Hunting Hitler

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 like the logic of the series. Since nobody can prove that Hitler died - ergo he lives. I think he is living in plain sight. I'm sure I just saw him in New York City - it was fleeting, but the damned subway was so crowded. Just because there aren't many 126yr old Nazi's doesn't mean he isn't out there alive and kicking! His birthday is coming up soon - we might find him at a beer hall party! I would not be surprised if he were hiding in München where the famous attempted Putsch occurred. Who would ever think of looking for him there? With his characteristic looks, he could easily pass for those street impersonators who try to get tourists to pose with them for a few Euro's.

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. ;)

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.

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.
