The Compound

The team investigates makeshift runways pointing to a possible escape from Berlin by air; Lenny and historian James Holland investigate an airstrip and bunker system in Denmark; Tim and Alasdair unearth a possible Nazi compound in Argentina.

Bob and John's dual investigation continues in Europe and Argentina. While investigating makeshift runways as an escape from Berlin by air, the team finds reason to believe Hitler would have had a stopping point on the way to Spain. Following files that place Hitler in Denmark after the war, Lenny and James Holland head to Denmark, where they investigate an airstrip and a massive bunker system and meet with local experts to uncover Hitler's possible escape route. Still deep in the jungles of Misiones, Argentina, Tim and Alasdair unearth clue after clue that could make this area a Nazi militarized compound. Terraced structures, man-made walls and defensible outposts all point to a heavily guarded area--perfectly set up to protect a high value Nazi target.

Even if he actually did die in Berlin, it is interesting seeing how the upper echelon had their escapes planned and how they may have done it. It is a proven fact that a lot of nazi's were captured in South America and seeing how they attempted to hide and what lengths they went to to hide.

He died in Berlin. Hitler's dentist was captured after the war by the Americans. Two of his dental techs were captured by the Russians. Each independently reconstructed the details of Hitler's dental work from memory. Their reconstructions meshed completely, and they fit with the details of the dental work on the jaw fragments attributed to Hitler AND to the skull X-rays taken of him by his doctor after the July 20 bomb attempt. Bottom line, there is solid forensic proof beyond a reasonable doubt that Hitler died in Berlin.
