Did Adolf Hitler really make it out of the bunker alive at the end
of the Second World War? In the first episode of our series on some
of history’s most well-known conspiracy theories, we explore the
idea that Hitler outlasted the downfall of the Third Reich in 1945
and began a new life overseas in South America. In conversation
with Rob Attar, historian Professor Richard J Evans explains the
origins of this theory and reveals why it continues to have
adherents today. History’s Greatest Conspiracy Theories is produced
by the team behind BBC History Magazine. For more fascinating
