I guess anything is possible but one would think the Nazis would not want any witnesses of Hitler's escape and would have shot this American prisoner as a witness.

Hitler died in the bunker.

He never got out. One of the only decent things he ever did, was to die there.

Hitler survived the war, moved to Dallas and taught marksmanship to local youth. Prize pupil was Lee Oswald, who died last week. He taught Whitman how to shoot while attending UT on a Chess scholarship.

I believe he blew his brains all over that room in the bunker in April 1945. He died in Berlin.

Don't know of too many first hand accounts detailing the events in the 'Bunker'. I have to believe the versions of Hans Bauer, Heinz Linge and Rochus Misch until evidence proves otherwise.

I'll shoot this down even before we get to the mountains of evidence. I do this, because the "evidence" becomes irrelevant. Did the Soviets get the wrong skull fragament? It's possible, but this does not somehow mean he survived. Faulty evidence does not prove an alternative scenario widely beyond the realm of probability. Even if he'd tried to escape, he wouldn't have made it 3 days without his doctor and his pampering. A man on the run can't live on a vegan diet, for instance.

Hitler died in the bunker. The chances of making it out of Berlin safely were strongly against him and his whole history argues against him trying it. It's not even compatible with his personality. Expecting Hitler to run away, hide, and then stay silent is like expecting Donald Trump to say nice, pleasing things about people with whom he disagrees.

Oh, and "because some soldier said so" is meaningless.

Memo to everyone: The "Greatest Generation" also includes people who lie, steal, are ingrates, etc. It's not like there is some mystical halo that prevents them from being bad people.
