I wasted my time watching that entire series, but when it comes down to it there is NO physical evidence to prove Hitler escaped. Many of Hitler's supporters did escape to South America and attempted to recreate a Fourth Reich. There is physical evidence that he died in his bunker. Russia loved playing games with US.

What evidence is there he killed himself? I know the dental records were hand drawn off of the memory of the dentist. Not saying he escaped either.

Unfortunately, the USSR was allowed to reach Berlin first, and were able to retrieve Mr. Hitler's corpus.

The usual story told is that they cremated it, and /or disposed of it in an unknown location.

So there is really no way to do DNA or other tests on his remains to know for sure.

If America had got to Berlin first, we would have decapitated the body, and put it on pike so the people could see that their fuhrer had passed on, and there would have been no doubt. Then Hitler's body could have been entombed in a mausoleum so that if doubts like this came about later, the corpus could be disinterred.
