I read the full story with great interest as I was living in Berlin at the end of the war. I think the writer has a great imagination. Even the remark that there was a tunnel from the Chancellery to the airport. The distance from the Chancellery to the airport is at least 3 km in a straight line. To give some substance to the story a date of the escape should be given. At least we could have a look at the front lines and where the fighting was. The airport was taken by the Red Army on the 26 April. At that stage of the war planes were not taken off from the airport. It is true that Hannah Reitsch flew many people out of Berlin in her Fieseler Storch which was able to take off from anywhere. Finally her plane was shot down. The story of the escape is a work of fiction. The writer poses the question why anybody could believe official stories. The same question would apply to any other story. Nowhere are any facts. Why aren’t those socalled FBI files not examined by historians? Berlin, at the time, was chaotic in some ways and organised in many others. I can attest to that.

Thanks for commenting, Berlioz. I agree some elements of the story are quite implausible, but it seems at least two historians Abel Basti and Peter David Orr have examined the FBI files and a number of witness statements from people who came in contact with Hitler in Argentina. I guess we would have to read their books to examine the quality of the evidence – especially the DNA evidence revealing the charred remains the Russians took out of the bunker aren’t Adolph and Eva. The article mentions but doesn’t link to the 2015 History Channel documentary Hunting Hitler.
I plan to watch it today to get some idea of the plausibility of the existing evidence. Here’s the link: https://www.history.com/shows/hunting-hitler?newexp=true
