Hitler’s Great Escape Committee

​

It was reputedly formed in the early 1940s, after Martin Bormann had been promoted to Nazi Party Leader and the Führer’s devoted right-hand man. The committee, aside from Hitler, included only trusted members, such as Martin Bormann, Dr Joseph Goebbels, and Lt Colonel Stumpfegger from the SS. It notably excluded Hermann Goering, Heinrich Himmler, Field Marshal Wilhelm Keitel, and Doctor Morell. Ultimately, Joseph Goebbels and his wife Magda, along with Goering and Himmler, committed suicide. It was established that the committee needed to maintain total secrecy and exercise firm control over everyone’s movements within the Berlin Führerbunker to avoid a catastrophic mass exodus.  

​

After Hitler and Braun’s alleged great escape, Bormann and Stumpfegger fled the Führerbunker, only to be shot by Russian troops near the Berlin railway station. Their remains were discovered years later at a construction site and identified through their DNA. In contrast, Field Marshal Keitel was executed in 1946 for his well-documented war crimes.

 

Hitler’s and Braun’s Escape Timeline

​

(1) In the 1930s, Adolf Hitler had contemplated waging war, but he had also considered defeat, which required an adroit escape strategy. Consequently, two U-boats were designated for his personal operations.

 

(2) Deliberate layers of confusion were covertly created by Martin Bormann in 1944 and 1945. Placing Goebells's family as near neighbours to Hitler and Braun in the Führerbunker.  It was a ploy to maintain rigid discipline and control. It exhibited his complete dominance over Hitler’s and Braun’s doppelgangers (doubles.)

 

(3) Flying in Hitler’s personal Condor aircraft to Kristiansand submarine pens in German-occupied Norway in early May 1945, it was designed to deaden Allied awareness and avoid detection. It also provided an uncomplicated and quick submarine exit for the long sea journey to Argentina.

​

(4) In 1945, renowned Argentinian architect Alejandro Bustillo confirmed that he had designed and built a house for Hitler and Eva Braun in 1942. It was named Villa Inalco and situated in San Carlos de Bariloche, Argentina. It was modelled on Hitler’s Berghof residence in Bavaria. Eventually it became known locally as La Residencia de Hitler.

 

(5) In 2019, Lt. Colonel Arturo, aged 92, declared on his deathbed that he had once visited Adolf Hitler at Villa Inalco. He was a young lieutenant at that time and carried important personal documents for Adolf Hitler from Argentine President Juan Peron. He had even been handed a brandy from the hands of the Führer. 

 

(6)At that time, US President Eisenhower, Russian President Joseph Stalin, and Marshal Zhukov, Commander of Russian forces in Berlin, all firmly believed that Hitler and Braun had survived and escaped to Argentina by submarine in early 1945.

 

(7)FBI agents confirmed contacting the Argentine government, which acknowledged holding records that Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun escaped, first to Spain and then to Argentina. It occurred in May 1945 aboard a German U-boat which had surfaced outside the port of Mar del Plata. They promptly informed the US Government, as was required by International Law.

 

(8)In 2009, archaeologist Nicholas Bellatoni examined fragments of blood and bones. Those remains were officially claimed to belong to Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun. They had been retrieved from the grounds of the Führerbunker by Russian troops. However, DNA testing failed to support that claim. It was stated that parts belonged to a forty-year-old woman, unrelated to Eva Braun. Further tests indicated that the male body would have been approximately five inches shorter than Hitler with a significantly smaller skull. But what if the fragments belonged to Magda and Joseph Goebbels instead? If so, the picture changes dramatically because the forensic tests took place 64 years afterwards. The margin of error makes it a reasonable assumption. 

 

In considering the Escape Timeline and the Laws of Probability, was it a case of organised misdirection, and that Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun actually escaped to Argentina?
