- Looking at Bariloche,

it's very easy to think that
this is just a beautiful place

full of beautiful people,

but this city
holds a seriously dark secret.

Hundreds of Nazis came here
at the end of World War II.

Senior SS generals,
Auschwitz's angel of death,

and more than likely,

the leader of the Third Reich,
Adolf Hitler himself.

He could've found refuge here
and stayed in this place,

the Inalco House.

- You better not go there,
you know?

- Okay.
- I don't know.

- Well,
I think we will go there.

[dramatic music]

♪

- The evidence keeps stacking up
that this would've been a route

Hitler would've taken
had he fled.

male narrator: 21-year
CIA veteran, Bob Baer,

and war crimes
investigator John Cencich

have used the recently
declassified FBI files

to determine that Hitler

could have escaped
Germany bound for Spain,

boarded a U-boat in
the Spanish port town of Vigo,

then arrived off the coast
of Argentina

three months later.

- Hitler could have left
Vigo, Spain,

and what we have in Argentina

is a team that's looking
for the possibility

there's a scuttled U-boat here.

They've been looking for days.

We found what we thought could
have been a piece of the U-boat,

but the weather's coming in.

So we need to keep digging.

My problem is,
the distance from Vigo, up here,

down to Argentina in a U-boat.

Look at these things.

It's not some place

you would like to spend
a couple weeks underwater.

These are like big coffins.

So, he
needs an intermediate stop,

and that would be the Canary
Islands off North Africa,

which is in a way,

a no-man's land.

narrator: On the remote
Spanish Canary Islands,

the team uncovered evidence
that certain locals

were secretly supporting
the Nazis during the war.

- Is he telling me
there was an Enigma machine?

- [speaking Spanish]

narrator: A nearby network
of tunnels less than a mile

from the sea
were rumored to be arming

and re-supplying German U-boats
during the war.

- He's telling me that there was
island storage for torpedoes.

Some tunnels.

- Could a U-boat have been
resupplied in the Canary Islands

and could Adolf Hitler
have used that location

to make his way
to South America?

- Let's get Lenny and Gerrard
into these tunnels,

see what they can find.

- This whole myth
of Spanish neutrality

is just blown away for me.

narrator: Former US Marshals
Commander Lenny DePaul

and acclaimed investigative
journalist Gerrard Williams

make their way
to the network of tunnels

rumored to be
a Nazi U-boat base

that could have aided Hitler
in his journey to Argentina.

- All the Intel that we gathered
here said that the tunnels

were specifically built
for the navy.

The navy kept
their ammunition here,

that kept their torpedoes.

There's seven kilometers
of tunnels, that's enormous,

and who supported it?

Was it the Germans
or was it General Franco?

We need to find out either way.

narrator: Local journalist
Javier Duran,

the man responsible
for exposing the presence

of these hidden tunnels,

has gotten the team access
to the complex.

- Okay.

- This is on a completely
different scale.

Look at the size
of this blast stone.

- Yeah, I see.

- What's that,
eight inches of steel?

- Wow. Nobody's getting
past that thing. That is solid.

- This is, I mean,
seriously military engineering

from the '40s.

- [speaking Spanish]

- It is a ventilation system.

- [speaking Spanish]

- These rooms were isolated
rooms

to manipulate explosives.

- Here, see the lip?

So you're making
a proper airtight seal

when you close this.

- Was Franco and Hitler's
conversation about this place

so they could protect
the island?

The Canary Islands?

- [speaking Spanish]

- Of course Hitler was really
worried that Allied forces

could invade the Canary Islands,

so, the next strategic point
close to Africa

and the rest of Europe is here.

narrator: Although Spanish
dictator Francisco Franco

kept his country neutral
during World War II,

he supported the Nazi regime,

which helped him rise to power
during the Spanish Civil War.

In 1940 Franco me with Hitler
in Hendaye, France

to discuss
the Nazi leader's secret use

of the Canary Islands.

It is believed that Franco
offered this as a concession

for never officially joining
the Axis powers.

- '36, '39,

the civil war in Spain,

your economy is a complete mess
in '39.

Something like this costs
millions of dollars to build.

Who paid for this?

- Officially all this was built
with Spanish money.

- Look at this Gerrard. Ah-ha!

- Ah-ha!

That's to carry the torpedoes.

- That's to hoist.

There's a hoist runs
the entire length of the tunnel.

Look at that. All the way down.

- That can carry
a lot of ammunition.

In the early '40s Spain
has a really small navy.

We've been in a room that could
hold hundreds of torpedoes.

Well, the only submarines
that are in these waters

that need torpedoes
are Nazi submarines.

It just goes on forever.

It's amazing.

This is just too big for Spain
in those days.

It's got to be meant
for somebody else,

or it's got to be meant
for Spain and a friend

and we know who that friend is.

That friend is Adolf Hitler
and the Nazi party.

- Spain didn't have U-boats.

They didn't have the kind

of resources available
to build something like this.

Clearly the Germans
came in and built this for them.

I don't care whose name
the title was in,

it was a German base.

- These tunnels,
they're far too expensive

for the Spanish government,

but we don't have
to even look at the money.

All we have to do
is look at common sense.

Why would the Spanish
government

develop an infrastructure

for submarines when they
don't have any submarines?

- I think what we've established
here to my satisfaction

is that a U-boat
could've been taken care of,

and the question is, what
would've happened to Hitler?

I mean, we're not talking

about he landed there
for a couple of hours,

we're talking possibly weeks.

They didn't move him
into one of these tunnels

to recuperate in a tunnel,

I can tell you that.

Hitler was not the Unabomber
that lives out

in a shack in the forest
that runs off electricity.

You're taking somebody
who is leading the Third Reich

and you have to protect him.

What we need to do is spread out
from the mere tunnels

and look for known associates.

Any sort of other infrastructure

which could take care
of a human being

to recuperate from a U-boat.

narrator: John digs
through the declassified files

for any mention
of key Nazi supporters

on the remote Canary Islands.

- We have a document
here from the OSS,

what the OSS
are calling "obnoxious" Germans.

This OSS document relates
specifically to Gustav Winter.

- It's not a term
we use today, obnoxious,

but what they're talking about
is somebody

on a terrorist watch list.

- He was a German engineer.

In 1930 he moved
to the Canary Islands

where he built a villa,

and certain aspects of his villa

became a militarized zone
under Franco.

- Well, I mean, look,

somebody going down
to the Canary Islands,

buying or leasing a peninsula,

building a villa
in World War II,

I mean we're talking
about essentially a base.

- It's a satellite Nazi base.

- Yeah, there's no other way
to put it.

- Is it a place where Hitler
could've received the rest

and recuperation
that he really needed?

Let's get Lenny and Gerrard
in there.

Let's see what they can find.

- Gerrard, look
at the front of the house.

Looks like some kind
of an observation tower.

narrator: After an hour drive
through volcanic mountains,

the team surveys the 44 acres
of land

surrounding Villa Winter.

- You've got one road in,
one road out.

- Look how this is built;
it's a fortress.

They have vantage points
on top of these mountains.

I've hunted the worst
of the worst;

I've found them hiding
in cabinets, behind trees,

in tunnels. I would throw all
that in the garbage

to have a place
like this if I was a fugitive.

It's desolate,
there's nothing here.

Perfect spot for a safe house.

A compound like that,
there was somebody in that house

that I needed to pull
out of there,

it'd be almost impossible
for me to get to without anybody

knowing I was coming.

For a fugitive, it's a fortress.

Perfect place to hide.

- Here's our first glimpse
of the sea.

narrator: Tim Kennedy,
US Army Special Forces,

and a team of world-renowned
marine archeologists

are following
eyewitness testimony,

Argentine naval documents,

and an FBI report

that potentially places
a sunken U-boat

that shuttled Adolf Hitler
to South America in this area.

- Holy crap.

narrator: After spending ten
days searching these waters,

the team comes head
to head with Mother Nature.

- Crazy.

- Golly.

Jeez!

This is crazy water here.

Swells, wind, whitecaps.

It's a sailor's worst nightmare.

What would happen if we tried
to put a boat out there?

- The wind
comes in this direction,

we try to go in like this,
you would just--

- Hit the breaker, come up--

- Yes, it just--

- Honestly I don't think
you'd even get past the surf.

- You'd get one wave
over the side, equipment's gone,

more importantly it's a safety
issue for everybody on board.

- There's no way
you're going out today.

It's just insane to go out
like this.

- Where we are this time
of year, it's getting colder,

winds getting harder, storms
are going to be coming in.

it's just getting rougher.

We're grounded.

All right, let's go.

You can't do this stuff
during the winter,

and winter is here.

- How much further we gotta go?

- Not very much.

narrator: Lenny DePaul,
Gerrard Williams,

and their local translator make
their way towards a property

once owned by Gustav Winter,
a prominent name

on the US government's
German watch list.

- Villa Winter is built on 44
and a half acres of Nazi land.

narrator: They are in search
of any evidence

that could point to Hitler
using this villa

as a rest stop and safe house

to break up the grueling 7,000
mile U-boat journey from Europe

to South America.

- Boy, look at this.

- It's like something out
of a James Bond novel, you know?

This is where the baddies live.

- Welcome to Villa Winter.

narrator: The team has been
granted access

by the property's
current owner,

a real estate
development company

who will soon level the villa
to make way for a resort.

- Gerrard, look.

See the glass?

- It's not nice stuff.

- I have no blueprints,
I have nothing.

So, I have no idea
exactly what we'll find here.

- Okay, so then it's possible

that they could've
been using this

to signal to U-boats offshore,

give them a point of reference,

and it's not a difficult idea

to think that you could be taken
by small boat to those U-boats.

- And to here.

- What goes on down here?

- What was this space
used for exactly?

- It's like a little dormitory.

- Jaime, what's this?

- What was down here?

- I don't know.

It's very strange.

- This kind of reminds me of
a medical facility or something.

You know, with the tile
and the way it's set up in here.

- Yeah, put an operating table
in the middle.

I mean, there were places
where people could recuperate,

and recover, and sleep,
and stay.

This is an amazing safe house,

if you were a high value target
you are hiding somewhere,

it's amazingly secure.

So, if you're a U-boat captain,

it's a great place to aim for,

and when people
are arriving here exhausted,

or in need of some sort
of medical help,

they could rest here
while a doctor treats them.

This could be
used to get high-ranking

Nazi officials out of Germany
and to safety.

- Villa Winter, it's perfect
if you take somebody

like Adolf Hitler
who needs medical treatment,

bring him here for however long.

On top of this you
have a known Nazi living there.

I think this is a huge clue.

- If we look back
at the FBI document

that relates to Hitler's
submarine landing in Argentina,

it says the sub came ashore
and Hitler, two women,

a doctor, disembarked.

You have Hitler
with serious medical conditions.

A medical facility
at the Villa Winter,

then Hitler arrived by submarine
accompanied by a doctor.

It's all aligned.

- Between the tunnels
for the U-boat and this house,

this could be the perfect place

for Hitler to recuperate
on his way to Argentina.

narrator: Satisfied that it was
possible that Hitler

used the Canary Islands
as a transit point

to South America,

Bob shifts focus
to the other leg

of the investigation: the hunt
for a scuttled German U-boat.

- Now we've got this team down
in Argentina,

which is running a roadblock,
and that's the weather.

Winter is coming on.

But, I think
what we really need to do

is push on the investigation,

at least for this winter.
- I agree.

- I'm convinced
there's a U-boat out there.

I want to come back
when the weather is better

and find that damn thing.

In the meantime,

the evidence for Hitler landing
in Argentina was very strong.

narrator: Earlier in
the investigation,

the team on the ground
in South America

followed an FBI file placing
Hitler unloading from a U-boat

near the Argentine port town
of San Antonio Oeste.

They uncovered eyewitness
testimony--

- She claims
that from her kitchen window,

she saw a submarine.

narrator: A local
Argentine naval file

of a mysterious German U-boat--

- What happened to the sub?

- They don't know.

narrator: And a Nazi kingpin,

Geraldo Lahusen,
operating in the area.

- I'm firmly confident
that Hitler very well

could've landed
in San Antonio Oeste.

The question is,
where did he go next?

He's not going to sit here
where he got off the U-boat,

especially if it was scuttled.

There's too much risk.

- If you go to some
of these other documents,

one an FBI document

indicating that once this U-boat
arrives in Argentina,

there's a trip inland

towards the foothills
of the southern Andes.

"The party arrived at the ranch
where Hitler

and his party are now hiding."

Another document I have here

is stating that Hitler is living

in an immense German estate

in Patagonia.

So, according
to multiple sources,

Hitler was moving inland.

- Well, it's Patagonia,
they're going for the mountains,

they're going for a remote area,

so what we are looking
for is German communities.

And, if you keep going
across South America

you'll come
to San Carlos de Bariloche.

Bariloche is the Berlin
of Argentina.

narrator: Bariloche has long
been known as an epicenter

for fleeing Nazi war criminals.

Nazi intelligence officer
Reinhard Kopps,

wanted for crimes
against humanity,

died at 86 in Bariloche,

and Erich Priebke,
captain of the SS police force

and the leader of the massacre
of 325 Italians,

lived openly
as a school teacher

until his capture made
international news in 1995.

- This isn't the kind of place
that you have to hide out.

The German community
there goes way back,

it's rooted there,

it's the kind of colony

that Hitler could feel
comfortable, protected.

- We are only going
to get one shot at it.

Some of the people in this area,

even today,
are not friendly to outsiders.

- If that report's right,

that we're looking for
an immense, German-owned estate,

Bariloche is
a good place to start.

- Absolutely.

- We need to get people
out there right now.

- Let's see what we can find.

- After World War II,
up towards '48, I mean,

this place became Nazi central.

narrator: Following
declassified reports

of Hitler living in Patagonia

on an immense
German-owned estate,

Tim Kennedy
and Gerrard Williams

begin their investigation
of Bariloche, a remote village

tucked between the border
of Argentina and Chile

that has long been a stronghold
for Nazis on the run.

- This place is isolated,
it's remote,

there's no access.

It was protected from
the rest of the world.

- You don't even realize
all the hidden secrets are here.

narrator: They are joined
by JP Cervantes, a Green Beret

who has spent his career
protecting high-value targets.

Bob has added him to the team

to help navigate this
tight-knit German community.

- This is not my first time
in Bariloche,

I was here before training
with the Argentine military.

According to them,
back in the '40s,

their primary mission

was to guard SS officers
that were here.

Not only support hiding,

but actually protect them.

If you're not from here

they will not tell you
anything about it.

You just don't come
into Bariloche

and start asking questions
about Nazis.

- Hundreds of Nazis came here
at the end of World War II.

So this really is a place
of security, this is a refuge.

It may all be chocolate shops
and Bavarian buildings,

but most of these
will hide a secret,

and that secret
after 70 years needs to told.

narrator: The team devises
a plan

to investigate Bariloche.

- Let's say at 1600
meet back here.

- All right guys, take care.

narrator: Gerrard will dig
into potential locations

of the immense
German-owned estate

cited in the
declassified files.

Tim and JP

investigate Bariloche's points
of entry and exit

to gather information on how a
target as high value as Hitler

could have been inserted
into this community.

- With special forces

I help people get from one point
to another.

The first thing

I gotta look is I gotta
look at all the points of entry.

How am I gonna
get transportation in here?

So if I want to move somebody
here, of course

I'm gonna use the rail line.

You know how a lot
of train stations are like,

in the middle of the town?

- Yeah.
- This one is in the outskirts.

- It's isolated, it's private,

if I was going to be wanting
to move somebody in and out,

this is how you'd want the train
to be located.

- So According to this the first
train that came to Bariloche

was in 1934.

- Those have been operational
for 11 years

before Hitler's escape.

narrator: To determine how
Hitler could have successfully

moved to Bariloche from
his last suspected location,

unloading from a U-boat in San
Antonio Oeste 400 miles away,

Tim and JP question
the train stationmaster.

- Does this track go all the way
to San Antonio Oeste?

- [speaking Spanish]

- That line has run since 1934.

- Were there any private trains,

like people
that shipped their cargo

using their own trains,

or any private boxes?

- As soon
as I hear the word Lahusen,

I have in my head,
Lahusen from San Antonio Oeste.

narrator: Earlier in
the investigation, FBI files

led the team to Geraldo
Lahusen,

a wealthy German operating
a wool empire in Argentina.

- Lahusen is the central figure
in San Antonio Oeste.

This is a guy who could do
anything he wanted.

Hitler would have to have
somebody like a Lahusen.

- Lahusen had been
moving wool and people

from San Antonio Oeste
to Bariloche.

All of these dots
were absolutely,

unequivocally
supporting each other.

narrator: Gerrard prepares
to meet with a local expert

on the architecture
of Bariloche.

He has information
on a location

that may match the
declassified files' description

of an immense German estate
in the area,

a mysterious property
known as the Inalco House.

- Buenas tardes, what can you
tell me about the house?

narrator: For decades, local
rumors have swirled that Hitler

himself once took refuge
in this remote mansion.

The Inalco House
sits miles from civilization,

and would have only been
accessible by the lake

it is situated on.

450 acres of dense forest
on three sides,

and two islands just offshore

make it completely hidden
from public view.

- Is it possible
to get onto the land?

See the house?

- Okay.
- I don't know.

- Well,
I think we will go there.

I've been doing this story
for over ten years now.

A story like this, people
covering all over the place,

and it's actually quite hard
work trying to find out

what those secrets are,
and why there are secrets.

- We're gonna have
a look anyway.

- So this is the Inalco House.

narrator: Tim Kennedy, Gerrard
Williams and JP Cervantes,

a Green Beret and expert
on military operations

in Bariloche,

go over the intel
from the nearby Inalco House,

which could be
the immense German estate

the declassified files

place Hitler in months
after he was believed dead.

- The lot is bought in 1940
by Jorge Antonio,

who's the head
of Mercedes Benz in Argentina.

Funny enough,
also one of the top Nazis here.

The property itself is
finished in '45

and then it sort of goes quiet
for a decade.

- So 1945.

A super-rich German,

part of the Nazi party,
owns this property.

- Yup. We're not talking
about a small property,

we're talking a mansion
forty miles away from anywhere,

with a large farm behind it,

which makes them
pretty much self-sufficient.

- You know, Afghanistan
with Bin Laden,

one of the very unique things
about his mansion

was that it
was entirely self-sufficient

in regards to him
not needing ever to leave it.

This seems to replicate that.

If I'm going to hide
a high value target,

this is perfect.

So how do we get in here?

- That's the big question.

- This is not going to be easy

in terms of any legal access
to it at all.

- Green Berets, like, we go
into places behind enemy lines,

all the time.

It's all about having
to plan and executing that plan

without being detected.

All right, we can't get any
access from the road.

I think one of the clearest ways
to get there

is to go by the beach.
- Okay.

We do have to be aware that
if there is a caretaker there

we are in Argentina,

I know you guys
are used to guns around

but he may well be carrying
a weapon of some sort.

- Okay.
- So--

- So all I'm saying is

- We don't want to get the boat
way too close to the house.

How about we keep the boat
away from the beach,

but close enough
for you to make a swim there?

- All right, so,

we have island one,
which is a big island.

There is island two.

My recommendation is,
you on an island boat,

just fishermen cruising around.

Right? Fishing good spots
on the backside of this island.

Now line of sight
from the house, line of sight

is difficult to see
anything going through there.

I slip into the water,

and do a surface swim
and try to get some photos.

Slip out of the water,

take a camera
and get out of town.

I'm trying to understand

how feasible
it is for this house

to hide Hitler.

JP and I, we go
and assess locations to see

if it's suitable for a high
value target all the time.

I'm thinking
about security measures,

about a defense plan.

Any safe rooms,
places to hide in.

There's a lot of factors
that we have to investigate.

We have to get on here,
we can't be compromised.

[speaking Spanish]

narrator: With the help
of a hired fishing boat,

JP and Tim make their way
to a property the FBI files

suggest may have been a hideout
for Adolf Hitler.

- So the house should get
tucked away a little bit.

I saw something.

Can you turn around?

Right there.

- Over there?
- Yeah, over here.

Slow down a little bit.

Looks like a little guard shack.

You put a machine gun
right there,

you can cover this entire body
of water and nothing

can get through, right?

- The distance, the high ground,
that's perfect angle.

You can have grazing fire

and you can cover more terrain
from there.

- If we have someone like
Hitler hiding in this house,

you start looking at how you're
going to control the access

and monitor any traffic
that is on the lake.

And you want a guard
who'd give him early warning.

That guard post
is a perfect place to do it.

Let's go little bit
to the left here, to the island.

narrator: The team
heads between the islands

to shield them as they prepare
to infiltrate the property.

- We've got to see
if anybody is in there first,

and then we'll see
how far can we push the pocket.

- I'm watching, I got your back
all the way from the boat.

- Yeah.

Army Special Forces, our patch,

boasts our capability
on land, sea and air.

- Alright, we're 15 meters away,
Tim.

- Any way to get
to our objective area,

we can get there.

- Go.

- People have
this weird perception

of what being stealth
is all about.

What it's really about is being
the slowest thing out there.

JP covers check.

- Read you loud and clear.
- All set.

I'm going to move up
to this first building,

see if I can uh,

get a vantage point where I
can see the house without uh,

trying to give myself away.

- Roger.

Be careful.

We have to be very careful
on how we approach this.

You know, we're not in combat.

Rules of engagement are
completely different.

If we get shot at here,
we can't shoot back.

- We got eyes on the house.

- Roger that.

- It doesn't look like there's
any activity here at the house.

There's no smoke,
there's no lights on,

all the doors look buttoned up.

- Yeah, I don't see anything
from my side either.

I mean, It looks
like nobody's been here.

- Roger.

narrator: With no signs of
the caretaker of the property,

a single cameraman joins Tim on
the shore of the Inalco House.

[camera shutter clicks]

- The house, it's gigantic.

There is three chimneys here,

two doors,

about 15 to 17 windows.

To build something like this,
in the '40s,

you have to boat in
every single piece.

It's crazy.

These people were powerful,
rich, and they wanted privacy.

I'm on the lake side
of the house right now.

- I've got eyes on you.

- I'm going to try
to do a little bit more recon.

- Roger. I'll be standing by.

- You obviously got a dock here,
for boats

but can't even figure out
what this is.

This thing is crazy sturdy.

Yeah, these beams right here,

they're like raised up
and between them

we have a whole bunch
of super thick, I mean there's

like, four-inch thick boards.

JP, it's Tim.

I'm on like what seems
like a ramp for sea planes,

coming right up to the front
of this property.

This location
is completely secluded

but if you're isolated
like this,

you're going to come in by
boat. It's vulnerable.

Everything can see you,

but sea plane access
is different.

It's perfect
for a high value target.

You could hook a winch
up right there,

and pull the sea plane in.

And the construction
of this ramp, it's so solid.

- Stop, stop, stop.

I've got movement.
I've got somebody coming.

- I've got movement.

I've got somebody coming
out of the house.

He's walking towards you.

- Ah, [bleep].

narrator: While investigating
the Inalco House,

which declassified files
suggest

could have been a hiding place
for Adolf Hitler, Tim Kennedy

discovers the property
is not as vacant as it seems.

- Hey Tim, it seems like he
went back inside the house.

I don't see movement
so we should be good to go.

Uh, just hop in the water
and we'll come and get you.

narrator: Knowing the caretaker
may come back any minute,

Tim and the cameraman
withdraw from the beach.

- The reconnaissance
of the Inalco House

was partially successful.

We have a ton of photos,

but there is still
significant questions

about this house
that need to be answered.

- Go.

- Anybody that mans that guard
tower with a machine gun

can protect the entire point
of entry or exit.

narrator: John Cencich

and Bob Baer analyze the intel
collected by Tim Kennedy

on his reconnaissance mission
of the Inalco House.

- This is self-contained,

out in the middle of nowhere
and having sea planes come in,

tells me that they had visitors
that they didn't want seen.

There's no other explanation.

People who have guard towers
are heads of state,

or wanted criminals.

You simply do not need guard
towers

unless something else
is going on in the property.

narrator: Bob and John
have tracked

down architectural drawings
of the Inalco property.

- This is the house,
facing going in that direction

is the same as the front here.

- Yeah, it's facing the lake.

- Further back here,
probably a flower garden,

and then there's
another structure back here.

- Which looks like a house
to me.

Normally in places like this
if you have a guest house,

you put it off to the side
or if it's servants' quarters

you put it far away
from the house.

Why would you, on an absolutely
gorgeous lake like this,

take a structure
and put it behind another one?

- If it's directly
behind the principle residence,

it can't be seen from the lake
and if it can't be seen

from the lake
it can't be seen from anywhere.

- Yeah, I mean, it's
just a principle of a safe house

you do not want to see activity.

I think this house
is flashing red

and now on top
of it we have a hidden house.

What in God's name
is going on here?

We have to get in there

and figure out
what this house is about.

- Tim's already had a potential
confrontation with a caretaker.

That's our biggest concern.

- We cannot send a whole crew
in there.

We're just,
we're going to be caught.

- I think we need to send
in only one person

to minimize the risk.

- And that's Cervantes.

He's been down there,
he speaks Spanish.

Let's do this incrementally.

First thing we should do is send
in an initial reconnaissance.

- See if the caretaker

or if there is any other
security personnel in the area.

- Then fly a drone
over the place.

We have to absolutely see

what is in that rear house,
what it was for.

Let's see what they can find.

- [speaking Spanish]

narrator: JP Cervantes returns
to the Inalco House

to stake out the property
and plan his approach.

As I was observing today,
I was there for hours.

[speaking Spanish]

narrator: JP uses the state-
of-the-art surveillance drone

equipped
with a high-resolution camera

to investigate
the unknown structure

that the team identified
on the Inalco blueprints.

- This drone
is an amazing system.

We can see everything we want.

I'm more interested
in what's in the back,

where that other building
is supposed to be.

That is very interesting.

I am looking at the ground,

there is supposed to be a house
or a structure here.

Nothing out there.

That's a surprise.

Something strange here.

narrator: To investigate
the ground

where this unknown structure

was believed
to have been located,

JP uses the cover of the forest

to circle around to the back
of the property.

[camera shutter clicks]

- Hey, what do you make of
this, man?

Check it out.

This really caught my attention.

- I mean that
looks to me to be a vent.

narrator: Tim Kennedy

and Green Beret JP Cervantes
review the images

from their successful
reconnaissance mission

of the Inalco House,

the location
that declassified files

could place Hitler living
months after he believed dead.

- Where did you come
across this vent?

- Hold on, let me pull it up.
- That's the back.

There's supposed
to be a house right here.

- Yeah, I didn't see anything.

- This--that's like sunk,

is that maybe
a collapsed subterranean area?

I mean, any time
you have a principle,

you're always going to have
that safe room, right?

It's going to be defensive.
- Right.

- Putting a guy in a bunker
underneath the house like this,

he would be perfectly safe
and secure.

- Yeah.

- If there is ventilation
shafts,

there has to be
some hidden bunker there.

We have to go back and do
our due diligence to research

and investigate this location.

We have something we need to go
put ground proof on,

have to put our eyes on it,

need to figure out what is is.

narrator: Under the cover
of darkness Tim and JP return

to the Inalco House

to investigate the air vent
they suspect

could lead to a potential
subterranean bunker.

- Man I think
it's just a little bit here.

narrator: They use a low-
spectrum red light

to decrease their chances
of detection.

It registers at a tenth
of the intensity of white light

to the human eye at night.

- Let me take point.
- Okay.

- Somewhere over here,
keep your eyes open to the left.

Here we go, right here.

See it? Right there.

Let me go ahead
and get the snake out.

narrator: This microfiber
optic camera

is less than an inch
in diameter

and equipped
with a 100 foot cable

allowing them to look through
the grates of the air vent

to uncover what may lie
in the darkness deep below.

- It's like a small camera
at the end of a lens

that has uh,
its own light source.

You can bend it to get it up
into crevices, nooks, crannies,

under doors,
in this case down what we think

is a ventilation pipe.

- We are connected.

I'm in.

There we go, now.

You getting that?
- Yeah. I see it.

- You see that?
- Yeah.

It looks like there's a piece
of metal, support to run across.

You know, maybe a rebar.

This is solid rebar.

Why the hell do you have
three quarter inch-thick rebar

out in the middle of nowhere?

- This absolutely is
some significant structure.

Maybe even a subterranean
hidden bunker.

- It looks like it's been
either collapsed or destroyed.

Whoever lived there, they're
trying to cover their tracks.

narrator: Next time on
"Hunting Hitler"...

- She had some serious money.

- A lot of money.

And most importantly--

- She was a Nazi.

- Can she remember how long
Hitler stayed in La Falda?

- Between nine and ten days
after the second world war.

- It's confirmation that Hitler
didn't die in the bunker

in 1945.

- Are you aware of anything
planned into the hotel

to protect important people?

- If we find evidence
that there were tunnels here,

Hitler really could have
operated out of this hotel.

[speaking Spanish]

- 1947 comes along
and all of a sudden, [snaps]

Hitler is back on the radar.
- I have nothing.

- I have something right here.

Turning a page
and seeing the exact words

that are in the FBI file, takes
your breath away for a second.

- Yeah, its definitely it.
He was here.
