Hunting Hitler: Les Dossiers déclassifiés

I believe that I am better versed on the history of WWII than most. However I am amazed at the extent of the Nazi network and infrastructure this program has uncovered in South America. The so called Rat Lines in South America that Hitler's high command developed would cost 100's of millions to replicate today. So even if you accept the orthodoxy of Hitler's suicide in Berlin in 1945 this show is still very interesting and well worth watching.

I really liked this series if for no other reason it plays a great "what if" with Hitler and weather he could have escaped. What we learn that most don't know is that the Nazi's had a lot of tennicles reaching other countries with lots of infastructure to protect them. Generally this is not something you learn in history so it was interesting to see. The amount of money they spent to disperse themselves is frightening when you consider what could have happened if they had won!

I find all of this stuff very intriguing and have watched every single episode so far. I'm as skeptical as anyone else and take all of it with a grain of salt. It does appear legit and I myself as well as others are curious about our history being accurate about this subject. At the very least, I am learning allot about WW2 history and just how elusive and evasive the Germans were in their escape from Berlin during WW2.

After reading through the reviews, it appears that people are jumping to conclusions and are not giving the show a chance at all. I believe there are those who hate Hitler so bad that they don't want to believe that someone could have gotten away with what he did and lived happily every after. It's an interesting show and I will continue watching it.

In Season 3 why do Bob & Neda, or whatever her name is, wear the same clothes on every episode? Why was the anonymous informant "accidentally" revealed sitting at the table when previously he was always pixelated? Hope he sues The History Channel. Why does Bob go see a retired FBI agent who can probably do nothing for him since he is retired? What led to the downfall of the 754 camps in Chile? Surely there must be people willing to talk about them other than the one gentleman who led the team to his internment camp on the coast.

This is why there is 'hate' on this show...

The topic is very interesting and very plausible. The problem is that it could have been covered in half the time or less. Why rehash all the info you just told me when you return from commercial....ugh. And can it be any more sensationalized? Just cover the story. And the cast of characters think they are going for an academy award. Borderline annnoying.

Good background noise while possibly learning something. ;)
