Here is a cynic's point:I didn't read this entire post but it says FBI in the beginning.
This story is straight from the CIA website from declassified files.
Good point.I would have expected the man to have atleast shaved off the well recognizable mushtache atleast, if he was indeed in hiding. :biggrin2:
I love that concept too !All you noobs, its well known Hitler escaped to the moon and Nazis have a base on the dark side of the moon.
Hard to believe that such information was available and no action was taken to apprehend him.FUHRER FLED?
CIA suspected Adolf Hitler was alive in Colombia until at least the 1950s after surviving World War 2
Newly-declassified CIA files contain a photo an informant claims is the fuhrer in 1955
The official files show a former SS soldier told spies he regularly met with the Nazi leader in Colombia
It goes on to suggest that Hitler, who would have been aged 66, worked as a shipping company employee before fleeing to Argentina
The newly-released documents show that American spooks were serious enough about Hitler's survival that they filed evidence back to the US

There was enough rumour shortly after the end of the World War II that Hitler and his coterie managed to escape Berlin and find refuge in South America. Some Nazis were indeed confirmed to have been living in South America.
Maybe they did investigate and did not find any tangible lead to pursue these suspicions?Hard to believe that such information was available and no action was taken to apprehend him.

You do know that the USA forgave the sins of many Nazis and made them American citizens, right?Hard to believe that such information was available and no action was taken to apprehend him.

Yes but forgiving Nazis and forgiving Hitler is quite different. It's like issuing a pardon to Osama.You do know that the USA forgave the sins of many Nazis and made them American citizens, right?
The pardon issue is not a matter of morality but of image hence the secrecy, with project paperclip and the equivalent Japanese project and other such projects.Yes but forgiving Nazis and forgiving Hitler is quite different. It's like issuing a pardon to Osama.

But USA's image was not at stake. If anything, Americans could have captured Hitler and maligned the Soviet image even further as the soviets were supposed to have killed the Fuhrer.The pardon issue is not a matter of morality but of image hence the secrecy, with project paperclip and the equivalent Japanese project and other such projects.
Well the story goes that Hitler committed suicide but I get your point.But USA's image was not at stake. If anything, Americans could have captured Hitler and maligned the Soviet image even further as the soviets were supposed to have killed the Fuhrer.
