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...

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?

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.
