Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:06,574 --> 00:00:10,211
What was the significance
of Narvik to the Nazis
2
00:00:10,244 --> 00:00:11,445
at the end of the war?
3
00:00:19,187 --> 00:00:20,621
What were the submarines
doing here?
4
00:00:26,727 --> 00:00:28,829
Heavy water is one of
the necessary components
5
00:00:28,862 --> 00:00:30,331
to making a nuclear weapon.
6
00:00:34,868 --> 00:00:37,538
If we're going to find
any evidence of heavy water,
7
00:00:37,571 --> 00:00:38,706
where should I look?
8
00:00:48,782 --> 00:00:51,152
Have we had any
potential targets yet?
9
00:00:51,185 --> 00:00:52,185
No, not yet.
10
00:00:55,156 --> 00:00:55,823
What's that right there?
11
00:00:55,856 --> 00:00:58,392
Ah.
12
00:00:58,426 --> 00:00:59,660
That's massive!
13
00:00:59,693 --> 00:01:01,462
Yeah, that's big. That's big.
14
00:01:01,495 --> 00:01:03,564
We have a hit.
15
00:01:03,597 --> 00:01:06,334
Let's find out what it is.
16
00:01:06,367 --> 00:01:08,807
Throughout this investigation,
Hitler has always left a trail.
17
00:01:08,836 --> 00:01:11,239
What lies beneath us
might give us real evidence
18
00:01:11,272 --> 00:01:15,276
for the very first time
of his plans put in action.
19
00:01:15,309 --> 00:01:17,845
This post-war Nazi machine
was bigger than anything
20
00:01:17,878 --> 00:01:19,413
I could even have imagined.
21
00:02:09,397 --> 00:02:12,733
"The entire Nazi movement
is completely
22
00:02:12,766 --> 00:02:15,936
and perfectly organized
throughout the world."
23
00:02:15,969 --> 00:02:18,906
They weren't going to give up.
They weren't defeated.
24
00:02:18,939 --> 00:02:22,443
They were going to keep going
until they got back on top.
25
00:02:22,476 --> 00:02:25,313
Bob Baer, 21-year CIA veteran,
26
00:02:25,346 --> 00:02:26,847
and one of the most
respected minds
27
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:28,816
in the intelligence community,
28
00:02:28,849 --> 00:02:32,353
has spent the last two years
overseeing a global manhunt
29
00:02:32,386 --> 00:02:34,622
to uncover the fate
of Adolf Hitler
30
00:02:34,655 --> 00:02:36,857
at the end of World War II.
31
00:02:36,890 --> 00:02:39,527
Holy crap. That's a swastika.
32
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:41,962
Biggest criminal
in modern history
33
00:02:41,995 --> 00:02:44,698
supposedly commits
suicide in this bunker.
34
00:02:44,732 --> 00:02:46,400
But where is the body?
35
00:02:46,434 --> 00:02:49,603
There are no witnesses
that saw him dead.
36
00:02:49,637 --> 00:02:51,639
We first started
this investigation
37
00:02:51,672 --> 00:02:55,776
because we had no conclusive
proof he died in the bunker.
38
00:02:55,809 --> 00:02:59,413
The body that was wrapped up
in that blanket was not him.
39
00:02:59,447 --> 00:03:00,781
That's a problem.
40
00:03:00,814 --> 00:03:02,816
The more we kept digging,
41
00:03:02,850 --> 00:03:05,986
we established that he could've
made it not only out of Germany,
42
00:03:06,019 --> 00:03:09,357
but he could have made it
all the way to South America.
43
00:03:09,390 --> 00:03:13,494
And beyond that, we established
there was a plan to get Hitler
44
00:03:13,527 --> 00:03:16,430
and thousands
of Nazis to safety.
45
00:03:16,464 --> 00:03:20,701
This is a nasty nest of vipers
right in the middle of Europe.
46
00:03:20,734 --> 00:03:24,572
Hitler would've had massive
infrastructure, safe houses,
47
00:03:24,605 --> 00:03:27,007
money, military compounds,
48
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:31,679
and the support of a massive
network of associates.
49
00:03:31,712 --> 00:03:35,649
This was not Saddam Hussein
hiding in a spider hole.
50
00:03:35,683 --> 00:03:39,487
This was a well-organized,
well-funded plan
51
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:44,392
that was set up years in advance
to get Hitler to safety.
52
00:03:44,425 --> 00:03:46,527
He has everything
that he needs to do, I think,
53
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:49,430
anything that he wants.
And that's scary.
54
00:03:49,463 --> 00:03:52,666
In the last 70 years,
no one has ever been this close
55
00:03:52,700 --> 00:03:55,002
to discovering
the truth about Hitler.
56
00:03:55,035 --> 00:03:57,971
What we found is absolutely
ground-breaking,
57
00:03:58,005 --> 00:04:01,442
but doesn't tell us exactly
what happened to Adolf Hitler.
58
00:04:01,475 --> 00:04:06,380
We need to find where he went
and exactly how he got there.
59
00:04:06,414 --> 00:04:08,349
Now we have to close this case.
60
00:04:08,382 --> 00:04:11,585
And to do that, we're going
to change our strategy.
61
00:04:11,619 --> 00:04:14,788
We're going to do what every
intelligence agency does
62
00:04:14,822 --> 00:04:18,459
when they want
to capture their target.
63
00:04:18,492 --> 00:04:21,429
We're going to use a strategy
called asset-mapping,
64
00:04:21,462 --> 00:04:23,864
which means uncovering
his support network
65
00:04:23,897 --> 00:04:25,966
of close associates.
66
00:04:25,999 --> 00:04:29,537
And we are going to simply
analyze these links
67
00:04:29,570 --> 00:04:33,374
and figure out how they may
have helped him get away.
68
00:04:33,407 --> 00:04:34,608
This is what I've done
69
00:04:34,642 --> 00:04:36,544
throughout my whole career
at the CIA...
70
00:04:36,577 --> 00:04:39,947
Looking at networks to track
down high-value terrorists.
71
00:04:39,980 --> 00:04:42,950
To execute this new approach
to the investigation,
72
00:04:42,983 --> 00:04:46,019
Nada Bakos, former
terrorist-targeting officer
73
00:04:46,053 --> 00:04:48,055
and an expert in
the asset-mapping method,
74
00:04:48,088 --> 00:04:49,857
joins the team.
75
00:04:49,890 --> 00:04:53,461
From 2000 to 2011,
Nada was at the heart
76
00:04:53,494 --> 00:04:55,863
of the CIA task force
responsible
77
00:04:55,896 --> 00:04:58,065
for dismantling
the Al-Qaeda network
78
00:04:58,098 --> 00:04:59,667
and its biggest targets,
79
00:04:59,700 --> 00:05:03,404
Osama Bin Laden
and Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.
80
00:05:03,437 --> 00:05:04,772
To take down a whole network,
81
00:05:04,805 --> 00:05:06,807
you work on one detail
at a time...
82
00:05:06,840 --> 00:05:10,344
One person at a time, one piece
of information at at time...
83
00:05:10,378 --> 00:05:12,480
That will eventually
lead you to your target.
84
00:05:12,513 --> 00:05:16,617
You're going to build a picture
which represents the network
85
00:05:16,650 --> 00:05:18,519
that's around
the high-value target.
86
00:05:18,552 --> 00:05:21,355
If you want to hunt for
somebody, go to Nada Bakos.
87
00:05:21,389 --> 00:05:23,391
She's one of the best.
88
00:05:23,424 --> 00:05:27,961
People put their lives in her
hands based on her judgement.
89
00:05:27,995 --> 00:05:30,664
To find this guy,
we have to understand
90
00:05:30,698 --> 00:05:32,533
where he went for help.
91
00:05:32,566 --> 00:05:35,936
Even the smallest connection
can break this case wide open.
92
00:05:35,969 --> 00:05:37,738
Like Bin Laden.
93
00:05:37,771 --> 00:05:40,441
He relied on a courier to
keep him alive, keep him safe.
94
00:05:40,474 --> 00:05:42,410
And they finally were
able to capture him
95
00:05:42,443 --> 00:05:44,044
because of the courier.
96
00:05:44,077 --> 00:05:47,515
That's how you find people
that don't want to be found.
97
00:05:47,548 --> 00:05:51,652
This is the final step
in hunting a human being.
98
00:05:51,685 --> 00:05:55,155
And that needs to be the next
step for this investigation.
99
00:05:55,188 --> 00:05:59,092
By taking apart that network,
Hitler's got nowhere to hide.
100
00:06:05,599 --> 00:06:07,868
If we're going to map
the assets around Hitler,
101
00:06:07,901 --> 00:06:09,603
the first step is
looking at the family
102
00:06:09,637 --> 00:06:12,640
because they're some of the
closest people to the target.
103
00:06:12,673 --> 00:06:15,443
And that usually gives us
new pieces of intelligence
104
00:06:15,476 --> 00:06:16,910
that we can then follow.
105
00:06:16,944 --> 00:06:20,013
Well, I think absolutely
we should start there.
106
00:06:20,047 --> 00:06:23,183
As Bob and Nada initiate
their asset-mapping strategy,
107
00:06:23,216 --> 00:06:25,953
they're assisted by a
first-of-its-kind database
108
00:06:25,986 --> 00:06:28,589
that combines powerful
network search tools,
109
00:06:28,622 --> 00:06:30,123
link analysis software,
110
00:06:30,157 --> 00:06:33,727
and 14,000 recently
declassified documents
111
00:06:33,761 --> 00:06:38,466
from every major intelligence
agency around the world.
112
00:06:38,499 --> 00:06:40,534
So, this is Hitler's
immediate family.
113
00:06:40,568 --> 00:06:44,137
And by the time he is 18,
both of his parents pass away.
114
00:06:44,171 --> 00:06:46,674
And we can eliminate
his half-brother, Alois,
115
00:06:46,707 --> 00:06:49,577
because they were estranged
and didn't have a relationship.
116
00:06:49,610 --> 00:06:51,445
Four of his siblings died
during childhood,
117
00:06:51,479 --> 00:06:54,014
so we can eliminate all of them.
118
00:06:54,047 --> 00:06:56,684
And what we have left is Adolf
and his two sisters,
119
00:06:56,717 --> 00:06:59,453
Angela and Paula.
120
00:06:59,487 --> 00:07:01,755
The two sisters now
should be our target.
121
00:07:01,789 --> 00:07:03,957
Let's find out
what happened to them.
122
00:07:03,991 --> 00:07:10,564
Paula and Angela Hitler,
April 1945.
123
00:07:10,598 --> 00:07:12,099
Look, we got a bunch of hits.
124
00:07:12,132 --> 00:07:13,734
Okay, we got... Look.
125
00:07:13,767 --> 00:07:18,171
The database has a 91%
match for these keywords.
126
00:07:18,205 --> 00:07:22,009
US Army, July 12, 1945...
127
00:07:22,042 --> 00:07:24,978
This was an interview
with Hitler's sister.
128
00:07:25,012 --> 00:07:28,882
"My coming to Berchtesgaden
was very strange.
129
00:07:28,916 --> 00:07:30,684
One morning in
the middle of April,
130
00:07:30,718 --> 00:07:32,219
a driver entered the house
131
00:07:32,252 --> 00:07:35,956
and told me we were supposed
to leave in two hours."
132
00:07:35,989 --> 00:07:40,861
Here's Hitler pulling his two
sisters out of their homes
133
00:07:40,894 --> 00:07:42,496
and moving them
to Berchtesgaden.
134
00:07:42,530 --> 00:07:44,231
And that's big.
135
00:07:44,264 --> 00:07:45,833
Okay, look.
136
00:07:45,866 --> 00:07:48,502
Here's Berlin.
137
00:07:48,536 --> 00:07:52,039
And we've got
Berchtesgaden down here.
138
00:07:52,072 --> 00:07:56,610
That's an hour flight,
350 miles south.
139
00:07:56,644 --> 00:08:01,281
He obviously trusts his sisters
to be located in this area.
140
00:08:01,314 --> 00:08:03,216
So, why Berchtesgaden?
141
00:08:03,250 --> 00:08:05,152
You know, what we
have to remember
142
00:08:05,185 --> 00:08:08,756
is Berchtesgaden
is Hitler's home.
143
00:08:08,789 --> 00:08:11,525
He felt comfortable there.
144
00:08:11,559 --> 00:08:13,961
Built deep into the mountains
of southern Germany,
145
00:08:13,994 --> 00:08:16,229
the small town
of Berchtesgaden was home
146
00:08:16,263 --> 00:08:18,065
to the Fuhrer's
Alpine headquarters
147
00:08:18,098 --> 00:08:20,300
known as the Berghof.
148
00:08:20,333 --> 00:08:22,269
Hitler spent more time
at this home
149
00:08:22,302 --> 00:08:24,572
than anywhere else
during World War II.
150
00:08:24,605 --> 00:08:27,040
And from this balcony in 1939,
151
00:08:27,074 --> 00:08:29,142
he made the decision
to invade Poland,
152
00:08:29,176 --> 00:08:31,779
officially commencing the war.
153
00:08:31,812 --> 00:08:33,547
And look at this file.
154
00:08:33,581 --> 00:08:37,250
US Army, April 7, 1945...
155
00:08:37,284 --> 00:08:41,889
This is a secret memo from
Eisenhower to the High Command,
156
00:08:41,922 --> 00:08:44,692
right before the fall of Berlin.
157
00:08:44,725 --> 00:08:46,860
"Berlin itself is no longer
158
00:08:46,894 --> 00:08:49,062
a particularly
important objective.
159
00:08:49,096 --> 00:08:52,566
We proceed on the general plan
of attempting to disrupt
160
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:54,267
any German effort
161
00:08:54,301 --> 00:08:58,105
to establish a fortress
in the southern mountains."
162
00:08:58,138 --> 00:08:59,840
That's Berchtesgaden.
163
00:08:59,873 --> 00:09:02,242
This is Eisenhower
in his own words...
164
00:09:02,275 --> 00:09:04,812
"We don't care about
Berlin anymore."
165
00:09:04,845 --> 00:09:06,647
Rather than going
north up to Berlin,
166
00:09:06,680 --> 00:09:10,250
he's going 350 miles
south to Berchtesgaden.
167
00:09:10,283 --> 00:09:12,853
I'm seeing Berchtesgaden
coming several times,
168
00:09:12,886 --> 00:09:15,055
with Hitler's sisters
and now with Eisenhower
169
00:09:15,088 --> 00:09:17,024
sending troops down
to southern Germany.
170
00:09:17,057 --> 00:09:20,594
I wonder what it is about
the region that is so important.
171
00:09:20,628 --> 00:09:23,196
They had to have intelligence
172
00:09:23,230 --> 00:09:24,998
that the leadership
was going there.
173
00:09:25,032 --> 00:09:26,934
For me, it's very simple.
174
00:09:26,967 --> 00:09:31,705
The only way Eisenhower would
divert his assault on Berlin
175
00:09:31,739 --> 00:09:33,373
is if he found a new target.
176
00:09:33,406 --> 00:09:36,309
There's something more important
in Berchtesgaden than there
177
00:09:36,343 --> 00:09:37,911
is in Berlin.
178
00:09:37,945 --> 00:09:40,180
It's not an accident
they're all going there.
179
00:09:40,213 --> 00:09:43,016
The question is, is it
part of a bigger plan?
180
00:09:43,050 --> 00:09:45,786
What was happening
in Berchtesgaden
181
00:09:45,819 --> 00:09:47,287
at the end of the war?
182
00:10:01,101 --> 00:10:04,672
If he's sending his family,
it's because he knows it's safe.
183
00:10:04,705 --> 00:10:06,239
Exactly.
184
00:10:06,273 --> 00:10:08,876
US Army
Special Forces Tim Kennedy
185
00:10:08,909 --> 00:10:11,311
and world-renowned historian
James Holland
186
00:10:11,344 --> 00:10:14,748
land in Berchtesgaden, Germany.
187
00:10:14,782 --> 00:10:17,384
We know that Adolf Hitler's
sisters were sent here
188
00:10:17,417 --> 00:10:19,052
to these mountains,
189
00:10:19,086 --> 00:10:21,054
the exact same mountains
that Eisenhower
190
00:10:21,088 --> 00:10:22,723
is looking for
a southern fortress.
191
00:10:22,756 --> 00:10:24,692
It is imperative
for us to find out
192
00:10:24,725 --> 00:10:26,435
if there was a plan
in place for Adolf Hitler
193
00:10:26,459 --> 00:10:28,796
to come here
at the end of the war.
194
00:10:28,829 --> 00:10:31,999
You certainly get the lay
of the land from up here.
Without a doubt.
195
00:10:32,032 --> 00:10:33,767
The team begins
their investigation
196
00:10:33,801 --> 00:10:36,136
into Hitler's potential escape
through Berchtesgaden
197
00:10:36,169 --> 00:10:40,240
at a lookout point 6,000 feet
above the valley floor.
198
00:10:40,273 --> 00:10:44,077
So, that down there, Tim,
that's Berchtesgaden.
199
00:10:44,111 --> 00:10:46,847
And Hitler's home
was in the city?
200
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:48,949
Well, he wasn't actually
in the town at all.
201
00:10:48,982 --> 00:10:51,251
He was in a place called
the Obersalzberg, which is...
202
00:10:51,284 --> 00:10:53,286
Actually, it's that
saddle just down there.
203
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:55,122
That is the Obersalzberg.
204
00:10:55,155 --> 00:10:58,358
Hitler's house is right
in the center,
205
00:10:58,391 --> 00:11:00,460
but today, you can't see it
206
00:11:00,493 --> 00:11:03,163
because a lot of it
has been destroyed.
207
00:11:03,196 --> 00:11:05,332
Hitler's here, and suddenly,
208
00:11:05,365 --> 00:11:07,434
other Nazis start buying
houses there as well.
209
00:11:07,467 --> 00:11:09,970
And they just colonized
this whole area here.
210
00:11:10,003 --> 00:11:12,906
You think of Hitler as the king,
this is his palace,
211
00:11:12,940 --> 00:11:14,180
and this is the palace grounds.
212
00:11:14,207 --> 00:11:16,376
That's it.
213
00:11:16,409 --> 00:11:19,713
This investigation has turned
towards Hitler's network here.
214
00:11:19,747 --> 00:11:22,082
And now we have a Nazi
compound in the mountains.
215
00:11:22,115 --> 00:11:25,052
It's vital to us to know who
was here at the end of the war
216
00:11:25,085 --> 00:11:29,823
that might have aided in
escape plans for Adolf Hitler.
217
00:11:29,857 --> 00:11:32,025
Lisa, hello. Hi.
218
00:11:32,059 --> 00:11:34,862
Tim and James make
contact with local expert
219
00:11:34,895 --> 00:11:36,429
Lisa Graff-Ryman,
220
00:11:36,463 --> 00:11:38,231
who has spent the last 20 years
221
00:11:38,265 --> 00:11:41,201
studying the history
of the region.
222
00:11:41,234 --> 00:11:43,236
Lisa, right at the very end
of the war,
223
00:11:43,270 --> 00:11:45,472
Hitler sends his sisters here.
224
00:11:45,505 --> 00:11:47,941
Who else was here
in Obersalzberg
225
00:11:47,975 --> 00:11:49,215
and Berchtesgaden at that time?
226
00:11:59,552 --> 00:12:01,855
Who was the head
of Hitler's cabinet.
227
00:12:01,889 --> 00:12:02,889
Yeah.
228
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:08,762
Goering, who was Hitler's number
229
00:12:08,796 --> 00:12:10,130
Yes, mm-hmm.
230
00:12:10,163 --> 00:12:12,132
What's interesting
about this period
231
00:12:12,165 --> 00:12:15,869
right at the very end of the war
is the Russians are closing in,
232
00:12:15,903 --> 00:12:18,171
and some of the key members
of Hitler's inner circle
233
00:12:18,205 --> 00:12:21,074
are escaping here
to Berchtesgaden.
234
00:12:21,108 --> 00:12:22,810
It's just incredible.
235
00:12:22,843 --> 00:12:25,112
Not only did Adolf Hitler
send his family,
236
00:12:25,145 --> 00:12:28,115
but also the upper echelon
of the Nazi Party
237
00:12:28,148 --> 00:12:30,083
was here at the end of the war.
238
00:12:30,117 --> 00:12:33,220
I'm convinced that Eisenhower
knew something that we don't.
239
00:12:43,130 --> 00:12:44,440
Everybody's heading
to Berchtesgaden.
240
00:12:44,464 --> 00:12:46,199
It's incredible.
241
00:12:46,233 --> 00:12:48,836
So there's a reason Eisenhower
diverted everybody.
242
00:12:48,869 --> 00:12:50,337
Bob and Nada review the findings
243
00:12:50,370 --> 00:12:52,940
the team uncovered
in southern Germany,
244
00:12:52,973 --> 00:12:57,010
where a declassified document
claims Berchtesgaden,
245
00:12:57,044 --> 00:12:59,412
the resort town where
Hitler made his home,
246
00:12:59,446 --> 00:13:02,883
may have been the location
of a secret Nazi escape plan.
247
00:13:05,185 --> 00:13:10,057
At the end of the war,
we can place Lammers and Goering
248
00:13:10,090 --> 00:13:11,424
at Berchtesgaden.
249
00:13:11,458 --> 00:13:13,894
These guys are key spokes
in the wheel.
250
00:13:13,927 --> 00:13:15,338
You're not going to have
this kind of gathering
251
00:13:15,362 --> 00:13:18,131
of high-ranking officials
without a good reason.
252
00:13:18,165 --> 00:13:21,368
This is some sort of
secret plan, no doubt about it.
253
00:13:21,401 --> 00:13:24,571
Let's see what we can find
in the database.
254
00:13:24,604 --> 00:13:26,439
Here we go.
255
00:13:26,473 --> 00:13:29,409
Reporting agency...
OSS, predecessor of the CIA...
256
00:13:29,442 --> 00:13:31,912
April 26, 1945.
257
00:13:31,945 --> 00:13:34,414
"Hitler's new hideout.
258
00:13:34,447 --> 00:13:38,551
A high Nazi Party official
in Hitler's immediate entourage
259
00:13:38,585 --> 00:13:42,622
have asked him to suggest
an inconspicuous place
260
00:13:42,655 --> 00:13:44,491
for Hitler in Berchtesgaden.
261
00:13:44,524 --> 00:13:46,559
You know, it doesn't get
any bigger than this.
262
00:13:46,593 --> 00:13:49,329
You've got this OSS report
263
00:13:49,362 --> 00:13:52,232
essentially putting Hitler
in Berchtesgaden.
264
00:13:52,265 --> 00:13:54,467
You know, you couple this
with Eisenhower
265
00:13:54,501 --> 00:13:57,337
taking the whole
Allied effort down there,
266
00:13:57,370 --> 00:14:00,640
and the fact that
his whole core leadership
267
00:14:00,673 --> 00:14:04,077
were going to Berchtesgaden.
This is a huge revelation.
268
00:14:04,111 --> 00:14:06,213
I think it is perfectly possible
269
00:14:06,246 --> 00:14:08,581
that after his last
public appearance,
270
00:14:08,615 --> 00:14:11,184
he decides to go
to Berchtesgaden.
271
00:14:11,218 --> 00:14:14,454
Hitler was last seen in public
speaking to the Hitler Youth
272
00:14:14,487 --> 00:14:17,524
on April 20, 1945.
273
00:14:17,557 --> 00:14:20,627
Soviet forces stormed
the bunker on May 2nd,
274
00:14:20,660 --> 00:14:22,495
leaving a 12-day window
275
00:14:22,529 --> 00:14:25,865
where the true location
of the Fuhrer remains unknown.
276
00:14:29,102 --> 00:14:31,271
Look, we've spent all this time
277
00:14:31,304 --> 00:14:34,975
looking for ways out of
the bunker before May 2nd.
278
00:14:35,008 --> 00:14:37,177
But maybe he wasn't even there.
279
00:14:37,210 --> 00:14:40,380
Maybe we're looking
in the wrong place.
280
00:14:40,413 --> 00:14:43,984
Maybe he was in Berchtesgaden
the whole time.
281
00:14:44,017 --> 00:14:47,921
This completely changes
this investigation.
282
00:14:47,955 --> 00:14:51,191
The question I have is,
would Hitler have done that?
283
00:14:51,224 --> 00:14:53,626
As the most wanted man
in the world at the time,
284
00:14:53,660 --> 00:14:56,163
does it make sense for him
to actually leave Berlin
285
00:14:56,196 --> 00:14:59,599
and travel down to
Berchtesgaden at this point?
286
00:14:59,632 --> 00:15:02,469
With everyone looking for him,
he wouldn't go someplace
287
00:15:02,502 --> 00:15:05,438
unless it was just as safe
as the Fuhrerbunker.
288
00:15:05,472 --> 00:15:06,673
Well, that's a good question.
289
00:15:06,706 --> 00:15:09,176
I mean, what did he
have in place
290
00:15:09,209 --> 00:15:11,078
that would allow him to move
291
00:15:11,111 --> 00:15:13,546
from the Fuhrerbunker
to Berchtesgaden?
292
00:15:13,580 --> 00:15:15,983
I think this is absolutely
worth checking out.
293
00:15:16,016 --> 00:15:17,350
Yeah.
294
00:15:17,384 --> 00:15:18,594
Tim and James have got
to get on this.
295
00:15:29,629 --> 00:15:32,099
Up this hill used to be
the main entrance.
296
00:15:32,132 --> 00:15:34,001
To Hitler's driveway? Yep.
297
00:15:34,034 --> 00:15:37,104
Deep in the Alpine region
of southern Germany,
298
00:15:37,137 --> 00:15:39,406
Tim and James
investigate the site
299
00:15:39,439 --> 00:15:43,110
of Hitler's former
mountain retreat
300
00:15:43,143 --> 00:15:46,379
located in the center
of the Obersalzberg compound.
301
00:15:49,249 --> 00:15:52,119
If you're bringing Adolf Hitler
here at the end of the war,
302
00:15:52,152 --> 00:15:54,154
he needs to know that he's safe.
303
00:15:54,187 --> 00:15:56,023
We need to dig
into this area to see
304
00:15:56,056 --> 00:15:59,092
if it could've provided
enough security for Adolf Hitler
305
00:15:59,126 --> 00:16:01,494
to relocate from Berlin.
306
00:16:01,528 --> 00:16:04,731
We are actually walking where
Hitler walked countless times.
307
00:16:04,764 --> 00:16:06,099
Yeah.
308
00:16:06,133 --> 00:16:07,234
It's just amazing.
309
00:16:07,267 --> 00:16:08,268
This is the Berghof.
310
00:16:11,471 --> 00:16:13,106
You can see it's in
a pretty bad state.
311
00:16:13,140 --> 00:16:16,343
Yeah. What happened here?
312
00:16:16,376 --> 00:16:20,480
The German Government
blew it up in 1952.
313
00:16:20,513 --> 00:16:24,117
What they did was
they destroyed it, bulldozed it,
314
00:16:24,151 --> 00:16:25,794
and they've covered it
with rubble and soil
315
00:16:25,818 --> 00:16:28,288
and planted trees.
316
00:16:28,321 --> 00:16:31,124
And this is really the only
major bit that still remains,
317
00:16:31,158 --> 00:16:35,328
a kind of retaining wall
behind the Berghof.
318
00:16:35,362 --> 00:16:37,597
That's what it
originally looked like.
319
00:16:37,630 --> 00:16:39,699
You're starting to get
a scale of it.
320
00:16:42,602 --> 00:16:44,237
This was no small house.
321
00:16:46,673 --> 00:16:48,651
Do you have any idea
what kind of security measures
322
00:16:48,675 --> 00:16:51,544
they had in place
here to protect it?
323
00:16:51,578 --> 00:16:54,614
Well, I know the entire area
was cordoned off.
324
00:16:54,647 --> 00:16:58,251
But what there was
around here, I'm not sure.
325
00:16:58,285 --> 00:17:00,653
He's never going to leave
the Fuhrerbunker in Berlin
326
00:17:00,687 --> 00:17:03,223
if he's vulnerable and exposed.
327
00:17:03,256 --> 00:17:07,060
There has to be more here...
A bunker or a tunnel complex.
328
00:17:07,094 --> 00:17:08,695
Yeah, I agree.
329
00:17:08,728 --> 00:17:12,832
The Fuhrerbunker in Berlin
is a bombproof shelter.
330
00:17:12,865 --> 00:17:16,769
I mean, that is a serious
amount of concrete.
331
00:17:16,803 --> 00:17:19,172
Hitler was obsessed
with security.
332
00:17:19,206 --> 00:17:21,174
If Hitler is going
to leave Berlin,
333
00:17:21,208 --> 00:17:23,510
he would need something
that's better
334
00:17:23,543 --> 00:17:25,212
than what they already have.
335
00:17:28,148 --> 00:17:30,293
We need to find the things
that would've protected him.
336
00:17:35,122 --> 00:17:37,724
Look at this, Tim.
It's just stones, bricks.
337
00:17:37,757 --> 00:17:40,760
Hang on. What do you think
this could be?
338
00:17:40,793 --> 00:17:43,730
I mean, that's not going to be
a bunker entrance, is it,
339
00:17:43,763 --> 00:17:45,765
or exit? No.
340
00:17:45,798 --> 00:17:47,700
No, but...
341
00:17:47,734 --> 00:17:48,868
But it's something. Yeah.
342
00:17:48,901 --> 00:17:51,571
There's little pipes.
343
00:17:51,604 --> 00:17:54,107
There's holes... three of them.
344
00:17:54,141 --> 00:17:55,718
So, you think this is
some kind of drainage
345
00:17:55,742 --> 00:17:56,843
or cistern or something?
346
00:17:56,876 --> 00:17:58,511
It could be drainage.
347
00:17:58,545 --> 00:18:00,547
They also might be
running lines through there.
348
00:18:00,580 --> 00:18:02,415
Communication lines,
wires and things?
349
00:18:02,449 --> 00:18:04,217
Or just power. Right.
350
00:18:04,251 --> 00:18:07,187
And they're pointing
this direction, like this.
351
00:18:07,220 --> 00:18:08,688
So, keep going this way.
352
00:18:08,721 --> 00:18:10,890
Yeah.
353
00:18:10,923 --> 00:18:14,527
We have to be getting
close to something.
354
00:18:14,561 --> 00:18:17,164
Well, look. It looks like there's
some earth that's been moved.
355
00:18:17,197 --> 00:18:19,266
There's a big chunk
taken out of the side.
356
00:18:22,935 --> 00:18:24,404
Hey, hang on a minute!
Look at this!
357
00:18:24,437 --> 00:18:26,739
Concrete!
358
00:18:26,773 --> 00:18:30,410
Look at that.
359
00:18:30,443 --> 00:18:32,879
That is a door.
360
00:18:32,912 --> 00:18:36,349
Holy.
361
00:18:36,383 --> 00:18:38,351
300 yards
from Hitler's former home,
362
00:18:38,385 --> 00:18:40,720
the team locates
a reinforced steel door
363
00:18:40,753 --> 00:18:42,789
built into the side of the hill.
364
00:18:42,822 --> 00:18:48,695
This has the exact same
massive concrete protection
365
00:18:48,728 --> 00:18:51,264
as you see in
the bunkers in Berlin.
366
00:18:52,865 --> 00:18:54,801
Oh! That's hollow.
367
00:18:54,834 --> 00:18:56,703
Yeah, it is, isn't it?
368
00:18:56,736 --> 00:18:59,772
Knocking on that door,
you have that hollow,
369
00:18:59,806 --> 00:19:03,943
echoing sound that you get
from inside of a cave.
370
00:19:03,976 --> 00:19:06,879
It sounded like it went forever.
371
00:19:06,913 --> 00:19:11,718
We have a huge steel door
blocking us from gaining access
372
00:19:11,751 --> 00:19:14,687
to a massive,
major, empty tunnel.
373
00:19:17,757 --> 00:19:20,527
I can guarantee you that
it's not just a wine cellar
374
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:21,894
or a storage room.
375
00:19:21,928 --> 00:19:24,197
We have to know
what's behind that door.
376
00:19:33,806 --> 00:19:37,544
Underneath Hitler's house,
look at this door.
377
00:19:37,577 --> 00:19:39,212
I mean, look at the walls.
378
00:19:39,246 --> 00:19:42,549
This was not just
a vacation house, clearly.
379
00:19:42,582 --> 00:19:45,618
Bob and Nada review
the findings from Hitler's home
380
00:19:45,652 --> 00:19:46,929
in the mountains
of Berchtesgaden
381
00:19:46,953 --> 00:19:49,256
in southern Germany
382
00:19:49,289 --> 00:19:51,724
where a declassified document
could point to Hitler
383
00:19:51,758 --> 00:19:54,794
hiding out at the end of the war
during the time period
384
00:19:54,827 --> 00:19:57,730
he was believed to be in Berlin.
385
00:19:57,764 --> 00:20:03,236
Does this door lead to a bunker
like the one he had in Berlin?
386
00:20:03,270 --> 00:20:05,772
We've got to figure out
how to get in there. Yeah.
387
00:20:05,805 --> 00:20:08,475
While the team works
contacts to gain access
388
00:20:08,508 --> 00:20:10,477
to what lies behind the door,
389
00:20:10,510 --> 00:20:12,679
Bob and Nada uncover intel
390
00:20:12,712 --> 00:20:15,582
that could open a new front
in their investigation.
391
00:20:15,615 --> 00:20:17,350
Bob, you've got to take
a look at this file.
392
00:20:17,384 --> 00:20:22,355
So, this is from OSS
in June 12, 1945.
393
00:20:22,389 --> 00:20:24,357
Look at this line.
394
00:20:24,391 --> 00:20:25,968
"At this time, the decision
had been taken
395
00:20:25,992 --> 00:20:28,395
to divide the ministries
in two parts
396
00:20:28,428 --> 00:20:29,938
and establish one
government in the north
397
00:20:29,962 --> 00:20:31,831
and one in the south."
398
00:20:31,864 --> 00:20:34,434
What this file tells me
is they're splitting up,
399
00:20:34,467 --> 00:20:37,937
creating multiple escape routes.
400
00:20:37,970 --> 00:20:40,940
I mean, this is textbook
redundancy.
401
00:20:40,973 --> 00:20:43,443
North gets cut off,
you head south.
402
00:20:43,476 --> 00:20:45,778
South gets cut off,
you head north.
403
00:20:45,812 --> 00:20:48,848
That's one of the best survival
skills that networks build,
404
00:20:48,881 --> 00:20:51,918
is to give themselves
more than one escape route.
405
00:20:51,951 --> 00:20:54,287
Hitler could've taken
either one of these.
406
00:20:54,321 --> 00:20:56,956
He could've gone north,
or he could've gone south.
407
00:20:56,989 --> 00:20:59,759
In order to find out
which path he took,
408
00:20:59,792 --> 00:21:01,961
we need to look at both routes.
409
00:21:01,994 --> 00:21:04,030
The south has got
to be Berchtesgaden.
410
00:21:04,063 --> 00:21:05,932
Yes. Yeah, absolutely.
411
00:21:05,965 --> 00:21:07,876
So, I guess the bigger
question is... Who went north?
412
00:21:07,900 --> 00:21:09,869
...who went north? Yeah.
413
00:21:09,902 --> 00:21:11,847
Because if we want to find out
more about this escape route,
414
00:21:11,871 --> 00:21:13,773
we need to find out
who's running it.
415
00:21:13,806 --> 00:21:15,651
Who would have enough
familiarity with the north
416
00:21:15,675 --> 00:21:18,010
that would be able
to facilitate this route?
417
00:21:18,044 --> 00:21:19,979
Well, one of his
close associates,
418
00:21:20,012 --> 00:21:22,014
the head of the SS, Himmler,
419
00:21:22,048 --> 00:21:24,517
was caught in the north
trying to escape.
420
00:21:24,551 --> 00:21:27,554
Himmler is the guy we want
to start working on.
421
00:21:27,587 --> 00:21:30,390
Heinrich Himmler was one of
the most powerful figures
422
00:21:30,423 --> 00:21:32,024
in the Third Reich,
423
00:21:32,058 --> 00:21:34,794
and directly responsible
for Hitler's personal safety.
424
00:21:34,827 --> 00:21:37,397
Himmler fled Berlin
at the end of the war
425
00:21:37,430 --> 00:21:41,668
and was captured in Bremervorde,
northern Germany on May 22nd,
426
00:21:41,701 --> 00:21:46,406
three weeks after Hitler
was believed dead.
427
00:21:46,439 --> 00:21:48,708
Here we go.
428
00:21:48,741 --> 00:21:54,080
MI6, October 22, 1945.
429
00:21:54,113 --> 00:21:57,350
"The SS unit, about 30 men,
430
00:21:57,384 --> 00:21:59,586
withdrew to
the Hohenlychen area.
431
00:21:59,619 --> 00:22:03,423
I found out immediately that
Himmler's headquarters
432
00:22:03,456 --> 00:22:05,525
were located there."
433
00:22:05,558 --> 00:22:08,127
Hohenlychen is
Himmler's headquarters.
434
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:11,564
Let's pull a map and find out
where it's located.
435
00:22:11,598 --> 00:22:13,933
Let's take a look.
436
00:22:13,966 --> 00:22:16,936
You've got Berlin here,
Hohenlychen here.
437
00:22:16,969 --> 00:22:19,071
Himmler goes to Hohenlychen.
438
00:22:19,105 --> 00:22:21,508
It's only 65 miles.
439
00:22:21,541 --> 00:22:23,443
All the pieces are
coming together.
440
00:22:23,476 --> 00:22:27,480
We have a northern escape route,
and now we have a report
441
00:22:27,514 --> 00:22:31,984
saying that Himmler has his
headquarters near Hohenlychen.
442
00:22:32,018 --> 00:22:34,053
But did Hohenlychen have
the infrastructure
443
00:22:34,086 --> 00:22:36,889
that would've facilitated
an escape to the north?
444
00:22:36,923 --> 00:22:39,025
Exactly. That's the question.
445
00:22:39,058 --> 00:22:41,828
I think this warrants
splitting the investigation.
446
00:22:41,861 --> 00:22:45,498
We should get a second team
on the ground, send them north.
447
00:22:45,532 --> 00:22:47,967
What did they have
in Hohenlychen
448
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:51,671
that would've helped Himmler
and Hitler get away?
449
00:23:03,983 --> 00:23:06,052
Is it a possible
northern route for Hitler?
450
00:23:06,085 --> 00:23:09,055
Depends on how big
an SS operation is here.
451
00:23:09,088 --> 00:23:10,890
Lenny DePaul, former commander
452
00:23:10,923 --> 00:23:13,660
of the US Marshals
Fugitive Task Force,
453
00:23:13,693 --> 00:23:15,862
and investigative journalist
Gerrard Williams
454
00:23:15,895 --> 00:23:17,564
arrive at the location
455
00:23:17,597 --> 00:23:19,999
of Heinrich Himmler's
former headquarters
456
00:23:20,032 --> 00:23:21,868
in search of infrastructure
457
00:23:21,901 --> 00:23:24,937
that could've supported
a secret northern escape route
458
00:23:24,971 --> 00:23:27,640
set up for Adolf Hitler
after the war.
459
00:23:27,674 --> 00:23:30,510
Pretty big structures here.
460
00:23:30,543 --> 00:23:32,545
There wasn't one single plan.
461
00:23:32,579 --> 00:23:35,748
There were two possible
escape plans to get the Fuhrer
462
00:23:35,782 --> 00:23:38,084
and his most trusted people
out of Berlin
463
00:23:38,117 --> 00:23:39,786
before the Soviets took it.
464
00:23:39,819 --> 00:23:41,220
Did Hitler come through here?
465
00:23:41,253 --> 00:23:42,989
I don't know, but we're
going to find out.
466
00:23:47,527 --> 00:23:50,062
This is the size
of a small town.
467
00:23:50,096 --> 00:23:52,164
This compound is massive.
468
00:23:52,198 --> 00:23:54,601
There are several structures
on the property.
469
00:23:54,634 --> 00:23:55,878
I'm going to go through
every inch of this place
470
00:23:55,902 --> 00:23:57,537
to see what we can uncover.
471
00:23:57,570 --> 00:23:59,005
What do you think went on here?
472
00:23:59,038 --> 00:24:01,240
I don't know.
473
00:24:01,273 --> 00:24:04,611
They begin their investigation
of the 26-acre compound
474
00:24:04,644 --> 00:24:07,647
at a large two-story building.
475
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:09,148
See if we can get in this place.
476
00:24:09,181 --> 00:24:11,083
Watch your step.
477
00:24:15,555 --> 00:24:17,957
It's huge!
478
00:24:17,990 --> 00:24:19,559
This goes on forever.
479
00:24:22,161 --> 00:24:24,196
Look at this hallway.
480
00:24:24,230 --> 00:24:27,233
There was rooms
upon rooms upon rooms.
481
00:24:27,266 --> 00:24:29,969
To me, this is what
a barracks would look like.
482
00:24:32,772 --> 00:24:36,175
You could have thousands
of Nazi soldiers here, easy.
483
00:24:36,208 --> 00:24:38,077
If you needed that type
of protection,
484
00:24:38,110 --> 00:24:41,213
you definitely had
accommodations for all of them.
485
00:24:41,247 --> 00:24:44,083
I mean, you could just put
so many people here.
486
00:24:44,116 --> 00:24:46,285
Be a hell of a bombing
opportunity.
487
00:24:46,318 --> 00:24:48,621
But you see,
most Nazi-era buildings
488
00:24:48,655 --> 00:24:50,823
are not left like this.
489
00:24:50,857 --> 00:24:53,726
They were either
demolished or repurposed.
490
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:55,037
Why would they not
target this place?
491
00:24:55,061 --> 00:24:57,129
Why wasn't this place bombed?
492
00:24:57,163 --> 00:24:59,932
You'd go anywhere that was
not really important.
493
00:24:59,966 --> 00:25:04,604
In 1946, there'd be bomb
craters everywhere.
494
00:25:04,637 --> 00:25:06,305
You look at the pictures
of Berlin,
495
00:25:06,338 --> 00:25:07,807
and that's after
the Allies bombed it
496
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:09,876
and then the Soviets shelled it.
497
00:25:09,909 --> 00:25:11,744
But here, there's nothing.
498
00:25:11,778 --> 00:25:13,580
There's not even a bomb crater.
499
00:25:13,613 --> 00:25:16,115
And I have no idea why.
500
00:25:16,148 --> 00:25:18,818
The team continues their
investigation of the compound,
501
00:25:18,851 --> 00:25:24,290
exploring a structure
200 yards to the east.
502
00:25:24,323 --> 00:25:25,291
Look at this.
503
00:25:30,663 --> 00:25:34,233
Why do we have tile all the way
up to the ceilings?
504
00:25:34,266 --> 00:25:38,104
Elevated floor... What was
on top of these things?
505
00:25:38,137 --> 00:25:41,140
Some sort of table.
506
00:25:41,173 --> 00:25:43,242
What is this, an operating room?
507
00:25:43,275 --> 00:25:44,577
I think that's a prep table.
508
00:25:44,611 --> 00:25:45,845
Yeah, right?
509
00:25:45,878 --> 00:25:48,180
And this is an O.R.
510
00:25:50,750 --> 00:25:52,719
Look at this.
511
00:25:52,752 --> 00:25:56,923
What is this?
512
00:25:56,956 --> 00:26:00,292
35 millimeter X-ray film.
513
00:26:00,326 --> 00:26:01,326
Look at this.
514
00:26:04,797 --> 00:26:06,766
Oh, my God.
There's a chest cavity.
515
00:26:06,799 --> 00:26:08,701
Yeah.
516
00:26:08,735 --> 00:26:10,145
We've been wondering
what the hell this is.
517
00:26:10,169 --> 00:26:13,039
I can't think it could be
anything else
518
00:26:13,072 --> 00:26:16,075
but a pretty major
hospital complex.
519
00:26:16,108 --> 00:26:17,910
That completely fits.
520
00:26:17,944 --> 00:26:21,113
This whole compound is
off-limits if it's medical.
521
00:26:21,147 --> 00:26:24,016
Under the Geneva Convention,
if you painted red crosses
522
00:26:24,050 --> 00:26:26,085
on the roofs of these buildings,
523
00:26:26,118 --> 00:26:27,820
they were off the bombing list.
524
00:26:27,854 --> 00:26:29,722
This was a gentleman's war,
525
00:26:29,756 --> 00:26:31,958
and Heinrich Himmler
was no damn gentleman.
526
00:26:31,991 --> 00:26:33,359
This was definitely a hospital,
527
00:26:33,392 --> 00:26:36,796
and a perfect cover to hide
some high-value target
528
00:26:36,829 --> 00:26:40,132
or somebody trying to get
out of dodge in a hurry.
529
00:26:40,166 --> 00:26:41,968
As part of a northern
escape route,
530
00:26:42,001 --> 00:26:43,235
it's a great place to come.
531
00:26:43,269 --> 00:26:44,971
You're safe here to work out
532
00:26:45,004 --> 00:26:48,374
what the next step
on the plan is.
533
00:26:48,407 --> 00:26:50,943
It was perfect.
534
00:26:58,184 --> 00:27:01,788
This could be part of
the northern escape route.
535
00:27:01,821 --> 00:27:05,291
Bob and Nada are overseeing
a dual-pronged investigation
536
00:27:05,324 --> 00:27:08,294
following two possible
escape routes out of Berlin,
537
00:27:08,327 --> 00:27:11,230
one leading toward Hohenlychen
in northern Germany
538
00:27:11,263 --> 00:27:14,967
and another going south
to Berchtesgaden.
539
00:27:15,001 --> 00:27:17,970
I am very curious about
what's behind this door.
540
00:27:18,004 --> 00:27:21,007
I mean, what were they
using this for?
541
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:22,975
They focus in on
their investigation
542
00:27:23,009 --> 00:27:25,277
into the Nazi's
southern escape route,
543
00:27:25,311 --> 00:27:27,379
where they have uncovered
a mysterious door
544
00:27:27,413 --> 00:27:31,718
just 300 yards from
the location of Hitler's home.
545
00:27:31,751 --> 00:27:34,286
You know who we should get
a hold of, is Sascha Keil.
546
00:27:38,257 --> 00:27:40,059
Hey, Sascha, it's Bob.
547
00:27:40,092 --> 00:27:41,761
Hello, Bob.
548
00:27:41,794 --> 00:27:43,963
Sascha Keil is
a world-renowned expert
549
00:27:43,996 --> 00:27:46,332
on Nazi underground structures.
550
00:27:46,365 --> 00:27:51,170
Hey, Sascha, we found
this door near the Berghof,
551
00:27:51,203 --> 00:27:52,939
cut in the side of the mountain.
552
00:27:52,972 --> 00:27:55,274
What's behind it?
553
00:28:00,947 --> 00:28:02,882
That's just amazing.
554
00:28:02,915 --> 00:28:04,884
Have you been inside it?
Did you see it?
555
00:28:21,167 --> 00:28:25,271
When people are hiding things,
it's a red flag for me.
556
00:28:25,304 --> 00:28:28,775
There's something behind there,
and I want to know what it is.
557
00:28:28,808 --> 00:28:32,344
Sascha, is there a way we can
find out more about this...
558
00:28:32,378 --> 00:28:35,948
Anything to give us a better
idea of what this looks like?
559
00:28:35,982 --> 00:28:37,149
I can try to find out.
560
00:28:37,183 --> 00:28:38,818
Thank you.
561
00:28:38,851 --> 00:28:41,788
The German government
is denying access,
562
00:28:41,821 --> 00:28:43,856
but we're not going to
take "no" for an answer.
563
00:28:43,890 --> 00:28:46,859
We're going to find out what's
under there, whatever it takes.
564
00:28:46,893 --> 00:28:50,129
Did that bunker serve a purpose
in protecting Hitler
565
00:28:50,162 --> 00:28:52,098
as he was escaping south?
566
00:29:03,509 --> 00:29:05,477
The number of people
that have had access
567
00:29:05,511 --> 00:29:08,948
into the Obersalzberg
compound...
568
00:29:08,981 --> 00:29:11,350
Right... are very few.
569
00:29:11,383 --> 00:29:13,252
Not too many, no.
570
00:29:13,285 --> 00:29:15,254
Along the southern escape route,
571
00:29:15,287 --> 00:29:19,525
Tim and James made contact
with historian Florian Birell,
572
00:29:19,558 --> 00:29:23,930
the foremost expert on Nazi
infrastructure in Berchtesgaden.
573
00:29:23,963 --> 00:29:25,898
When I was a younger,
a teenager,
574
00:29:25,932 --> 00:29:28,500
we used to go there quite often.
575
00:29:28,534 --> 00:29:31,370
We photographed it.
We charted maps.
576
00:29:31,403 --> 00:29:34,173
It is absolutely vital for us
to have a better understanding
577
00:29:34,206 --> 00:29:35,808
what lies beneath the Berghof,
578
00:29:35,842 --> 00:29:38,410
and if it could've
provided enough security
579
00:29:38,444 --> 00:29:40,512
to protect the leader
of the Third Reich
580
00:29:40,546 --> 00:29:43,049
if he had escaped out
of the bunker in Berlin
581
00:29:43,082 --> 00:29:45,151
at the end of the war.
582
00:29:45,184 --> 00:29:47,053
This guy here is a real expert.
583
00:29:47,086 --> 00:29:49,889
I've worked with him
for at least ten years.
584
00:29:49,922 --> 00:29:53,359
Florian has arranged a meeting
with engineer Jurgen Weimar,
585
00:29:53,392 --> 00:29:55,161
who has spent the last decade
586
00:29:55,194 --> 00:29:57,997
mapping the Obersalzberg
compound around Hitler's home.
587
00:29:58,030 --> 00:30:00,466
There's quite a bit
of survey data
588
00:30:00,499 --> 00:30:03,502
that I collected over the years,
and I gave all that to Jurgen.
589
00:30:03,535 --> 00:30:06,538
And he now has
the computer technology
590
00:30:06,572 --> 00:30:09,375
and the programs
to put it all together.
591
00:30:09,408 --> 00:30:12,144
Using Jurgen's state-of-the-art
architectural software
592
00:30:12,178 --> 00:30:13,880
and Florian's exclusive data
593
00:30:13,913 --> 00:30:16,082
from the area
under Hitler's home,
594
00:30:16,115 --> 00:30:17,583
they have created
the most extensive
595
00:30:17,616 --> 00:30:19,351
and accurate computer model
596
00:30:19,385 --> 00:30:21,954
of what the Nazis would've
had at their disposal.
597
00:30:21,988 --> 00:30:25,892
So, at the Berghof,
we found a massive door
598
00:30:25,925 --> 00:30:27,293
that's located directly
599
00:30:27,326 --> 00:30:30,897
underneath Hitler's
primary residence.
600
00:30:30,930 --> 00:30:32,531
I need to know
what's behind that door.
601
00:30:32,564 --> 00:30:36,402
I can tell you there is more.
602
00:30:36,435 --> 00:30:38,537
Behind that door, you would
find a vast labyrinth
603
00:30:38,570 --> 00:30:41,540
of underground tunnels.
604
00:30:41,573 --> 00:30:43,642
Really? Yes.
605
00:30:43,675 --> 00:30:47,446
Yeah, this is the whole
bunker system.
606
00:30:47,479 --> 00:30:50,649
That is so much bigger
than I thought.
607
00:30:50,682 --> 00:30:52,952
So, the blue is the buildings
above ground.
608
00:30:52,985 --> 00:30:54,286
Right.
609
00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:55,955
So, there's the Berghof. Yes.
610
00:30:55,988 --> 00:30:58,557
And this is the system.
It's incredible.
611
00:30:58,590 --> 00:31:01,327
A total of three and half miles
of underground tunnels.
612
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:02,628
Three and half miles?
613
00:31:02,661 --> 00:31:05,464
Yes, very extensive.
614
00:31:05,497 --> 00:31:08,968
400 feet of solid rock
above you right there.
615
00:31:09,001 --> 00:31:11,938
That's enough to stop
a nuclear bomb.
616
00:31:11,971 --> 00:31:13,973
There's six different levels.
617
00:31:14,006 --> 00:31:16,142
Golly!
618
00:31:16,175 --> 00:31:17,944
It's incredible.
619
00:31:17,977 --> 00:31:20,913
This is more than just a
basement of Adolf Hitler's home.
620
00:31:20,947 --> 00:31:24,583
This is a massive,
interconnected tunnel system.
621
00:31:24,616 --> 00:31:27,586
This vertical shaft right here,
what is all this?
622
00:31:27,619 --> 00:31:29,455
Yet another level.
623
00:31:29,488 --> 00:31:32,291
It was intended to build a road
underneath the Obersalzberg.
624
00:31:32,324 --> 00:31:35,427
And in case there was
a surprise attack,
625
00:31:35,461 --> 00:31:38,064
he could escape through
a much lower level.
626
00:31:38,097 --> 00:31:40,366
So he could travel down with
an elevator, get in the car,
627
00:31:40,399 --> 00:31:42,201
and get out of the place.
628
00:31:42,234 --> 00:31:46,438
This tunnel in red, was it built
or was it just planned?
629
00:31:46,472 --> 00:31:50,609
No,
they haven't finished it. Got you.
630
00:31:50,642 --> 00:31:52,244
I mean, this is vastly
more sophisticated
631
00:31:52,278 --> 00:31:54,022
than anything than we have seen.
It's more complex.
632
00:31:54,046 --> 00:31:55,557
It's more massive than
anything in Argentina,
633
00:31:55,581 --> 00:31:58,317
in Chile, even in Berlin. Yep.
634
00:31:58,350 --> 00:32:00,552
This is essentially
a Nazi in-out.
635
00:32:00,586 --> 00:32:06,292
But as it stands, you can't
escape from there, can you?
636
00:32:06,325 --> 00:32:08,394
There's no way.
637
00:32:08,427 --> 00:32:11,663
There's a reason why the Taliban
have been so successful
638
00:32:11,697 --> 00:32:13,565
fighting from the mountains
in Afghanistan.
639
00:32:13,599 --> 00:32:16,168
You burrow into these mountains,
you're there to stay.
640
00:32:16,202 --> 00:32:18,104
The Nazis knew that.
641
00:32:18,137 --> 00:32:20,439
But Adolf Hitler's not
going to come here
642
00:32:20,472 --> 00:32:22,708
without an escape route.
643
00:32:22,741 --> 00:32:26,378
They have to have a safe way
for him to get out,
644
00:32:26,412 --> 00:32:28,981
and we have to find it.
645
00:32:34,286 --> 00:32:37,389
The bunker system is extensive.
646
00:32:37,423 --> 00:32:40,226
But this escape tunnel
was not finished.
647
00:32:40,259 --> 00:32:42,728
He was basically stuck.
648
00:32:42,761 --> 00:32:44,496
There was nowhere to go.
649
00:32:44,530 --> 00:32:46,999
Bob and Nada
continue their investigation
650
00:32:47,033 --> 00:32:49,001
into two possible escape routes
651
00:32:49,035 --> 00:32:51,603
Hitler may have used
to escape Berlin,
652
00:32:51,637 --> 00:32:54,573
one leading toward Berchtesgaden
in southern Germany
653
00:32:54,606 --> 00:32:57,376
and the other
heading to the north
654
00:32:57,409 --> 00:32:58,710
where they are investigating
655
00:32:58,744 --> 00:33:01,247
whether a Nazi compound
in Hohenlychen
656
00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:03,749
could have been part of a secret
northern escape route
657
00:33:03,782 --> 00:33:06,785
set up for Hitler after the war.
658
00:33:06,818 --> 00:33:10,356
There's 26 acres, and we know
of at least 16 buildings so far
659
00:33:10,389 --> 00:33:13,092
that they had built
for this facility...
660
00:33:13,125 --> 00:33:15,461
Some barracks and a hospital.
661
00:33:15,494 --> 00:33:17,563
A hospital would be
a perfect place
662
00:33:17,596 --> 00:33:20,666
for a clandestine operation,
663
00:33:20,699 --> 00:33:23,235
similar to what
terrorist organizations
664
00:33:23,269 --> 00:33:26,238
do now using civilian
neighborhoods to hide in,
665
00:33:26,272 --> 00:33:29,575
using U.S. military uniforms
to disguise themselves.
666
00:33:29,608 --> 00:33:31,443
It's evil but effective.
667
00:33:31,477 --> 00:33:34,580
This is from the OSS.
668
00:33:34,613 --> 00:33:39,351
"In Hohenlychen, Hitler used to
visit the SS Sanatorium.
669
00:33:39,385 --> 00:33:41,653
Local people said Hitler
was definitely seen
670
00:33:41,687 --> 00:33:47,259
to take a lakeside walk in
the same area on 24 April 1945."
671
00:33:47,293 --> 00:33:48,794
This is an eyewitness.
672
00:33:48,827 --> 00:33:52,164
People say they saw Hitler
at Hohenlychen,
673
00:33:52,198 --> 00:33:53,832
and this is six days
674
00:33:53,865 --> 00:33:57,669
before he supposedly committed
suicide in the bunker.
675
00:33:57,703 --> 00:34:00,572
He's seen at Hohenlychen.
676
00:34:00,606 --> 00:34:03,142
The problem is,
Hitler wouldn't be staying
677
00:34:03,175 --> 00:34:04,710
in any of these buildings.
678
00:34:04,743 --> 00:34:06,721
He wouldn't be staying
with the general population.
679
00:34:06,745 --> 00:34:09,815
So, where would he be where
there's a good deal
680
00:34:09,848 --> 00:34:13,252
of privacy...
In fact, total privacy?
681
00:34:13,285 --> 00:34:16,355
We've got to find some place
that Hitler could've put down
682
00:34:16,388 --> 00:34:18,424
and felt safe.
683
00:34:18,457 --> 00:34:21,860
I'll bet you that there's some
sort of building or structure
684
00:34:21,893 --> 00:34:23,629
that could've housed him.
685
00:34:23,662 --> 00:34:24,863
We need to keep digging.
686
00:34:36,808 --> 00:34:39,178
- All right, partner, you ready?
- Let's do what we do best.
687
00:34:39,211 --> 00:34:41,380
Investigating the
northern escape route,
688
00:34:41,413 --> 00:34:43,449
Lenny DePaul, Gerrard Williams,
689
00:34:43,482 --> 00:34:45,551
and their local
translator Teresa
690
00:34:45,584 --> 00:34:48,687
prepare to make contact
with Rosemary Tottenhoff,
691
00:34:48,720 --> 00:34:51,190
a local woman who may have
first-hand knowledge
692
00:34:51,223 --> 00:34:55,494
of Nazi activity
at the Hohenlychen compound.
693
00:34:55,527 --> 00:34:58,430
If Hitler did come here as part
of the northern escape route,
694
00:34:58,464 --> 00:35:02,634
he would've stayed somewhere
secluded and quiet and secure.
695
00:35:02,668 --> 00:35:05,704
He'd have stayed somewhere
pretty opulent.
696
00:35:05,737 --> 00:35:07,573
What we need to do
is find out the areas
697
00:35:07,606 --> 00:35:09,641
where the high-ranking
people stayed.
698
00:35:09,675 --> 00:35:11,810
Thank you very much for
having us in your house today.
699
00:35:11,843 --> 00:35:13,812
You're very kind.
700
00:35:13,845 --> 00:35:16,648
Could you ask our friend here,
what's her links to Hohenlychen?
701
00:35:25,791 --> 00:35:29,328
She was there herself
because her father was a...
702
00:35:29,361 --> 00:35:30,896
What we would call an orderly.
703
00:35:30,929 --> 00:35:35,201
And her mother worked for
a family there in Hohenlychen.
704
00:35:35,234 --> 00:35:36,902
And he was somebody
important, she said.
705
00:35:36,935 --> 00:35:38,870
SS? SS?
706
00:35:38,904 --> 00:35:40,939
Yeah. Okay.
707
00:35:40,972 --> 00:35:44,876
Did her mother ever talk
about senior members
708
00:35:44,910 --> 00:35:47,279
of the Nazi Party
coming to visit?
709
00:35:51,917 --> 00:35:53,852
Hitler came to visit the
Kiesewetter family
710
00:35:53,885 --> 00:35:55,421
when she was working there,
711
00:35:55,454 --> 00:35:59,358
and she had to take off
Hitler's coat for him.
712
00:35:59,391 --> 00:36:02,294
Yeah, she said he was here
more than once in Hohenlychen.
713
00:36:04,496 --> 00:36:07,499
That's interesting.
714
00:36:07,533 --> 00:36:09,435
Was the house in the complex?
715
00:36:15,541 --> 00:36:17,643
This is in Hohenlychen?
716
00:36:20,946 --> 00:36:24,816
This place right on the lake.
717
00:36:24,850 --> 00:36:26,485
Unbelievable.
718
00:36:26,518 --> 00:36:27,819
We didn't see this.
719
00:36:27,853 --> 00:36:29,621
No, we haven't
seen that one there.
720
00:36:29,655 --> 00:36:32,824
Teresa, ask her if... where this
building, this structure is.
721
00:36:32,858 --> 00:36:35,227
It's down the street toward
the water on the right side.
722
00:36:35,261 --> 00:36:36,304
She's telling me
it's on the property.
723
00:36:36,328 --> 00:36:38,230
We've never seen it. Mm-hmm.
724
00:36:38,264 --> 00:36:39,531
We've got to find this place.
725
00:36:39,565 --> 00:36:41,500
We have eyewitnesses to Hitler
726
00:36:41,533 --> 00:36:43,702
walking around
this lake on the 24th.
727
00:36:47,706 --> 00:36:50,476
And now, there in the pictures
is a building
728
00:36:50,509 --> 00:36:53,545
that looks like a large villa
that was on the lake.
729
00:36:53,579 --> 00:36:55,247
It's just incredible.
730
00:36:55,281 --> 00:36:57,383
It all seems to be
coming together.
731
00:36:57,416 --> 00:36:59,016
Well, let's go have
a look at that house.
732
00:37:11,430 --> 00:37:13,665
Here we are. Just down there.
733
00:37:13,699 --> 00:37:16,668
Along the southern escape route
in Berchtesgaden, Germany,
734
00:37:16,702 --> 00:37:18,770
Tim Kennedy and James Holland
735
00:37:18,804 --> 00:37:21,373
head to the location of
a former Nazi office building
736
00:37:21,407 --> 00:37:23,375
in the area of Hitler's home
737
00:37:23,409 --> 00:37:24,776
that James uncovered
738
00:37:24,810 --> 00:37:27,346
while researching
Nazi-era infrastructure
739
00:37:27,379 --> 00:37:29,381
at the local archives,
740
00:37:29,415 --> 00:37:32,418
to see if it could've been used
to support the escape
741
00:37:32,451 --> 00:37:34,686
of Adolf Hitler after the war.
742
00:37:34,720 --> 00:37:35,960
If Adolf Hitler was considering
743
00:37:35,987 --> 00:37:38,290
moving to Berchtesgaden
from Berlin,
744
00:37:38,324 --> 00:37:40,492
he would have to have
a safe way to get out.
745
00:37:40,526 --> 00:37:43,662
We need to find evidence
that they had an escape route
746
00:37:43,695 --> 00:37:46,465
already in place, ready to go.
747
00:37:46,498 --> 00:37:48,434
Nick. Hey.
748
00:37:48,467 --> 00:37:50,702
Their local contact,
Nick Conrad,
749
00:37:50,736 --> 00:37:52,438
has gotten permission
from the owner
750
00:37:52,471 --> 00:37:54,340
to let the team
investigate the building
751
00:37:54,373 --> 00:37:57,709
for a possible escape route.
752
00:37:57,743 --> 00:38:00,812
Was this just an accounting
building, logistical building?
753
00:38:00,846 --> 00:38:02,814
We need to know
exactly what it was.
754
00:38:02,848 --> 00:38:05,884
We're all going to meet Mr. Holzel,
the owner. Okay.
755
00:38:05,917 --> 00:38:07,619
Perhaps he can
help us with that.
756
00:38:07,653 --> 00:38:09,020
Good.
757
00:38:09,054 --> 00:38:11,390
Tim, look at that.
758
00:38:11,423 --> 00:38:14,960
There is still the remains
of a Nazi eagle
759
00:38:14,993 --> 00:38:16,528
over the front entrance porch.
760
00:38:16,562 --> 00:38:18,864
I mean, that's just
absolutely incredible.
761
00:38:22,133 --> 00:38:24,570
Thanks for letting us come.
762
00:38:27,005 --> 00:38:29,708
Oh, wow. Look at this!
763
00:38:34,546 --> 00:38:35,681
This is absolutely amazing.
764
00:38:37,749 --> 00:38:40,652
All original.
765
00:38:40,686 --> 00:38:43,054
But what did they use
this room for?
766
00:38:43,088 --> 00:38:46,492
For reception of foreign
diplomats and leaders.
767
00:38:46,525 --> 00:38:48,660
They were gathering here.
768
00:38:48,694 --> 00:38:51,062
To this building,
into this room?
769
00:38:51,096 --> 00:38:52,664
That's incredible.
770
00:38:52,698 --> 00:38:56,935
So this building is
massively important.
771
00:38:56,968 --> 00:38:59,004
Is there a basement,
or is there anything
772
00:38:59,037 --> 00:39:00,506
that would protect people?
773
00:39:00,539 --> 00:39:02,841
There is a big shelter
underneath.
774
00:39:02,874 --> 00:39:04,576
Oh, really?
775
00:39:04,610 --> 00:39:06,512
Can we see that?
776
00:39:07,946 --> 00:39:09,515
Follow you? Yeah.
777
00:39:21,026 --> 00:39:23,028
That's incredible, isn't it?
778
00:39:23,061 --> 00:39:25,797
Just, we're going down
and down and down.
779
00:39:25,831 --> 00:39:28,567
After about ten minutes
and you're still descending,
780
00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:30,569
you're suddenly thinking,
"Hang on a minute.
781
00:39:30,602 --> 00:39:33,572
This is not just a small
little air-raid shelter.
782
00:39:33,605 --> 00:39:36,141
This is a really
serious tunnel."
783
00:39:36,174 --> 00:39:38,777
What does this remind you of?
784
00:39:38,810 --> 00:39:42,481
It's identical to the piping
system they had at the Berghof.
785
00:39:42,514 --> 00:39:44,716
This is communication
and power...
786
00:39:47,619 --> 00:39:49,497
The same type of communication
they had at the Berghof
787
00:39:49,521 --> 00:39:52,023
at Obersalzberg, they have here.
788
00:39:52,057 --> 00:39:53,625
It's all connected.
789
00:39:55,627 --> 00:39:59,698
Okay, so, this is a series
of rooms, isn't it?
790
00:39:59,731 --> 00:40:00,899
So, it's not just a tunnel.
791
00:40:00,932 --> 00:40:03,134
There's chambers
down here as well.
792
00:40:06,672 --> 00:40:09,040
Hitler's room, Tim.
793
00:40:09,074 --> 00:40:10,074
Incredible.
794
00:40:12,778 --> 00:40:17,549
We are literally standing
where he would've stood.
795
00:40:17,583 --> 00:40:20,852
200 feet below this
Nazi-era government building,
796
00:40:20,886 --> 00:40:22,688
the team has uncovered
a massive,
797
00:40:22,721 --> 00:40:24,756
multi-chambered bunker system
798
00:40:24,790 --> 00:40:27,693
leading to the personal
quarters of Adolf Hitler.
799
00:40:27,726 --> 00:40:30,061
I mean, it's frightening.
We are in the room
800
00:40:30,095 --> 00:40:32,898
that was built to protect
and hide Adolf Hitler
801
00:40:32,931 --> 00:40:35,867
after the war.
802
00:40:35,901 --> 00:40:37,969
We're thinking about,
he's leaving Berlin,
803
00:40:38,003 --> 00:40:39,805
he's going to come down here,
804
00:40:39,838 --> 00:40:43,509
and this gives you everything
you need to be safe...
805
00:40:43,542 --> 00:40:46,111
Yep. ...to be hidden,
to be secure.
806
00:40:46,144 --> 00:40:48,614
But where can he go from here?
807
00:40:48,647 --> 00:40:49,824
Well, this has got to have
an exit point, right?
808
00:40:49,848 --> 00:40:53,752
Yeah, but where?
809
00:40:53,785 --> 00:40:55,521
The team works their
way through the tunnel
810
00:40:55,554 --> 00:40:57,756
beyond Hitler's personal bunker.
811
00:40:57,789 --> 00:41:00,225
Ah, look at this.
812
00:41:00,258 --> 00:41:02,227
What was that used
for right there?
813
00:41:02,260 --> 00:41:04,830
So, it's an emergency exit.
814
00:41:04,863 --> 00:41:07,232
Oh, my God.
815
00:41:11,737 --> 00:41:12,904
Wow.
816
00:41:17,275 --> 00:41:18,677
This is amazing!
817
00:41:18,710 --> 00:41:20,078
It's unbelievable, isn't it?
818
00:41:20,111 --> 00:41:25,016
It's wooded, it's hidden,
and look at that!
819
00:41:25,050 --> 00:41:27,218
A rail line immediately
outside of the tunnel,
820
00:41:27,252 --> 00:41:29,020
so you walk out of the tunnel...
821
00:41:29,054 --> 00:41:30,556
No one can see you.
822
00:41:30,589 --> 00:41:32,691
...the train tracks
are right there.
823
00:41:35,727 --> 00:41:38,597
Has this railroad
always been here?
824
00:41:38,630 --> 00:41:41,132
You're kidding me.
825
00:41:41,166 --> 00:41:43,234
If Adolf Hitler
walks out of that tunnel
826
00:41:43,268 --> 00:41:44,269
and he gets on a train...
827
00:41:47,272 --> 00:41:48,239
where's the next stop?
828
00:41:55,814 --> 00:41:58,650
This season
on "Hunting Hitler"...
829
00:41:58,684 --> 00:42:00,552
Can you see anything, mate?
830
00:42:00,586 --> 00:42:02,196
Gerrard, you're not going
to believe what I just found.
831
00:42:02,220 --> 00:42:04,155
Holy!
832
00:42:04,189 --> 00:42:08,627
If Hitler escaped,
he did not do it by himself.
833
00:42:08,660 --> 00:42:11,262
He used a trusted network.
834
00:42:11,296 --> 00:42:13,865
We know that the Nazis
were in South America,
835
00:42:13,899 --> 00:42:16,334
but this is at a level
that I've never seen before.
836
00:42:16,367 --> 00:42:19,170
If we're going to finally
track Hitler down,
837
00:42:19,204 --> 00:42:22,808
we need to deconstruct
this network piece by piece...
838
00:42:22,841 --> 00:42:25,176
This goes much deeper
than I realized.
839
00:42:25,210 --> 00:42:26,612
...until we get
to the bottom of it.
840
00:42:26,645 --> 00:42:29,715
Three, two, one, drop.
841
00:42:29,748 --> 00:42:32,217
This is everything
we've been working towards.
842
00:42:32,250 --> 00:42:35,353
What we've stumbled upon
is the most powerful weapon
843
00:42:35,386 --> 00:42:37,589
the Nazis had in their arsenal.
844
00:42:37,623 --> 00:42:41,359
We are throwing everything
we can at this case...
845
00:42:41,392 --> 00:42:45,964
Oh, my God. Holy.
846
00:42:45,997 --> 00:42:50,135
...to find out what happened to
Adolf Hitler once and for all.
847
00:42:52,804 --> 00:42:56,007
Adolf Hitler could come here
and know that he was safe.
848
00:42:56,041 --> 00:42:58,343
That's it! That's got to be it.
849
00:42:58,376 --> 00:43:00,245
Put us down right there.
850
00:43:00,278 --> 00:43:03,982
We cannot stop until
we find the truth.
851
00:43:04,015 --> 00:43:07,085
This is the last piece
of the puzzle, right?
852
00:43:07,118 --> 00:43:08,118
This is it right here.
853
00:43:08,142 --> 00:43:10,142
