Re: GREY WOLF: The Escape of Adolf Hitler

Not even bother Andrew, this is a typical those believe because they want to believe, if "Based on the excellent research of Kössler, Ott and Schlaug, who have spent decades researching Luftwaffe transport operations, there is no evidence whatsoever for transport flights from Berlin after the night of 25/26 April", they only need to ask "Don't you think such an important and secrect flight would be on the record?" and "Do you have any evidence that could abosultely disapprove this flight ever happened?", trying to answer either of these 2 questions you would find you are running in an circle without ending.
But I have to admit that if Hilter did indeed escpae to Spain or Argentina, two of the most powerful countries in the world, then nothing could be done to him, US, UK and Soviet would have no other choice but remain silience.

Re: GREY WOLF: The Escape of Adolf Hitler

If I may add the recent examination and test conducted by the Americans on the Hitler skull fragment that was put on display by the Russians:

It was found to be that of a woman. And by definition, secret flights are secret. They are authorized by high authorities and everyone is told to keep quiet.

Re: GREY WOLF: The Escape of Adolf Hitler

That skull fragment was dismissed as reasonable evidence long ago. The bullet hole isn’t nearly large enough to be the exit hole of a round fired from a Walther PPK at close range.

Also the fire damage isn’t nearly extensive enough - Hitler's body was almost completely burned, and any surviving piece of skull or bone fragment would have shown far more and extensive evidence of burning than the Moscow fragment.

In addition, if Hitler did escape, he left the bottom part of his head in Berlin, as charred pieces of his lower and upper jaw were unearthed in the German capital in 1945 and matched X-rays of Hitler's skull and teeth, details confirmed by his dentist, Hugo Blaschke.

Dr. Sherovsky in the initial autopsy could find no evidence of a gunshot wound in Hitler’s remains but part of the skull cap was missing. Very conveniently this skull fragment was later recovered from the Führerbunker complete with a single bullet hole.This skull fragment then disappeared from official records only to be recovered at a later date in the basement of the Moscow archives after the fall of the Soviet Union where it was put on show as part of an exhibition on the fall of the Third Reich.

Re: GREY WOLF: The Escape of Adolf Hitler

Hi Mars

Couldn't it also be said that those who don't wish to believe, won't believe?

As I said originally, one needs an open mind to start with, otherwise one makes silly statements! IMHO!

Cheers
Brian

Re: GREY WOLF: The Escape of Adolf Hitler

As a longtime researcher of matters both military and nonmilitary, it is accurate to say, I must start with a positive mindset. Any good researcher has to. Although the company I work for produces fiction, I am regularly called upon to acquire real-world information to lend an air of plausibility to any book, especially if it is set in a particular era and/or in the time frame of a particular conflict.

The same with this subject. If there is a body of evidence that points to a particular possibility then I follow through, weeding out the unattributed and claims made that, upon closer examination, do not hold up, especially as they regard matters that involve secrecy.
