According to official information, Hitler committed suicide in a Berlin, Germany bunker in April 1945. However, files declassified in 2020 revealed that CIA agents conducted a secret search for Adolf Hitler in South America 10 years after he was believed dead. |
Specifically, during the period from 1945 to 1955, CIA agents in the United States and South America investigated the possibility of dictator Hitler faked his death and fled across the Atlantic. |
According to declassified records, US agents were skeptical Hitler may have fled to Argentina, where the Nazi leader was hiding and living under an assumed name. By 1955, CIA sources had gathered intelligence suggesting that Hitler had even fled to Colombia. |
During the early stages of the CIA investigation, agents focused on the La Falda Hotel in Argentina as a potential hideout for Hitler. According to War Department records, the hotel's owners were staunch supporters of the Nazi regime, even providing financial support to Hitler's close associate Joseph Goebbels. |
Some CIA investigators believed that the isolated hotel was Hitler's ideal hideout. In 1954, another CIA report contained a photograph of a man who bore a striking resemblance to Hitler. |
The photo is believed to have been taken in Tunja, Colombia. The man in the photo has been identified as "Adolf Schrittelmayor" sitting next to another man named Philip Citroen. |
Citroen was a former SS officer in Nazi Germany. He said he often met Hitler in Colombia and even had his picture taken with the dictator. |
According to an informant labeled CIMELODY-3 in CIA documents, Citroen spoke freely about these encounters and shared the photo with a mutual acquaintance—who took the photo without Citroen's knowledge. |
In a report dated October 3, 1955, CIA agents attempted to verify Citroen's claims. Citroen apparently told acquaintances that a decade after the end of World War II, Hitler would not be prosecuted for war crimes. |
However, the clues, including the photo above, are not convincing enough to prove that Hitler was alive after World War II. Accordingly, to this day, the fate of the German Nazi leader is still a subject of great debate. |
