It is believed by many that in the last few days leading up to Germany's official surrender on May 7th, 1945 many German officials, officers and generals were either killed, captured or they committed suicide. However, before we just continue assuming that this is true, let's explore a few rumors.

Possible EscapeEdit

It is a fact that Adolf Hitler had a least one "look-alike" to fill-in for him when needed. Therefore, it is not impossible to believe that Hitler may have escaped and moved to Argentina as has been rumored.

This raises several questions. For instance, did anyone else in the bunker also have a double? Could the bunker have been staffed with doubles ONLY?

There are pictures that support those suspicions. It has been rumored that in the late forties and early fifties in the Buenos Aires police department, there were two officers who resembled Adolf Hitler and Alfred Jodl. Could Hitler have let the ends of his moustache grow out and Jodl have made himself a toupee out of the pelt of a llama rump? Could this be an actual picture of Alfred Jodl and Adolf Hitler?

The possibilties are endless. If they had decided to leave Germany after the German-Mexican War and left their doubles locked in the bunker to fend for themselves, Hitler, Jodl and possibly others had almost three-years before the Allies occupied Germany to go far away and begin their new lives.

Other PossibilitesEdit

Another theory is that, instead of fleeing to Argetina, Hitler and Jodl moved to Hollywood. There, after several months of trying to break into showbiz, Jodl was able to find work as a stunt double for a popular comedian by growing a moustache and gaining several more pounds.

It is proposed that the picture of the stunt double on the far left side is Jodl posing with the real actor.

In the meantime, Hitler was not as fortunate as Jodl and had to settle for a job as a Hollywood tour bus driver. This is the only know photograph of "Bus-Driver Hitler"

ConclusionEdit

Of course, all of this is meerly specualtion. Chances are, everything that we know is the truth. Hitler killed himself, Jodl and Keitel were hung at Nuremburg, etc. But, there's always that possibility of maybe ...

... but then again, maybe not.
