Who flew von Greim and Reitsch out of Berlin?

Forensic pathologists have positively identified Hitler's jaw in the Moscow archives some years ago, so perhaps all the stupid talk about his alleged escape can cease. The sort of nonsense rumors spread by Stalin after the war.

Conspiracy theory and "What If" scenarios - these have so muddied the waters with myths that the the younger generation trying to study World War II end up confused and mislead. The practitioners of this nonsense do a disservice to history.

Is this published anywhere? I also hear that Soviets captured Hitler but also that was never official confirmed, with no evidence. Thank you for info

Larry and VVince are correct. The jaw was identified some years back and some Russian published a small book about it. there was even a TV special, I think the history channel, on the subject. All this AFTER the fall of the USSR and "Eastern" Europe.

Stalin loved to occassionaly trot out the myth that Hitler survived and was allowed by the Allies to go to an assortment of S American countries. He found it useful to do this as it was the start and middle of the Cold War and he, and subsequent Russian leaders hated that the West was letting the "Nazis" in West Germany rearm and run their own affairs.
