Bormann also got out via the Ratlines by leaving at least one badly mutilated body behind him to convince the allies he had died in the last days of the battle for Berlin.
Why not Hitler too?.. .
That's what I'm leaning towards thinking.
Among the known high level nazi officers that were welcomed into South America with open arms were:
Adolf Eichmann
Josef Mengele
Klaus Barbie
Franz Stangl
Given that so many nazis escaped, would it even make sense that the head nazi didn't?

Personally, I think it likely Hitler did commit suicide - or was murdered at the end. He was a trembling morphine addict who was no longer presentable and had, in any case, outlived his usefulness.
I disagree. I think history has taught us that experts at crushing labor unions, oops I mean "Communism," are always useful to Capitalists.
