The free world, on the other hand, has much to lose by allowing Hitler to remain free. For one thing, many of the Fuhrer’s followers are still around, waiting for his return. These men still dream of the power they had under the Nazi empire Hitler once ruled. Granted that they live in the past, and yet if Hitler were to reappear they would once again swear their loyalty to him unto death.
Naturally such people have little chance to regain the power they once had, but they are numerous enough and fanatical enough to cause a serious threat to the stability of the free world. This is not only what the Communists know, but what they hope for. If the free world were to be put off-balance because of such a sudden resurgence of Nazism, the Communist bloc might be able to gain an over-powering superiority.
Hitler’s Bunker Destroyed
It is primarily for this reason that Hitler’s bunker, containing possible evidence of his escape, was ordered blown up by the Russian government. This is why Zhukov was ordered publicly to change his mind concerning Hitler’s death, in spite of a tremendous loss of face, and this is the reason that the Communists have tried to conceal the escape of Adolf Hitler.
The free nations cannot afford to allow Hitler to remain at large any longer. The world is now faced with factual proof that Hitler not only could have, but probably did escape, along with others such as Bormann and Eichmann. All that remains necessary is his capture and trial, not only in the name of justice, but to defeat the Russian war lords in their attempts to protect this greatest of all criminals. If they succeed, then they’ll be a step closer to their goal of world domination.
EICHMANN’S LAST WORDS REVEAL HITLER IS ALIVE!
UNTOLD STORY OF THE
NAZI HIDEOUT IN ARGENTINA
by HARVEY WILSON
Deep in South America’s “Little Germany,” big shot Hitlerites are hatching plans for a violent comeback
A political volcano is ready to erupt in Argentina. The Nazi underground is emerging, and with it the world will soon learn that Hitler is still alive.
It is no longer a secret among the Nazi hierarchy that Der Fuehrer and his top aides have been hatching the Fourth Reich from their hideout in the vast, sparsely populated Patagonia region of Argentina.
In Adolf Eichmann’s march to the gallows in the courtyard of Ramla Prison, in Tel Aviv’s outskirts, he kept bellowing: “Long live Hitler! Long live Germany!”
These words—his last before the noose tightened around his scrawny neck—not only expressed sentiment. They also reflected his subconscious admission that Hitler was still at large.
Allied intelligence agents report that Hitler’s existence is now being publicly acknowledged by Argentine Nazis.
Any evening in the swanky Cabana Restaurant in Buenos Aires, a rendezvous for the wealthy German colony, dozens of Germans rise, lift glasses of champagne and cry: “To Hitler! To The Fatherland!”
There is no longer any question in the minds of Israeli Intelligence agents that Hitler and his top aides are secure in an Argentine hideout.
The agents have personally seen such fugitives as Martin Bormann, Deputy Fuehrer under Hitler; Johann von Leers, a high-powered Hitler propaganda man; Hans Rudel, Hitler’s personal pilot, and Dr. Joseph Mengele, whose inhuman experiments upon Jewish children and women shocked the world.
So bitter is Israeli hatred of Mengele that his capture, next to Hitler himself, would be considered a major triumph.
Ironically, it was the Israeli agents’ hunt for Mengele that brought them to Eichmann. Their decision to grab Eichmann on the streets of Buenos Aires and secretly fly him to Israel stemmed from the failure of the West Germany Government to effect the extradition of Mengele from Argentina.
The story behind this strange episode has never been told before.
The Police Gazette can now reveal that, in the spring of 1959, Israeli agents tracked the infamous doctor to Argentina.
Extradition Blocked
At that time, it was the policy of the Israeli Intelligence Service to inform the West German Government of the whereabouts of escaped war criminals. The Bonn Government would then move for their extradition and trial.
Bonn followed through after Mengele was “fingered.” But Argentina refused the request on the ground that the charges against Mengele were of a political character.
Also turned down was a request for the extradition of Dr. Karl Klingenfuss, a former counselor to the Nazi Foreign Ministry, who was wanted for mass murder. It was obvious that the Nazis were so firmly entrenched that they had official protection.
Under these circumstances, the Israelis decided to take matters into their own hands. But the two Nazis promptly fled to new hideouts after getting wind of the extradition requests.
In hunting down new leads, the Israelis got hot on the trail of a really big fish—the High Executioner of the gas chambers, Eichmann.
Having been burned once, the Jewish agents were not going to risk losing a prize catch of such magnitude. So, in a daring move, they pounced on Eichmann and spirited him out of Argentina.
Fuming over the kidnapping, the Argentine Nazis consolidated their forces for a broadscale attack on the Jews.
Two neo-fascist groups—Tacuara and Mazorca—plotted a violent Hitlerite campaign to wipe out Jewish communities.
Groups of Nazi thugs seized Jewish youths and branded them with swastikas. They harassed Jewish families in a diabolical campaign of terror.
After Eichmann’s execution, the outbreaks became so widespread that one hotbed of violence, Buenos Aires University, closed for a day to avoid further “incidents.”
Soon afterward, a shocking report came from a high Argentine police official. He charged that neo-fascists, egged on by the Nazis, had been operating with police protection.
The official, Raul Angelini, blew the whistle on the Nazis after resigning as chief of Federal Coordination (Argentina’s FBI).
Angelini accused his superior, Enrique Green, head of the federal police, of closing his eyes or taking “inadequate measures” against the vehemently pro-Nazi Tacuara Society.
The startling story of Nazi infiltration in Argentina dates back to pre-World War II days. German financial interests were deeply entrenched in the country’s economy. At the outbreak of war, Argentina’s sympathies were flagrantly pro-Nazi, though it professed to be “neutral.”
When Hitler marched into Paris after the Germans overran France, Argentine dictator Juan Peron was right there with him.
Nazis occupied top positions in the Peron government.
George Mann, a German financial expert, was special adviser to the Argentine Ministry of Finance.
Col. Walter Osterkamp, former head of the Luftwaffe school in Werneuchen, Germany, was confidential adviser to the Argentine Air Force.
And Gen. Carlos von der Becke, Chief of Staff of the Argentine Army, had close relatives on the German General Staff.
Guiding spirit of the Argentine Nazis was Ludwig Freude, an old-time Hitler crony, who was the mysterious power behind the scenes in the German Embassy. Freude’s son was Peron’s confidential aide.
With the imminent collapse of the Third Reich, top Nazi officials transferred $400,000,000 of German funds to Argentina. Allied Intelligence traced the personal fortunes of such Nazi stalwarts as Luftwaffe chief Hermann Goering and von Ribbentrop to Buenos Aires.
These millions bought a huge slice of Argentine territory, including thousands of square miles of ranchland in the provinces of Rio Negro, and Chubut in Patagonia. The methodical “super men” turned this vast area into a Little Nazi Germany, policed by armed guards.
This is where the top Nazis fled when the Third Reich was destroyed. It was a perfect setup for a hide out.
After the German surrender in 1945, Nazi war criminals filtered into Argentina by submarine, plane and cargo vessel. During the closing days of the war, Bormann had established an escape route through Spain.
Eichmann followed this underground route. Ironically, Eichmann’s ve
rsion of his escape has been verified by an ex-Nazi agent who was Bormann’s chief lieutenant in the underground.
Plastic Surgery
A few days after Eichmann’s execution, this agent, Angel Alcarzar de Velasco, came out of hiding in Paris and admitted his part in the Nazi underground.
Velasco revealed that the last time he conferred with Bormann was in 1958 in a mountain village in the Andes. By that time, Deputy Fuehrer Bormann’s appearance had been changed radically. He had undergone three plastic surgery operations on his face. He was also much thinner and was practically bald.
On several occasions, Israeli Intelligence agents had come within an arm’s reach of Bormann. He was observed drinking beer in the A.B.C. German Restaurant in Lavalle St. in the heart of Buenos Aires. But he was surrounded by bodyguards. A few months before Eichmann was captured, he slipped away and is now reported hiding in Patagonia.
Before Bormann left Spain, he confided to Velasco that “Europe will see Hitler again before long, leading a new and more powerful Germany.”
Velasco’s disclosures were nothing new to Allied Intelligence agents, who have known that Bormann, Hitler and his key aides escaped from the smoldering ruins of Berlin.
Soon after Soviet Marshal Zhukov entered Berlin, he announced: “We have found no corpse that could be Hitler’s. Hitler had a good opportunity to get away. He could have taken off at the very last moment, for there was an airfield at his disposal.”
Six months after Germany’s collapse, Gen, Eisenhower said: “The Russians have been unable to unearth one bit of tangible evidence of Hitler’s death.”
And Lt. Gen. Bedell Smith, who headed the Central Intelligence Agency right after the war, bluntly reported: “No human being can say that Hitler is dead.”
The most important clue to the whereabouts of Hitler has been supplied by high-ranking Nazis during bouts of heavy drinking in Buenos Aires cafes. They openly discussed having met Der Fuehrer, who is 73 now, in Bariluche, a quiet town in Rio Negro province.
The new outbreaks of Hitlerism reveal the hand of the fanatic old master at work.
Brutal Beatings
Just as in Germany, during the heyday of Nazism, hardly a day passes without some anti-Semitic incident in Argentina’s larger cities. Jewish students have been brutally beaten, some of them severely disfigured. Walls have been scribbled with Nazi slogans. Windows of Jewish-owned stores, have been smashed and synagogues desecrated.
In this climate of violence, Israeli commandos, sworn to avenge the murder of six million Jews by bringing Nazi war criminals to justice, are themselves being sought by Argentine authorities.
But nothing will deter these commandos from stalking Hitler and Bormann. They have sworn to “follow them to their graves.”
Meanwhile, Argentina boils with political unrest as the Nazi Underground starts to emerge from the shadows.
HITLER IS ALIVE: SUICIDE A FAKE!
by BILL DAVIS
The plan of Major Kainitsch provided for Der Fuehrer and all the Nazi leaders to escape on two planes—plan also provided for a Sgt. Schmidt to be found burned, in Hitler’s uniform and a bullet in his head …
An attractive German woman—the daughter of Adolf Hitler’s top personal aide, Martin Bormann—has finally broken her silence on the most daring cloak-and-dagger exploit of World War II, Hitler’s escape from Berlin.
The woman, Frau Ute Eva Bormann Riedmann, is the one person who has the inside, first-hand knowledge of Hitler’s flight.
For years she refused to discuss the matter. But recently Bormann’s daughter went to Italy to be married to Gerhard Riedmann. They tried to keep the engagement secret, but Italian reporters spotted the advance wedding notice in a small newspaper in Bolzano.
When Ute and Gerhard arrived in Bolzano, reporters and columnists swarmed around them. But they refused to be interviewed. Finally, four days before the marriage, one enterprising newsman got to see them alone. He left a visiting card, asking for an interview.
“I don’t know how it happened,” the reporter said later, “but three days before the marriage Gerhard Riedmann telephoned me, making an appointment. He came right on time with his fiancé, and we drove out to a restaurant outside the city.”
For hours Bormann’s daughter and her fiancé sat with the reporter, sipping beer and chatting. Her disclosures being printed here for the first time in the United States provide dramatic details of Hitler’s faked suicide and confirm and shed additional light on the Police Gazette’s exclusive revelation in 1951 that the dictator had escaped.
The woman spoke softly as she recalled called how Hitler had called his general staff to a top-secret meeting in battered Berlin in April of 1945. Bombs were exploding outside. The Fuehrer’s dreams of conquest were going up in flames. While Bormann’s daughter was not at the meeting, she had heard full details of it from members of her family who later escaped from Berlin.
Plans for Escape
“The Allied divisions were already on the point of occupying Berlin when the general staff assembled.” she said. “Hitler was there, very excited and very much afraid. Goebbels was there, and many others. My father was there, too. They were laboring on a plan to escape.
“Major Kainitsch prepared everything. Hitler was supposed to escape on a light plane. My father was to stay to the end and spread the news of the Fuehrer’s suicide, communicate it to Admiral Doenitz and have his will recognized. Then he could make his getaway in turn on another aircraft.
“The second plane never arrived, and my father was left in the bunker. When the Americans and Russians occupied Berlin, they found charred bodies in the cellar of the Chancellery. Although a body was found dressed like Hitler, It was not the Fuehrer. He had gotten away to South America.”
Frau Riedmann lit a cigarette before continuing.
Hitler and aide Martin Bormann, who helped formulate plan for escape. He stayed behind to spread news of Fuehrer’s suicide.
“Kainitsch’s plan,” she said, “provided for a deception. There was to be a standin for Hitler in the final climax. It was to be an SS sergeant, a man named Schmidt, dressed in the Fuehrer’s clothes. A bullet in his head would make things look like suicide, and a can of gasoline would destroy the body for identification.”
Frau Riedmann’s account fits in perfectly with Independent proof—unearthed by the US Army and the Police Gazette—of Hitler’s successful flight.
When the first Russians burst into Hitler’s bunker, several bodies were found. Hitler’s uniform was on one charred corpse. But Allied intelligence agents obtained X-rays of Hitler’s teeth from the dictator’s personal dentist and established that the body was that of someone else.
Colonel W. F. Heimlich, former chief of US Army Intelligence in Berlin, reported these results of his investigation:
“I could find no evidence of Hitler’s death. He had ample opportunity to escape. There was an airfield and planes available at his disposal.”
Hitler Wasn’t Depressed
Interviews with Heinz Linge, Hitler’s chauffeur, and other members of his staff who saw him a few minutes before his alleged death supported Heimlich. One after another, they said Hitler did not appear despondent or depressed when he called them in to say goodbye.
“He seemed more like a man about to take a trip than a man who was going to die,” said one.
All of the members of Hitler’s staff conceded that they had not seen Hitler die.
Heimlich used a scientific approach to completely demolish the myth that Hitler was a suicide.
“Analysis of the couch stains where Hitler reportedly killed himself.” said Heimlich, “revealed that the stains, while they were human blood, were not of the blood type of Hitler or Eva Braun. There were no bullet holes in the couch or in the wall behind it.”
Heimlich was determined to leave no stone unturned in his investigation. After proving positively that none of the corpses in or near Hitler’s bunker was the dictator’s, Heimlich had the enti
re area dug up to see whether Hitler’s body still lay buried.
Ute Bormann talks to reporter in exclusive interview, telling of how Hitler made escape to South America.
“I arranged for an American intelligence team to undertake a careful examination and excavation of the Reichschancellery area,” said Heimlich. “First, all debris was cleared up. Such odds and ends of war as broken machine guns, ammunition, rifles, helmets, uniforms, bits and pieces of wood were examined.
“The bomb crater, located about four yards from the entrance to the bunker was the prime target. Two screens were erected, one of wire mesh similar to chicken wire and behind it a second one much finer with half-inch holes. Every shovelful of dirt from the bomb crater went through the wide screen and next through the small screen in the hope that any small piece of evidence showing the presence of a human body might be quickly detected.
“The X-ray photographs of Hitler’s head gave us expert clues as to his dental structure and even one tooth might have been sufficient to identify his body.
“As the excavation progressed, we found bits of uniform and civilian clothing including a woman’s slip, a man’s hat with the initials ‘A.H.’ in silver in the lining, suitcases and other pieces of clothing, hooks, magazines, records, diaries, recording tape and the remains of what had once been the switchboard in the bunker.
“After days of excavation in an ever-widening area, we found no signs of any bodies, and more significantly, no evidence of burning or of fire.
“On the basis of this on-the-spot investigation, I sent my report to Supreme Headquarters at Frankfurt, together with pictures and supporting evidence, stating that there was nothing to support the theory of Hitler’s death.”
Escaped on Plane
Fray Riedmann revealed that Hitler flew out of Berlin the night of April 30, 1945, “on a littler Fieseler-Storch plane that landed on the Unter den Linden during the night and which he boarded with a woman and some suitcases.”
Once again, this jibes with evidence uncovered by Allied agents. Their confidential conclusion was that Hitler flew to a secluded Nazi submarine base, where a fully-stocked U-boat was waiting for him.
