1
00:00:03,671 --> 00:00:07,006
In the context of looking
for Hitler's escape route,
2
00:00:07,108 --> 00:00:09,742
we are now getting into
specifics for the first time.
3
00:00:09,844 --> 00:00:13,512
A certain ex-Luftwaffe pilot,
Captain Baumgart,
4
00:00:13,614 --> 00:00:16,782
swore under oath
that he flew Hitler
5
00:00:16,884 --> 00:00:21,353
from Berlin on 29 April 1945.
6
00:00:21,455 --> 00:00:23,200
- Maybe there really is
a plan B,
7
00:00:23,224 --> 00:00:26,225
a plan C, and a plan D
that we don't know about.
8
00:00:26,327 --> 00:00:28,761
- You have here
the Fuehrerbunker.
9
00:00:28,863 --> 00:00:33,198
Just 20 to 25 meters away,
10
00:00:33,300 --> 00:00:35,801
I found an exit
11
00:00:35,903 --> 00:00:38,303
very close to the bunker.
12
00:00:38,406 --> 00:00:40,183
- Now Hitler's got
another way out.
13
00:00:40,207 --> 00:00:43,208
- A plane which was piloted
by Hanna Reitsch
14
00:00:43,310 --> 00:00:46,478
flew out of Berlin
from the Brandenburg Gate.
15
00:00:46,580 --> 00:00:47,824
- It looks like it was a runway.
16
00:00:47,848 --> 00:00:49,748
It was a makeshift runway.
17
00:00:49,850 --> 00:00:51,528
- Hanna Reitsch, she's able
to fly a plane
18
00:00:51,552 --> 00:00:53,230
in and out of here
on April 28th.
19
00:00:53,254 --> 00:00:55,087
Allegedly, on April 29th,
20
00:00:55,156 --> 00:00:56,700
Baumgart flies Hitler
out of here.
21
00:00:56,724 --> 00:00:58,957
But what about these lampposts?
22
00:00:59,060 --> 00:01:01,493
How you gonna get wings
of an airplane down here?
23
00:01:01,595 --> 00:01:04,229
- We generate a 360-degree
spherical image.
24
00:01:04,331 --> 00:01:05,731
- You can see everything.
25
00:01:05,833 --> 00:01:07,166
- Look what they've got here.
26
00:01:07,268 --> 00:01:08,967
- You're actually talking about
27
00:01:09,070 --> 00:01:11,737
a defensible militarized zone.
28
00:01:11,839 --> 00:01:13,639
- Misiones, Argentina.
29
00:01:13,741 --> 00:01:15,474
- That is huge.
30
00:01:15,576 --> 00:01:17,696
- Why is this
in the middle of the jungle?
31
00:01:17,745 --> 00:01:19,445
- The person that is using this
32
00:01:19,547 --> 00:01:22,107
is protected by the people
that are using that.
33
00:01:24,131 --> 00:01:27,131
HUNTING HITLER - SEASON 2
EP - 2 - The Compound
34
00:01:30,558 --> 00:01:32,124
- I just think Misiones,
35
00:01:32,226 --> 00:01:34,493
it's just, like, bizarre.
36
00:01:34,595 --> 00:01:36,440
I mean, who was living up there?
37
00:01:36,464 --> 00:01:37,741
And for what reason?
38
00:01:37,765 --> 00:01:38,942
And what were they protecting?
39
00:01:38,966 --> 00:01:40,599
Bob Baer
40
00:01:40,701 --> 00:01:42,612
and war crimes investigator
Dr. John Cencich
41
00:01:42,636 --> 00:01:45,037
are overseeing
a dual-pronged investigation
42
00:01:45,139 --> 00:01:47,339
while the European team
investigates
43
00:01:47,441 --> 00:01:49,608
a reported escape by Hitler
from Berlin
44
00:01:49,710 --> 00:01:51,844
the day before
he was believed dead.
45
00:01:51,946 --> 00:01:54,680
Bob and John focus in
on the South American leg
46
00:01:54,782 --> 00:01:56,148
of their investigation.
47
00:01:56,250 --> 00:01:58,650
In the jungles
of Misiones, Argentina,
48
00:01:58,752 --> 00:02:00,992
they have uncovered
four mysterious structures
49
00:02:01,055 --> 00:02:02,554
in the same area
50
00:02:02,656 --> 00:02:04,957
that a declassified
Argentinian document
51
00:02:05,059 --> 00:02:08,360
reports the presence
of a Nazi militarized outpost.
52
00:02:08,462 --> 00:02:10,607
- We have found there a compound
53
00:02:10,631 --> 00:02:14,166
that could have protected
somebody of Hitler's stature.
54
00:02:14,268 --> 00:02:16,446
I've never seen
anything like this.
55
00:02:16,470 --> 00:02:18,904
You've got the buildings,
56
00:02:19,006 --> 00:02:21,306
all these Nazi artifacts.
57
00:02:21,408 --> 00:02:23,342
You've got a barracks.
58
00:02:23,444 --> 00:02:26,378
You've got military bullets.
59
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:28,180
And then you've got china.
60
00:02:28,282 --> 00:02:32,017
I mean, who takes china
into the middle of the jungle?
61
00:02:32,119 --> 00:02:33,685
For what reason?
62
00:02:33,787 --> 00:02:37,256
I want somebody to explain to me
what this compound was
63
00:02:37,358 --> 00:02:39,469
and why those people
inside the compound
64
00:02:39,493 --> 00:02:40,904
had to set up a military base.
65
00:02:40,928 --> 00:02:42,208
For whom?
66
00:02:42,296 --> 00:02:44,863
- If we can find more evidence
of structures
67
00:02:44,965 --> 00:02:48,600
or the ability to defend
this high-value target,
68
00:02:48,702 --> 00:02:50,836
that means that this is
some sort
69
00:02:50,938 --> 00:02:53,005
of Nazi military compound.
70
00:02:53,107 --> 00:02:54,606
- I agree.
71
00:02:54,708 --> 00:02:57,187
If, in fact, it was a compound,
72
00:02:57,211 --> 00:02:59,745
there's stuff to be dug up.
73
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:16,094
- We keep finding stuff,
but we're not finding answers.
74
00:03:16,163 --> 00:03:18,197
We're just finding
more questions.
75
00:03:18,299 --> 00:03:20,666
U.S. Army
Special Forces Tim Kennedy,
76
00:03:20,734 --> 00:03:23,635
along with archaeologists
Daniel Schávelzon
77
00:03:23,737 --> 00:03:26,538
and Alasdair Brooks,
investigate the dense jungle
78
00:03:26,640 --> 00:03:28,485
surrounding
building number four,
79
00:03:28,509 --> 00:03:31,076
which appears to have been
a military barracks
80
00:03:31,178 --> 00:03:32,789
less than a mile
from the other three
81
00:03:32,813 --> 00:03:34,613
residential structures.
82
00:03:34,715 --> 00:03:37,282
- When you're trying to paint
a comprehensive picture
83
00:03:37,384 --> 00:03:41,053
of what a military compound
would look like in a jungle,
84
00:03:41,155 --> 00:03:43,033
you're looking for
observation posts,
85
00:03:43,057 --> 00:03:45,123
structures, defensive positions.
86
00:03:45,226 --> 00:03:47,659
This is way more
than a hideout in the jungle.
87
00:03:47,761 --> 00:03:49,761
But if this is
a military outpost,
88
00:03:49,863 --> 00:03:51,396
I have to see a lot more.
89
00:03:57,538 --> 00:03:59,805
Daniel, Tim!
90
00:04:01,909 --> 00:04:04,469
- Hey. What'd you find?
91
00:04:04,545 --> 00:04:07,012
- If we come up here, we've got
these few loose rocks.
92
00:04:07,114 --> 00:04:11,183
If we follow it through,
this isn't a natural formation.
93
00:04:11,318 --> 00:04:13,452
- Yeah, you're right.
94
00:04:13,554 --> 00:04:15,487
- That's kind of weird.
95
00:04:15,589 --> 00:04:19,424
- It's very clear
it's a manmade feature.
96
00:04:19,526 --> 00:04:22,160
It's a wall in a straight line.
97
00:04:22,263 --> 00:04:23,762
- Wow.
98
00:04:23,864 --> 00:04:26,431
- The construction technique
for these walls
99
00:04:26,533 --> 00:04:28,166
is fairly basic.
100
00:04:28,269 --> 00:04:30,347
It's just rocks laying
on top of each other.
101
00:04:30,371 --> 00:04:32,704
But you can see those levels
building up.
102
00:04:32,806 --> 00:04:34,940
They are clearly artificial.
103
00:04:35,042 --> 00:04:37,509
A certain level
of planning and intent
104
00:04:37,611 --> 00:04:40,012
seems to have gone into
this stone wall.
105
00:04:40,114 --> 00:04:41,847
It looks like it's making use
106
00:04:41,949 --> 00:04:44,182
of natural features
in the landscape.
107
00:04:44,285 --> 00:04:46,151
And it seems to be going up
108
00:04:46,253 --> 00:04:48,687
to another natural feature
up there.
109
00:04:48,789 --> 00:04:50,455
Whether it goes
any further than that
110
00:04:50,557 --> 00:04:52,357
is an open question right now.
111
00:04:52,459 --> 00:04:54,070
- All right, I'm gonna go right.
112
00:04:54,094 --> 00:04:55,939
We'll make this
our center point for right now
113
00:04:55,963 --> 00:04:57,040
and our working area.
114
00:04:57,064 --> 00:04:58,397
- Yes.
115
00:05:01,168 --> 00:05:02,946
- To build something
like this wall
116
00:05:02,970 --> 00:05:04,336
in the middle of the jungle,
117
00:05:04,438 --> 00:05:06,905
where there's no one for miles,
118
00:05:07,007 --> 00:05:09,308
that was by design,
and that was for a reason.
119
00:05:09,410 --> 00:05:10,709
Has to serve a purpose.
120
00:05:10,811 --> 00:05:12,978
I want to find out the purpose.
121
00:05:14,648 --> 00:05:17,849
Yeah, we got something
over here for sure.
122
00:05:17,951 --> 00:05:19,651
Another one.
123
00:05:19,753 --> 00:05:21,353
This is a second wall.
124
00:05:23,290 --> 00:05:25,223
Powerfully constructed,
125
00:05:25,326 --> 00:05:28,160
strategically located.
126
00:05:34,468 --> 00:05:36,268
Got another wall down there?
127
00:05:36,370 --> 00:05:38,537
Oh, man.
128
00:05:38,639 --> 00:05:40,872
Oh, this is absolutely
connected.
129
00:05:45,112 --> 00:05:47,312
Another wall for sure.
130
00:05:54,455 --> 00:05:57,589
Damn.
131
00:05:57,691 --> 00:05:59,291
This is legit.
132
00:06:02,563 --> 00:06:03,862
Hey, guys!
133
00:06:03,964 --> 00:06:05,564
- Have something?
134
00:06:05,666 --> 00:06:08,066
- Yeah, there's a full
rock face right here.
135
00:06:08,168 --> 00:06:11,103
- Looks like you have
a couple of lines of stone here,
136
00:06:11,205 --> 00:06:13,285
and that's definitely
artificial again.
137
00:06:14,375 --> 00:06:16,441
What we're seeing here
138
00:06:16,543 --> 00:06:18,643
is a much more impressive
sequence
139
00:06:18,746 --> 00:06:20,112
than the wall we started with.
140
00:06:20,214 --> 00:06:21,480
This is much higher
141
00:06:21,582 --> 00:06:23,949
and then has
flat, terraced levels
142
00:06:24,051 --> 00:06:27,052
rising down from where
the two of you are standing.
143
00:06:27,154 --> 00:06:28,453
The team has discovered
144
00:06:28,555 --> 00:06:29,955
a terrace-like structure,
145
00:06:30,057 --> 00:06:31,556
two tiers of paved ground
146
00:06:31,658 --> 00:06:34,559
reinforced
by manmade stone walls
147
00:06:34,661 --> 00:06:36,628
built into the hillside.
148
00:06:36,697 --> 00:06:40,632
- Do you have any idea
what the terraces are for?
149
00:06:40,734 --> 00:06:42,801
- So the flat ground...
150
00:06:42,903 --> 00:06:44,681
You can't have troops
running back and forth,
151
00:06:44,705 --> 00:06:46,383
tripping
and breaking their necks.
152
00:06:46,407 --> 00:06:47,973
You can't set up machine guns.
153
00:06:48,075 --> 00:06:50,108
You can't fight
off of uneven ground.
154
00:06:50,210 --> 00:06:51,488
You want every single advantage.
155
00:06:51,512 --> 00:06:53,022
You want them to have
the disadvantage
156
00:06:53,046 --> 00:06:54,346
of coming up a hill.
157
00:06:54,448 --> 00:06:55,859
You want to be
at the top of the hill.
158
00:06:55,883 --> 00:06:58,027
If you're coming up
and you get to this,
159
00:06:58,051 --> 00:07:00,497
this is gonna slow you down
for a second.
160
00:07:00,521 --> 00:07:02,699
That is long enough
for you to die.
161
00:07:02,723 --> 00:07:05,357
This is them setting themselves
up for success.
162
00:07:05,459 --> 00:07:08,093
This terrace is in a very
well-made fighting position.
163
00:07:08,195 --> 00:07:10,273
It's made by somebody
that knows what they're doing,
164
00:07:10,297 --> 00:07:12,578
somebody that has built
battle positions before,
165
00:07:12,633 --> 00:07:14,332
and it screams military.
166
00:07:22,910 --> 00:07:24,976
What is that thing?
167
00:07:25,078 --> 00:07:27,012
You see that?
168
00:07:27,114 --> 00:07:28,114
Gentlemen.
169
00:07:28,248 --> 00:07:29,392
- Yes.
- Yeah.
170
00:07:29,416 --> 00:07:30,949
- I got something.
171
00:07:31,051 --> 00:07:33,718
Come up here. Check this out.
172
00:07:33,821 --> 00:07:35,187
Yes.
173
00:07:35,289 --> 00:07:37,355
Oh!
174
00:07:37,458 --> 00:07:39,291
Holy.
175
00:07:41,462 --> 00:07:43,728
What is this?
176
00:07:54,942 --> 00:07:57,075
Even though
there's not much left,
177
00:07:57,177 --> 00:08:00,512
you can see where the door
and the posts went
178
00:08:00,614 --> 00:08:01,658
from the framework.
179
00:08:01,682 --> 00:08:03,014
- Yes.
180
00:08:03,116 --> 00:08:04,583
Still have a little bit
181
00:08:04,685 --> 00:08:07,486
of the entrance threshold here
as well.
182
00:08:07,588 --> 00:08:09,387
- This is a standalone building
183
00:08:09,490 --> 00:08:11,089
that serves
a functional purpose.
184
00:08:11,191 --> 00:08:12,936
- We just don't know
what that is yet.
185
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:15,861
- It's one room, you know,
with two doors
186
00:08:15,963 --> 00:08:17,329
and a window.
187
00:08:17,431 --> 00:08:19,242
- We know
what this building's not.
188
00:08:19,266 --> 00:08:20,310
This building is not
189
00:08:20,334 --> 00:08:21,700
for somebody to live.
190
00:08:21,802 --> 00:08:24,013
- No restroom,
no kitchen, no nothing.
191
00:08:24,037 --> 00:08:26,171
- What the hell is this thing?
192
00:08:30,277 --> 00:08:31,776
Guard shack?
193
00:08:31,879 --> 00:08:33,745
That's what it feels like.
194
00:08:33,847 --> 00:08:37,716
Where it's situated,
you have obvious layers
195
00:08:37,818 --> 00:08:39,629
of protective
defensive structures
196
00:08:39,653 --> 00:08:41,186
through the jungle.
197
00:08:41,288 --> 00:08:43,299
These segments of the wall
that we can find
198
00:08:43,323 --> 00:08:45,268
probably formed
an entire perimeter
199
00:08:45,292 --> 00:08:46,870
around the original structures...
200
00:08:46,894 --> 00:08:49,761
Buildings one, two, and three...
At the center.
201
00:08:49,863 --> 00:08:52,964
This feels like another layer
of defense.
202
00:08:53,066 --> 00:08:54,799
This is the exact spot
203
00:08:54,902 --> 00:08:56,301
I would have put a guard shack.
204
00:08:59,306 --> 00:09:02,107
This very well could be
where you're gonna be
205
00:09:02,209 --> 00:09:04,075
launching patrols from,
206
00:09:04,177 --> 00:09:07,078
do all the things
that you would have to do
207
00:09:07,180 --> 00:09:09,740
to create another layer
of protection
208
00:09:09,816 --> 00:09:11,149
for who was behind it.
209
00:09:19,927 --> 00:09:22,294
- This is amazing technology,
you know?
210
00:09:22,396 --> 00:09:23,695
There's the Brandenburg Gate.
211
00:09:23,797 --> 00:09:24,997
While the South American team
212
00:09:25,098 --> 00:09:26,731
continues to investigate
213
00:09:26,833 --> 00:09:29,267
the potential Nazi military
compound in Argentina,
214
00:09:29,336 --> 00:09:32,804
Bob and John review
the 3D laser scans from Berlin
215
00:09:32,906 --> 00:09:34,239
to determine if the avenue
216
00:09:34,341 --> 00:09:36,252
extending from
the Brandenburg Gate
217
00:09:36,276 --> 00:09:39,678
could be the location
where a declassified MI6 file
218
00:09:39,780 --> 00:09:42,314
reports Luftwaffe pilot
Peter Baumgart
219
00:09:42,416 --> 00:09:44,149
flew Hitler from Berlin
220
00:09:44,251 --> 00:09:46,885
the day before
he was believed dead.
221
00:09:46,954 --> 00:09:50,755
6,033 feet.
222
00:09:50,857 --> 00:09:54,192
That's a lot of feet
for a short takeoff/landing.
223
00:09:54,294 --> 00:09:55,860
- Just a little over a mile.
224
00:09:55,963 --> 00:09:58,063
- Yeah, I mean,
it's more than you need.
225
00:09:58,165 --> 00:10:01,066
Let's look at the width.
93 feet.
226
00:10:01,168 --> 00:10:04,202
- Except let's not forget
that the lampposts
227
00:10:04,304 --> 00:10:05,315
had been removed.
228
00:10:05,339 --> 00:10:06,871
That gives us 144 feet.
229
00:10:06,974 --> 00:10:10,408
- 144 feet, which
you could land a C-130.
230
00:10:10,510 --> 00:10:11,788
- Almost any plane.
231
00:10:11,812 --> 00:10:13,489
A DC-3 could have got
out of there
232
00:10:13,513 --> 00:10:16,025
on this particular
makeshift runway.
233
00:10:16,049 --> 00:10:19,517
So, really, there isn't
any question in my mind
234
00:10:19,620 --> 00:10:22,554
that Baumgart could have
gotten out of Berlin.
235
00:10:22,656 --> 00:10:24,367
I mean, it's long enough.
It's wide enough.
236
00:10:24,391 --> 00:10:25,790
It works.
237
00:10:25,892 --> 00:10:27,937
- There's no other explanation
other than
238
00:10:27,961 --> 00:10:29,839
they were turning this
into a makeshift runway.
239
00:10:29,863 --> 00:10:31,808
Hanna Reitsch used it
on the 28th,
240
00:10:31,832 --> 00:10:34,966
makes it out successfully...
A test run, if you like.
241
00:10:35,068 --> 00:10:37,736
The 29th, Baumgart says
he flew Hitler out,
242
00:10:37,838 --> 00:10:41,039
and Hitler supposedly dies
on the 30th.
243
00:10:41,141 --> 00:10:43,775
The detail is all
coming together
244
00:10:43,877 --> 00:10:46,578
to paint a picture
of Hitler's possible escape
245
00:10:46,680 --> 00:10:48,680
like we've never seen before,
ever.
246
00:10:48,715 --> 00:10:50,715
- All of this fits together.
247
00:10:50,817 --> 00:10:52,862
But I think we really have
an issue.
248
00:10:52,886 --> 00:10:54,719
According to this MI6 file,
249
00:10:54,821 --> 00:10:59,391
Baumgart flew a Messerschmitt,
an Me-108.
250
00:10:59,493 --> 00:11:02,961
It had a range of about
600 or 700 miles.
251
00:11:03,063 --> 00:11:05,508
They're not
long-distance planes.
252
00:11:05,532 --> 00:11:09,267
These types of aircraft being
used at this makeshift runway,
253
00:11:09,336 --> 00:11:11,848
no way could they have
made it to Spain.
254
00:11:11,872 --> 00:11:13,772
It's 2,000 miles away.
255
00:11:13,874 --> 00:11:15,340
Earlier in the investigation,
256
00:11:15,442 --> 00:11:18,910
we determined that one of
the very likely routes
257
00:11:19,012 --> 00:11:21,024
out of Berlin
would have been to Spain.
258
00:11:21,048 --> 00:11:24,949
We have an FBI document,
and it states here,
259
00:11:25,052 --> 00:11:27,612
"Hitler refused to involve
Spain in the war,
260
00:11:27,688 --> 00:11:31,489
"because he has a promise
of sanctuary there
261
00:11:31,591 --> 00:11:33,258
when Germany is defeated."
262
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:36,628
- There's one man that Hitler
could go to for salvation:
263
00:11:36,730 --> 00:11:39,964
to leader of Spain,
the dictator Franco.
264
00:11:40,067 --> 00:11:43,334
- If Hitler's fleeing Berlin,
it's certainly possible
265
00:11:43,437 --> 00:11:45,515
that he would have gone
to Spain.
266
00:11:45,539 --> 00:11:48,606
But it's most likely that he had
an intermediate stop
267
00:11:48,709 --> 00:11:50,275
on one of the smaller aircraft.
268
00:11:50,377 --> 00:11:52,121
- And where would you go
this late in the game?
269
00:11:52,145 --> 00:11:54,057
- Well, let's dig
into this database
270
00:11:54,081 --> 00:11:57,315
and see exactly what we have
on Baumgart
271
00:11:57,417 --> 00:11:59,977
and where he could have
actually gone.
272
00:12:06,393 --> 00:12:07,292
There we go.
273
00:12:07,394 --> 00:12:09,661
The reporting agency is MI6.
274
00:12:09,763 --> 00:12:13,631
This is a report
from 18 December 1947.
275
00:12:13,734 --> 00:12:18,903
"Baumgart arrived at Berlin
on 28 March 1945.
276
00:12:19,005 --> 00:12:21,806
"In April, he was ordered
to convey to Denmark
277
00:12:21,908 --> 00:12:25,510
"a very high official,
and there was reason to believe
278
00:12:25,612 --> 00:12:29,380
that the person in question
must have been Hitler himself."
279
00:12:29,483 --> 00:12:30,660
- The plot thickens.
280
00:12:30,684 --> 00:12:32,717
- Denmark makes a lot of sense.
281
00:12:32,819 --> 00:12:35,386
It's not like the Allies are
landing on the beaches there.
282
00:12:35,489 --> 00:12:36,888
They're coming through France,
283
00:12:36,990 --> 00:12:39,758
and the Russians are coming
across Germany.
284
00:12:39,860 --> 00:12:43,328
So there's no battle going on
in Denmark at the time.
285
00:12:43,430 --> 00:12:47,165
Until May 5th, Denmark was still
a Nazi stronghold.
286
00:12:47,267 --> 00:12:48,911
I mean, you could land
an airplane there.
287
00:12:48,935 --> 00:12:51,481
- From Berlin
to the heart of Denmark
288
00:12:51,505 --> 00:12:54,606
is just a hair short
of 300 miles.
289
00:12:54,708 --> 00:12:56,508
- That is a short flight
290
00:12:56,610 --> 00:12:58,943
with a fast military airplane.
291
00:12:59,045 --> 00:13:01,605
- We need to get the team
into Denmark.
292
00:13:01,648 --> 00:13:04,382
We know Nazi infrastructure's
obviously in Germany
293
00:13:04,484 --> 00:13:06,117
and in other countries,
294
00:13:06,219 --> 00:13:09,187
but we really need to be able
to zero in on Denmark
295
00:13:09,289 --> 00:13:12,557
to see what type of Nazi
infrastructures were there.
296
00:13:12,659 --> 00:13:14,937
It's still something
that needs to be answered.
297
00:13:14,961 --> 00:13:16,038
- Yeah, let's get to Denmark,
298
00:13:16,062 --> 00:13:17,762
see if it was a stopping point.
299
00:13:17,864 --> 00:13:20,598
I'll bet we find something.
300
00:13:38,552 --> 00:13:40,718
- If you're on the run,
301
00:13:40,821 --> 00:13:42,587
you need a network, don't you?
302
00:13:42,689 --> 00:13:44,233
- You absolutely need a network,
303
00:13:44,257 --> 00:13:47,158
and a guy like Hitler,
of course, at that point,
304
00:13:47,260 --> 00:13:48,704
he's the most wanted man
in the world,
305
00:13:48,728 --> 00:13:50,306
so he's only gonna trust
a very few people.
306
00:13:50,330 --> 00:13:51,330
Lenny DePaul,
307
00:13:51,398 --> 00:13:53,464
former U.S. Marshal commander,
308
00:13:53,567 --> 00:13:57,068
is joined by James Holland,
world-renowned historian
309
00:13:57,170 --> 00:13:59,304
and expert on Nazis
during World War II.
310
00:13:59,406 --> 00:14:00,839
- An investigation like this,
311
00:14:00,941 --> 00:14:02,051
you simply can't look at it
312
00:14:02,075 --> 00:14:03,641
from a 21st-century perspective.
313
00:14:03,743 --> 00:14:05,688
I've been studying this
for many years,
314
00:14:05,712 --> 00:14:07,356
trying to get into the head
of Adolf Hitler
315
00:14:07,380 --> 00:14:08,913
and to the Nazi elite.
316
00:14:09,015 --> 00:14:11,416
You need
that historical context.
317
00:14:11,518 --> 00:14:13,585
To determine the extent
318
00:14:13,687 --> 00:14:15,364
of the Nazi presence in Denmark
319
00:14:15,388 --> 00:14:17,099
that could have been
at Hitler's disposal
320
00:14:17,123 --> 00:14:19,791
at the end of the war,
the team is heading
321
00:14:19,893 --> 00:14:22,104
to a little-known
German military installation
322
00:14:22,128 --> 00:14:23,995
along the Danish coast.
323
00:14:24,097 --> 00:14:26,931
- If this was Adolf Hitler's
exact plan of escape,
324
00:14:27,033 --> 00:14:29,393
to head north to Denmark,
he would have set the table.
325
00:14:29,469 --> 00:14:31,280
He would have had
the right infrastructure,
326
00:14:31,304 --> 00:14:32,670
the right people in place.
327
00:14:32,772 --> 00:14:34,283
So I'm gonna shake
a lot of trees
328
00:14:34,307 --> 00:14:36,507
and see what falls out of them
around here.
329
00:14:37,544 --> 00:14:39,444
Well, here we are.
330
00:14:39,546 --> 00:14:40,546
- Oh, that's him.
331
00:14:40,580 --> 00:14:42,124
Hello? - Christian?
332
00:14:42,148 --> 00:14:43,988
- Christian.
- Right, right.
333
00:14:44,084 --> 00:14:45,428
- Nice to meet you.
- Yeah, and you.
334
00:14:45,452 --> 00:14:47,430
Good to see you.
- Nice to meet you.
335
00:14:47,454 --> 00:14:49,787
Christian Ringskof,
the head curator of the site,
336
00:14:49,890 --> 00:14:52,156
is granting the team
unprecedented access
337
00:14:52,259 --> 00:14:54,525
to a series of bunkers
used by the Nazis
338
00:14:54,628 --> 00:14:56,472
during their occupation
of Denmark.
339
00:14:56,496 --> 00:14:58,463
- God, Lenny, look at that.
340
00:14:58,565 --> 00:15:01,032
- Phew. Wow.
341
00:15:01,134 --> 00:15:03,568
- It's incredible, isn't it?
342
00:15:06,406 --> 00:15:08,446
- When was this place built,
Christian?
343
00:15:16,449 --> 00:15:18,082
At the end of World War II,
344
00:15:18,184 --> 00:15:20,129
these bunkers were buried
out of sight
345
00:15:20,153 --> 00:15:21,719
under 33 feet of sand.
346
00:15:21,788 --> 00:15:25,356
But in 2008, a massive storm
unearthed them,
347
00:15:25,458 --> 00:15:29,360
allowing access
for the first time since 1945.
348
00:15:29,429 --> 00:15:31,989
- So, suddenly,
you can get in here.
349
00:15:44,678 --> 00:15:46,238
- They dropped everything
and went home.
350
00:15:46,313 --> 00:15:48,193
- Yeah.
- Can we take a look?
351
00:15:49,516 --> 00:15:51,327
- Have a look at the width
of these walls, Lenny.
352
00:15:51,351 --> 00:15:52,351
- Jeez Louise.
353
00:15:52,385 --> 00:15:53,385
Solid concrete.
354
00:15:53,486 --> 00:15:54,797
- Six feet.
- Six feet.
355
00:15:54,821 --> 00:15:56,387
- Typical German fashion, huh?
356
00:15:56,489 --> 00:15:57,855
Thick concrete walls.
357
00:15:57,958 --> 00:16:00,024
- I mean, look at it.
It's so solid.
358
00:16:03,997 --> 00:16:05,096
- Oh, man.
359
00:16:05,198 --> 00:16:06,798
Look at this.
360
00:16:06,866 --> 00:16:08,566
The team is granted access
361
00:16:08,668 --> 00:16:10,668
to artifacts
that were left behind
362
00:16:10,704 --> 00:16:12,704
when the Nazi troops fled
this area
363
00:16:12,739 --> 00:16:14,372
at the end of the war.
364
00:16:14,474 --> 00:16:16,519
These objects were entombed
in this bunker
365
00:16:16,543 --> 00:16:18,276
for nearly 70 years.
366
00:16:21,982 --> 00:16:24,515
- This is the sort of thing
that makes me very happy, Lenny.
367
00:16:24,584 --> 00:16:26,329
- Ooh, look at that.
German Luger, right?
368
00:16:26,353 --> 00:16:27,952
- Yeah, that's a German Luger.
369
00:16:28,054 --> 00:16:29,420
This is really interesting,
370
00:16:29,522 --> 00:16:32,123
because your common
garden troops
371
00:16:32,225 --> 00:16:33,669
are not gonna be carrying
a Luger.
372
00:16:33,693 --> 00:16:35,326
This is kind of elite stuff.
373
00:16:35,428 --> 00:16:36,928
It's not the sort of kit
374
00:16:37,030 --> 00:16:39,497
that you're gonna be handing out
to recruits.
375
00:16:39,599 --> 00:16:42,333
That suggests that you've got
some troops in the area
376
00:16:42,435 --> 00:16:44,435
who kind of know
what they're about.
377
00:16:47,741 --> 00:16:49,440
- Oh, really?
378
00:16:49,542 --> 00:16:51,142
- In this... in this position.
379
00:16:51,211 --> 00:16:52,677
- So there's a radar here.
380
00:16:54,314 --> 00:16:56,514
- Really?
381
00:16:59,452 --> 00:17:01,564
- There's a whole level
of sophistication
382
00:17:01,588 --> 00:17:04,188
to support clandestine
operations.
383
00:17:04,290 --> 00:17:06,357
Something big was going on here.
384
00:17:06,459 --> 00:17:08,626
- Look at this room in here.
385
00:17:08,728 --> 00:17:10,673
- It's a big one.
- Look at this.
386
00:17:10,697 --> 00:17:13,998
- Yeah.
- What went on in here?
387
00:17:20,940 --> 00:17:22,752
- Luftwaffe's here,
the German air force.
388
00:17:22,776 --> 00:17:24,587
This is like some sort
of a command post
389
00:17:24,611 --> 00:17:26,110
or a control center?
390
00:17:26,212 --> 00:17:28,772
- What aircraft
are we talking about here?
391
00:17:29,783 --> 00:17:31,115
- Night fighters.
392
00:17:33,386 --> 00:17:35,386
Operating from as far north
393
00:17:35,488 --> 00:17:38,556
as the Danish coast,
the Nazi night fighters were
394
00:17:38,658 --> 00:17:40,058
one of the most elite squadrons
395
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:42,126
of Hitler's Luftwaffe air force.
396
00:17:42,228 --> 00:17:44,028
Utilizing experimental forms
397
00:17:44,130 --> 00:17:46,798
of radar, avionics,
and weaponry,
398
00:17:46,900 --> 00:17:49,333
they executed missions
in the dead of night,
399
00:17:49,436 --> 00:17:52,870
wreaking havoc
on Allied targets.
400
00:17:52,972 --> 00:17:55,251
- Well, the interesting thing,
Lenny, about this place
401
00:17:55,275 --> 00:17:57,195
is that anyone
who's working here
402
00:17:57,277 --> 00:17:59,577
is doing so under, you know,
high security.
403
00:17:59,679 --> 00:18:02,413
You know, you're not allowed
to breathe a word of this.
404
00:18:02,515 --> 00:18:04,660
In other words, these are people
that can keep a secret.
405
00:18:04,684 --> 00:18:06,851
These are people you can trust.
406
00:18:06,953 --> 00:18:09,353
If I was Hitler and if I was
trying to get out,
407
00:18:09,456 --> 00:18:11,167
I would want to come to Denmark.
408
00:18:11,191 --> 00:18:14,358
It's the one place where
the Germans are still occupying,
409
00:18:14,461 --> 00:18:16,305
that they've got
all the infrastructure
410
00:18:16,329 --> 00:18:17,862
that you could possibly want.
411
00:18:17,964 --> 00:18:19,175
You've got the secure bunkers,
412
00:18:19,199 --> 00:18:20,665
you've got the radar system,
413
00:18:20,767 --> 00:18:22,166
and you've got troops.
414
00:18:22,268 --> 00:18:24,146
So Denmark is about
as good a place
415
00:18:24,170 --> 00:18:27,271
as you can hope to go to,
as any in the world.
416
00:18:32,879 --> 00:18:34,990
- What I really find
interesting about Misiones
417
00:18:35,014 --> 00:18:37,582
is, of course, we have
this fifth structure here
418
00:18:37,684 --> 00:18:39,562
that's consistent
with the others.
419
00:18:39,586 --> 00:18:41,018
While the European team
420
00:18:41,121 --> 00:18:43,121
continues
to investigate Denmark,
421
00:18:43,223 --> 00:18:44,900
Bob and John review the findings
422
00:18:44,924 --> 00:18:47,592
from the jungles
of Misiones, Argentina,
423
00:18:47,694 --> 00:18:50,828
which could be home to
a Nazi militarized compound,
424
00:18:50,930 --> 00:18:55,099
as reported by a declassified
Argentinian document.
425
00:18:55,201 --> 00:18:58,202
- It is not consistent
with a civilian structure.
426
00:18:58,304 --> 00:19:00,416
This is out in the middle
of the jungle.
427
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:03,674
These people were prepared
for an attack of some sort.
428
00:19:03,776 --> 00:19:05,109
- Agreed.
429
00:19:05,211 --> 00:19:07,345
And here I have the discoveries
430
00:19:07,447 --> 00:19:10,114
that we found
from our investigative efforts.
431
00:19:10,216 --> 00:19:13,618
There's a wall
that's encircling the compound.
432
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:15,119
You have the guard shack,
433
00:19:15,221 --> 00:19:17,121
and you also have
building number four.
434
00:19:17,223 --> 00:19:19,290
It's a two-story structure
435
00:19:19,392 --> 00:19:22,727
that looks like
it could have been used
436
00:19:22,829 --> 00:19:25,229
to house soldiers
or security forces.
437
00:19:25,331 --> 00:19:26,864
- You know, the patterns,
438
00:19:26,966 --> 00:19:29,245
it does look like some sort
of outer perimeter.
439
00:19:29,269 --> 00:19:31,903
- What's really critical here
is building one.
440
00:19:32,005 --> 00:19:34,505
This is the one
with the opulent residence.
441
00:19:34,607 --> 00:19:36,841
This is the epicenter.
442
00:19:36,943 --> 00:19:39,121
- Then everything else
surrounds that.
443
00:19:39,145 --> 00:19:42,813
It's clear to me this was
some sort of compound.
444
00:19:44,651 --> 00:19:46,584
- Now, look at this,
this right here.
445
00:19:46,686 --> 00:19:48,519
It's strange.
446
00:19:48,621 --> 00:19:52,890
Here's the water, and this is
a point that's not protected.
447
00:19:52,992 --> 00:19:56,194
This is the proverbial
Achilles heel.
448
00:19:56,296 --> 00:19:59,564
Anybody that knows anything
about fortifying
449
00:19:59,666 --> 00:20:01,399
any type of military compound
450
00:20:01,501 --> 00:20:04,435
would not leave this open
right here.
451
00:20:04,537 --> 00:20:06,037
This is pretty conspicuous.
452
00:20:06,139 --> 00:20:07,872
- Yeah.
453
00:20:07,974 --> 00:20:11,709
- If I was seeking to capture
whoever was in building one,
454
00:20:11,811 --> 00:20:14,111
there's only one place
I would come in,
455
00:20:14,214 --> 00:20:17,715
and that's the small inlet
shaped just like a heel.
456
00:20:17,817 --> 00:20:20,918
And there appears to be
a straight shot from the inlet
457
00:20:21,020 --> 00:20:23,721
directly to building number one.
458
00:20:23,823 --> 00:20:26,168
- You get a Zodiac there
on the shore
459
00:20:26,192 --> 00:20:28,170
and be up at building one
without a protection
460
00:20:28,194 --> 00:20:29,961
in two minutes.
461
00:20:30,063 --> 00:20:31,874
You simply don't take
your chances
462
00:20:31,898 --> 00:20:34,276
hoping that nobody's going
to come up out of the water.
463
00:20:34,300 --> 00:20:35,678
You have to look
at all the labor
464
00:20:35,702 --> 00:20:37,468
that went into this compound.
465
00:20:37,570 --> 00:20:40,071
We're talking millions of
dollars to build this place.
466
00:20:40,173 --> 00:20:42,351
And if you're going to put
that kind of money into it
467
00:20:42,375 --> 00:20:45,409
and put military arms into it,
468
00:20:45,511 --> 00:20:48,746
you're going to find a way
to defend the whole thing.
469
00:20:48,848 --> 00:20:51,315
- We need to get our team
on the ground here
470
00:20:51,417 --> 00:20:54,585
and to find out what else
is here or may have been there
471
00:20:54,687 --> 00:20:56,498
that would have offered
more protection
472
00:20:56,522 --> 00:20:58,055
for building number one.
473
00:20:58,157 --> 00:21:00,825
- Yeah, we have to complete
the picture here.
474
00:21:10,570 --> 00:21:13,571
- Movement of a high-value
target in this area,
475
00:21:13,673 --> 00:21:16,073
you can't find a better place
on the planet to do it
476
00:21:16,175 --> 00:21:17,608
than right here.
477
00:21:17,710 --> 00:21:20,311
Tim Kennedy, Alasdair Brooks,
478
00:21:20,413 --> 00:21:21,946
and Daniel Schávelzon
479
00:21:22,048 --> 00:21:24,181
navigate the waters
of the Paraná River,
480
00:21:24,284 --> 00:21:27,752
which runs
along the Misiones compound.
481
00:21:27,854 --> 00:21:31,122
- So I have our point
of interest plotted on the GPS
482
00:21:31,224 --> 00:21:32,657
in between these cliffs
483
00:21:32,759 --> 00:21:34,625
right at the water's edge.
484
00:21:36,929 --> 00:21:40,197
- These cliffs
are certainly spectacular.
485
00:21:40,300 --> 00:21:42,111
- They're visually stunning,
absolutely,
486
00:21:42,135 --> 00:21:45,936
but as a climber,
those are treacherous.
487
00:21:46,039 --> 00:21:48,506
- Even if you're not carrying
that much equipment,
488
00:21:48,608 --> 00:21:50,474
these are a barrier.
489
00:21:50,576 --> 00:21:54,312
- Right around this bend
is that spot.
490
00:21:56,049 --> 00:21:58,282
- So this is it.
491
00:21:58,384 --> 00:22:00,529
- So we have a cliff face here,
another cliff here,
492
00:22:00,553 --> 00:22:03,187
and this somewhat lower level
when you look at it.
493
00:22:03,289 --> 00:22:07,224
- That's some of the densest
jungle we've seen so far.
494
00:22:07,327 --> 00:22:08,893
- There could be someone
495
00:22:08,995 --> 00:22:10,795
standing one foot
in that vegetation,
496
00:22:10,897 --> 00:22:12,029
and we couldn't see them.
497
00:22:12,131 --> 00:22:13,575
You could have artillery
sitting there,
498
00:22:13,599 --> 00:22:14,732
and we couldn't see it.
499
00:22:14,834 --> 00:22:16,211
- You could have a house
in there,
500
00:22:16,235 --> 00:22:17,868
and you couldn't see it.
501
00:22:17,970 --> 00:22:19,915
- There are houses in there,
and we can't see them.
502
00:22:19,939 --> 00:22:21,672
- Absolutely true.
503
00:22:23,276 --> 00:22:25,343
It's difficult for us
to get close.
504
00:22:25,445 --> 00:22:28,045
- Yeah, there's a bunch of logs
and tree stumps
505
00:22:28,147 --> 00:22:29,547
that are in there too.
506
00:22:30,983 --> 00:22:33,851
Wait, wait, wait, wait,
wait, wait.
507
00:22:33,953 --> 00:22:35,920
You see that?
508
00:22:37,657 --> 00:22:39,156
Hey, can we flip back around?
509
00:22:39,258 --> 00:22:41,136
- Do you think
you saw something?
510
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:42,771
- There is definitely
a different color
511
00:22:42,795 --> 00:22:44,406
from the vegetation
in the background.
512
00:22:44,430 --> 00:22:46,330
I saw something kind of tan.
513
00:22:46,432 --> 00:22:48,332
- Something over here?
514
00:22:48,434 --> 00:22:50,474
- Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep.
Right there.
515
00:22:50,503 --> 00:22:53,504
Is that all one big rock?
516
00:22:53,606 --> 00:22:54,606
- It is.
517
00:22:54,674 --> 00:22:56,407
- If this is your access point
518
00:22:56,509 --> 00:22:58,120
and they're building
fortifications
519
00:22:58,144 --> 00:23:00,778
that prevent your access,
this is strategic.
520
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:03,013
We got to see what that is.
521
00:23:06,386 --> 00:23:07,418
Oh, it's cold.
522
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:08,800
- Be careful.
523
00:23:23,536 --> 00:23:25,603
- That is way bigger
than I thought.
524
00:23:25,705 --> 00:23:27,204
And it's thick enough.
525
00:23:27,306 --> 00:23:28,706
It would stop bullets.
526
00:23:28,808 --> 00:23:30,374
It would stop a grenade.
527
00:23:32,912 --> 00:23:34,779
Look at this.
528
00:23:34,881 --> 00:23:36,580
That's timber.
529
00:23:36,682 --> 00:23:39,483
It's not a tree.
530
00:23:39,585 --> 00:23:42,720
This might be the... like,
the edge of a foundation
531
00:23:42,822 --> 00:23:44,655
to a structure right here.
532
00:23:46,426 --> 00:23:48,893
They could have built it
right into this wall.
533
00:23:48,995 --> 00:23:50,406
It would have had
overhead cover.
534
00:23:50,430 --> 00:23:52,307
Use some of the vegetation
as camouflage,
535
00:23:52,331 --> 00:23:53,375
pile it up on top of this.
536
00:23:53,399 --> 00:23:55,833
This is completely bullet-proof
537
00:23:55,935 --> 00:23:59,470
at the one point that you have
access to the shore.
538
00:24:02,575 --> 00:24:04,809
Wait. What is this?
539
00:24:04,911 --> 00:24:07,845
This, you cannot miss.
540
00:24:07,947 --> 00:24:10,648
That is a perfect right angle.
541
00:24:10,750 --> 00:24:12,183
These are chisel marks too.
542
00:24:12,285 --> 00:24:14,785
What the...
543
00:24:14,887 --> 00:24:17,321
You could shoot
straight across this.
544
00:24:17,423 --> 00:24:19,190
There's no possible way
545
00:24:19,292 --> 00:24:23,194
that somebody could get across
this body of water alive.
546
00:24:23,296 --> 00:24:26,530
This is going to give you
an elevated position
547
00:24:26,632 --> 00:24:28,365
to rain down hell.
548
00:24:34,474 --> 00:24:36,607
- We have this infrastructure
549
00:24:36,709 --> 00:24:38,442
along the coast of Denmark.
550
00:24:38,544 --> 00:24:42,346
Obviously, elite German
Nazi forces were there.
551
00:24:42,448 --> 00:24:44,448
- Which would have been
loyal to Hitler.
552
00:24:44,550 --> 00:24:47,184
- Definitely the ability
to protect Hitler.
553
00:24:47,286 --> 00:24:48,819
- Yeah, I agree.
554
00:24:48,921 --> 00:24:51,155
Bob and John discuss
the European leg
555
00:24:51,257 --> 00:24:54,024
of their investigation,
which is focusing
556
00:24:54,126 --> 00:24:56,206
on Hitler's possible flight
to Denmark
557
00:24:56,262 --> 00:24:58,529
the day before
he was believed dead,
558
00:24:58,631 --> 00:25:01,999
as reported
by a declassified MI6 file.
559
00:25:02,101 --> 00:25:05,736
- The question is, if Baumgart
or any other pilot
560
00:25:05,838 --> 00:25:09,039
were to come into Denmark,
where's the airstrip?
561
00:25:09,141 --> 00:25:10,808
- Yeah, I agree.
562
00:25:10,910 --> 00:25:12,921
- Let's dig into the database
to see what we can find.
563
00:25:12,945 --> 00:25:15,179
- Yeah, let's see
what we come up with.
564
00:25:19,118 --> 00:25:23,787
Nuremburg trial, 15 March 1948.
565
00:25:23,890 --> 00:25:29,560
Interrogation of Friedrich
von Angelotty-Mackensen.
566
00:25:29,662 --> 00:25:32,429
- Yeah, he was a major
in the SS.
567
00:25:32,532 --> 00:25:37,868
- "You saw Hitler and
several comrades in May 1945."
568
00:25:37,970 --> 00:25:39,436
"Yes."
569
00:25:39,539 --> 00:25:41,405
"Who were his comrades?"
570
00:25:41,507 --> 00:25:45,709
"I only know that in one of
the planes in which Hitler was,
571
00:25:45,811 --> 00:25:49,346
"that this plane was being
flown or piloted
572
00:25:49,448 --> 00:25:52,216
by a certain Captain Baumgart."
573
00:25:52,318 --> 00:25:53,851
Voila.
574
00:25:53,953 --> 00:25:55,920
"Where did you see them?"
575
00:25:56,022 --> 00:25:57,288
"In Tonder."
576
00:25:59,725 --> 00:26:01,292
- Where's Tonder?
577
00:26:01,394 --> 00:26:04,194
- I've never heard of it.
578
00:26:06,666 --> 00:26:07,898
There we go.
579
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:09,444
- Right there,
at the German border.
580
00:26:09,468 --> 00:26:11,201
- Yeah,
right on the German border.
581
00:26:11,304 --> 00:26:15,272
So basically,
if this SS major was right,
582
00:26:15,374 --> 00:26:17,241
he flies from Berlin.
583
00:26:17,343 --> 00:26:20,477
As soon as he gets across
the border into Denmark,
584
00:26:20,580 --> 00:26:25,382
which is still Nazi occupied...
And puts down there.
585
00:26:25,484 --> 00:26:28,986
Here's a guy whose life
was in the balance,
586
00:26:29,088 --> 00:26:31,322
and in the middle
of the questioning,
587
00:26:31,424 --> 00:26:34,391
he says he saw Hitler in Tonder.
588
00:26:34,493 --> 00:26:35,893
I think that's huge.
589
00:26:35,995 --> 00:26:37,628
"Hitler."
590
00:26:37,730 --> 00:26:39,763
"Tonder."
591
00:26:39,865 --> 00:26:41,565
"Denmark."
592
00:26:45,237 --> 00:26:47,404
There we go.
593
00:26:47,506 --> 00:26:52,009
- Luftwaffe airfields
from 1935 to '45 in Denmark.
594
00:26:52,111 --> 00:26:55,613
The landing ground
of southwest Denmark.
595
00:26:55,715 --> 00:26:59,149
It was a World War I
German airship station.
596
00:26:59,251 --> 00:27:01,530
It was abandoned
after the First World War.
597
00:27:01,554 --> 00:27:04,099
It was listed in World War II
German documents
598
00:27:04,123 --> 00:27:07,291
as an available landing ground.
599
00:27:09,795 --> 00:27:11,629
- It's a clandestine airport.
600
00:27:11,731 --> 00:27:12,908
It's what we were looking for.
601
00:27:12,932 --> 00:27:14,498
It's utterly remarkable.
602
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:16,211
This isn't like a known place,
you know?
603
00:27:16,235 --> 00:27:18,969
If he said, "Oh, I saw Hitler
at Copenhagen Airport,"
604
00:27:19,071 --> 00:27:20,337
that's sort of a giveaway.
605
00:27:20,439 --> 00:27:22,506
But he's talking about a base
606
00:27:22,608 --> 00:27:25,476
that was unknown to most people,
607
00:27:25,578 --> 00:27:27,311
probably to very few people.
608
00:27:27,413 --> 00:27:29,313
It had been a World War I base
609
00:27:29,415 --> 00:27:32,483
that it was possible
to still land in there.
610
00:27:32,585 --> 00:27:34,463
- Well, it had to be,
because he was there.
611
00:27:34,487 --> 00:27:35,519
- Yeah.
612
00:27:35,621 --> 00:27:37,221
The question is, one,
613
00:27:37,323 --> 00:27:40,624
could you put an airplane down
that's flown from Berlin?
614
00:27:40,726 --> 00:27:42,359
Two, what do you do from there?
615
00:27:42,461 --> 00:27:44,940
- We need to get the team
in there to look at that
616
00:27:44,964 --> 00:27:48,732
to see how it could have
been used in late April 1945.
617
00:27:48,834 --> 00:27:50,134
- Let's get into Tonder.
618
00:27:59,178 --> 00:28:00,244
- Well, rumors.
619
00:28:00,346 --> 00:28:01,679
- There's rumors.
620
00:28:01,781 --> 00:28:03,091
- You know what rumors are,
right?
621
00:28:03,115 --> 00:28:04,581
- Yeah, yeah.
622
00:28:04,684 --> 00:28:06,984
Where there's smoke...
623
00:28:07,086 --> 00:28:09,720
- We'll find a fire.
624
00:28:09,822 --> 00:28:11,655
Lenny DePaul and James Holland
625
00:28:11,757 --> 00:28:13,991
head for the location
of the Tonder airfield
626
00:28:14,093 --> 00:28:15,559
in search of evidence
627
00:28:15,661 --> 00:28:17,439
that Hitler
could have used this site
628
00:28:17,463 --> 00:28:19,063
as a transit point to Spain.
629
00:28:19,165 --> 00:28:20,742
- Here we go.
- Oh, here it is right here.
630
00:28:20,766 --> 00:28:21,832
- Yeah.
631
00:28:21,934 --> 00:28:24,334
- All right, let's go in here.
632
00:28:26,038 --> 00:28:29,239
Looks like a hangar.
633
00:28:29,341 --> 00:28:31,875
Certainly could have
accommodated an airplane.
634
00:28:31,977 --> 00:28:33,210
Massive, massive building.
635
00:28:33,312 --> 00:28:34,623
Yo! - Hello!
636
00:28:34,647 --> 00:28:35,546
- I'm Lenny.
- Anders.
637
00:28:35,648 --> 00:28:37,414
- Anders, nice to meet you.
638
00:28:37,516 --> 00:28:39,616
The team makes
contact with Anders Jacobsen,
639
00:28:39,719 --> 00:28:42,453
an expert on Nazi Luftwaffe
activities in Denmark.
640
00:28:42,555 --> 00:28:43,754
- What is this?
641
00:28:43,856 --> 00:28:47,691
- It was originally built
in 1914
642
00:28:47,793 --> 00:28:51,695
to protect the German imperial
navy airship base here.
643
00:28:51,797 --> 00:28:52,830
- What about the runway?
644
00:28:52,898 --> 00:28:54,565
- The airstrip right here,
645
00:28:54,667 --> 00:28:56,734
in both directions.
646
00:28:56,836 --> 00:28:58,213
- Really?
Just right in front of us?
647
00:28:58,237 --> 00:28:59,481
- Yes.
- This way?
648
00:28:59,505 --> 00:29:01,149
- Yes.
- Is there any remnants
649
00:29:01,173 --> 00:29:02,684
of a tarmac or pavement
or anything?
650
00:29:02,708 --> 00:29:04,108
- No, no.
651
00:29:04,210 --> 00:29:06,621
There was no tarmac or anything,
no concrete.
652
00:29:06,645 --> 00:29:07,945
It was grass.
653
00:29:08,047 --> 00:29:10,225
- They landed on grass.
- They landed on grass.
654
00:29:10,249 --> 00:29:12,227
- And what kind of troops
would have been here?
655
00:29:12,251 --> 00:29:15,919
- We have reports of Luftwaffe
personnel being here.
656
00:29:16,021 --> 00:29:20,457
In total clandestine conditions,
you could land here.
657
00:29:20,559 --> 00:29:22,726
There would be no one here
658
00:29:22,828 --> 00:29:25,562
except those people
that you would like to be here.
659
00:29:25,664 --> 00:29:28,432
This was top secret
at that time.
660
00:29:28,534 --> 00:29:30,245
- It wasn't a concrete runway
or anything,
661
00:29:30,269 --> 00:29:31,969
but it's still in German hands.
662
00:29:32,071 --> 00:29:34,231
It's got all the facilities
you could need.
663
00:29:34,273 --> 00:29:36,940
It's not on the enemy radar
at all.
664
00:29:37,042 --> 00:29:39,309
You know, that has a lot
to be said for it.
665
00:29:39,411 --> 00:29:41,612
- How long was the runway?
Any idea?
666
00:29:41,714 --> 00:29:45,949
- It would have been about
1,000 times, 1,000 meters.
667
00:29:46,051 --> 00:29:48,118
So... - Not quite a mile.
668
00:29:48,220 --> 00:29:49,419
- Yeah.
669
00:29:49,522 --> 00:29:51,255
- This is pretty big.
670
00:29:51,357 --> 00:29:53,490
But if these trees did exist,
671
00:29:53,559 --> 00:29:55,837
you're certainly not going
to get a big airplane in here.
672
00:29:55,861 --> 00:29:57,327
Maybe a smaller one,
673
00:29:57,429 --> 00:29:59,608
but how's anybody going
to get out of here
674
00:29:59,632 --> 00:30:02,192
on a bigger aircraft and make
his way all the way to Spain?
675
00:30:02,268 --> 00:30:05,102
- That discounts it completely.
676
00:30:05,204 --> 00:30:07,764
- What if these trees
weren't here?
677
00:30:08,641 --> 00:30:10,974
- If there was
nothing there, boom,
678
00:30:11,043 --> 00:30:13,043
perfect spot
to land and take off.
679
00:30:13,145 --> 00:30:17,648
But if those trees were standing
70 years ago, we're in trouble.
680
00:30:19,752 --> 00:30:21,451
This one here looks good.
681
00:30:21,554 --> 00:30:23,031
I'm going to take a sample
of this tree
682
00:30:23,055 --> 00:30:24,488
and make a determination
683
00:30:24,590 --> 00:30:26,824
on how long this tree's
been standing here.
684
00:30:26,926 --> 00:30:29,193
Got to get in there as deep
as I can,
685
00:30:29,261 --> 00:30:34,131
so at least six inches, anyway.
686
00:30:34,233 --> 00:30:36,967
Lenny uses an incremental borer,
687
00:30:37,069 --> 00:30:38,802
a highly specialized instrument
688
00:30:38,904 --> 00:30:41,638
that acquires a sample
from deep within a tree's core
689
00:30:41,740 --> 00:30:44,241
that will allow experts
to determine the age
690
00:30:44,343 --> 00:30:48,412
of these trees
down to the month.
691
00:30:48,514 --> 00:30:51,815
- That's what I'm looking for
right there.
692
00:30:51,917 --> 00:30:53,817
There's my sample.
693
00:30:53,919 --> 00:30:56,687
We're talking about
a 70-year-old cold case here.
694
00:30:56,789 --> 00:30:58,355
The smallest bit of evidence,
695
00:30:58,457 --> 00:31:00,235
like this tree sample
that I just took,
696
00:31:00,259 --> 00:31:02,070
stands in the way
between me knowing
697
00:31:02,094 --> 00:31:04,072
whether or not Hitler
could have flown out of here
698
00:31:04,096 --> 00:31:05,729
on a big aircraft.
699
00:31:05,831 --> 00:31:08,799
These results could be
what makes or breaks the case.
700
00:31:16,175 --> 00:31:17,708
- This manmade structure...
701
00:31:17,810 --> 00:31:19,977
And you can see
where the rock is cut here...
702
00:31:20,079 --> 00:31:22,379
There's no other explanation
for that
703
00:31:22,481 --> 00:31:25,115
except to defend
this group of buildings.
704
00:31:25,217 --> 00:31:27,384
Bob Baer and John Cencich
705
00:31:27,486 --> 00:31:30,254
review the findings from the
team in Misiones, Argentina.
706
00:31:30,322 --> 00:31:32,133
- I mean, I'll go out on a limb.
707
00:31:32,157 --> 00:31:36,393
And considering what we found,
this was a Nazi compound.
708
00:31:38,264 --> 00:31:40,731
You've got weapons, bullets,
709
00:31:40,833 --> 00:31:44,668
guard houses,
defensible perimeter.
710
00:31:44,770 --> 00:31:47,137
It was a Nazi military zone,
711
00:31:47,239 --> 00:31:51,642
and it was protecting one person
who was very important.
712
00:31:51,744 --> 00:31:54,978
Whoever was there
didn't feel comfortable
713
00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:57,114
wandering around South America.
714
00:31:57,216 --> 00:32:00,083
It had to be somebody
really damn important.
715
00:32:00,185 --> 00:32:02,753
The problem is,
the only thing we have
716
00:32:02,855 --> 00:32:06,957
connecting Hitler with this
is the stomach medicine.
717
00:32:07,059 --> 00:32:08,425
- It's a potential connection.
718
00:32:13,699 --> 00:32:16,433
- Hitler has a serious ailment,
719
00:32:16,535 --> 00:32:19,703
and stockpiles of medicine
for that type of problem
720
00:32:19,805 --> 00:32:22,306
are found in this building
in Misiones.
721
00:32:22,408 --> 00:32:25,509
- I think the stomach medicine
is important,
722
00:32:25,611 --> 00:32:27,678
but it's tenuous.
723
00:32:27,780 --> 00:32:29,379
I like the stomach medicine,
724
00:32:29,481 --> 00:32:32,950
but it's really just
highly speculative.
725
00:32:33,052 --> 00:32:34,729
I mean, that's not going
to convince me
726
00:32:34,753 --> 00:32:36,053
at the end of the day.
727
00:32:36,155 --> 00:32:37,821
I want something more.
728
00:32:37,923 --> 00:32:41,325
- Let's not forget
that within 50 miles,
729
00:32:41,427 --> 00:32:43,460
there are several small towns.
730
00:32:43,562 --> 00:32:46,107
From my perspective,
that's the next logical place
731
00:32:46,131 --> 00:32:49,166
to take this investigation,
is to find out
732
00:32:49,268 --> 00:32:52,536
whether or not
there are people still alive
733
00:32:52,638 --> 00:32:55,739
or people alive
that have been told from others
734
00:32:55,841 --> 00:32:57,953
what was going on
at this location.
735
00:32:57,977 --> 00:33:00,844
- Yeah, I'd be shocked
if people in that area
736
00:33:00,946 --> 00:33:03,180
didn't know something
about this compound.
737
00:33:03,282 --> 00:33:05,649
Someone is going to have
something to say
738
00:33:05,751 --> 00:33:07,184
that's going to add
another piece
739
00:33:07,286 --> 00:33:10,654
that may put us closer
to putting Hitler here.
740
00:33:10,756 --> 00:33:12,322
- Sounds like a plan.
741
00:33:26,772 --> 00:33:29,506
- Let's walk across and talk
to that guy right there.
742
00:33:29,608 --> 00:33:31,041
Tim Kennedy makes his way
743
00:33:31,143 --> 00:33:32,509
through the small towns
744
00:33:32,611 --> 00:33:35,012
that make up
the Misiones province,
745
00:33:35,114 --> 00:33:37,347
50 miles from the Nazi
militarized compound
746
00:33:37,449 --> 00:33:38,682
in the jungle.
747
00:33:41,487 --> 00:33:42,953
- No, no, no, no.
748
00:33:47,459 --> 00:33:49,437
- So we'll have to find somebody
to talk to.
749
00:33:49,461 --> 00:33:51,294
Tim is joined
750
00:33:51,397 --> 00:33:54,197
by world-renowned investigative
journalist Gerrard Williams
751
00:33:54,299 --> 00:33:56,433
and a local translator.
752
00:33:56,535 --> 00:33:59,369
- To try and track down
the escape of Adolf Hitler
753
00:33:59,471 --> 00:34:01,104
70 years after it happened
754
00:34:01,206 --> 00:34:03,273
is going to be difficult
for anybody.
755
00:34:03,375 --> 00:34:05,220
- I'm trying to find
German families
756
00:34:05,244 --> 00:34:07,389
that lived in this area
for a really, really long time.
757
00:34:07,413 --> 00:34:08,656
No. - No?
758
00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:10,125
- Okay, bueno.
- Thank you.
759
00:34:10,149 --> 00:34:11,615
- To think that he escaped
760
00:34:11,717 --> 00:34:14,051
and we are still being lied to
70 years on
761
00:34:14,153 --> 00:34:17,320
makes me very, very angry
and always will do.
762
00:34:17,423 --> 00:34:19,467
So we follow
as many leads as we can,
763
00:34:19,491 --> 00:34:21,825
every single thing
that we come up against.
764
00:34:21,927 --> 00:34:23,160
- We're trying to find
765
00:34:23,262 --> 00:34:25,829
if there's any rich
German families.
766
00:34:25,931 --> 00:34:27,464
- No, no, no, no.
767
00:34:31,270 --> 00:34:33,081
- The ones that look like
they'd know something
768
00:34:33,105 --> 00:34:34,516
are the guys
that never want to talk.
769
00:34:34,540 --> 00:34:35,806
- Yeah.
770
00:34:35,908 --> 00:34:37,218
- There's a recurring theme
here.
771
00:34:37,242 --> 00:34:39,076
- Hmm.
- Everywhere.
772
00:34:39,178 --> 00:34:40,710
To this day,
773
00:34:40,813 --> 00:34:46,750
the power of the Nazi idea
still exists here.
774
00:34:46,852 --> 00:34:50,287
People are still tight-lipped,
close-mouthed
775
00:34:50,389 --> 00:34:52,956
about anything
associated with the Nazis.
776
00:34:55,427 --> 00:34:57,527
- Buenas tardes.
- Buenas tardes, chicos.
777
00:34:57,596 --> 00:35:02,165
- My friend and I are trying to
find families here in the area,
778
00:35:02,267 --> 00:35:03,600
specifically German families
779
00:35:03,702 --> 00:35:05,622
that have lived here
a long time.
780
00:35:07,873 --> 00:35:10,118
- He says it could be
a little dangerous, actually,
781
00:35:10,142 --> 00:35:12,843
to talk about it in this area.
782
00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:23,153
- After the war
or before the war?
783
00:35:23,255 --> 00:35:25,288
It's after the war.
784
00:35:25,390 --> 00:35:27,390
- After the war.
- I'm a journalist...
785
00:35:31,396 --> 00:35:33,864
- Okay, he tells us that there
actually is one person
786
00:35:33,966 --> 00:35:35,398
who might could help us out.
787
00:35:37,336 --> 00:35:39,736
- Okay, he's called
Anibel Silvero.
788
00:35:39,838 --> 00:35:40,737
- Silvero.
789
00:35:40,839 --> 00:35:42,372
- He's from here, yeah,
790
00:35:42,474 --> 00:35:44,452
and he knows a lot
of what happened about Nazis.
791
00:35:44,476 --> 00:35:48,411
- It's obvious the city holds
a seriously dark secret.
792
00:35:48,514 --> 00:35:50,225
There are many, many
German families here
793
00:35:50,249 --> 00:35:51,681
that are hiding something.
794
00:35:51,783 --> 00:35:53,761
But you only do that
for one reason:
795
00:35:53,785 --> 00:35:55,585
because they're still scared.
796
00:35:55,687 --> 00:35:57,232
There is still
a huge amount more
797
00:35:57,256 --> 00:35:59,890
to be discovered in Misiones.
798
00:35:59,992 --> 00:36:01,402
And that's
what we're going to do.
799
00:36:01,426 --> 00:36:03,260
We'll get to the bottom of it.
800
00:36:12,237 --> 00:36:14,437
- We're a long way
from a main road, Tim.
801
00:36:14,540 --> 00:36:16,239
- Yeah.
802
00:36:16,341 --> 00:36:18,975
In the outskirts
of Misiones, Argentina,
803
00:36:19,077 --> 00:36:20,989
Tim Kennedy and Gerrard Williams
804
00:36:21,013 --> 00:36:24,147
prepare to make contact
with a local man
805
00:36:24,249 --> 00:36:25,860
who is rumored
to have information
806
00:36:25,884 --> 00:36:28,385
about Nazi activities
in the area.
807
00:36:28,487 --> 00:36:31,254
- Honestly,
I'm not totally comfortable
808
00:36:31,356 --> 00:36:34,724
meeting someone
we haven't vetted in the...
809
00:36:34,826 --> 00:36:36,971
- On a dirt road in the middle
of the forest in Argentina?
810
00:36:36,995 --> 00:36:38,873
- After we've been
walking around town
811
00:36:38,897 --> 00:36:40,263
asking about Nazis.
812
00:36:44,670 --> 00:36:46,269
Their contact
813
00:36:46,371 --> 00:36:48,572
has requested to meet the team
at night,
814
00:36:48,674 --> 00:36:52,275
due to the sensitivity
of his information.
815
00:36:54,780 --> 00:36:57,113
- I got your back.
816
00:36:58,483 --> 00:37:00,417
- Hola, señor.
- Hola.
817
00:37:00,519 --> 00:37:01,829
- Hola, hola.
- Buenas noches.
818
00:37:01,853 --> 00:37:03,464
- Buenas noches.
- Geraldo.
819
00:37:03,488 --> 00:37:04,521
Why are we here?
820
00:37:17,436 --> 00:37:20,537
- Why here, out in the forest,
in the middle of nowhere?
821
00:37:40,292 --> 00:37:43,860
- It's really close. He said
you need to come and see it.
822
00:37:56,575 --> 00:37:59,876
- What the hell is this,
in the middle of the forest?
823
00:38:04,149 --> 00:38:05,315
That's amazing.
824
00:38:12,691 --> 00:38:15,492
- What is this place?
825
00:38:19,698 --> 00:38:21,931
- The house was built
in the '40s,
826
00:38:22,034 --> 00:38:25,502
and this was the most wealthy
family in the area.
827
00:38:37,282 --> 00:38:41,718
- This family had meetings here
in this house under a Nazi flag.
828
00:38:41,820 --> 00:38:43,253
Rumors actually say
829
00:38:43,355 --> 00:38:47,023
that they also were heiling
before going in.
830
00:38:49,461 --> 00:38:52,095
- Is it safe to go inside?
Can we go and walk around?
831
00:38:55,067 --> 00:38:56,299
- Okay.
832
00:39:14,986 --> 00:39:17,654
- What the hell?
833
00:39:22,694 --> 00:39:24,427
Gerrard.
834
00:39:24,529 --> 00:39:25,995
The tile in here?
835
00:39:26,098 --> 00:39:28,431
- Yeah?
836
00:39:28,533 --> 00:39:30,467
- I've seen it before.
837
00:39:30,569 --> 00:39:31,968
- Where?
838
00:39:32,070 --> 00:39:34,971
- In a military compound
off the Paraná river.
839
00:39:35,073 --> 00:39:37,807
- The same style, Tim?
The same color, what?
840
00:39:37,909 --> 00:39:40,410
- The pattern, the layout.
841
00:39:40,512 --> 00:39:42,390
They either
had the same designer,
842
00:39:42,414 --> 00:39:44,092
the same architect,
the same supplier,
843
00:39:44,116 --> 00:39:45,482
or all of the above.
844
00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:52,589
- Well, I'd say
it's been deserted a while.
845
00:39:54,526 --> 00:39:56,393
Why is this house derelict?
846
00:39:56,495 --> 00:39:58,361
Where did the Bremers go?
847
00:40:07,606 --> 00:40:10,507
- Could this house be
a safe house?
848
00:40:10,609 --> 00:40:13,343
Could this simply be a place
where intelligence was gathered?
849
00:40:13,445 --> 00:40:16,279
We don't really know
at this stage.
850
00:40:16,381 --> 00:40:17,881
- Can you ask Anibel...
851
00:40:17,983 --> 00:40:19,961
We need names for people
that we can go and talk to.
852
00:40:19,985 --> 00:40:21,518
Can he supply us with any?
853
00:40:27,959 --> 00:40:29,793
- Goering?
- Goering.
854
00:40:29,895 --> 00:40:33,062
The grand-niece
of Hermann Goering.
855
00:40:33,165 --> 00:40:35,899
- Hermann Goering,
the head of the Luftwaffe,
856
00:40:36,001 --> 00:40:40,370
his great-niece
is living in Misiones?
857
00:40:40,472 --> 00:40:42,071
- Coincidences like this
don't exist.
858
00:40:42,174 --> 00:40:45,175
- It's not a coincidence.
How can it be?
859
00:40:45,277 --> 00:40:48,845
Goering obviously rings
immediate alarm bells
860
00:40:48,947 --> 00:40:51,381
to anybody who studied
the Third Reich.
861
00:40:51,483 --> 00:40:53,983
Goering is a founding member of
the Nazi party,
862
00:40:54,085 --> 00:40:55,563
and in the event
of Hitler's death,
863
00:40:55,587 --> 00:40:57,921
it was Goering
who was to become Fuehrer.
864
00:40:58,023 --> 00:41:02,258
To find a relative of that man
living in Argentina,
865
00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:03,560
in Misiones, is amazing.
866
00:41:03,662 --> 00:41:04,761
- We have to talk to her.
867
00:41:04,863 --> 00:41:06,563
- Yeah, completely.
868
00:41:06,665 --> 00:41:10,200
This is what happens
when you dig in really deeply.
869
00:41:10,268 --> 00:41:14,337
We could be on the verge
of finally finding the truth.
870
00:41:17,008 --> 00:41:19,409
Next time on "Hunting Hitler"...
871
00:41:19,511 --> 00:41:22,178
- Holy. This just got real.
872
00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:23,991
- Where did Margarita find
all this?
873
00:41:24,015 --> 00:41:26,082
- Hidden behind a wall.
- Sí, mira.
874
00:41:26,184 --> 00:41:27,829
- Behind a wall? Why?
875
00:41:27,853 --> 00:41:29,093
What are they trying to hide?
876
00:41:36,495 --> 00:41:38,495
- Look at the damage on that,
Mike!
877
00:41:40,398 --> 00:41:41,742
- Bormann?
- Bormann.
