1:10minds in the world he's dedicated his
1:13career to cracking some of the greatest
1:14enigmas and distract their own fugitives
1:17like Sarah missing most people know me
1:19from the movie syriana the role George
1:21Clooney played was based on my life he
1:24walk into the CIA and is a quote know
1:27the truth and it will set you free my
1:30boss has always said you're the only one
1:31in this building who believes that
1:33narrative the government gives us is a
1:36lie you can't tell people the truth
1:38because it scares them if they get
1:40scared they can't sleep at night is
1:42against sleep at night they get up in
1:44the morning and they vote you out often
1:45all the stories have been told about
1:47Hitler's bunker there's nothing to back
1:49it up it's the biggest mystery of the
1:5120th century
1:54on the 30th of april nineteen forty-five
1:56with Soviet troops closing in on Berlin
1:59Hitler and his wife favor Brown were
2:02reported to have committed suicide in
2:04his bunker on the second of May Soviet
2:07troops searched Hitler's bunker
2:09contaminating the crime scene and
2:11shipping his supposed remains to Moscow
2:13the Russians were in the fall looting
2:16mode they completely botched the
2:18investigation we have no primary
2:20witnesses we have no forensics on the
2:23seventeenth of July 1945 at the Potsdam
2:26Conference Stalin reportedly told other
2:29world leaders that he believed Hitler
2:31may have escaped these are very serious
2:34man who are very careful about what they
2:37say in 2009 a team of American
2:40scientists were given access to the
2:42remains the Soviets claimed with
2:44Hitler's but DNA analysis revealed they
2:47actually belong to a female the
2:49forensics we do have make it look as if
2:52Hitler got away so you've got money and
2:55you know what you're doing you can
2:56disappear in 1945 people wanted the war
3:01over and nobody wanted to dig into what
3:03actually happened to Hitler
3:07in 2014 the FBI Declassified the files
3:11regarding Hitler's death and open the
3:14door to what could be the biggest
3:15cover-up in history in these files there
3:19are thousands of leads this is report
3:23after report after report armed with 700
3:29pages of newly declassified documents
3:30and the most cutting-edge technology Bob
3:34put together a team of some of the most
3:35respected experts in the world
3:37international investigators Nazi hunters
3:41forensic scientists investigative
3:44journalist military intelligence and
3:46premier war crimes investigator dr. John
3:50centage where I was appointed by the
3:52United Nations to work the world mult
3:55anus crime involving some of the world's
3:57worst criminals the truth is going to
3:59come forward from my perspective it's
4:01going to be objective and that's what I
4:03want to do we are not to make our
4:05conclusions in advance if you can
4:07provide me the evidence he died in that
4:09bunker I'll be as happy as if you got
4:11away I just want to do the definitive
4:14investigation of Hitler and for once and
4:16all settle a stem thing
4:31the way that other photograph the one
4:34that Soviets took using the declassified
4:36documents containing thousands of
4:38potential new clues Bob utilizes a
4:41powerful military tool to identify a
4:43starting point phase investigation this
4:46software will scan the documents for
4:48recorded sightings of Hitler at the
4:49reports of his death to see if there are
4:52consistencies of activity on a map it's
4:54a needle in the haystack but it's a lot
4:56smaller haystack when you got software
4:58like this I'm going to set it for all
5:02locations where he was cited between
5:04April twenty-fifth nineteen forty-five
5:06and July twenty-fifth nineteen
5:08forty-five the first hundred days and
5:10those are the most important day I know
5:12from experience tracking terrorists
5:14those first hundred days were the times
5:16he was on the move that's when he was
5:19most exposed that's when you're going to
5:20have witnesses to his flight
5:25look at Berlin look at Spain explains
5:30interesting yeah but look at Argentina I
5:33mean just exploding you look at that
5:36pattern clearly Argentina where we have
5:38to start problem is argentineans big
5:42country we need something more specific
5:44hundreds of FBI documents place Hitler
5:47in Argentina but they need to find
5:49consistencies if they're going to give
5:51the sightings any credibility the letter
5:53to mr j edgar Hoover yeah that really
5:56piques my interest here it says he's
5:58living in a great underground
6:00establishment look at this look at
6:01here's a second FBI document different
6:04sourcing look at this August eleventh
6:071945 Hitler is in Argentina he is living
6:10in a great underground establishment
6:12with hundreds of Nazis 675 miles west of
6:16florianópolis 450 miles north-northwest
6:19from Buenos Aires if it's one report
6:22yeah so what but when you got to it's
6:26something
6:27Bob cross-references the two coordinates
6:30mentioned in the FBI files and the
6:32computer identifies a GPS location in
6:35the middle of rural Argentina the
6:38closest community is Tarata Joan would
6:43we know about erotic it's in the middle
6:45of nowhere having look at first the
6:47language is spoken English Spanish and
6:51German it's a long way from home you
6:56have to see if in fact there was a
6:57German community out there which will
6:59start to give substance to this FBI
7:02report if we get out there and it's just
7:05a bunch of Argentine farmers who don't
7:07even know where Germany is never heard
7:09of it then we got a problem the first
7:11phase of this investigation is the
7:13pressure test the FBI files only once do
7:15you get on the ground can you actually
7:17start to corroborate information there's
7:21usually some piece of it that's true in
7:23other pieces that are not now time to
7:25put boots on the ground toronto's our
7:28place
7:28[Music]
7:33bob has assembled a team of
7:35international experts in Argentina to
7:37tackle the first part of the
7:39investigation Tim Kennedy special forces
7:42spent a career in the military tracking
7:45high-value target Iraq Afghanistan
7:48cartel he knows what he's doing I have
7:51hunted high-value targets like bin Laden
7:54for 15 years there's nobody on the
7:57planet x to do this better I have access
7:59to new technology that is enabling us to
8:02look at from that 70 years old and
8:04breathe new life into it Gerrard
8:09Williams investigative reporter great
8:11reputation BBC Reuters dedicated a
8:15decade studying Nazis in South America
8:17he's the kind of guy I need to sift the
8:20evidence to tell me whether we're on
8:22firm ground or not I was in Argentina on
8:25a story I came across this idea that I
8:27don't separate escaped to Argentina on a
8:28submarine about a year into it I
8:31realized there was so much about the
8:32official history that was just plain
8:34wrong my father was combat veteran six
8:38years he fought the Nazis he was wounded
8:40three times that generation will slide
8:42to this story needs telling
8:49finally Steve Rambam Nazi hunter he's
8:53tracked more than 170 of these guys in
8:56remote tight-knit communities all around
8:59the world if you hang work for a little
9:01this is your last chance won't be the
9:06first time with a 500th time that I've
9:08gone into a hostile environment to get
9:10these guys I'm not intimidated they're a
9:13lot more afraid of me than I was of them
9:16once in terrassa the team concentrate on
9:19tracking down individuals that could
9:21have provided a support network for
9:23Hitler in this area we're trying to find
9:26information out about German people you
9:30can point Hitler in a bunker you can put
9:32in the farm you can put them in a
9:33hayloft what matters is having known
9:36associates that can support his
9:38movements and protect him we're very
9:40effective in doing that in catching bin
9:42Laden we're able to track his informants
9:44and his couriers and how he's getting
9:46information out and doing information in
9:53the team receives a crucial lead the
9:56name of Toronto's oldest living german
9:59resident a man who may have witnessed
10:01nasty activity in the area seventy years
10:04ago
10:06Oh
10:15when you are looking at not just a cold
10:18case but a frozen case evidence is gone
10:21people are dead have access to this
10:24living eyewitness almost 70 years later
10:28that's huge we would like to ask him
10:32some questions about the history in our
10:35German community here generally story

11:12question I want to push a little bit
11:14here was he part of the Hitler Youth era
11:16parte de la who n to the Hitler
11:31I never even imagined that I would come
11:34and talk to people about something that
11:36occurred 70 years ago and I would see
11:38anxiety reservation fear but that's how
11:41it is look can't force him to tell us
11:44okay we're done we know yes there were
11:49Nazi sympathizers here thank you very
11:51much with this gotcha yes there were
11:53Nazi activities at the school is their
11:55ability in the area to build a
11:58significant underground facility we're
12:02about to find out
12:09this case is 70 years old it's the
12:12biggest mystery of the 20th century with
12:14the release of 700 pages of declassified
12:16FBI files CIA veteran bob baer and war
12:20crimes investigator john cencich have
12:23reopened the case into the death of
12:26adolf hitler there is no decent
12:28forensics all the witnesses are done
12:30there's no fingerprints in the forensics
12:32we do have make it look as if Hitler got
12:35away that someone from Hitler's family
12:38came forward and tried to cash in on an
12:39insurance policy no life insurance
12:42company in the world would have paid up
12:43the investigation has begun in Argentina
12:46where to FBI files place Hitler in a
12:49bunker near a rural farm town three and
12:52a half months after is alleged death
12:54look at this look as hitler is in
12:56argentina he is living in a great
12:58underground establishment toronto's our
13:01place
13:05you
13:07[Music]
13:09Bob's team of investigators are looking
13:11into a German school in the same area
13:14indicated in the FBI documents
13:18this is the older part of town this is
13:23the school yes
13:24[Music]
13:33took this place to make school stealing
13:37change the eight-foot wall that's led to
13:40figure out if it's to keep people in or
13:42out you build things particular ways and
13:47you build them in particular places for
13:49very specific reasons and i immediately
13:51recognize that the similarities between
13:53this school and military bases are very
13:57very very close a playground you could
14:01probably have 100 people goose-stepping
14:03across this law yeah boys aged 14 to 18
14:08trained to be Nazi soldiers
14:11they swore absolute and fanatical
14:14loyalty to the Fuehrer before being
14:16shipped off to fight
14:18this area was just part of a worldwide
14:21Hitler Youth army made up of over eight
14:23million boys from 52 different countries
14:26get a hold of these kids young they
14:28start indoctrinating them into the idea
14:31of how wonderful it is to be a Nazi and
14:34it's something that's going on even to
14:36today as Isis is doing the exact same
14:37thing everyone here would have been
14:39honored tab Hitler come here and given
14:41their life to protect his hiding this
14:45huge compound allows opening Dolph very
14:50much larger time national sin look with

15:06the Nazis came to power there was a big
15:08influx of Germans after the first world
15:09war with the rise of the Nazi Party in
15:11the nineteen thirties it could be proud
15:13of being German again and if you wanted
15:15to do well in your community you became
15:17an ugly these people have sworn to die
15:19before they did anything that would
15:21damage the Fuehrer well yeah what Olivia

16:24German community tracking or
16:28communication with others and embassy
16:33at the height of the Third Reich 60,000
16:37Nazis lived in Argentina creating a
16:39network of interconnected communities
16:41throughout South America some of these
16:44communities could have become sleeper
16:46cells acting as a launch pad for an
16:48invasion of the Americas be very easy to
16:52take Hitler put them into this network
16:54the spiderweb a bunch of different
16:56communities and he's gone that's how
16:58someone's been on was able to disappear
17:02[Music]
17:04the team worked their way through the
17:07rest of the school searching for clues
17:09that could link this location to an
17:11underground bunker in the area okay
17:13let's look at the book this is all
17:16entirely in German see if you find
17:18anything that looks like mine come
17:21Elizabeth who was Carlos book or those
17:25initials aren't a whole bunch of books

17:52okay he write about all that stuff Nate
17:56mentioned in his book para la familia de
17:59Vanna pudiera janka via arma a via
18:02standart a severe fear there is a FBI
18:06memo that there was an underground
18:08bunker here now this guy who is a
18:11historian pretty darn credible one who
18:14literally wrote the book on Germans in
18:16this town tells us the exact same thing
18:18all of a sudden this is possibly not a
18:21wild goose chase and he can get us
18:24direction during a high- form of benefit
18:27in Dakar comb my hair at us
18:35we'll keep it confidential we'll just
18:38we'll just show up there and I'm a
18:40tenant elephant tell him I've been a
18:42detective for 30 years I've kept the
18:44biggest secrets in this 75 years later
18:47people in this town was still afraid
18:50give up information about the Germans
18:52this guy who wrote the book on the
18:55German community seems like a pretty
18:57tough guy not a guy who's going to be
18:59pushed around even he wants to go
19:02outside and tell me privately in a very
19:05low voice where this farm is and who
19:08owns the house where's the house for the
19:11beginning of an investigation and we're
19:13off to a running start look at this
19:20lettuce Hitler is in Argentina he is
19:21living in a great underground
19:23establishment recently declassified FBI
19:26documents that reference Argentina and
19:29place a dog Hitler in a remote area of
19:31leaded seam of investigators to look
19:33into local reports of a nearby bunker
19:37this is a report that there was a
19:39farmhouse that was west of terada used
19:42by nazi supporters we have an FBI
19:45document that says the same thing that's
19:47not a coincidence
19:49while Gerard comes through the archives
19:52for any reports of Nazis operating in
19:54terrassa Tim Steve and their translator
19:57head deep into the countryside in search
19:59of the underground bunker this would
20:12have been way out of hell
20:15entire career has been driven by this
20:18idea of mission first mission first
20:20mission first you know it doesn't matter
20:22what the obstacles are you're still
20:23going to complete your mission in your
20:24struggle admission first and or trying
20:26to investigate one of the most important
20:28historical occurrences that's ever
20:31happened and we have an opportunity to
20:33maybe find some truth to that and that's
20:35my mission
20:36[Music]
20:39yes
20:41I
20:50you know you hear the expression in the
20:52middle of nowhere this is in the middle
20:53of nowhere if you're looking for a
20:55clandestine activity for the Nazis in
20:58this area man this is the perfect
20:59location
21:03your nearest neighbor is 510 miles away
21:07I mean they could have had artillery
21:09practice there and nobody would have
21:10known when I started on Monday rock with
21:16tolstärn a below when I did the Nazi war
21:20crimes investigations in Canada one
21:22thing I learned is that each witness
21:24requires special handling even how you
21:27say hello sometimes affect whether the
21:32person talks to you or not own a very
21:35interesting thing for profit you can
21:37tell them the story that we heard was
21:39that there was a room or a basement that
21:42had been closed and when they found it
21:44and opened it there were all of these
21:47you know items in there rocamadour
21:50anyway know that there's a basement here
21:52either nothing they didn't find anything
21:56then establishing Ankara no they don't
21:59know anything about that look here she's
22:01got both the property in 1952 registered
22:04from yeah I so Miss Kennedy he was
22:11educated only watch as good a llamar

22:20store out in the middle of nowhere
22:21there's miles and miles miles from town
22:23and you're going to set up shop and
22:24start someone from there makes zero
22:26sense we're researching German activity
22:28was there German a German community in
22:32this area know when you want to give
22:36credibility to an informant you ask
22:38questions at you know the answer to we
22:39know in the mid 20th century the vast
22:41majority of inhabitants in this area
22:44more German in this area there was no
22:46big number of Germans know
22:50he doesn't know anything about them 70
22:53years after the end of the war and these
22:56people today are terrified to tell us
22:59anything absolutely a wall of silence
23:02but I know how to get witnesses to talk
23:05to me so tell him that this is probably
23:08not the place we're looking for they had
23:10the house when they had the store did
23:12they always know about the basement it's
23:14not a very important they kept all the
23:16drinks specially the beer because they
23:19were so hot here in the basement was
23:21fresh school you're a merciful he can
23:25show you show us the basement if you
23:27wanted this please United States you
23:31will call root cellars it's a little
23:32tiny basement dug into the floor where
23:34you can store Goods that you want to
23:36keep for a little bit longer but local
23:38Intel is telling us that this particular
23:40one is different
23:42[Music]
23:43that's the seller check this out very
23:47interesting look at the is it possible
23:53is it possible to look inside
23:56[Music]
24:05[Music]
24:09this is very unusual in this part of
24:11Argentina Rex yeah okay we pull the
24:16boards off it's these stairs that are
24:19carved you can't see the bottom
24:25[Music]
24:35you know what this is terrifically well
24:37constructed look at the walls this is
24:40not kak dirt this is actual you know
24:44man-made walls last notation of a root
24:48cellar underneath the farm was going to
24:50be you know some shoddy mud pipe support
24:54with maybe some wood beam in a dirt
24:56floor couldn't have been further from
24:59the truth the construction was very very
25:02well made walls with reckon cement and
25:05gigantic dick overhead beams with tile
25:09on top of it wait a second check this
25:13out holy folded as a version of skip the
25:20bunkers that I've seen when we were in
25:22Baghdad Iraq have subterranean features
25:25that looks very similar to this site
25:27there's actually well designed for
25:30ventilation you always have to have two
25:33of them you have to create a draft
25:34that's what this side is right here very
25:37suspicious storage cellars were common
25:41in South America during the 1940s but
25:44this underground room has been
25:45reinforced with concrete and contains a
25:48complex ventilation system there are two
25:51separate air shafts which allow for the
25:53circulation of clean oxygen-rich air in
25:55through one end and dirty oxygen
25:58deficient their absolute the other this
26:00engineering could potentially allow
26:02people to live underground for months at
26:04a time innovations in underground
26:07construction flourished during the Third
26:08Reich the Nazis perfected the use of
26:11reinforced concrete and completed
26:13hundreds of underground bunker projects
26:15throughout occupied Europe
26:17I'm going to tell you this is a hell of
26:19a little room here the FBI files they
26:23clearly say a large underground bunker
26:24in meeting place for hundreds of
26:27high-ranking Nazi officials in the area
26:29so is this the bunker from the files
26:32probably not but could it be part of a
26:35larger network of moving German war
26:38fugitives in and out of trata absolutely
26:44back in town Stevens him meet up with
26:47Gerard he was uncovered a huge clue I've
26:52been thinking as well sound what can
26:54only be described as a biblical listing
26:56of important asset in Argentina this is
26:59from the military attache American US
27:01military attache a it's come straight
27:03out of the German embassy trial the
27:05following list represents those quotes a
27:06good Nazis in the provinces will always
27:09be depended on to contribute to various
27:11amounts of funds and to spread Nazi
27:13propaganda we have here one of the most
27:16important Nazis in chico province the
27:19man from the school Carlos but there's a
27:22u.s. army military intelligence document
27:25that tells us Carlos buck also known as
27:28carlebach german national very involved
27:32with the German school is a known Nazi
27:35agent ensure our Argentina
27:39call a stock owned property in the
27:43Greater Toronto Area and specifically
27:45downtown there could have been a
27:48basement or an underground area beneath
27:50Carlos bucks property okay the first
27:54things you have to look at what support
27:56structures in place that could enable
27:58somebody and facilitate them to run mine
28:00we're very effective in doing that in
28:02catching bin Laden Hitler could have
28:04been enabled here by Carlos buck I have
28:07a buddy that i was in the army with
28:08who's in military intelligence while he
28:10was in the service and now he works for
28:12a company that does ground-penetrating
28:14radar this thing can penetrate the
28:16ground up to 30 feet even it's hidden
28:18underground I even bodies I mean this
28:21really is the center the local German
28:24activity we got to go visit this place
28:26on your bunker let's go take a look
28:29[Music]
28:35recently declassified FBI files appear
28:38to have placed Hitler at a bunker in
28:40rural Argentina pleasure sir there is
28:43everybody on the Hitler salute in front
28:45of the school so the investigation team
28:47have narrowed efforts towards prominent
28:49local nathi Carlos buck they believe his
28:53property could have housed the bunker
28:55mentioned in the FBI files at the old
28:57house this is a potentially critical
29:00piece of evidence if there is in fact a
29:03bunker on this property a concealed room
29:06that was used by Adolf Hitler it's a big
29:12deal Wow yeah well I got a holy Sims old
29:15comrade from Iraq David Kelly arrives
29:18with his state-of-the-art
29:19ground-penetrating technology anything
29:22you look at for we're gonna build a fine
29:23there it is our song time but before
29:26they can investigate they need to obtain
29:28permission from the current owner
29:30come on get your ass in the vehicle all
29:33right get in this is the first time in
29:36this investigation that may be within
29:38reach of actual testable evidence but I
29:42can tell you that one slip that's it
29:44we're done here all right Leo need to
29:53say when I say in the same tone and need
29:56to generate the impression that I'm a
29:59serious guy done this a thousand times
30:02in A Thousand place okay just i trashed
30:05it opaque
30:09they just used me
30:21family night I'm asking you for your
30:25help she has a very important question
30:28of history no pero es la xu de una
30:31cuestión muy importante de historia
30:33puesto caso que encuentren algo que
30:35haces with you Bob Fontana
30:40the classic okay we'll just watch it
30:46with permission from the owner of the
30:48property the team had to the huge plot
30:50it was once owned by local Murphy
30:52callisburg
30:55[Music]
30:58start rocking it yeah break them up baby
31:06find me something then if it's there
31:08I'll find it we're digging into a
31:11seven-year-old cold case using something
31:13that moves around like a lawnmower it's
31:16really calm but ground-penetrating radar
31:18is a remarkable tool every step that you
31:21take you get a snapshot oh it's
31:22underneath your feet it can see through
31:242030 feet of dirt and rock to see what's
31:27underneath it this ground-penetrating
31:31technology is so powerful that it's
31:33trusted by the American military to
31:35locate hidden explosives in life and
31:37death situations the state of the art
31:40equipment sends pulses of energy into
31:42the ground measures the time it takes
31:45for that signal to return to the surface
31:46and creates an image of what lies
31:48beneath nothing really in this area over
31:51here just really consistent really
31:57mellow nothing happening no boy no and
32:01no Boyle
32:02our keep scanning through
32:18cool effect uh Tim starting to get some
32:24busy matter going on here so slowly
32:26servants this is where we have our most
32:28disturbance but the problem is I can't
32:30go through the stockpile or get around
32:31it it's possible there's something here
32:33and right as you're coming up to it it's
32:35kind of yeah if I could push it just a
32:38little bit further because we see more
32:39get a better understanding what's going
32:41on below the surface find me longer I'm
32:45actually finding areas of interest about
32:47the cinder block here you can see data
32:50and yeah great we're surveying the
32:56property and we find one little blip
32:59that looks like the beginning of an
33:02entrance and one foot later our five
33:06tons of bricks just sitting there
33:08covering whatever that little anomaly is
33:12the edge of and we can't get to ok the
33:16best approach for this is actually
33:18rolling right over top of it is that an
33:20option you know it's not an
33:21off-the-shelf application or option but
33:23I think at this point we worked so hard
33:25to get in here we should give anything a
33:27shot in my long military experience you
33:31can have the best plan in the world and
33:32once the first gunfire goes off changed
33:34everything and your ability to adapt it
33:36is super important that's no different
33:37here we came to a roadblock but
33:41ultimately we have to be able to be
33:42flexible and execute regardless we try
33:45something David Kelly adjusts the
33:49settings on the ground penetrating radar
33:51now the device can look beyond the
33:53interference of the cement blocks and
33:55penetrate the ground beneath them
34:00and I'm starting to pick up activity
34:02sorry for ya and there's definitely an
34:06area of interest down here in any
34:08investigation there are very few moments
34:13that I know I'm going to be definitive
34:15this is going to be one of them this was
34:19kind of freaking me up so well as
34:23Germans are here after further
34:25investigating the property with the
34:27radar I think we're done hopefully we
34:31will find something Tim Kennedy uploads
34:33the data to Bob and German who were back
34:36at base camp in LA for my experience
34:39using GPR and a number of different
34:41types of Criminal Investigations when
34:42you look here you see certain anomalies
34:44you can see that the depth of here is
34:46different what is that what did they
34:47tell you that depth here tells me to
34:49something here is buried a 8 to 10 feet
34:52below the surface of the ground
34:54something has happened with the soil
34:56it's disturbed soil was it a place this
35:00underground facility could have been
35:02located yes if this were a Hollywood
35:05movie we would dig up a bunker and we
35:08define a top Hill array but it's not a
35:11movie this is a real investigation we
35:14did find a structure 8 to 10 feet
35:16underground it very well could be the
35:18bunker it's noted in the FBI file but
35:21this is private property or just not
35:24going to get permission to dig there we
35:26know for a fact that we have enough
35:29evidence enough information to move this
35:31investigation forward there are things
35:34that existed in Toronto that were also
35:36important we had a Nazi community there
35:39and there was a smaller underground
35:41facility so really there was a network
35:43there which corroborates the information
35:45that was provided to the FBI in 1945 we
35:50need to look at something else to help
35:51justify the next steps in this case and
35:54really where we're going it may have
35:55been entirely possible that Hitler was
35:57in Toronto and then got up and moved to
35:59several months later right you cannot
36:01set up in one place indefinitely because
36:04eventually news will get out of your
36:07presence you look at the sum of bin
36:09laden in abbottabad he was there too
36:12long now
36:13he had moved around it would have made
36:15it virtually impossible for the Central
36:18Intelligence Agency to catch him that's
36:20what we have to consider here they're
36:22gonna have to get to another German
36:23community another Nazi supported yeah
36:26I'm aware but where would you go at that
36:29point and is there any other leads we
36:31have yeah well wait a minute I mean let
36:33me check on something here to help
36:36further the investigation John turns to
36:39the 700 pages of Declassified FBI files
36:41all right the Nazis in Misiones are
36:45reported to control a system of roadways
36:47known only to them so this is exactly
36:49what I'm talking about Sharada Misiones
36:53did they have a underground network that
36:55they could move people along this
36:57reports of clandestine travel routes
36:59that connector on Sesame seoni reveal a
37:02new potential location for their
37:04fugitive adult Hitler seven hours that's
37:07nothing 600 kilometers that's not that
37:09far at all probably a dirt road on
37:11police Hitler out of uniform his hair
37:17change wearing glasses would go
37:19unrecognized down a road like this
37:23it's been in the news very recently on
37:25misiones that there are archaeologists
37:28that have found a numerous artifacts
37:30related to Nazis Ethan Argentina's
37:33northern jungle researchers have found
37:35items dating back to German Marcus Allen
37:37an ammonia for Celine Dion garlic and
37:39Midian Germany in a lonely lush
37:41vegetation the ruins of a house like
37:43structure may have been at one time and
37:45not be safe haven they found german
37:48pottery they found structures and other
37:51artifacts there are anomalous they
37:53shouldn't be there why are why are they
37:55in the middle of this jungle right now
37:56there's an archaeological dig Misiones
37:59unearthing not see artifacts they're
38:02digging up evidence was not available in
38:051945 was it possible Hitler could have
38:09gone there this is the place where we
38:10should be sending the team God doing
38:12that let's do it
38:26how does somebody live out here there
38:30could have been an octave here we know
38:31that that means that there is a chance
38:34it look could have come here this
38:36investigation it's red hot right now it
38:39could be completely blown open coming up
38:44on hunting Hitler
38:47that's Waka in order to get at the truth
38:50you've got to hit the ground holy crap
38:53hey oh oh oh oh oh we have to run this
38:56evidence down we are the ones that are
38:57finally going to do it because no one
38:59has not much air in here guys we're
39:01going to look for submarines or we're
39:03going to look for airplanes holy crap it
39:05might be the frame of the fuselage
39:07there's going to be no easy answers you
39:11got to talk to the right people Hitler
39:13was here get that so and you have to ask
39:15the right question is he telling me that
39:17was an Enigma machine that's his
39:18grandfather's place it's the only way
39:20you can get to the answer we came
39:22looking for the footprints metals
39:24Hitler's from Spain and I think we found
39:26them Hitler had a whole city to himself
39:28down here and nobody knew about it
39:30Hitler could have escaped Germany well
39:32right now I feel like I'm right behind
39:33them once you actually get into the
39:35grass and you start looking at the
39:37evidence all right I mean stop right
39:39there George what that things are always
39:41more complicated guys let's get the hell
39:43out of here and the more blowback you
39:45get the closer you are the truth okay
39:47okay buy it well there we go we've got
39:51something man-made this should be q boat
39:53we're going to walk away from this what
39:56the hell is that with answers we've
39:58never had before Last Supper this is the
40:01end of the story stop nothing find out
40:04what really happened to Hitler period I
40:06think we got it
40:08you
40:10[Music]
