I've just finished watching episode 2 of this documentary series. I have to say I'm impressed (other than the usual tv drama and tension they build into doco's these days, which I never like) by how well made it's been and the professional level of those taking part. It seems to me to be a well researched and exceptionally well funded investigation and made documentary, and I am learning things for the first time - including the vast layered tunnel network the Nazis built under Berlin that would've easily allowed an escape in secret. This network was vast and hundreds of kilometres in length. Plus just how many Germans resided in Argentina during those years (60,000) and how nazified they were. And all these later people still don't want to take about it - clearly there is a level of fear still extant.
Whether or not they'll ever reach the end of the journey, I don't know. But they have shown that there is absolutely no proof that Hitler died in Berlin in 1945. All the eye-witness account turned out to be hearsay or indirect. No one saw him take poison. No one saw his body after his death. Besides, there were 4 secret escape tunnels from the bunker that led directly into the vast underground tunnel network that permeated Berlin. Why have all that at your disposal and kill yourself? I doesn't make sense.
In short the story history tells us is true simply isn't.

The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
