Adolf Hitler, the authors say, did not commit suicide, but “fled Germany and spent the rest of his life in Argentina; his deputy for the party, Reichsleiter Martin Bormann, and Heinrich "Gestapo" - Müller, a key figure in the development of the plan for the "final solution of the Jewish question", also escaped punishment and joined him in Argentina.

An equally egregious fact: Americaand Britanniacontributed to the escape of hundreds of former Nazis such as rocket scientist Wernher von Braun and the sadist SS Klaus Barbier, known as the Butcher of Lyons. In the post-war years, they both worked for government services. USA, the rest were simply allowed to avoid prosecution and settle in different remote corners of the planet …"

Dunsten and Williams are not the first to question the official version, however, unlike many works, their work is based on a huge amount of documents and research, and analytics is characterized by a high level of deductive skill.

There is no unequivocal legal evidence that Hitler and Eva Braun committed suicide. DNA examination of a fragment of "Hitler's skull" showed that in reality it belonged to a woman of 30-40 years old; it is proved that "the corpse of Eva Braun" has nothing to do with Eva Braun.

Yes, and it would be strange Hitlerto commit suicide, given that, at least since the summer of 1943, the Reich was undergoing large-scale and systematic preparations for the evacuation from Germany of the leadership of the party, state and SS, gold, art objects, archives and the most advanced technology.

Since 1943 Bormannbegan to create outside the Reich hundreds of corporations, in which Nazi money was invested, mainly "party gold". “This task was carried out as part of an operation codenamed Aktion Adlerfl ug - "Flight of the eagle" … It was supposed to open numerous accounts in foreign banks and the creation of investment funds in foreign companies, control over which was exercised in the interests of Germany. For example, in 1943-1945 over two hundredGerman firms have registered their branches in Argentina.

Monetary and other assets, such as patents for inventions, were transferred through shell companies in Switzerland, Spain and Portugal to Argentine branches of German banks such as Banco Aleman Transatlantico.

The funds were then channeled to German companies operating in Argentina, such as the automobile manufacturer Mercedes Benz, the first Mercedes plant built outside Germany. Headquarters inflated production costs for their overseas subsidiaries for products manufactured in Argentina; the real cost of the Mercedes truck could be 5 thousand dollars, but Mercedes Benz Argentina had to pay the German parent company 6 thousand dollars for components.

The amounts obtained from the difference between the real price and the price of the transfer were secretly deposited in Argentine banks, and they could be withdrawn after the war, without fear of suspicion from the Argentine authorities and even more so from the Western allies.

The same companies became a source of employment for hiding Nazi war criminals after 1945. For instance, Adolf Eichmann worked at the Mercedes Benz factory in the town of Gonzalez Catan on the outskirts of Buenos Aires under the name of Ricardo Clement from 1959 to May 11, 1960, until he was kidnapped by Israeli intelligence agents MOSSAD.

Another important aspect of the operation "Flight of the eagle" was the acquisition of blocks of shares or stakes in the capital of foreign companies, especially in North America. To solve this problem, Bormann turned to the once largest player in such games - the concern IG farben.

Since its founding in 1926, IG Farben has acquired many American companies and they have become part of this worldwide cartel. By the time Germany declared war on the United States - shortly after the attack on Pearl Harbor - IG Farben held a controlling interest in 170 American companies and was a minority shareholder back in 108 companies.

Bormann turned to its president for advice Herman Schmitz and to the former Reich Minister of Economics Dr. Yalmaru Schachtu … Together, they could coordinate the movement of Nazi funds through Swiss banks, the Bank for International Settlements, or through third parties and companies. For example, brothers Jacob and Markus Wallenbergs from Sweden acquired American Bosch Corporation, a subsidiary of Stuttgart-based Robert Bosch GmbH, through their Stockholms Enskilda Bank (SEB).

By the beginning of 1945, Bormann had completed preparations for the evacuation of the leadership of the Third Reich. According to the authors, the flight of the Fuhrer is surprisingly well documented, thanks to which they managed to paint a rather convincing picture of Hitler's departure from Berlin and his subsequent life (according to their version) in Argentina.

On Friday, April 27, 1945, Bormann, out of several options for leaving, decided to use the underground passage (450 m) to the metro tunnels, tunnels, and then the plane. But first, those who were preparing to flee had to "die", or rather, they had to die doubles … Hitler had no problems with doubles - he had them already 12 (Most likely, Gustav Weber was killed, who began to replace the Fuhrer after the assassination attempt on July 20, 1944).

For Eva Braun, a young actress from Goebbels' harem was also found as a double; they even found a twin dog for the Fuhrer's pet Shepherd Blondie, with whom he did not want to part. At midnight on April 28, the fugitives hit the road, and at midnight on April 29, a farce was played with "the suicide of Hitler and Eve."

The group entered the system of metro tunnels near the station "Kaiserhof" (now - "Morenstrasse"), leaving the building of the station "Ferbelliner Platz", the fugitives got into three tanks "Tiger-II" and two half-tracked SdK3 251 armored personnel carriers, which took them to a kilometer-long runway at Hohenzollerndamm. The Ju-52 aircraft, which was flown by an experienced pilot SS Hauptsturmführer Peter Erich Baumgart, landed in Travemunde, from where the fugitives, having transferred to the Ju-252, flew to Spain at the Moron military airfield. "Hitler's transfer from the German Junkers Ju-252 to the Junkers Ju-52 with side signs Ejercito del Aire - Spanish Air Force - at the Spanish base in Reuse April 29 was carried out quickly and in secrecy."
