Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:00,467 --> 00:00:03,469
Previously on
"Hunting Hitler"...
2
00:00:03,571 --> 00:00:07,673
This is from June 12th, 1945.
3
00:00:07,775 --> 00:00:11,611
At this time, the decision had been taken
to divide the ministries in two parts
4
00:00:11,713 --> 00:00:14,347
and establish one government in
the north and one in the south.
5
00:00:14,449 --> 00:00:17,450
What this file tells me
is they're splitting up,
6
00:00:17,552 --> 00:00:20,152
creating multiple escape routes.
7
00:00:26,094 --> 00:00:29,028
Tim found both the U-boat and
the seaplane near each other.
8
00:00:29,130 --> 00:00:33,165
Look at this.
OSS, predecessor of the CIA.
9
00:00:33,267 --> 00:00:39,038
"I have spoken about refuelling
seaplanes from U-boats."
10
00:00:39,140 --> 00:00:44,043
What these U-boats are are gasoline
stations in the middle of the Atlantic.
11
00:00:44,145 --> 00:00:47,880
This document opens up a whole new set of
options for Hitler to get out of Europe.
12
00:00:47,982 --> 00:00:51,384
This is the logical end
of the northern route.
13
00:00:51,486 --> 00:00:53,886
We now have to figure out
whether the southern route
14
00:00:53,988 --> 00:00:56,188
would've also gotten him
to South America.
15
00:00:58,593 --> 00:01:04,163
The Red Cross was actually producing
legitimate documents with false identities.
16
00:01:04,265 --> 00:01:06,565
The documents were something
that was secure,
17
00:01:06,668 --> 00:01:10,002
so if they had those documents,
they could easily get out of Rome.
18
00:01:10,104 --> 00:01:12,905
Once they'd got a real
passport, they're home free.
19
00:01:13,007 --> 00:01:16,142
This is the last piece of the puzzle,
then. All roads lead to Rome,
20
00:01:16,244 --> 00:01:18,744
and then from there
to Buenos Aires.
21
00:01:25,153 --> 00:01:27,653
We've established
two routes, and they worked.
22
00:01:27,755 --> 00:01:30,256
We're talking about thousands
upon thousands of Nazis
23
00:01:30,358 --> 00:01:32,658
who got out using
one of these two routes.
24
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:39,031
21-year CIA veteran Bob Baer and former
terrorist targeting officer Nada Bakos
25
00:01:39,133 --> 00:01:43,669
are using an asset-mapping strategy,
tracking Hitler's known associates
26
00:01:43,771 --> 00:01:47,273
to pinpoint where he could
have gone after the war.
27
00:01:47,375 --> 00:01:51,343
After investigating across
four countries in Europe,
28
00:01:51,446 --> 00:01:55,715
the team has found two well-organized
and highly sophisticated escape routes
29
00:01:55,817 --> 00:01:58,884
that could have been used to get
Hitler safely to South America...
30
00:01:58,986 --> 00:02:03,589
One to the north through Norway
and one to the south through Italy.
31
00:02:03,691 --> 00:02:07,293
The core of this story is,
had Hitler gotten out,
32
00:02:07,395 --> 00:02:09,295
he could have made it
to South America.
33
00:02:09,397 --> 00:02:13,599
Hitler could have taken either the
northern or the southern escape routes.
34
00:02:13,701 --> 00:02:15,968
What we found in Europe
was extraordinary.
35
00:02:16,070 --> 00:02:20,806
These routes were planned to perfection,
and they were all organized
36
00:02:20,908 --> 00:02:24,376
to get Hitler and senior Nazis
to Argentina.
37
00:02:24,479 --> 00:02:27,313
We showed that,
if Hitler got to South America,
38
00:02:27,415 --> 00:02:30,783
he would have had multiple
safe houses in Argentina.
39
00:02:30,885 --> 00:02:35,755
Previously in the investigation, Bob and
the team uncovered multiple locations
40
00:02:35,857 --> 00:02:39,925
that Hitler could have used to hide
within the interior of Argentina,
41
00:02:40,027 --> 00:02:41,961
one in Misiones...
42
00:02:42,063 --> 00:02:46,465
You have observation posts,
structures, defense positions.
43
00:02:46,567 --> 00:02:51,270
This is way more than a hideout in the
jungle. and another in Bariloche.
44
00:02:52,774 --> 00:02:54,940
It's perfect for a high-value target.
45
00:02:55,042 --> 00:02:57,309
Looks like a little guard shack.
46
00:02:57,411 --> 00:03:01,347
You put a machine gun right there,
you can cover this entire body of water,
47
00:03:01,449 --> 00:03:02,615
and nothing could get through.
48
00:03:02,717 --> 00:03:07,353
We've looked into Argentina, but we
have not been looking at Buenos Aires.
49
00:03:07,455 --> 00:03:09,421
That is the end of the route.
50
00:03:09,524 --> 00:03:13,159
For me, Buenos Aires
is still a question mark.
51
00:03:13,261 --> 00:03:16,662
Adolf Eichmann, we know,
gets captured up there.
52
00:03:16,764 --> 00:03:21,200
In 1950, Adolf Eichmann fled
to Buenos Aires, Argentina,
53
00:03:21,302 --> 00:03:25,504
where he lived in a modest house and
worked as a foreman for Mercedes-Benz
54
00:03:25,606 --> 00:03:28,340
under the alias
Ricardo Klement.
55
00:03:28,442 --> 00:03:32,144
Essentially, living in the open,
he felt safe.
56
00:03:32,246 --> 00:03:33,879
What were the
Nazis doing there?
57
00:03:33,981 --> 00:03:35,514
What's the connection?
58
00:03:35,616 --> 00:03:38,384
We'd never really looked at any
of the reports from there,
59
00:03:38,486 --> 00:03:40,052
and I think it's time we do.
60
00:03:40,154 --> 00:03:43,155
Let's do a search...
Nazis, Buenos Aires.
61
00:03:45,726 --> 00:03:50,362
We have a report
from March 24, 2015.
62
00:03:50,464 --> 00:03:55,367
"In Laguna de Rocha, a seaplane
had to make an emergency landing
63
00:03:55,469 --> 00:04:00,539
on October 31, 1945,
then continued to Buenos Aires.
64
00:04:00,641 --> 00:04:03,075
Incognito, it was rumoured
65
00:04:03,177 --> 00:04:06,979
there were former Nazi officials
and a cargo of gold on board."
66
00:04:07,081 --> 00:04:08,747
We have a seaplane.
67
00:04:08,850 --> 00:04:13,552
Supposedly, it's got Nazis on it
and a cargo of gold on board,
68
00:04:13,654 --> 00:04:15,621
and then they go
to Buenos Aires.
69
00:04:15,723 --> 00:04:17,790
This is totally incredible.
70
00:04:17,892 --> 00:04:20,092
Here's Laguna de Rocha.
71
00:04:20,194 --> 00:04:22,127
Here's Buenos Aires.
72
00:04:22,230 --> 00:04:24,797
It's 230 miles.
73
00:04:24,899 --> 00:04:26,699
We're connecting the dots.
74
00:04:26,801 --> 00:04:28,400
We know we have
a seaplane in Norway.
75
00:04:28,502 --> 00:04:29,635
We found it.
76
00:04:29,737 --> 00:04:33,472
If this report turns out to be true,
we know where the seaplanes are going.
77
00:04:33,574 --> 00:04:35,574
They're going to Buenos Aires.
78
00:04:35,676 --> 00:04:39,478
I'm interested in why they think there
were former Nazi officials on board.
79
00:04:39,580 --> 00:04:41,480
We have to get
to the bottom of this story.
80
00:04:41,582 --> 00:04:44,149
I want some evidence this
plane really did land there
81
00:04:44,252 --> 00:04:50,556
and if there were Nazis and gold on this
airplane, or is it just more mythology?
82
00:04:50,658 --> 00:04:52,424
We need to get the team
to Laguna de Rocha
83
00:04:52,526 --> 00:04:54,326
to see if there's anybody
they can talk to.
84
00:04:54,428 --> 00:05:00,232
We keep coming back to Argentina,
and now we're coming back in a big way.
85
00:05:10,945 --> 00:05:13,078
Everything coming out of Europe,
86
00:05:13,180 --> 00:05:16,115
whether it's the northern
route line, southern route line,
87
00:05:16,217 --> 00:05:19,418
everything comes back
into Buenos Aires. Yeah.
88
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:21,921
U.S. Army Special Forces
Tim Kennedy,
89
00:05:22,023 --> 00:05:26,926
U.S. Army Green Beret Mike Simpson,
and their local contact, Dante,
90
00:05:27,028 --> 00:05:32,464
Land in Laguna de Rocha, Uruguay, where
a seaplane carrying high-ranking Nazis
91
00:05:32,566 --> 00:05:35,000
was rumoured to have made
an emergency landing.
92
00:05:35,102 --> 00:05:37,169
This has to be
the lagoon right here.
93
00:05:37,271 --> 00:05:39,471
Yep.
94
00:05:39,573 --> 00:05:41,273
It is a very real possibility
95
00:05:41,375 --> 00:05:44,443
that even Adolf Hitler could
have arrived in South America
96
00:05:44,545 --> 00:05:46,111
on a plane just like this.
97
00:05:46,213 --> 00:05:49,348
We're going to investigate to determine
if the seaplane did, in fact,
98
00:05:49,450 --> 00:05:54,553
make an emergency landing here in Uruguay
and see if there's any possibility
99
00:05:54,655 --> 00:05:57,957
that there were any Nazis
using this seaplane to escape.
100
00:05:58,059 --> 00:05:59,825
Let's go talk to him.
101
00:05:59,927 --> 00:06:02,628
The team makes contact with Don Tito,
102
00:06:02,730 --> 00:06:07,666
a local resident who lives only 500 yards
away from the alleged landing site
103
00:06:07,768 --> 00:06:10,602
and who claims to have
witnessed the crash first hand.
104
00:06:10,705 --> 00:06:15,541
We were told that you were
a witness to an airplane,
105
00:06:15,643 --> 00:06:18,444
a seaplane crash that
happened in the lagoon.
106
00:06:18,546 --> 00:06:21,780
How old were you
when the plane crashed?
107
00:06:27,455 --> 00:06:31,357
Can you tell us everything that you
remember about when that plane crashed?
108
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:42,301
He remembers
there was a crash and a splash.
109
00:06:42,403 --> 00:06:47,906
He has the image and the sound of that,
and he says he saw it from here,
110
00:06:48,009 --> 00:06:51,377
from this place,
two blocks that way.
111
00:06:57,018 --> 00:06:58,517
Around 40 and 50.
112
00:06:58,619 --> 00:06:59,885
Okay.
- 50 passengers.
113
00:06:59,987 --> 00:07:01,920
And they were mainly German.
114
00:07:04,425 --> 00:07:08,093
The local enforcement took
a very quick action on it,
115
00:07:08,195 --> 00:07:12,531
and they had ambulance
waiting for them on the shore.
116
00:07:14,301 --> 00:07:18,105
So, without the aid of cellphones,
they responded very, very quickly.
117
00:07:18,205 --> 00:07:19,738
Do I have that right?
118
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:24,176
The local enforcement
appeared very quickly. Yes.
119
00:07:24,278 --> 00:07:29,715
He remembers this plane
coming towards the lagoon
120
00:07:29,817 --> 00:07:34,420
followed by three...
Tres aviónes?
121
00:07:34,522 --> 00:07:38,123
By three little planes
like a convoy
122
00:07:38,225 --> 00:07:40,426
trying to rescue
or guide them to the lagoon.
123
00:07:42,730 --> 00:07:46,098
What kind of a commercial
plane flies with an escort?
124
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,700
The fact that there were three
planes accompanying the seaplane
125
00:07:48,803 --> 00:07:50,469
is something I find
very interesting.
126
00:07:50,571 --> 00:07:53,972
This tells me this was not
a typical airliner of any sort.
127
00:07:54,075 --> 00:07:55,441
This was something important
128
00:07:55,543 --> 00:07:58,610
possibly containing
a high-value target.
129
00:07:58,712 --> 00:08:01,780
Have you ever heard
that there were Nazis
130
00:08:01,882 --> 00:08:04,716
or Nazi gold on this airplane?
131
00:08:12,426 --> 00:08:16,228
He cannot say
or confirm that's true.
132
00:08:17,898 --> 00:08:24,303
Do you personally believe that these
men that were on the plane were Nazis
133
00:08:24,405 --> 00:08:26,238
or that there was Nazi gold?
134
00:08:30,945 --> 00:08:33,479
No.
- He can't get into that,
135
00:08:33,581 --> 00:08:40,054
but one of the passengers had
bodyguards, and that's all he recalls.
136
00:08:41,956 --> 00:08:44,022
I mean, he's afraid.
137
00:08:44,125 --> 00:08:46,825
He's scared even after
all these years.
138
00:08:46,927 --> 00:08:50,529
This is something that we have seen
time and time again in this investigation.
139
00:08:50,631 --> 00:08:54,700
People don't want to talk about it.
Even 70 years after the war has ended,
140
00:08:54,802 --> 00:08:57,503
people are still scared
to talk about Nazis.
141
00:08:57,605 --> 00:09:01,073
For Mike and I,
this is the biggest red flag.
142
00:09:01,175 --> 00:09:07,581
In 1945, if you have 40 people on a
seaplane with bodyguards and escort,
143
00:09:09,383 --> 00:09:16,054
this couldn't be anybody but the highest
level, upper echelon of the Nazi Party.
144
00:09:16,157 --> 00:09:18,690
If we can find something
physical from that plane,
145
00:09:18,792 --> 00:09:20,959
that could propel
this investigation forward.
146
00:09:21,061 --> 00:09:22,528
Let's go take a look.
147
00:09:26,467 --> 00:09:29,134
Don Tito leads the team
to the shore of the lagoon
148
00:09:29,236 --> 00:09:33,138
where the seaplane reportedly
landed over 70 years ago.
149
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:35,174
So where was it?
150
00:09:35,276 --> 00:09:37,756
About 300 meters from here.
151
00:09:40,281 --> 00:09:41,647
300 meters out?
152
00:09:44,752 --> 00:09:48,520
We now have a specific
reference point to the search.
153
00:09:48,622 --> 00:09:52,024
Evidence could be waiting for us to
find on the bottom of that lagoon.
154
00:09:52,126 --> 00:09:57,196
This could be the launch point to finding
out if the seaplane did land on the lagoon
155
00:09:57,298 --> 00:10:02,167
and if this plane was truly
transporting high-level Nazis.
156
00:10:02,269 --> 00:10:03,671
If there's something there,
we'll be able to find it.
157
00:10:03,771 --> 00:10:06,872
Absolutely.
158
00:10:10,978 --> 00:10:12,978
This is secluded.
- Very.
159
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:14,980
You don't get more rural than this.
160
00:10:15,082 --> 00:10:19,585
In Laguna de Rocha, Uruguay,
Tim Kennedy and Mike Simpson
161
00:10:19,687 --> 00:10:24,756
investigate a report claiming
that in 1945, a seaplane
162
00:10:24,858 --> 00:10:27,826
rumoured to have been carrying
high-ranking Nazis
163
00:10:27,928 --> 00:10:31,496
made an emergency landing
at a local lagoon.
164
00:10:31,599 --> 00:10:34,766
We need to find anything
that would definitively prove
165
00:10:34,868 --> 00:10:40,072
if this plane was here and if it's
truly transporting high-level Nazis
166
00:10:40,174 --> 00:10:42,774
from Europe to Buenos Aires.
167
00:10:42,876 --> 00:10:44,443
These might be our guys right here.
168
00:10:44,545 --> 00:10:50,015
In hopes of uncovering evidence that a
seaplane landed here over 70 years ago,
169
00:10:50,117 --> 00:10:53,418
Tim and Mike are joined by a
local marine surveying team...
170
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:55,120
How you doing?
171
00:10:55,222 --> 00:10:57,289
To help them scan
the waters of the lagoon
172
00:10:57,391 --> 00:11:00,993
for any pieces of the plane
that may still remain.
173
00:11:01,095 --> 00:11:04,229
Let's get the equipment on the
boat and see what we can see.
174
00:11:04,331 --> 00:11:06,465
All right?
175
00:11:06,567 --> 00:11:09,635
Something could be preserved
in this lagoon very easily.
176
00:11:09,737 --> 00:11:11,005
You know, you don't
have lots of swell.
177
00:11:11,105 --> 00:11:12,471
You don't have
a lot of movement.
178
00:11:12,573 --> 00:11:14,339
There's very little tide shift.
179
00:11:14,441 --> 00:11:17,409
If something dropped off
70 years ago from this aircraft,
180
00:11:17,511 --> 00:11:20,045
there's a good chance we're
going to be able to find it.
181
00:11:20,147 --> 00:11:22,881
Tim, this is Mike.
Radio check.
182
00:11:22,983 --> 00:11:24,549
Mike, I got you, Lima Charlie.
183
00:11:24,652 --> 00:11:27,085
We are approaching
our target area.
184
00:11:27,187 --> 00:11:30,255
We're going to go ahead
and put the side-scan sonar
185
00:11:30,357 --> 00:11:33,091
into the water
and start our search.
186
00:11:33,193 --> 00:11:35,761
Although the water
is only four feet deep,
187
00:11:35,863 --> 00:11:38,163
a heavy silt layer
and poor visibility
188
00:11:38,265 --> 00:11:41,600
make it difficult
to locate any objects below,
189
00:11:41,702 --> 00:11:47,339
so the team will deploy side-scanning
sonar to penetrate to the lagoon floor.
190
00:11:47,441 --> 00:11:52,210
Using a grid-pattern search, they'll
investigate the 300-square-yard crash site
191
00:11:52,313 --> 00:11:55,280
identified by the eyewitness.
192
00:11:55,382 --> 00:11:58,717
One boat will survey with sonar
while the other drops buoys
193
00:11:58,819 --> 00:12:00,952
to mark any points of interest.
194
00:12:05,759 --> 00:12:09,494
Right now, we're in our target
area, and we are recording.
195
00:12:09,596 --> 00:12:11,196
GPS is running.
196
00:12:11,298 --> 00:12:13,801
If something is going to be down
there, we should be able to see it.
197
00:12:13,901 --> 00:12:15,167
I hope you're right.
198
00:12:16,637 --> 00:12:19,171
There's no telling what's
actually in the lagoon...
199
00:12:19,273 --> 00:12:23,375
You know, fishing nets, motors,
transmissions out of cars.
200
00:12:23,477 --> 00:12:25,877
That silt can cover
and disguise anything,
201
00:12:25,979 --> 00:12:28,280
so we have to be precise
in our movements,
202
00:12:28,382 --> 00:12:30,682
and we have to be methodical
in our search pattern.
203
00:12:30,784 --> 00:12:34,386
All right. We're going to be doing
our turn here in a couple minutes,
204
00:12:34,488 --> 00:12:36,555
finishing this line.
205
00:12:36,657 --> 00:12:39,991
And nothing on there.
206
00:12:43,564 --> 00:12:44,632
Hey, hey, hey,
right here, right here.
207
00:12:44,732 --> 00:12:47,132
We got something right here.
208
00:12:47,234 --> 00:12:53,305
About a foot in width and maybe
a foot and a half in length.
209
00:12:59,747 --> 00:13:02,314
Copy that, Tim. We'll go ahead
and mark it with a buoy.
210
00:13:02,416 --> 00:13:03,815
Standing by for countdown.
211
00:13:05,252 --> 00:13:09,121
Five, four, three, two...
212
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:20,098
Located 275 yards offshore, the team
has identified a small man-made object
213
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:21,900
on the lagoon floor.
214
00:13:24,338 --> 00:13:27,005
We're almost at the end
of the search line.
215
00:13:27,107 --> 00:13:28,107
All right.
216
00:13:28,208 --> 00:13:33,879
We got about another 50 to 100
meters of our search area.
217
00:13:33,981 --> 00:13:35,280
Copy that.
218
00:13:39,119 --> 00:13:41,622
Hey. Hey, hey, hey. Right
here, right here, right here.
219
00:13:41,722 --> 00:13:43,123
All right. Hey.
We got another target.
220
00:13:43,223 --> 00:13:45,457
Look at that.
That's a big one.
221
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:49,694
This thing is a clear line.
Solid, flat line.
222
00:13:49,797 --> 00:13:53,465
It's about 5 or 6 feet
in length,
223
00:13:53,567 --> 00:13:56,968
and it's a solid return,
hard return coming back.
224
00:13:57,070 --> 00:14:00,639
That sonar is coming off
something dense, for sure.
225
00:14:00,741 --> 00:14:02,774
All right. 10 feet.
Get set. Here we go.
226
00:14:02,876 --> 00:14:07,813
Three, two, one.
227
00:14:07,915 --> 00:14:10,816
Drop, drop, drop.
228
00:14:10,918 --> 00:14:13,151
Buoy is in.
229
00:14:19,426 --> 00:14:21,226
These are more or less
in a straight line.
230
00:14:24,031 --> 00:14:28,133
This is where Don Tito said things are
going to be, and now we're finding stuff.
231
00:14:28,235 --> 00:14:31,336
The team has located
two areas of interest
232
00:14:31,438 --> 00:14:34,973
within 100 yards of each other,
positioned in a straight line
233
00:14:35,075 --> 00:14:38,076
following the general path
the seaplane reportedly took
234
00:14:38,178 --> 00:14:41,646
when it landed in this lagoon
over 70 years ago.
235
00:14:41,748 --> 00:14:45,617
All that's left to do now
that we've got them marked
236
00:14:45,719 --> 00:14:47,853
is get suited up
and get in the water.
237
00:14:47,955 --> 00:14:50,522
Let's head back to shore,
grab our wet suits,
238
00:14:50,624 --> 00:14:53,692
and then try to recover whatever
the buoys are sitting on top of.
239
00:14:53,794 --> 00:14:59,264
With two anomalies identified on the
floor of the shallow-water lagoon,
240
00:14:59,366 --> 00:15:03,602
the team will conduct a reconnaissance
of the target area on foot.
241
00:15:03,704 --> 00:15:08,306
We're hopeful that these are something
left over from this aircraft,
242
00:15:08,408 --> 00:15:13,712
something to give me a clue as to if
the seaplane did land on the lagoon
243
00:15:13,814 --> 00:15:16,047
and who was on board
and what it was carrying.
244
00:15:16,149 --> 00:15:17,349
We have our targets.
245
00:15:17,451 --> 00:15:20,819
Now we just need to go see
what's underneath those buoys.
246
00:15:20,921 --> 00:15:22,389
All right.
Got the first buoy right there.
247
00:15:22,489 --> 00:15:24,489
Perfect.
248
00:15:24,591 --> 00:15:27,058
I'm getting in.
249
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:29,327
So stay kind of, like,
feet distance apart.
250
00:15:29,429 --> 00:15:30,896
Yeah. Sounds good.
251
00:15:30,998 --> 00:15:35,066
Let's try not to get cut
on anything either, though.
252
00:15:35,168 --> 00:15:36,701
You have anything over there?
253
00:15:36,803 --> 00:15:38,136
Nothing.
254
00:15:41,775 --> 00:15:43,875
Something just moved
in my fingers.
255
00:15:43,977 --> 00:15:45,577
That...
Whoa, that's big.
256
00:15:45,679 --> 00:15:47,879
Yeah.
257
00:15:47,981 --> 00:15:50,382
It's coming
all the way out to here.
258
00:15:50,484 --> 00:15:52,584
A little bit stuck.
- Yeah.
259
00:15:52,686 --> 00:15:54,019
I got it.
I got it.
260
00:15:54,121 --> 00:15:57,389
One, two, three.
Three.
261
00:15:57,491 --> 00:15:59,891
Holy That... The
hell is this thing?
262
00:15:59,993 --> 00:16:02,193
Looks like it's been
down there a while?
263
00:16:02,296 --> 00:16:04,229
It's busted up for sure.
264
00:16:04,331 --> 00:16:05,564
Yeah, it is.
265
00:16:05,666 --> 00:16:07,067
This looks like where
it was torn off...
266
00:16:07,167 --> 00:16:08,867
Yeah.
- right here on this end.
267
00:16:08,969 --> 00:16:11,036
This looks like
it's an engine part.
268
00:16:11,138 --> 00:16:12,537
This is coming off
something big.
269
00:16:12,639 --> 00:16:14,773
That is not from a boat motor.
Yeah.
270
00:16:14,875 --> 00:16:17,842
This has no business
being out here. No.
271
00:16:17,945 --> 00:16:19,578
We found something
in our target area.
272
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:24,249
Clearly, it's a part of a motor, but I
don't know if this is part of our aircraft.
273
00:16:24,351 --> 00:16:26,284
We have to keep looking.
274
00:16:26,386 --> 00:16:30,355
With anomaly one identified
as a potential engine part,
275
00:16:30,457 --> 00:16:34,559
Mike and Tim walk 100 yards
to the area of anomaly two.
276
00:16:34,661 --> 00:16:38,430
Last marker.
This was the biggest echo.
277
00:16:38,532 --> 00:16:40,231
All right.
278
00:16:46,807 --> 00:16:48,273
Aah!
279
00:16:48,375 --> 00:16:49,641
What do you got?
280
00:16:49,743 --> 00:16:51,610
There's, like,
a sharp edge right here.
281
00:16:51,712 --> 00:16:54,779
Something here.
282
00:16:54,881 --> 00:16:56,081
How big is this?
283
00:16:56,183 --> 00:16:57,782
Tim, this is big,
whatever it is.
284
00:16:57,884 --> 00:17:00,251
Loosen it?
- No, I can't move mine.
285
00:17:00,354 --> 00:17:01,319
All right.
It's moving now.
286
00:17:01,421 --> 00:17:02,621
Back and forth?
- Yeah.
287
00:17:02,723 --> 00:17:03,991
This is metal.
- Yeah, go left and right.
288
00:17:04,091 --> 00:17:05,323
Go left and right.
289
00:17:05,425 --> 00:17:06,758
It's way in the muck.
290
00:17:06,860 --> 00:17:08,827
Let me get my
feet up under me.
291
00:17:08,929 --> 00:17:10,228
Ready?
292
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:18,670
Holyshit. Is this aluminium?
293
00:17:18,772 --> 00:17:20,505
Yep.
- Look at the damage.
294
00:17:20,607 --> 00:17:22,440
It just sheared at the end here.
295
00:17:22,542 --> 00:17:23,808
This is an airplane propeller.
296
00:17:23,910 --> 00:17:25,276
100 percent.
297
00:17:25,379 --> 00:17:27,112
Mike, we got it.
298
00:17:27,214 --> 00:17:29,347
This is exactly what we're looking for.
Yeah.
299
00:17:29,449 --> 00:17:31,516
I mean, this is exactly
where Don Tito
300
00:17:31,618 --> 00:17:33,918
said the airplane landed.
301
00:17:34,021 --> 00:17:35,520
You want corroborating evidence?
302
00:17:35,622 --> 00:17:37,422
This is it right here.
Yeah.
303
00:17:37,524 --> 00:17:41,526
Is there any other reason that this
propeller would be out in this lagoon?
304
00:17:41,628 --> 00:17:43,094
None whatsoever.
305
00:17:43,196 --> 00:17:46,197
It's in the lie of where we know
the aircraft came in.
306
00:17:46,299 --> 00:17:48,433
It's an aircraft propeller.
307
00:17:48,535 --> 00:17:51,002
Certainly has been
down there a long time.
308
00:17:51,104 --> 00:17:55,840
We have now found physical evidence
that there was a plane here,
309
00:17:55,942 --> 00:17:59,310
but that doesn't tell us what
that plane was doing here.
310
00:17:59,413 --> 00:18:05,316
We still have to get more information to be
able to know if there were Nazis on board.
311
00:18:10,490 --> 00:18:13,024
Who could possibly
be on this airplane?
312
00:18:13,126 --> 00:18:16,528
This thing is huge, enormous.
313
00:18:16,630 --> 00:18:19,364
Bob and Nada review the
findings from the field team
314
00:18:19,466 --> 00:18:23,468
235 miles outside
of Buenos Aires, Argentina,
315
00:18:23,570 --> 00:18:28,606
where they have uncovered physical evidence
of a 1945 emergency seaplane landing
316
00:18:28,709 --> 00:18:34,112
that, according to a Uruguayan report, was
transporting Nazi war criminals and gold.
317
00:18:34,214 --> 00:18:37,082
The team scanned the area,
and they found two items.
318
00:18:37,184 --> 00:18:40,418
One was possibly an engine part,
and the other one is a propeller,
319
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:42,487
and it's a fairly large
propeller.
320
00:18:42,589 --> 00:18:44,389
It's not off a small plane.
321
00:18:44,491 --> 00:18:47,492
We at least have some evidence
to place the seaplane there.
322
00:18:47,594 --> 00:18:49,828
Now the question becomes
how do we confirm
323
00:18:49,930 --> 00:18:53,231
that the passengers on board
were actually Nazi officers?
324
00:18:53,333 --> 00:18:56,601
Our eyewitness, Don Tito,
told us that the seaplane
325
00:18:56,703 --> 00:18:59,604
had three other planes
accompanying it.
326
00:18:59,706 --> 00:19:02,941
He talked about at least one of
the passengers having bodyguards.
327
00:19:03,043 --> 00:19:08,680
Who takes bodyguards with him in a plane
travelling through South America?
328
00:19:08,782 --> 00:19:12,283
None of this makes
any sense at all.
329
00:19:12,385 --> 00:19:14,185
If what the eyewitness
said is true,
330
00:19:14,287 --> 00:19:17,122
this does not sound like
a typical commercial flight.
331
00:19:17,224 --> 00:19:18,992
We don't know for sure
what those other planes were.
332
00:19:19,092 --> 00:19:21,793
Were they there
for deterrent or defense?
333
00:19:21,895 --> 00:19:25,130
We need to see how many more
pieces we can add to the puzzle.
334
00:19:25,232 --> 00:19:27,532
We know this plane
could have landed there.
335
00:19:27,634 --> 00:19:30,969
It begs the question,
who was on it?
336
00:19:31,071 --> 00:19:34,405
We have to separate the myth
from the fact here.
337
00:19:46,052 --> 00:19:48,386
We're coming up to the main
point in Montevideo.
338
00:19:48,488 --> 00:19:54,025
Tim and Mike land
125 miles east of Buenos Aires
339
00:19:54,127 --> 00:19:59,264
where their local contact, Dante, has
arranged a meeting with Jose Aldunate,
340
00:19:59,366 --> 00:20:02,433
a man whose father
was one of the first people
341
00:20:02,536 --> 00:20:05,436
to respond to the
seaplane crash in 1945.
342
00:20:07,874 --> 00:20:11,376
Now we know that plane made the
emergency landing in Laguna de Rocha.
343
00:20:11,478 --> 00:20:14,879
What we don't know is what this
flight was and who was on it.
344
00:20:14,981 --> 00:20:17,549
Thanks for taking the time
to talk to us.
345
00:20:17,651 --> 00:20:21,119
Your father was present
during the evacuation?
346
00:20:22,689 --> 00:20:26,424
When they evacuated everybody off
the plane, what did that look like?
347
00:20:26,526 --> 00:20:28,960
Can you describe to me
what the people look like?
348
00:20:29,062 --> 00:20:30,328
Did they take all the cargo?
349
00:20:30,430 --> 00:20:32,831
Did they take everything
that was in the plane?
350
00:20:40,340 --> 00:20:42,774
They took everything
from the plane.
351
00:20:42,876 --> 00:20:44,342
Right away?
- Right away.
352
00:20:52,786 --> 00:20:54,986
The commander,
the pilot of the seaplane,
353
00:20:55,088 --> 00:20:57,989
and his father,
they became close friends.
354
00:20:58,091 --> 00:21:01,759
They spent about two days
together fixing the plane
355
00:21:01,862 --> 00:21:05,163
and speaking about
previous flights.
356
00:21:05,265 --> 00:21:07,265
Do you think that the
commander of the seaplane
357
00:21:07,367 --> 00:21:12,437
was working directly for the Germans
after the war and flying Nazis?
358
00:21:29,890 --> 00:21:31,970
What was the present
that the pilot gave your father?
359
00:21:36,496 --> 00:21:37,896
You have it?
360
00:21:39,900 --> 00:21:43,401
You have the thing that
the pilot gave to your father?
361
00:21:43,503 --> 00:21:46,738
I want to see it, please.
362
00:21:49,075 --> 00:21:53,244
Everything that Mr. Aldunate
tells us is very interesting,
363
00:21:53,346 --> 00:21:55,713
but at this point,
it's all just conjecture.
364
00:21:55,815 --> 00:21:57,181
It's all speculation.
365
00:21:57,284 --> 00:22:02,186
We need some physical proof to
link Nazis with this aircraft.
366
00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:07,825
What is this?
367
00:22:10,897 --> 00:22:14,432
It's in German.
Schwimmweste.
368
00:22:17,203 --> 00:22:19,938
My God.
Is that what I think it is?
369
00:22:22,275 --> 00:22:23,942
This is a swastika.
370
00:22:27,681 --> 00:22:30,281
The life vest from the pilot
was German-made,
371
00:22:30,383 --> 00:22:34,185
German-manufactured,
has a swastika on it.
372
00:22:34,287 --> 00:22:39,023
This can prove that there
were Nazis on board that flight.
373
00:22:39,125 --> 00:22:44,562
Did your father ever speculate as to
what he thought this pilot was doing?
374
00:22:51,972 --> 00:22:55,640
He says that this pilot
flew through South America
375
00:22:55,742 --> 00:22:58,042
where there was
some Nazi communities.
376
00:23:00,513 --> 00:23:03,648
And he would land at
the Paraná River in Misiones?
377
00:23:03,750 --> 00:23:06,584
Yes, Paraná River.
378
00:23:06,686 --> 00:23:10,221
We know that the Nazis
were in Misiones.
379
00:23:10,323 --> 00:23:14,225
This feels
like military barracks.
380
00:23:14,327 --> 00:23:15,662
You could shoot
straight across this.
381
00:23:15,762 --> 00:23:19,464
This is going to give you an
elevated position to rain down hell.
382
00:23:19,566 --> 00:23:22,734
Another layer of protection
for who is behind it.
383
00:23:24,671 --> 00:23:27,605
He also mentioned
the Atlantic Coast of Argentina
384
00:23:27,707 --> 00:23:29,474
in Santa Cruz and Buenos Aires,
385
00:23:29,576 --> 00:23:32,844
and he mentioned the final
destination, which is Patagonia.
386
00:23:32,946 --> 00:23:35,146
Do you know what specific
lakes in Patagonia?
387
00:23:36,649 --> 00:23:39,417
That's the lake next to Bariloche.
- Yes.
388
00:23:43,189 --> 00:23:46,290
So he would fly, and he would
land in the Paraná River,
389
00:23:46,393 --> 00:23:48,426
and he would land in Bariloche
390
00:23:48,528 --> 00:23:53,598
where we know there are a dense
population of high-ranking Nazis.
391
00:23:53,700 --> 00:23:56,834
Hundreds of Nazis came here
at the end of World War II.
392
00:23:56,936 --> 00:23:58,302
This is a refuge.
393
00:24:04,878 --> 00:24:07,979
We're talking a mansion
40 miles away from anywhere.
394
00:24:09,749 --> 00:24:11,618
Hey, I've found what I think
is a ramp for seaplanes
395
00:24:11,718 --> 00:24:14,018
coming right up to the front
of this property.
396
00:24:16,990 --> 00:24:19,657
This is massively significant,
that this plane could fly
397
00:24:19,759 --> 00:24:23,961
all the way from Europe to here
and then go to Bariloche.
398
00:24:24,064 --> 00:24:26,964
This seaplane and this pilot
were making landings
399
00:24:27,067 --> 00:24:30,201
all throughout South America...
Places that we've been before.
400
00:24:30,303 --> 00:24:31,736
This is not a coincidence.
401
00:24:31,838 --> 00:24:35,473
This was part
of a Nazi shuttle service.
402
00:24:41,181 --> 00:24:42,647
We look at the evidence,
403
00:24:42,749 --> 00:24:45,917
and no individual piece
tells a whole story,
404
00:24:46,019 --> 00:24:49,220
but when you start
stacking them up, they do.
405
00:24:49,322 --> 00:24:52,924
Bob and Nada review the
findings from South America
406
00:24:53,026 --> 00:24:57,061
where the team has uncovered evidence
that a seaplane was shuttling Nazis
407
00:24:57,163 --> 00:25:00,865
from Buenos Aires
to key outposts in Bariloche
408
00:25:00,967 --> 00:25:03,601
and the Paraná River
near Misiones.
409
00:25:03,703 --> 00:25:07,505
So the eyewitness tells us
that the seaplane lands.
410
00:25:07,607 --> 00:25:09,740
His father actually
helps repair the plane,
411
00:25:09,843 --> 00:25:13,411
talks to the captain,
who's pilot of the plane,
412
00:25:13,513 --> 00:25:17,281
who tells him this plane went to
some of these other designated areas
413
00:25:17,383 --> 00:25:18,749
that you've already looked at.
414
00:25:18,852 --> 00:25:20,952
Yeah.
All the key areas...
415
00:25:21,054 --> 00:25:26,757
Bariloche, Misiones, and Buenos Aires,
to me, this looks like Nazi Air.
416
00:25:26,860 --> 00:25:28,559
It was like
a Nazi charter flight.
417
00:25:28,661 --> 00:25:32,463
This is a legitimate way for Nazis to
be able to travel within South America.
418
00:25:32,565 --> 00:25:33,731
Yeah.
419
00:25:33,833 --> 00:25:37,902
We are starting to connect
these Nazi facilities
420
00:25:38,004 --> 00:25:41,572
with a way to transport
people back and forth.
421
00:25:41,674 --> 00:25:48,079
I think we found the transportation system
the Nazis used to get around South America,
422
00:25:48,181 --> 00:25:52,550
and that's a seaplane leaving from
Buenos Aires into the interior.
423
00:25:52,652 --> 00:25:56,254
You need connections between
the various German areas,
424
00:25:56,356 --> 00:25:59,323
and this seaplane
would give you that.
425
00:25:59,425 --> 00:26:01,659
When we started
this investigation,
426
00:26:01,761 --> 00:26:06,430
it was Nazis made it to some
remote area and hid out.
427
00:26:06,533 --> 00:26:09,767
But now we've got airplanes that
are going around South America.
428
00:26:09,869 --> 00:26:12,236
The evidence is stacking up.
429
00:26:12,338 --> 00:26:15,907
Everything we've seen...
Communications, transportation,
430
00:26:16,009 --> 00:26:23,414
facilities, gold, they actually have the
makings of a Nazi state in South America.
431
00:26:23,516 --> 00:26:26,017
The Nazis
really did have a plan.
432
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:28,186
They were going to flee Europe,
433
00:26:28,288 --> 00:26:32,690
and they were going to start
the Fourth Reich in Argentina.
434
00:26:32,792 --> 00:26:35,193
The question is,
where was the capital?
435
00:26:35,295 --> 00:26:36,594
We know it wasn't Misiones.
436
00:26:36,696 --> 00:26:37,828
It's too remote.
437
00:26:37,931 --> 00:26:40,264
Was it Buenos Aires?
438
00:26:40,366 --> 00:26:42,300
We got to get the team
to find out.
439
00:26:52,111 --> 00:26:55,313
There are still people out there
that do not want this story told,
440
00:26:55,415 --> 00:27:00,484
so anything that can actually firm up
this end of the story would be brilliant.
441
00:27:00,587 --> 00:27:04,622
Tim Kennedy, Gerrard Williams
and their local contact, Dante,
442
00:27:04,724 --> 00:27:08,893
are in Buenos Aires, Argentina,
following a new lead that could change
443
00:27:08,995 --> 00:27:11,295
the course
of their investigation.
444
00:27:11,397 --> 00:27:14,398
In Argentina, they do not talk
about the Nazis.
445
00:27:14,500 --> 00:27:16,067
There's a wall of silence.
446
00:27:16,169 --> 00:27:20,338
70-something years on after the end
of World War II, it's still here.
447
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:21,841
If we're going to break
through that wall,
448
00:27:21,941 --> 00:27:24,675
it has to be handled
very, very sensitively.
449
00:27:24,777 --> 00:27:31,015
The team has secured an exclusive meeting
with investigative journalist Héctor Amudo,
450
00:27:31,117 --> 00:27:34,885
who has spent his career infiltrating
Nazi networks in South America.
451
00:27:34,988 --> 00:27:36,721
Héctor Amudo.
Nice to meet you.
452
00:27:36,823 --> 00:27:41,158
He is rumoured to have access to a
collection of never-before-seen documents
453
00:27:41,261 --> 00:27:43,995
outlining the Nazis' escape
through Buenos Aires.
454
00:27:44,097 --> 00:27:51,769
We were told that you have information
about the movement of Nazis in Argentina,
455
00:27:51,871 --> 00:27:53,437
specifically in Buenos Aires.
456
00:28:10,723 --> 00:28:13,891
Did you ever get to meet
this informant in person?
457
00:28:16,629 --> 00:28:20,097
Day after that,
he received an e-mail
458
00:28:20,199 --> 00:28:23,367
with some documents
related to the right links.
459
00:28:30,410 --> 00:28:32,543
5,000 documents?
460
00:28:32,645 --> 00:28:38,282
There were migration documents,
and he believes they don't exist
461
00:28:38,384 --> 00:28:40,117
anywhere in the world nowadays.
462
00:28:42,822 --> 00:28:46,157
So there are no public archive
versions of this or anything?
463
00:28:46,259 --> 00:28:47,591
No. No.
464
00:28:47,694 --> 00:28:50,895
These documents may be key
to discovering
465
00:28:50,997 --> 00:28:54,665
how the Nazis actually
operated in Argentina.
466
00:28:54,767 --> 00:29:00,971
It's vitally important that we get to
the real source of this information.
467
00:29:01,074 --> 00:29:03,341
That means seeing
the documents for ourselves
468
00:29:03,443 --> 00:29:05,776
and talking to the man
who has them.
469
00:29:05,878 --> 00:29:07,011
What's this man's name?
470
00:29:11,117 --> 00:29:14,285
It's paramount that we talk
to him, your informant.
471
00:29:17,223 --> 00:29:20,791
He says he's going to call
and try to convince him.
472
00:29:22,128 --> 00:29:23,661
If we want to see
these documents,
473
00:29:23,763 --> 00:29:25,696
if we want to go and talk
to this informant,
474
00:29:25,798 --> 00:29:27,998
Héctor is our chance.
475
00:29:32,071 --> 00:29:33,071
How dit go?
476
00:29:40,279 --> 00:29:42,213
Great.
- Well-done.
477
00:29:42,315 --> 00:29:43,848
There's some conditions,
you know.
478
00:29:49,355 --> 00:29:51,589
There's no showing of his face.
- Right.
479
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:56,494
We agree to those conditions.
- Yes.
480
00:29:56,596 --> 00:29:59,263
You know, just tell us
when and where to meet him.
481
00:29:59,365 --> 00:30:01,932
This level of effort
to remain anonymous
482
00:30:02,034 --> 00:30:04,402
means that he could have
ground-breaking evidence
483
00:30:04,504 --> 00:30:06,937
and information
about this investigation.
484
00:30:07,039 --> 00:30:09,907
There's no telling
what this informant has,
485
00:30:10,009 --> 00:30:13,677
but this could break
this investigation wide open.
486
00:30:20,420 --> 00:30:21,685
We have one more turn.
487
00:30:21,788 --> 00:30:22,987
Okay.
488
00:30:23,089 --> 00:30:27,458
In Buenos Aires, Argentina,
Tim and Gerrard's local contact
489
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:30,661
has arranged for the team
to meet with an informant
490
00:30:30,763 --> 00:30:34,732
who claims to have in his possession
a large quantity of documents
491
00:30:34,834 --> 00:30:38,335
regarding the movement of escaped
Nazis through Buenos Aires.
492
00:30:38,438 --> 00:30:41,505
He sounds really nervous, so we're
just going to have to make sure
493
00:30:41,607 --> 00:30:43,207
that, even though
the cameras are there,
494
00:30:43,309 --> 00:30:45,342
that the cameras feel
like they're not there,
495
00:30:45,445 --> 00:30:50,514
and if he focuses in on it and gets
really shy, then we have a problem.
496
00:30:50,616 --> 00:30:55,719
There's no telling how important or
significant this interview could become.
497
00:30:55,822 --> 00:31:00,090
This might give us actual documentation
of what happened to Adolf Hitler
498
00:31:00,193 --> 00:31:02,526
and other high-ranking Nazis.
499
00:31:02,628 --> 00:31:04,895
Let's do it.
500
00:31:04,997 --> 00:31:07,398
Just keep the camera down.
501
00:31:09,702 --> 00:31:11,569
This is it?
502
00:31:14,373 --> 00:31:15,573
How you doing?
- Hi.
503
00:31:15,675 --> 00:31:17,208
Tim.
504
00:31:17,310 --> 00:31:19,777
Due to the sensitive
nature of his documents,
505
00:31:19,879 --> 00:31:21,912
the informant has requested
that the team
506
00:31:22,014 --> 00:31:24,114
keep his identity a secret.
507
00:31:24,217 --> 00:31:27,685
Really appreciate you taking
the time to talk to us.
508
00:31:27,787 --> 00:31:30,855
We're not going to use anything
509
00:31:30,957 --> 00:31:34,959
that will put you
or your family in jeopardy.
510
00:31:35,061 --> 00:31:36,129
We can disguise your voice.
511
00:31:36,229 --> 00:31:37,795
We can blur your face.
512
00:31:37,897 --> 00:31:39,964
We just want to see
the information.
513
00:31:40,066 --> 00:31:42,366
We understand
that you have documents
514
00:31:42,468 --> 00:31:46,470
that detail the movement
of Nazis in Argentina postwar.
515
00:31:52,912 --> 00:31:54,545
That's correct.
516
00:31:54,647 --> 00:31:58,682
Could you tell us where
you got these documents from,
517
00:31:58,784 --> 00:32:02,620
how you came to get your
hands on this information?
518
00:32:08,060 --> 00:32:10,961
He's a senior party member,
your granddad?
519
00:32:15,835 --> 00:32:20,437
There's an organization that
was founded by major Nazis.
520
00:32:20,540 --> 00:32:24,842
His grandfather, being part of this
community, received these documents.
521
00:32:24,944 --> 00:32:30,281
Then when his grandfather passed
away, he found files, documents.
522
00:32:30,383 --> 00:32:31,916
Was there a name for that group?
523
00:32:33,753 --> 00:32:36,487
Die Spinne was operating
in Argentina?
524
00:32:44,096 --> 00:32:46,864
We have investigated
Die Spinne before.
525
00:32:46,966 --> 00:32:52,870
On the 10th of August, 1944,
many wealthy German expats
526
00:32:52,972 --> 00:32:56,941
as well as many Nazi officials, under
the supervision of Martin Bormann,
527
00:32:57,043 --> 00:32:59,643
met to plan the formation of...
528
00:33:01,380 --> 00:33:04,815
This was a network that could,
with great numbers and ease,
529
00:33:04,917 --> 00:33:08,385
transfer the highest-level Nazis
out of Europe.
530
00:33:08,487 --> 00:33:11,021
His grandfather
was at the center of Die Spinne.
531
00:33:11,123 --> 00:33:14,558
He helped and facilitated the
movement of high-ranking Nazis,
532
00:33:14,660 --> 00:33:17,461
maybe even Adolf Hitler
himself, into Argentina.
533
00:33:21,067 --> 00:33:23,300
Do you want to see
the accountant's book?
534
00:33:23,402 --> 00:33:25,436
Yeah.
535
00:33:37,917 --> 00:33:39,817
The numbers, is that money?
536
00:33:42,521 --> 00:33:47,324
This is $288,000.
537
00:33:47,426 --> 00:33:50,060
Somebody is moving over
a quarter of a million dollars.
538
00:33:50,162 --> 00:33:52,529
Dollars?
- Dollars.
539
00:33:52,632 --> 00:33:55,165
These are massive sums of money.
540
00:33:55,267 --> 00:33:59,737
This is them counting every single
dollar of them moving people from Europe
541
00:33:59,839 --> 00:34:01,672
to Argentina and South America.
542
00:34:01,774 --> 00:34:03,440
Somebody was funding it.
543
00:34:03,542 --> 00:34:08,078
Somebody is financing it to a
huge level, so much money.
544
00:34:08,180 --> 00:34:10,681
What we have in our hands
is a ledger
545
00:34:10,783 --> 00:34:15,052
which details transactions
that pay for the ships
546
00:34:15,154 --> 00:34:17,454
that are bringing the Nazis
across the Atlantic
547
00:34:17,556 --> 00:34:19,256
to their new home
in Buenos Aires.
548
00:34:19,358 --> 00:34:23,460
Do you have any other
documents of specific individuals
549
00:34:23,562 --> 00:34:26,630
about their movement, how
they came here, immigration?
550
00:34:30,569 --> 00:34:31,769
Said we should go upstairs.
551
00:34:31,871 --> 00:34:34,271
Can we see them?
552
00:34:47,286 --> 00:34:50,888
These are all related
to the immigration?
553
00:34:56,929 --> 00:35:01,832
So every one of these is an
individual document of immigration.
554
00:35:01,934 --> 00:35:05,969
This is a massive amount of
information and a ton of documents.
555
00:35:06,072 --> 00:35:08,672
In the hopes of finally
setting history straight,
556
00:35:08,774 --> 00:35:12,342
the informant has granted the team
exclusive permission to review,
557
00:35:12,445 --> 00:35:15,846
for the very first time, his
cache of hundreds of documents
558
00:35:15,948 --> 00:35:19,650
that have been kept under lock
and key for nearly 70 years.
559
00:35:19,752 --> 00:35:22,119
What this informant
was showing us is amazing...
560
00:35:22,221 --> 00:35:27,658
Stack after stack of immigration documents,
and if Adolf Eichmann, Martin Bormann,
561
00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:31,795
or even Adolf Hitler is in
there, that changes history.
562
00:35:31,897 --> 00:35:34,465
This is a treasure trove
of information.
563
00:35:34,567 --> 00:35:37,935
This is the Atlantis of
how Nazis are being moved.
564
00:35:46,645 --> 00:35:50,848
So every one of these is an
individual document of immigration.
565
00:35:50,950 --> 00:35:54,885
In Buenos Aires, Tim and
Gerrard prepare to inspect
566
00:35:54,987 --> 00:35:58,388
a private collection of secret,
never-before-seen documents
567
00:35:58,491 --> 00:36:01,391
that could shed new light
on Nazi war criminals
568
00:36:01,494 --> 00:36:05,562
moving into Argentina
after World War II.
569
00:36:05,664 --> 00:36:10,334
These are proof of these Nazis
coming into the country.
570
00:36:10,436 --> 00:36:12,369
Yeah.
571
00:36:12,471 --> 00:36:18,575
The potential of what these documents
may contain could rewrite history.
572
00:36:18,677 --> 00:36:23,981
This could be hard evidence on paper
of Nazis entering Buenos Aires.
573
00:36:24,083 --> 00:36:29,853
Whatever information we gather, it could
lead us directly to Adolf Hitler himself.
574
00:36:29,955 --> 00:36:33,257
These are amazing.
575
00:36:33,359 --> 00:36:35,993
I've not seen documents
like this before.
576
00:36:36,095 --> 00:36:39,196
I would like to call a friend
in the archives in Buenos Aires
577
00:36:39,298 --> 00:36:42,099
and see if she can come
and just take a look at these
578
00:36:42,201 --> 00:36:43,934
and tell us they're real.
579
00:36:44,036 --> 00:36:45,002
No problem.
- Brilliant.
580
00:36:45,104 --> 00:36:46,436
Okay.
581
00:36:46,539 --> 00:36:49,439
It is imperative when you
come across information,
582
00:36:49,542 --> 00:36:54,678
documentation that is this significant to
history, that it has to be authenticated.
583
00:36:54,780 --> 00:36:56,213
You know, it has to be vetted.
584
00:36:56,315 --> 00:36:59,349
It has to be shown
to be truthful and accurate.
585
00:37:01,821 --> 00:37:03,453
Lucrecia, thank you very much.
586
00:37:03,556 --> 00:37:05,856
Good to see you.
And you.
587
00:37:05,958 --> 00:37:12,062
Tim and Gerrard enlist the help of Lucrecia
Kessig, document verification expert
588
00:37:12,164 --> 00:37:15,866
from the Argentine National
Archives, whose extensive knowledge
589
00:37:15,968 --> 00:37:19,369
will help the team
authenticate the documents.
590
00:37:19,471 --> 00:37:21,405
So, these are our documents.
591
00:37:21,507 --> 00:37:23,073
Okay.
592
00:37:23,175 --> 00:37:26,210
Lucrecia from the National Archive
has been helpful before,
593
00:37:26,312 --> 00:37:28,545
especially in some of
my research in Buenos Aires.
594
00:37:28,647 --> 00:37:31,548
She knows her stuff,
so she'll be able to tell us
595
00:37:31,650 --> 00:37:34,818
whether this mound of
documentation that we have before us
596
00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:37,287
is real and is from the period.
597
00:37:37,389 --> 00:37:39,823
We're going to get
a professional in to tell us.
598
00:38:02,581 --> 00:38:03,680
Okay.
599
00:38:19,698 --> 00:38:21,378
So in your professional
opinion...
600
00:38:24,870 --> 00:38:26,103
Thank you.
601
00:38:26,205 --> 00:38:28,205
What Gerrard and I
have to do now
602
00:38:28,307 --> 00:38:32,276
is go through every single
one of these documents.
603
00:38:32,378 --> 00:38:35,679
We're trying to find
high-ranking Nazis.
604
00:38:35,781 --> 00:38:37,881
We can't miss a single detail.
605
00:38:51,997 --> 00:38:53,397
How many boxes?
606
00:38:53,499 --> 00:38:56,800
We're getting through them.
607
00:38:56,902 --> 00:39:02,739
So 1945, 300,000 people
came to Argentina.
608
00:39:02,841 --> 00:39:07,311
In 1946, 351,000
came to Argentina.
609
00:39:07,413 --> 00:39:10,247
That's a lot of people moving
in and out of the country.
610
00:39:10,349 --> 00:39:11,517
How many of them are Nazis, Tim?
611
00:39:11,617 --> 00:39:13,483
How many of them were fascists?
612
00:39:13,585 --> 00:39:15,886
How many of them were the
worst creatures on the planet?
613
00:39:19,291 --> 00:39:20,857
Some more...
614
00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:22,194
More immigration?
- Disembark. Yeah.
615
00:39:22,294 --> 00:39:23,660
Yeah.
- Immigration disembarks.
616
00:39:23,762 --> 00:39:25,162
Recognize any of these people?
617
00:39:29,368 --> 00:39:32,269
The ship manifest, Tim.
Passenger numbers?
618
00:39:32,371 --> 00:39:34,404
Yeah.
619
00:39:34,506 --> 00:39:39,343
And number 920 sticks out
like a sore thumb.
620
00:39:41,180 --> 00:39:45,849
Last name on the list,
typed in black.
621
00:39:45,951 --> 00:39:51,355
Gregor Helmut, Gregor Helmut,
NN, Gregor Helmut.
622
00:39:51,457 --> 00:39:54,725
Helmut Gregor, Tim,
is Josef Mengele.
623
00:39:56,795 --> 00:40:00,130
And Josef Mengele is one
of the most foul creatures
624
00:40:00,232 --> 00:40:03,867
the world has ever produced,
the camp doctor at Auschwitz,
625
00:40:03,969 --> 00:40:06,903
Auschwitz's Angel of Death.
626
00:40:07,006 --> 00:40:09,272
This is his alias?
This is Josef Mengele's alias?
627
00:40:09,375 --> 00:40:13,210
One of the many he uses,
but it's the first one he uses.
628
00:40:13,312 --> 00:40:14,778
It looks like
it's been added on.
629
00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:16,813
Maybe he's late
to join the ship.
630
00:40:16,915 --> 00:40:19,449
Holyshit.
631
00:40:19,551 --> 00:40:23,487
We know how Helmut Gregor
is actually Josef Mengele,
632
00:40:23,589 --> 00:40:25,922
one of the worst criminals
in the Holocaust,
633
00:40:26,025 --> 00:40:29,726
very, very senior
in that Nazi network
634
00:40:29,828 --> 00:40:34,631
and a man who is being not
just given refuge in Argentina,
635
00:40:34,733 --> 00:40:37,501
but being welcomed here.
636
00:40:37,603 --> 00:40:42,005
We know, after World War II,
Josef Mengele was never caught.
637
00:40:42,107 --> 00:40:46,777
Following Mengele could lead us
directly to Adolf Hitler himself.
638
00:40:50,516 --> 00:40:52,983
Next time
on "Hunting Hitler"...
639
00:40:53,085 --> 00:40:54,451
Look at that light bulb.
640
00:40:56,255 --> 00:40:58,422
It is a swastika.
It's a beacon.
641
00:40:58,524 --> 00:41:02,526
We now have a hydroelectric
power plant here in Uruguay
642
00:41:02,628 --> 00:41:04,661
that could have been
producing heavy water,
643
00:41:04,763 --> 00:41:09,199
one of the most important components
to a nuclear weapon from the Nazis.
644
00:41:18,544 --> 00:41:20,024
The house that you
saw Adolf Hitler...
645
00:41:26,919 --> 00:41:28,718
Look at this fence.
646
00:41:28,821 --> 00:41:32,689
Why do you need that out here?
647
00:41:32,791 --> 00:41:36,059
This could be a perfect spot for an ambush,
a couple of guys with machine guns.
648
00:41:36,161 --> 00:41:37,494
Nobody is getting through.
649
00:41:39,832 --> 00:41:42,065
This might be a guard shack.
650
00:41:42,167 --> 00:41:46,369
From this one position alone, you
could almost walk down this valley.
651
00:41:46,472 --> 00:41:50,173
This is where Adolf Hitler
could stay safe and secure
652
00:41:50,275 --> 00:41:54,111
and live out his old age, move his
plans forward for the Fourth Reich.
