer Walter Rauff

was overseeing the Nazi Fourth Reich in Chile,

Mike, Lenny and their translator, Tomas,

traverse the Atacama Desert towards Pisagua Prison Camp,

accompanied by Hector Pavolich,

a political dissident who spent 2 years imprisoned at this camp.

Simpson: As a minimum, there were 754 camps here in Chile.

This uncovers a whole new aspect to the Fourth Reich

that we had never seen before.

What were they doing?

**

**

Wow.

This is like a black-site prison

where you send people to disappear.

That's where they built the barracks for the camp.

So this is right here, right, right here?

Pavolich: Right.

Tomas: The barracks were made for the prisoners.

He only saw the sunlight, like, 15 days.

So in this area, they have machine guns put up to,

like, control the camp.

DePaul: Follow the Nazi blueprints.

Look at that.

Simpson: When they first brought you to the camp,

where was the exact spot where they unloaded you?

Right in front of the jail.

Would he mind taking us down there to get a closer look?

Narrator: Hector leads the team to the camp's central jail,

1/4 mile below the machine-gun overlook.

-Yes.

**

**

DePaul: Three stories high.

So how many people were imprisoned here?

Wow.

That's just mind-boggling just even picturing

that much humanity crammed into this small space,

using the same Nazi trade craft, just rounding them up,

putting them in camps.

So they made them stand here

before carrying them to the cells.

DePaul: Why?

They took their name aways,

and he became number 14.

They wouldn't even use your name?

You were just number 14?

This looks more and more like a Nazi prison camp

in every way from the layout to the way they processed

the prisoners, numbering and dehumanizing.

Everything is there.

This is the route they made them walk

to get to the barracks

for torture, blindfolded, tied up.

Narrator: The team heads 500 yards to the location

of the former prison barracks.

What did they do to you?

They had practically, like,

a lab with different torture systems,

terrible things here.

It's like the Nazis years ago.

Yeah, it's all the same. It's their manual.

When he was being tortured

in one of the first barracks here

when he was tied up like this,

they hit him with a stick.

The blindfold moved up,

and he saw on his right the Nazi flag,

on his left, the Chilean flag.

Nazi flag, doesn't get any more plain than that.

Carrying their colors.

What we're seeing here in Pisagua

is starting to remind us more

and more of what a Nazi concentration camp looks like.

It's all about control.

They want to silence the opposition.

If you opposed anything that this regime was trying

to incorporate,

you came here to one of these camps, and you suffered.

They're not only taking pages from the Nazi playbook.

They're flying their flag.

The ultimate price for no cooperation.

Narrator: Hector leads the team to the westernmost edge

of the compound,

the site of a massive graveyard.

Look at this.

Oh, my God.

It's a mass grave where he personally found the bodies

of the people that were executed in Pisagua.

Simpson: All right here?

Yes.

People that no one knew where they end at,

they were found here.

I'm immediately reminded of the mass graves,

you know, Auschwitz, Dachau,

Terezín, you know, all those places

that the Nazis would just line them up

and put bullets in the back of their heads

and just push them in and push the dirt over,

the way they brought them in, the way they numbered them,

the way they split them up, the way they dehumanized them,

tortured them right up

until the way they disposed of them

like they were nothing,

like they weren't even human beings.

This philosophy made it halfway around the world

and grew roots here

to a Nazi-style concentration camp

flying a Nazi flag.

DePaul: That whole Nazi ideology just continued on after the war.

These were not Nazis who had escaped to South America

to live out their days in obscurity.

They were brazen.

They were open, spreading their ideology

and cultivating a Fourth Reich,

what appears to be a violent,

iron-fisted control of the opposition,

even the most dangerous weapon, mass murder.

O0 C1 DePaul: That whole Nazi ideology, I mean,

it just got uplifted from Germany

and set down right here in Chile.

Yeah, just different coat of paint on it,

different language.

Narrator: After investigating a remote torture camp

run by high-ranking Nazi Walter Rauff,

who could've been responsible

for Fourth Reich operations in Chile...

...Lenny and Mike land outside of Santiago

where they prepare to make contact

with an anonymous informant,

the grandson of a Nazi war criminal

who previously shared thousands of never-before-seen documents

with Tim and Gerrard in Buenos Aires.

We understand that you have documents

that detail the movement of Nazis

in Argentina postwar.

I've not seen documents like this before.

These are proof

of these Nazis coming into the country.

This informant has now agreed to meet the team in Chile

and has told them that he has potentially history-changing

documents connected to Walter Rauff

and the Fourth Reich in Chile.

He's a credible source.

And we've vetted everything he's given us,

and everything he's given us so far...

-Yeah. -...has been completely correct.

Well, we'll see what he knows about Chile.

Yeah, this is it.

The team arrives at a private home where the informant,

along with his translator, Filipe,

has arranged to meet them under the condition

that his identity be protected.

-Nice to meet you. -Nice to meet you.

We appreciate you taking some time to come

and speak to us again.

Filipe: It's a pleasure for me to receive you.

Simpson: Well, it's very much appreciated.

What can you tell us specifically

about Walter Rauff operating in Chile?

These are some of the last documents

written in Nazi Germany.

How did he get his hands on these?

A family related to Rauff.

You received these from his family?

Certainly.

What is this?

Well, this is the last will,

the last personal will of Adolf Hitler.

Hitler's last will and testament.

Why are they here in Chile?

These are, like, microfilm.

And just looking at the first one, you can see on this,

there's the eagle and swastika right at the top.

Yep.

I don't speak German.

If you can give us a translation...

Adolf Hitler says that he wants every German,

every man, every woman, every soldier of Wehrmacht,

"Our task is the expansion of the National Socialist State

and the fight against the poison of the world,"

as he says, written and signed in Berlin,

April 29, 1945, at 4:00.

There it is in black and white.

Simpson: Right here before us

are the most important Nazi documents.

In the age before computer files,

microfilm was a way to shrink down documents

and make them easier to carry.

I've long known of the existence of these documents,

but to see the actual microfilm, it's chilling.

Narrator: On April 29, 1945,

the day before he reportedly committed suicide,

Adolf Hitler called his secretary

into his office in the Fuehrerbunker

and asked her to type up an important document --

his last will and testament.

Reportedly, three copies of the document

were sent by courier out of the Fuehrerbunker,

intended for Hitler's associates.

All three copies were intercepted by the Allies

in the days following.

We've always assumed that there were only three

because we captured three,

but I'm wondering is if there were more.

Was there a fourth copy?

We might be looking at it right now.

These documents leave the Fuehrerbunker

and end up in Chile.

Is that what you're saying?

But this is one of the highest secrets.

There was one of the last groups

escaping from the Hitler bunker.

-It's here for a reason. -Yeah.

It's not just to have a copy of it.

Right. What were they thinking?

What was their mind

Let's bring Adolf Hitler's ideologies to Chile,

or did Hitler himself come here?

Huge piece of the puzzle for us, huh?

It's no coincidence that these documents,

the last thing Hitler touched

before he reportedly committed suicide,

traveled the exact same route

that we have used to track Hitler.

It not only is proof that his escape route was possible,

but also, for the members of the Fourth Reich,

these documents would've been the equivalent

of the Ark of the Covenant.

This would've been their template,

their way forward for the Fourth Reich.

For some reason, Chile was chosen

as the ultimate destination.

This isn't all coincidental.

O0 C1Here's the last words of Adolf Hitler

in the bunker on the 29th of April.

For some unexplained reason, shows up in Chile.

Narrator: Bob and Nada review the findings from Chile

where the team made a groundbreaking discovery,

a potential photo negative of a never-before-seen

fourth copy of Adolf Hitler's last will and testament.

So you can see the colors, so...

-It's polyester. -Yeah.

Narrator: The team brought in a local expert

who was able to confirm the authenticity of the negative,

dating to the end of World War II.

I mean, this takes us back to ground zero,

the last time we know that Hitler was alive.

After the 29th, there was still stuff

coming out of the bunker,

and this is evidence of it.

What else got out of the bunker?

Somehow, a copy was smuggled out from Hitler's hand to Chile,

which tells me Hitler clearly had a rat line

out of Germany to South America,

and it worked very well.

You're not going to get a more direct connection than that.

The fact that this was in Chile and it made its way

out of the bunker signifies to me

that the network was alive and well.

They were using this document to continue

to spread the propaganda.

This isn't just Hitler's last will and testament.

I mean, this was his manifesto. -Yeah.

If you were going to go make the Fourth Reich,

you need a bible, and it's right here.

You can see that the Nazis were starting to spread

and take root.

Narrator: After a year-long investigation focused

on deconstructing Adolf Hitler's network around the globe,

Bob and Nada review their findings.

So I think this network approach really helped define

and fill in the picture around Hitler

and narrowed in on how he could've escaped.

I agree with you.

The network approach has, I mean, has paid off.

Hitler easily could've gotten out of Europe,

and he easily could've made it to South America.

And we found multiple redundancies

in these escape routes.

We found a strong northern route

and a strong southern route so that,

if one fell, he could fall back onto the other.

Plane could fly all the way from Europe into Argentina

where we know there are a dense population

of high-ranking Nazis.

Not only that, Hitler had protection

every place he would've transited.

Kennedy: Behind that door, you would find a total

of 3 1/2 miles of underground tunnels,

400 feet of solid rock above you right there.

That's enough to stop a nuclear bomb.

From this one position alone, you could walk this valley.

This is where Adolf Hitler could stay safe and secure.

He had the protection of fortified compounds,

and he had the protection of world leaders

from Franco, Perón, Stroessner, the Vatican.

Woman: There is documentatn the priests at the time

would rebaptize Nazis fleeing through the area.

This is where they were born again

and assumed a new identity.

And it's not just the political-leader support.

He's got support of all these loyal associates

to help him establish safe haven

and setting up clear plans for him to escape.

Kaltenbrunner is up here kind of waiting

to be the fall guy.

Meanwhile, everyone else,

including possibly Adolf Hitler himself,

is using all these better routes to get out of here.

It's a ship manifesto.

Last name on the list --

Joseph Mengele, Auschwitz's Angel of Death.

You look at the infrastructure.

You look at the assets he had available.

There has never been an escape network of this size

ever that I know of in history.

It's amazing.

Using asset mapping, I'm more confident than ever

that he could've made it to South America

and lived out his life and led the Fourth Reich,

but beyond that, the evidence all points to one route.

Baer: I'm pretty certain

I know the exact route Adolf Hitler took

when he left Germany and exactly where he ended up.

Now, I believe that this evidence we have

of Hitler's route out

is good enough to have somebody on the outside

to take a look at it.

We spent three years pressure-testing

the unclassified documents

and all these Nazi facilities.

Now it's time to have somebody

pressure-test our investigation.

We never expected a Hollywood ending to this.

There was going to be no finding Adolf Hitler in his uniform,

putting him in jail for life,

but what we wanted to get at was find enough evidence

that you could put it in front of a jury and get a conviction.

Only, it wouldn't be a conviction.

It would be, yeah, the guy got away, or he didn't get away.

It's the only way we can bring this to closure,

and to do that, we have to put this evidence to the test.

In my mind, there's only one thing left to do.

I want to take it outside of this room

and take it to the FBI.

I want to know if we have evidence hard enough

to say we think this guy got away.

In the CIA, we gather evidence,

and the FBI is a law-enforcement organization.

Intelligence agencies collect intelligence

and give it to the FBI

to decide whether they have enough evidence to pursue it.

From an intelligence perspective,

this is the way it's done,

and this is what we're doing.

We have evidence that he got out.

We have evidence of a route.

We are ready to prove our case.

We have been working around the clock for three years.

We've had dozens and dozens of people on the ground.

We have followed up every lead...

-Wow. -...on Hitler's disappearance,

and I think we've finally put together

this thread of the escape route,

and now I need to know whether I'm right or wrong.

O0 C1 Narrator: After a 3-year-long investigation

to uncover the true fate of Adolf Hitler

at the end of World War II,

CIA veteran Bob Baer has decided to put his theory to the test

by presenting his evidence to one of the nation's

most seasoned man hunters,

retired FBI agent Bobby Chacon.

-Good. Thanks.

Baer: Going to the FBI is the way it's done.

Intelligence agencies collect intelligence

and give it to the FBI

to decide whether they have enough evidence

to arrest somebody.

Let me start out by telling you where I'm coming from.

We started with 700 FBI reports.

We expanded it to intelligence services

all around the world.

After three years of doing this investigation,

I'm convinced Hitler could've gotten out.

I think we found a route.

So I think this is explosive,

but I've always been reluctant

to take this outside of the room

because you know as well as I do,

we were verging on conspiracy theory.

Right. Well, let's look at what you've got.

Let's look at what's come up with,

and we can go from there.

The escape route starts

in Berlin at his Fuehrerbunker.

There are multiple exits out of this bunker,

but we found an exit that was previously unknown,

the fifth exit.

Recently, I found an exit into a new tunnel

very close to the bunker.

Kennedy: Are you kidding me?

Now Hitler has got another way out.

Hitler could've gotten out using a tunnel

leading to a makeshift runway

where we have authenticated documents

corroborating the evidence.

DePaul: Boom, he's on this makeshift runway, and he's gone.

I've spent a career doing exfiltrations,

and that's the way I would do it.

It's a brilliant plan.

So you have a smaller plane possibly taking him where?

From Berlin,

he takes a short flight to a secure location,

Hohenlychen, Germany.

DePaul: Look at the size of this massive structure.

Williams: This is the size of a small town.

Hohenlychen at this point is not going to be bombed

because it's a hospital,

so putting Hitler there is a smart move.

Baer: And then we have eyewitnesses and documents

putting Hitler in the same place, Hohenlychen.

Teresa: Hitler came to visit

when she was working there in Hohenlychen,

and she had to take off Hitler's coat.

He was here more than once.

But by this point in the war,

there's no way that Germany is not going to completely fall,

so what he has to do is find a friendly country.

Where do we go next?

You look at Norway.

Norway is a place controlled by Nazis,

and that's all you need to know because,

every time we have a potential to put Hitler in a country,

the central government is in the control of pro-Nazis.

Kennedy: On the southern tip of Norway,

we have these lining the coasts.

You have a choke point.

Nobody can get in and out,

so what we're talking, 1945, after the fall of Berlin,

so what are they protecting here?

Baer: Narvik served as headquarters

for the command of all U-boats in Norway.

Narvik was bombed as late as May 4th.

Mm.

We cannot figure out why it was bombed.

There's no record.

I mean, the war is over.

I mean, supposedly, Hitler is dead.

Think they somehow had word he might be there?

And I don't like to jump to conclusions,

but you have to wonder.

We dove where the Allies bombed on May 4th.

We find a U-boat and a seaplane side by side.

And then we find a document saying the Nazis

are refueling seaplanes

in the middle of the ocean with U-boats.

These U-boats are serving as mobile gas stations

in the middle of the Atlantic.

That solves the problem of Hitler easily

and quickly getting to South America.

So he gets to South America, and where does he go?

Where does he feel safe?

And this is my favorite part of the story

is a compound called Misiones.

Misiones is the crown jewel in this plan.

You've got a Nazi compound in the middle of nowhere...

Kennedy: This feels like military barracks.

...evidence of troops being up there, guard shacks.

Plus he's got the political protection of Juan Perón,

the president of Argentina.

Have you ever seen in your career

a compound like this ever?

Never.

The person that resided here

didn't want to be seen.

But that's not the end of the story.

Perón falls in '55,

and suddenly, your compound is put in peril.

Where do you go?

You go to Paraguay.

We've got Stroessner, who's in charge of Paraguay,

and he was an open Nazi.

He's in power until '89,

way beyond the natural life of Adolf Hitler.

In Paraguay, we find Misiones 2.0,

another Nazi compound called Salto Suizo.

It's isolated.

It's got approaches that can be guarded.

This could be a perfect spot for an ambush.

It's got buildings that look like guard shacks.

Hitler could've been safe there forever.

This is the final piece of the puzzle.

I think this is explosive.

Like I said, I didn't think this was even conceivable,

but I do believe now

that he could've gotten out of the bunker

in the last days.

He could've been put on a seaplane,

and he could've been taken to South America.

What do you think?

I'm impressed.

I've worked cases that have been cold a long time,

and what you've done here

is you completely revived the case.

This is no longer a cold case.

To me, these are hot leads,

and you're right on his trail.

I've chased a lot of fugitives in my career,

and ultimately, I caught them

with less of a trail than you have here.

If we were sitting here three years after the war

in a time frame where Hitler was still alive

and you presented me with all the work

that your team has done on this case,

I would get a team of FBI agents ready

to travel to South America and go get the guy.

What you had to say I suspected

but was sort of afraid to say it.

You know, it's great. I love it.

I love it.

We have officially shot down the narrative

that Hitler died in the bunker.

It's simply a historical bias that people live with.

It's lies we like to tell ourselves

to make us feel better.

You always doubt the official narrative,

and I think we've blown holes in this thing from "A" to "Z,"

but this case is by no means closed.

Find me a body.
