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.
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.

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.

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!
The first part was interessting but at the moment i took Google maps beside it the lies came out and were an eyeopener!!
The greatest mistake in my point of view is Season 2 episode 5 at the beginning. A view of a port named Cádiz! But is it no it is Gibraltar Avenue de espana! Next view very short but by holding the recording you see something special that is not in Cádiz! The rock of Gibraltar! Then the next views................Hotel Reina Cristina! In Cádiz? Nope in Taifa Algeciras directly oposite of the Rock!
If you like the trueth don't watch this show!

- 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" .
