Hitler’s Secret Escape Plan
Hitler’s secret escape plan was rumored to take him to Argentina after the war.
Now, declassified documents appear to prove it. Hear about Project Paperclip and more on this Edge of Wonder Live with Ben Chasteen and Rob Counts.
Operation Paperclip was a real government operation in which over 1,500 German scientists, engineers and even war criminals came over to the United States—and they were integrated into US government organizations and departments. Some Nazis spearheaded new developments in places such as NASA. Many military officials expressed their fears that former Nazis would gain access to top secret clearance intel within the government, but because it was all kept quiet, it couldn’t be addressed directly.
Something darker seemed to be brewing alongside all this, as well. Some former Nazi leaders were rumored to have fled to South America to escape capture by the allied forces, and they lived out the rest of their lives in a somewhat normal manner. There were indeed all kinds of German colonies established—and even declassified CIA and FBI documents—pointing to the fact that Hitler himself escaped and went to Argentina. There may be proof of him being there and marrying his mistress.
