Mysteries to me are always interesting, did Hitler die or escape, it seems that the information about his death was never proved 100%. If the government Knew or thought with out much doubt that he did die why were they still looking? But this makes for a great mystery research everything don't just take what you have been taught in history books and in school as a lot of what our schools teach is not the truth. The places and names and countries they go to, the people they talk to and even the ones who don't want to talk or are afraid too says something. If one will look up the places where they go and do their own research will find that there are still a lot who agreed with Hitler and would hide him. If one will look up Dignidad/ Villa Baviera Chile which it is known today even today there is a lot that is not right and what had/has went on there has been recent.
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.
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.
Hunting Hitler really was fascinating overall, though I could have done without some of the ever present dramatic sound effects whenever a new light was shined on something from the past in uncovered FBI files which would help complete the puzzle they were all working together on for years. "Da da!" the sound effects would go, as the researchers would look at each other meaningfully and say "This is huge!" I would have preferred a more studious simplicity to it all. Intelligent people don't NEED sound effects and pregnant pauses and meaningful, knowing looks, nor do they need to hear the Lord's name taken in vain multiple times when new discoveries were made. Just the facts, please. :)
I think they should have started the documentary where they ended up: Germany, and the escape routes for the vicious Nazis escaping the Allies, places in Germany itself, Norway, Spain, Rome, instead of jumping immediately into South American countries like they did. If those were the last living places for Hitler they should have gotten there in a more linear fashion, rather than jumping around in a sometimes confusing patchwork of places that did not have had any real meaning at all in the grand scheme of things.
I enjoyed it overall, but also having a FORMER FBI guy interviewed at the end, instead of someone working for them TODAY in a head capacity, doesn't mean much. Opinions are opinions. Facts are facts. There never was a body of Hitler recovered. The Soviets covered up a lot and so did the USA. No forensic evidence whatsoever available that this heinous mass murderer ever died in that bunker. My own father was in the 82nd Airborne Division and saw the pit where Hitler's body was supposed to have been burned by the Soviets. He said that only three weeks later there was grass growing back in that pit. Highly unlikely, he said to me years ago, after starting a gasoline fire in a pit, that grass would grow that quickly. "I've always doubted Hitler killed himself in that bunker."
Bottom line: the Allies FAILED to catch him, and then covered up mountains of evidence that he escaped to try and plan a future "Fourth Reich" in another part of the world closer to America in an attempt to destroy her. While Hitler failed to destroy America back then, today we still have his closet henchmen - and women - doing his evil, devious, National Socialist propaganda under the name of modern socialism in America - in our media, in the DNC and many RINOs, and in shady political organizations which seek to cause division among Americans and destroy her from within.
There could possibly be a fourth season of this documentary, but it would be totally remiss if it didn't cover what is taking place today politically that had its origins in the sick National Socialist mind of Adolf Hitler.

Format sucks. All of the documentary and reality shows use this terrible format of 1 step forward, 2 steps back.
They build up to something then go to a commercial. After the commercial break it's a recap of what you have already seen with all the same scenes and lines building it up to what turns out to be nothing. Then another dramatic event or break through and the cycle starts over stringing you along. If they cut the crap the episode would be less than 30 minutes.
The content and story is great. Interesting and educational.
They present a believable story of how Hitler could have escaped. Lots of questions arise from what they explain in the first episode about Hitlers death and how it was reported. A Russian soldier saw a body under a sheet with blood on it and said that is Hitler.

- TriviaEven though world renowned historian James Holland appears throughout Seasons 2-3, James has stated on his Podcast "We Have Ways of Making You Talk" that he agreed to do the project only as long as he wasn't forced to say or imply that Hitler really escaped the Bunker and didn't commit suicide. He also stated that doing this project helped him fund his research for his current book (as of 2020) "Sicily '43" .
