DID HITLER ESCAPE THE
BUNKER?
Because of the
fact that Hitler's corpse was never found, rumors, stories and myths have
proliferated since the end of World War Two. For many years after the end
of World War Two there were more sightings of Hitler, alive in South
America, than of Elvis at Kentucky Fried Chicken outlets in the deep
South. Certainly the fires of rumor were fanned by the fact that Stalin
informed Truman, Byrnes and Leahy over lunch in Potsdam on July 17, 1945
that "Hitler had escaped." Keep in mind, this is the same Stalin who also
claimed that the Russians had possession of Hitler's corpse. He also
claimed, or Russian KGB files claimed, that Hitler was captured alive,
taken to the Soviet Union, and held in a prison/hospital for many years.
So, at one time or another, Stalin/the Russians claimed:
A. Hitler escaped alive from Berlin.
B. Hitler's corpse was found and seized by the
Russians.
C. Hitler, alive, was transported to the Soviet Union
and kept there, secretly, for years.
Adolf Hitler's Death: the introduction and overview
Since his supposed death on April 30,
1945, many trees have fallen to create articles and books concerning: is
Hitler dead; how did he die; is he alive, and so on. Although he would
be EXTREMELY old if still alive today, hiding in a well guarded mansion
in Argentina, enough lies and contradictions have been put forth
concerning the death of Hitler and Eva Braun, and the disposal of their
bodies, that speculation about how and if Hitler died persist to this
day.
HOW HITLER DIED?
Some of the theories/ variations include:
1. He ate poison and shot himself at the same time.
2. He ate poison, but didn't shoot himself.
3. He shot himself, but didn't take poison.
4. One of Hitler's supposed "doubles" was killed, creating the
illusion Hitler was dead, allowing the "real" Adolf Hitler to escape.
5. Somebody else killed Hitler.
WAS ADOLF HITLER MURDERED IN SOME OTHER WAY?
Hugh Thomas, in his book "The Murder
of Adolf Hitler," puts forth a theory about Hitler's death that MAY
explain various Bunker resident's contradictory statements about where
the fatal gun wound was located, as well as why no shot was heard. As
Thomas paints the scene, "He (Hitler) is still shuffling around the
anteroom when Linge returns. Linge... offers him a cyanide capsule from
a small brass case, and the use of the Army pistol that Linge withdraws
from the drawer of a table. Staring blankly and uncomprehendingly at his
manservant, Hitler calls him a 'stupid peasant' and turns his back." "Linge
picks up the cyanide capsule and vainly tries to force it into Hitler's
mouth from behind--forcing the mouth open by closing his powerful middle
finger and thumb across the Fuhrer's mouth, from side to side in the
cheek pouch. Despite his feeble state, Hitler manages to turn his head
away from the strong grip and lower his head. Linge's increasingly
violent efforts can't succeed, even though he is by now half facing the
Fuhrer." "But the affront has been made, the first act of violence
committed. Savagely Linge turns the prematurely aged man around and
throttles (strangles) him from behind. Terrified, he holds up the Fuhrer
in front of him while the frothing stops and struggles cease." "He is
still holding the corpse almost at arm's length, when Stumpfegger comes
into the room... Stumpfegger beckons Linge to lay the corpse down on the
floor. Checking that Hitler is dead, he reaches in his pocket and
produces an ampule-crushing forceps. The cyanide capsule is quickly and
professionally crushed under Hitler's protruding tongue."
WHERE AND HOW HITLER'S BODY WAS DISPOSED OF
With
the Russians, marching through Berlin and almost literally at the door,
the surviving Bunker personnel had a very limited time to dispose of
Hitler's body, in accordance with his specific orders and/or
instructions. Unlike Mussolini, Hitler did not want the Russians/Allies
to have access to his recognizable corpse after death, for
display/mutilation/desecration. Here are some supposed eyewitness
accounts of key Bunker observers/participants concerning the final
disposal of Hitler's lifeless body: According to Linge, once the bodies
had been brought up into the garden (of the Chancellory) Linge, Gunsche
and Kempka began the cremation. Linge stated on February 10, 1956, "The
petrol which had been provided was then immediately poured over the
bodies (of Hitler and Braun). Besides myself, Gunsche and Kempka took
part in this. I emptied two cans. I do not know how many cans Gunsche
and Kempka emptied. Because of the heavy shelling, it was not possible
to ignite the petrol directly. The surrounding buildings were burning
and shells were coming in thick and fast. Standing in the exit from the
bunker, I therefore twisted a piece of paper into a spill which Bormann
lit with a match and which I then threw." "I do not recall whether
others also attempted to ignite the petrol. In any case, I did not see a
piece of cloth. When the petrol caught fire, a gigantic flame shot
upwards. We then observed the cremation through a slit in the closed
bunker door. One thing that stuck in my mind is that within a very short
while one of Eva Hitler's knees was lifted up. One could see that the
flesh of the knee was already being roasted. About eight minutes after
the cremation began I went back downstairs. Before that, all of those
present in the exit from the bunker had given Adolf Hitler a final
salute. I did not make any observations about the further progress of
the fire. I did not return to the site of the fire, nor did I learn
anything from the other sources..." By contrast, Kempka, recalling these
same events on December 2, 1953 recounted, "There were several cans of
petrol standing inside the exit from the bunker. I immediately picked up
one of these cans, went back outside and poured the contents over Adolf
Hitler, after I had moved his left arm, which was extended sideways,
closer to the body. I then jumped back into the exit and then emptied
two further cans over Adolf Hitler and Eva Hitler, while Gunsche and
Linge were similarly engaged. While this was going on, the garden was
still under very heavy fire. In the bunker exit we then discussed how to
light the petrol. Gunsche suggested throwing a hand-grenade, which I
rejected. We then found a large rag lying next to the fire hoses in the
exit. Gunsche picked this rag up. I opened a can still standing in the
exit and wet this rag with petrol." "Dr. Goebbels handed me a box of
matches. I lit the rag. Gunsche threw the burning rag on to Adolf and
Eva Hitler. They immediately caught fire, which burst into a mighty
flame. After we had saluted, we followed Goebbels back into the bunker.
I was not personally involved in the continuation of the cremation nor
did I make any personal observations with regard to this..." Gunsche,
the third person involved in setting fire to the bodies, stated on June
21, 1956, "When I turned back towards the bunker exit after I had put
the body of Eva Braun down, Kempka and Linge had already stepped out
with open cans of petrol in their hands. We three then poured petrol
onto the bodies; it is possible all of the nine or ten cans that had
been provided--these were Army cans holding 20 liters and they were
filled to the top--were emptied. Lighting the petrol presented a problem
because of the heavy shelling. Attempts with matches failed. I then
considered using a stick grenade which was available. While I was
unscrewing the cap I saw that Linge had already made a paper spill which
Bormann was in the process of lighting, Bormann then immediately threw
this spill outside, whereupon the bunker door was closed. While the door
was closing, a bright flare of fire could just be seen. I then remained
in the exit for a short while, and I again ordered Hofbeck not to let
anyone in or out. Subsequently I, like all the others, went back into
the bunker. Before leaving, each of us saluted, some from outside the
exit from the bunker, others from inside..."
Adolf Hitler's Death
Much speculation concerning the nature
of Hitler's demise was created by the contradictions in the various
"eyewitness" accounts of the death of Hitler and Eva Braun and the
disposal of their bodies. For example Hitler's butler Linge, on February
9. 1956, stated, "When we came into the living room Bormann and I saw
the following. The bodies of Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun were in a seated
position on the sofa standing against the wall opposite the door from
the antechamber." Bunker insider Otto Gunche, who entered Hitler's room
immediately after Linge and Bormann, gave the following description on
June 20, 1956: "Eva Braun was lying on the sofa standing against the
wall opposite the door from the antechamber. Hitler himself sat in an
armchair standing to the left and slightly forward--as seen from the
antechamber--but very close to the sofa." Why the difference in
accounts: Hitler and Eva on the couch, or Eva on the couch, and Hitler
in the chair. Did someone move Hitler, after death, from the chair to
the couch? Did one or the other of these witnesses lie, and, if so, why?
WHERE HITLER SHOT HIMSELF: Supposed
eyewitnesses offered different statements as to WHERE Hitler shot
himself. On September 2, 1955, frequent Bunker visitor Axmann stated,
"Based on the signs I found, I had to assume that Adolf Hitler had shot
himself in the mouth. For me the chin, which was pushed to the side, and
the blood trails on the temples caused by an internal explosion in the
head, all pointed to this. Later the same day SS-Sturmbannfuhrer Gunsche
confirmed my assumption. I stick to my statement based on the signs I
saw, that Adolf Hitler shot himself in the mouth." Gunsche, however, in
his June 20, 1956 testimony stated, "The head was canted(tilted)
slightly forward to the right. I noticed an injury to the head slightly
above the outer end of the angle of the right eyelid. I saw blood and a
dark discoloration. The whole thing was about the size of an old three
mark piece."
DID HITLER SHOOT HIMSELF OR WAS HE
SHOT? Linge, on February 9, 1956, stated, "I then went into the
antechamber to Hitler's room, where I found the door to his room closed
and smelt powder smoke." Gunsche, in his testimony stated, "After Hitler
and Eva Braun had withdrawn I took up a position in front of Hitler's
rooms. I then saw--I did not hear a shot--Linge open the door to
Hitler's office and Linge and Bormann go inside, I thereupon immediately
went into the antechamber myself." Gunsche found Hitler dead from a
gunshot wound, and Braun poisoned. But, if Gunsche was right outside the
door, why didn't he hear Hitler shoot himself? Were the doors/walls that
thick? Did a Russian artillery shell explosion outside mask the sound?
Did Linge or Bormann quickly shot Hitler, WITH A SILENCED PISTOL, before
Gunsche entered?
WAS HITLER'S BODY EVER FOUND?
What now actually became of Hitler's
body? To what extent was it burned? Did the Russians find anything
resembling a corpse? The burning of a corpse in the open is not of
course comparable to a cremation in a crematorium, and not even to the
burning of a body or parts of a body in a stove such as occurs from time
to time in criminal cases. During a cremation, the enveloping heat
reflected from the walls of the oven leads to the intensive destruction
of organic matter. If a corpse is burned in the open, as was the case
with Hitler and Eva Braun-Hitler, the distribution of heat varies and
consequently so does the depth of destruction, besides which much heat
is lost by radiation into the atmosphere. When a human body is burned in
the open by means of petrol, the first thing that burns off is the
extraneous petrol, which causes a strong heating up of the corpse. Then,
because they act like a wick, the fire spreads to the clothes, which
burn away more or less quickly depending on the nature and structure of
the fabric. When the open flames then act directly on the body surface
for a longer period of time, the final result is carbonization. During
the process, steam forms in the subcutaneous tissue and in the course of
the burning the pressure can rise dramatically, so that the body surface
bursts open in many places, like an overheated frozen burrito. The skull
can also burst from the same effect. The heat causes the protein in the
cells of the muscles to congeal, which then contract. This leads to
contortions of the arms or the lifting up and contracting of the upper
body and legs, which stay in this position because of posthumous heat
rigor mortis, which is called the "fencer's stance." The heat causes the
body fat to melt and the fatty acids released to run out of the gashes
in the skin. Because of the major loss of water and fat, the carbonated
corpse or torso shrinks to a substantial degree. If the burning
continues for an extended period of time, the soft tissue is almost
completely consumed. The only thing remains is fragile, calcified bones
that can easily disintegrate even without external force being applied.
As a result, it is very unlikely that anything resembling a human corpse
remained following Adolf Hitler's post-mortem burning. According to
Gunsche, "That Adolf Hitler was not completely burnt up with the help of
the petrol is correct. The remains were scattered and shell fire did the
rest... The heavy artillery and napalm fire went on until 2 May. Nothing
was left that could point to Hitler... Often I can only shake my head
about the claims of so-called witnesses, some of whom were not even
there and are only repeating hearsay from others as their own
observations. Maybe such claims, which were made immediately after the
end of the war and have been repeated in various versions, are the
answer to the fact that no one was in a position to prove what was left
of the Fuhrer's corpse and where this could be seen. None of the reports
about this can be proved: they are falsification... The destruction of
the Fuhrer's corpse and that of his wife was complete through various
causes." Therefore, it is most likely nonsense that the Russians, as
they claimed several weeks after his death, ever found Hitler's
body/corpse. To this day the Russians have not presented a single piece
of evidence that they found Hitler's corpse. Where are the authentic
photographs? Where is the allegedly lead-lined box with Hitler's
identifiable corpse? Why was this not shown to the German witnesses the
Russians had captured? Even though in 1945--and during their
reconstruction of the events in 1946--the Russians kept telling Linge,
Gunsche, Baur, Hofbeck, Henschel and the others that they would be
"confronted with Hitler's body," they never showed it to any of these
people. Flugkapitan Hans Baur said on November 24, 1995, "...After we
arrived in Berlin, I was interrogated by a Commissar I already knew
called Krause (Klausen), who had come with us from Moscow. This
Commissar held the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel . He told me that it was
now high time to decide what to do with the corpses. We would be shown
the bodies and should say whether we recognized any features which could
indicate the identity of Hitler or Eva Braun. Up to now the bodies had
been preserved. It was now time to decide if this should remain so or
whether they should be destroyed. A confrontation with the corpses did
not take place, however..."
The only person who claimed to have
seen Hitler's corpse is Harry Mengershausen. He recalled that, in early
June 1945, an inspection of "the place" where Hitler's corpse had
allegedly been buried took place. The crater had been dug up. We must
remember that the garden of the Chancellory and the area around the
bunker was a huge field of craters. That Mengershausen spoke of a
specific crater is already an indication that he was lying.
Mengershausen goes on to say that in early July he was taken from the
prison in Friedrichshagen to an open pit in woods nearby in order to
identify three corpses. Each of the corpses was by itself in a "small
wooden casket." The corpses had been those of Hitler and Herr and Frau
Goebbels. Mengershausen claims to have "clearly recognized" Hitler by
the shape of the head, the distinctive shape of the nose and the missing
feet. "From the distance" he had not been able to see if Hitler's jaw
had still been there. The whole "viewing of the bodies" had lasted for
less than two minutes. Once again, Mengershausen is telling a story--in
great detail as usual--that simply does not fit the circumstances. It is
impossible that Mengershausen was able to detect the "distinctive shape
of Hitler's nose." The nose, like all the other soft tissues of the
face, the torso and the extremities, must surely have burned away during
the relatively long cremation process. A skull that is exposed to strong
heat can preserve its bony shape for quite some time, but not its
distinctive features, which it takes from the soft tissue of the face.
There was another witness available in 1945, who had been as closely
involved in the final phase of the destruction of Adolf Hitler's and Eva
Braun's bodies as Harry Mengershausen, if not more closely. This witness
was Hermann Karnau, who was a prisoner of the British. On November 13,
1953, Karnau recounted, "In November 1945 I was taken from Esterwegwn to
Berlin. Here I was told by an officer of the Secret Service that I was
to lend a hand in the local search for Hitler's remains. However, this
did not take place because of the refusal of the Russians."
ADDITIONAL PERSPECTIVES: Adolf Hitler's Death
The burning of the bodies was also
witnessed by several men who were on guard duty on the garden side of
the bunker. They were Hofbeck, Karnau, and Mansfield. Each offer their
contrasting memories of the event. Hofbeck, who was on guard at the door
of the garden exit, stated on November 25, 1995..."Linge, Gunsche and
Kempka immediately poured petrol over the bodies. I had previously seen
some of the cans they used standing on the topmost turn of the
staircase. I don't know how much petrol was used, but it was probably at
least five, but no more than ten, cans full. While this was being done,
I was the one who let Kempka, Gunsche and Linge in and out of the exit
by opening and shutting the door for an instant each time. At the time
there was again heavy firing going on. After the cans had been emptied,
Dr. Goebbels, Bormann, General Krebs, General Burgdorf and Schadle as
well as Kempka each stepped outside the bunker door for a short moment
and saluted the dead by raising their right arms. Everybody involved
then quickly returned to the bunker, whereupon I again shut the door.
Immediately after this Bormann handed up a box of matches from the top
turning of the staircase, which Gunsche, Linge or Kempka took. Kempka
then wet a rag with petrol. Either he or Gunsche lit this rag and
Gunsche threw it on the bodies, for which purpose I again opened the
door. At this moment, the artillery fire had slackened. Through the
partially opened door of the bunker we then saw a huge flame rising up,
followed immediately by heavy smoke. After the bodies had been set
alight, all the people mentioned above returned to the interior of the
bunker. I remained on guard and again opened the door a short time
later, which however was only possible for a brief moment because heavy
petrol fumes and smoke blew towards me. There was a wind blowing towards
the exit. On opening the door I could see that the bodies were still
burning. I had the impression that they had shrunk together. On both
bodies the knees were drawn up somewhat. Being very much moved by this
experience, I gave over my post to one of my subordinates. At 2200 I
again had a look out of the door of the bunker. However, there was
nothing left to be seen of the bodies..."
Hermann Karnau described the burning
on November 13, 1953:"When I came near the garden exit, I chanced upon
two bodies lying next to each other in the open about 2 to 2.5m from the
exit. I immediately recognized one of these bodies as Adolf Hitler. It
was lying on its back wrapped in a blanket. The blanket was folded open
on both sides of the upper body, so that the head and chest were
uncovered. The skull was partially caved in and the face encrusted in
blood. The face, however, could still be clearly recognized. The second
corpse was lying with its back upwards. It was completely covered by the
blanket except for the lower legs. The lower legs were uncovered up to
the knees. On the feet I recognized Eva Hitler's shoes, which were
familiar to me from frequent encounters in the bunker. These were black
suede shoes." Mansfield was questioned on July 1, 1954 about what he had
seen of the events of April 30, 1945. He stated that he had to leave his
post in order to fetch his equipment from the guard's day room in the
bunker and described how he saw two bodies being carried up the stairs
and laid on the ground near the bunker exit. He clearly recognized Eva
Braun but did not recognize Hitler, owing to the body being wrapped in a
blanket. Mansfield further related: "Through the window looking towards
the bunker exit I saw several men of the Leibstandarte-- I believe I
recall that one of them was Jansen-- running towards the garden exit
from the Old Chancellery. The men were carrying petrol cans. I
immediately closed the shutter of the window looking towards Unter den
Linden in order to continue my observations. When I opened the shutter,
however, heavy clouds of smoke blew towards me, so I quickly closed it
again without having seen anything. Shortly after that I again opened
the shutter of the window looking towards the garden exit and now saw
that the bodies were burning brightly. I also saw several cans of petrol
being thrown out of the bunker exit to land near the bodies. There were
no people to be seen. Source: Coverups Group.
THE OTHER VERSION
The World was Lied to about
Hitler's Death
As the Third Reich collapsed in the spring of 1945, the Russians were the
first to enter Berlin and capture
Adolf Hitler's bunker. Then, the Soviet Union made a series of
contradictory statements or lies concerning Hitler's death. Stalin
announced to Truman during lunch in Potsdam on July 17, that Hitler did
not commit suicide but had probably escaped. After that, the Russians
released photographs of what they claimed to be Hitler's corpse on a dingy
floor. Finally, they asserted that
Hitler's
burnt remains, together with the body of his mistress Eva Braun, were
discovered on May 4, by Soviet soldiers outside the Berlin Chancellery
bunker, in the garden.
After 50 years, Russian officials said the photos of Hitler's corpse were
part of authentic military film footage from the Moscow Central Archive.
But the glasnost photos created more problems than they solved. The main
question is: whose body is really in the pictures -
was it Adolf Hitler
or his double? If it actually was Hitler, then the photos (or film
footage) must have been taken by someone inside the bunker before
Hitler's corpse was burned with gasoline in the Chancellery garden. It is
assumed that Red Army soldiers took the photos just after they
captured Berlin. Were these photos confiscated from Third Reich leaders or
printed from a camera deliberately left in the bunker? To confuse us, the
released
photos were sometimes published in reverse, from left to right, in a
mirror image, to misrepresent details. Were they retouched or manipulated?
Props were applied to the background, including a blurred female portrait
which in one photo appears on the dead man's chest. Reports also mention a
"group photo"
of soldiers standing around the corpse, which may have been moved between
photos. The man in the pictures has not been positively identified.
No other photos of Hitler's body were ever released by the Russians, who
insist they discovered his corpse and performed several autopsies to
positively identify him. How and why such an extremely important
forensic investigation could have been conducted in the 20th century,
without extensive photographic evidence, remains one of the great
mysteries of modern history. Surely, the world was lied to about Hitler's
death. Various Western
sources have reported that the dead body in the photo was Hitler's double
(or doppelganger), a man called Gustav who was executed with a gunshot to
the forehead. Some give his name as
Gustav Weber,
while other say he was
Gustav Weler. No further attempts were made to identify him. By
contrast, reports now circulate in Russia that an actor,
Andreas Kronstaedt, was the impersonator who had volunteered to die in
Hitler's place. This was the theme of the 1996 film, Conversation with
the Beast, directed by one of Fassbinder's followers, Armin
Mueller-Stahl. Meanwhile, in Germany some suspicion still points to
Julius Schreck, who was Hitler's favorite driver and party member
from 1921. He occasionally acted as Hitler's double because of their
resemblance. According to some reports, Schreck died in a traffic accident
in 1936. Other reports say that he died from an abscessed tooth fever. To
confuse matters more, Time magazine once wrote that Hitler's
alleged double was Heinrich Bergner who was killed in July, 1944 when a
bomb or hand grenade exploded under Hitler's table. Other publications
said that a
stenographer named Berger died when Colonel Claus Schenk Graf von
Stauffenberg planted a bomb under Hitler's chair on July 20, 1944, at his
headquarters in East Prussia. Some sources have oddly suggested that the
burnt corpse found in the Chancellery garden was that of SS-Gruppenfuehrer
Hermann
Fegelein, husband of Eva Braun's sister, Gretl, who was stripped of
his rank for committing treason and shot outside the Berlin bunker two
days before Hitler's suicide.
Rumors started to circulate about a double for Hitler. He was supposed to
be a total look-alike, and he was trained to "be" Hitler and was
supposedly going to die a martyr’s death on the battlefield so that Hitler
could be glorified without dying. - New
York Times 19 April 1945.
The erratic
rumors about Hitler's doubles were soon to be accepted by many as facts.
According to one report: "The doubles were given voice and movement
instruction, and they mastered Hitler's soft conversational voice and
distinctive walk. Their faces and dental work were altered, and even their
spines were broken in the same place where Hitler had been injured in the
First World War. German efficiency left nothing to chance.
But the
one thing that none of these doppelgangers could ever hope to duplicate,
was Hitler's hypnotic, charismatic public speaking style. His ability
to sway a crowd had never been matched or equaled. The doubles would be
good for public appearances, parties, or maybe meetings or briefings where
Hitler was not expected to have that much interaction with his
underlings." The
doubles would also be good for dying in place of Hitler, should the
occasion arise. When Newsweek magazine published an article named
Adolf Hitler's Double, in its March 13, 1939 issue, the editors
were only repeating an opinion that was already widely acknowledged by the
Allies. According to a recent Russian story,
"Goebbels had engaged six doubles to impersonate Hitler for purposes of
security and public appearances. After the capitulation of the
Third Reich, Hitler had to die for the sake of vindication. There could be
no doubt of his death."
Despite the intelligence reports,
many Western historians continued to maintain that Adolf Hitler committed
suicide in his Berlin underground bunker on April 30, 1945. Ironically, it
was not the evidence provided by Russia that convinced them, but
the testimony of
the obsessively devoted Nazis who were also present in the Chancellery
bunker when Hitler allegedly killed himself. Here is where their
futile pretence became a matter of imprudence: For they were primarily the
very same historians who insisted that the body shown in the annoying
Russian photos was a doppelganger killed by those Nazis in the Berlin
bunker who wanted to thwart Allied investigators. We were therefore
expected to believe that after committing the outright murder of a double
for the purpose of obstructing justice, our Nazi bunker guests were
nonetheless quite frank and honest in their eye-witness accounts of what
really became of Adolf Hitler.
Hence,
one witness
reported seeing a gunshot wound in Hitler's mouth, while others claimed it
was near the corner of his eye (some even hinted that Hitler's butler
strangled him and forced a cyanide capsule into his mouth). Pick a card,
any card. One witness described finding the body of Hitler perched limp
next to a dead Eva Braun on an elongated, upholstered sofa. But another
found Hitler's corpse sitting alone near a corner, on a chair by itself.
Mix and match.
Hitler's one-day marriage to Eva Braun was another sentimental enticement,
orchestrated to win our naive confidence. For only a worm could marry
a lovely woman, just to poison her a few hours later, and then escape with
a doppelganger's charred corpse left in his place. The unhappy couple,
together at last. The fact that a maid admitted seeing a Hitler look-alike
confined to the butler's pantry area was not considered to be of great
consequence. A question mark near the water pipes? And the murder of the
doppelganger was just another war technicality. Who did it? No doubt it
was one - or all - of our bunker guests. They would not stop even at
murder to perpetrate their Fuhrer's cover-up.
But by now, the
world was totally convinced of their honest integrity and humble desire to
satisfy our secret wish that Hitler should not have escaped justice.
Establishment
historians assured us that Adolf Hitler committed suicide in his Berlin
bunker, shortly after exchanging marriage vows with Eva Braun. No bullet
was ever found. But that does not matter. The blood stains on the sofa
were reportedly of the wrong blood-type. But such details need not concern
us. Hitler's entire body apparently vanished into thin air. But at least
we found his teeth, in the garden.
Dental assistants apparently identified them from X-rays
made public in 1968. And what was the actual
point of murdering the doppelganger on the floor? What was that cover-up
about if Hitler had already left a legally written will; a
historical document, stating that his body was to be "immediately
destroyed" by fire? We never thought of that. But since we must believe in
something, our Chancellery bunker guests were ingenious enough to
embellish us with such an entwined mass of information and confused
additions that we could now produce our own personal interpretations of
history; our own special views of faith.
Indeed, an entire
library of books may be filled with eye-witness accounts and so-called
proofs of Hitler's suicide. Most of the new printed works were merely
rehashed Berlin bunker testimonies, smoothed out to make a bit more sense,
and hopefully convince us by their sheer size of whatever we seriously
hope is true. But as one American military officer commented: "Upon
reviewing the actual facts, not a single insurance company would ever pay
out a cent to similar claims based on such scant, non-conclusive
evidence." With certainty, the world was lied to about Hitler's death.
What sort of cover-up was the actual purpose behind the murder of Hitler's
double?
The most prevalent opinion is
that the true motive was for Hitler to
escape: According to the Washington
Post, the US Office of Censorship intercepted a letter in July 1945
written from someone in Washington. Addressed to a Chicago newspaper, the
letter claimed that Hitler was living in a German-owned hacienda 450 miles
from Buenos Aires.
The US government gave this report enough
credibility to act on it, sending a classified telegram to the
American embassy in Argentina requesting help in following up the inquiry.
In his 1995 book
"The Greatest Illusion: The Death (?) of Adolf Hitler," Australian
historian Fred C. McKenzie summarizes how Stalin was adamant in his
conviction that Adolf Hitler still lived. In August of 1945, Stalin
personally accused the British of "concealing
the real, living Adolf Hitler in their sector of Berlin." A similar
inquiry currently being published by Oberbaum Verlag in Germany is
"Hitler's Double" by Walter Laufenberg, an award winning German
author who has written and published several novels.
The noted
British
surgeon Hugh Thomas is chief spokesman for the growing opinion that
not only Adolf Hitler had a doppelganger, but also Rudolf Hess and
Heinrich Himmler. Perhaps all of the top Reich leaders kept look-alikes as
part of a master contingency plan to escape unnoticed should the need
arise.
Dr. Thomas' doppelganger theory was finally investigated by Scotland Yard
and the final report now remains hidden from the public. A
hundred-year ban has been imposed on key facts concerning the so-called
deaths of certain Reich leaders.
Although inclined to doubt Thomas' doppelganger theory, L. Ingrams Jr.
describes what he believes to have been a
British plot to lure
Rudolf Hess to England using Ian Fleming, the creator of James Bond,
and the notorious occult Satanist Aleister Crowley: In Hugh Thomas' book,
The Murder of Rudolf Hess (1979) Thomas recalls his medical
examination of Rudolf Hess in 1973, while Hess was in Spandau Prison. He
believed that there was a difference between Hess' medical records from
World War I and the torso of the man imprisoned at Spandau. 'The torso
cannot lie' wrote Thomas, convinced that the Hess in Spandau was not the
real Rudolf Hess. "Ian
Fleming knew that Hitler, Himmler and Hess were all fascinated by the
occult, particularly Astrology, but also by Occultist
rituals. Secret Agents such as Frau Nagenast , an Astrologer who Hess
consulted and paid, were employed to produce charts that pointed to the
10th of May being a propitious moment for Hess to fly to Britain. Fleming
carefully made sure that the Astrological forecasts that Hess received
from his usual Astrologers contained very similar information. This was
accomplished using intrigue, bribery and forgery." Fleming, who was part
of the (ALSOS) mission to locate the Nazi nuclear site, hoped to arrange
a face-to-face meeting between Rudolf Hess and Aleister Crowley in
Britain. But Fleming's proposal was rejected by his superiors of higher
rank in the British Intelligence Department. According to a 1997 report by
Sean David Morton, a female Nazi Intelligence Officer named
Magda
Zeitfeld offered her services to the United States Government. She
worked in Berchtesgaaden, and was apparently one of Germany's top
intelligence agents. She had been sending the Allies information since the
spring of 1944, acting as a double agent, because the SS she worked for
had murdered her father and brother, under very mysterious circumstances.
Her
father had the biggest plastic surgery clinic in Berlin. He was a
pioneer in the field, and well financed by the Nazis, due to their
obsession with physical perfection, and was doing a landmark business. He
pioneered and specialized in implanted facial prosthetics, using highly
advanced silicates to build up weak jaws and noses to fit the German
fashion of chiseled strength. Three men, exceptionally high level Nazi
officials, were brought to her father's clinic under a veil of extreme
security and secrecy in the fall of 1943. Her father and brother were
required to drastically alter the appearance of each of the men.
Two weeks
after the "Men" left her family's clinic, and sufficient time had passed
to be sure there was no need to go back for follow up treatment, the
hospital was raided and the entire staff, including both Magda's father
and brother, were brutally murdered, and the clinic was burned to the
ground, files and all. Magda knew that it was the Nazi's who had done
this, in fact it was a division within the SS for whom she worked.
According to the report, two of the men were Martin Borman and Adolf
Hitler. Just as Himmler aimed to do, Adolf Hitler would escape from
Berlin disguised as a priest.
That Hitler did
undergo some sort of cosmetic surgery was independently confirmed in a
well-known 1942 Time magazine article about the Nazi leader. His
plastic surgery was also referred to by United Press Central European
manager Frederick C. Oechsner, and in the
Office of Strategic Services' Hitler Source Book.
The story broke
when some journalists began to notice a strange alteration in Adolf
Hitler's physical appearance, especially his nose. The SS immediately
released an official press dispatch stating that Hitler had his fat nose
streamlined by a plastic surgeon. That did not, however, explain why the
originally thin, straight nose of Corporal Hitler gave way to the large,
exaggerated nostrils of the Fuhrer. Other minor details of identification
no doubt had to be handled with care when dealing with a double. Exact
body height was very important: Eva Braun's statement regarding Hitler's
Munich-based double, that he
"wears built-up
shoes to overcome a height difference," possibly explains the 5 cm
height discrepancy of the body autopsied. Duplicating eye color accurately
also presented a perceptible doppelganger obstacle: In 1887 the first
contact lenses
were manufactured from glass and fit to cover the eyes. By 1939 contact
lenses were made from plastic. The wearing of dyed or tinted contact
lenses to change the apparent eye color did not become common until the
late 20th century. But colored contact lenses could have been easily
exploited as early as the First World War. Changing eye color was part of
the infamous research conducted by Joseph Mengele, the Nazi doctor of
Auschwitz.
Mengele had dye injected into the eyes of several subjects. Surprisingly,
the tell-tale fingerprint issue was not such a serious problem in the
early days of Nazism. Although various anthropologists and novelists had
toyed with the idea of
fingerprints as a form of identification in the 1800s, it was not
until 1924 that an act of congress established the Identification Division
of the FBI. But by then, Hitler already led the Nazi party. And later of
course, the Reich maintained full control over all fingerprints kept in
Germany's files. Hitler's burnt corpse had no surface skin to yield
fingerprints. In the end, only
Hitler's false teeth,
found with the Chancellery garden corpse fragments, provided some evidence
to satisfy the strict terms imposed by most modern insurance companies.
And that was still highly questionable, because a patient's bridgework
could easily be reproduced by an experienced dentist and deliberately
placed almost anywhere.
The key suspects of a possible
cover-up in the Berlin bunker were Heinz Linge, Hitler's valet, Otto
Gunsche, Hitler's Adjutant, Hans Baur, his personal pilot and Johann
Rattenhuber, the Chief of Bodyguards. They were all vigorously trained to
guard Hitler's personal secrets, even under the threat of torture and
death. And they would not hesitate to kill a doppelganger to complete
their Chancellery cover-up. However there was still one entity they could
not easily deceive or trick:
the polygraph or
lie-detector test. An instrument capable of continuously recording
blood pressure, respiration, and pulse rate was devised by John Larson in
1921, followed by the polygraph (1926) of Leonarde Keeler, and the
psychogalvanometer (1936) of Walter Summers, which measured electrical
changes on the skin. Because instruments were able to record bodily
changes resulting from the telling of a lie, it is likely that certain
testimonies, as witnessed by those in the bunker, were absolutely true.
Perhaps for
this reason, no one actually saw Adolf Hitler shoot himself. They
could only be called upon to describe what they did to dispose of the dead
body. Whose corpse they actually burned in the garden was a matter of
recognition, especially if Hitler's double was an exact look-alike. In
this way, even a lie-detector test could be beaten. Certainly, some of
the bunker guests presumably could not establish the difference between
Hitler and his doppelganger.
Photographic
Trickery and the Likelihood of Fraud
Was the same person in
both photos? Or was one a copy of the other?
To complete the cover-up, all
that was left to do was to reconstruct the very same scene, using one of
Hitler's doubles on the Berlin bunker floor, for the Russians to
discover."

A blurred portrait is visible in the
controversial photos of Adolf Hitler's "doppelganger suicide." In the
picture above on the left, the out of focus portrait was placed directly
onto the corpse. In the Russian movie footage frame on the right, the
blurred portrait appears as a prop in the background. This change of
position invites serious speculation that the body may also have been
moved, switched, or meddled with between photos.

The
out-of-focus portrait is almost certainly a photograph of Eva Braun.
It's size, contours, shadows, and range of luminance all bear marked
similarities to a now-famous series of photos probably taken by Heinrich
Hoffmann, who was Hitler's personal photographer and
"corporate" image maker. Eva Braun was Hoffmann's model and darkroom
assistant. Whoever included that portrait in the morbid bunker death scene
may have done so to lend authenticity to Hitler's suicide deception. But
instead of inspiring pity for the Fuhrer's parting gesture to the only
woman who could have known him, it cast a spotlight directly on Heinrich
Hoffmann's delight for photographic trickery and the likelihood of fraud.
The ridiculous presence of a Hoffmann pinup exactly on Hitler's own dead
body was almost an outright confession of photographic hocus-pocus, with
some help from Eva Braun.
 The
top right photo is how Hitler's suicide picture was shown in most
reports. Visible parts of his white shirt (below the blue arrow) suggest
that his vest-front was fastened or buttoned on the left side of his
uniform. But according to western
military dress regulations, the
side-fronts of vests, shirts, and coats should always be fasten with rows
of buttons located on the right side of the male soldier's uniform.The
confusing vest evokes the idea that the picture may have been
intentionally printed in reverse from left to right, to mirror the image
and misrepresent details of locality. The correct dress orientation is
in the bottom photo. Printing negatives backwards is a trick used by
portrait photographers to present desirable views because their subjects
are accustomed to seeing themselves in mirrors.
Was the same
person in both photos?
One of the
Hitler suicide photos displays greater contrast and sharper focus than
the other pictures. It may have been taken by a still camera with
well-defined exposure settings and better lens quality than the photos
which were printed from blurred Russian movie footage. The bunker room
lighting contrast is not identical in both pictures below. In the
well-defined photo (left), the shadows are dark enough to block out all
details under the chin. But the Russian film frame photo shows softer
shadows, allowing us to see skin tones and fabric textures in the shaded
regions. There is also a barely noticeable difference from the light
source (of just a few degrees) in the angle of the shadow which falls from
the nose to the mouth. In the Russian film frame photo (right), the angle
of the shadow is very slightly displaced toward the center of the upper
lip. If the Nazis did indeed produce a multiple fraud with
near-microscopic precision, it would have probably been the most
important, and expensive, cover-up in history. Remarkably, the
characteristic mustache which Hitler was well-known for is not clearly
discernible in either of the photos. Below are some other confusing
points:
The missing
mattress: In the well-defined photo (left), Hitler's corpse is laying
with his head at the corner of a stained mattress. But in the Russian
movie film frame (right), the mattress is not visible. Although the film
frame was shot from a different camera angle than the other photo, the
edge of the mattress should be visible above the body's shoulder or behind
his coat lapel. A portrait (of Eva Braun) on Hitler's body in the left
photo was moved to the background in the right frame. Perhaps the body and
other objects were also moved.

Was one
scene a reconstructed copy of the other?
The open
mouth: In the well-focused photo (left), Hitler's mouth is gaping wide
enough to expose a tooth or part of his tongue. His upper lip appears to
be cracked and smudged. But in the Russian film frame the mouth seems
almost shut, with no visible smudge marks on the upper lip. When a camera
lens is out of focus, details will appear blurred and lines will thicken
as the light rays scatter from edges and contours. This can be seen in the
apparently larger size of the forehead bullet wound in the blurred frame
on the right. Yet, the outline of the mouth does not appear to be thicker
or larger in that photo, but thinner and narrower than in the picture on
the left.
The mutilated
or cauliflower ear: The
anatomical structure of the external ear changes from person to
person. A doppelganger who may otherwise appear to be an exact look-alike
of someone else will probably have noticeable differences in the elevated
ring of cartilage on the external ear. The fleshy ear lobe may also
display separate features. As a means of removing undesirable clues, the
ear was apparently mutilated to avoid comparison. In both photos, the ear
seems thickened and deformed, perhaps by repeated blows.
|
In the
frame on the right, the corner of some
light-colored, rectangular object(s) can
be seen on the floor, just behind the back of Hitler's head. But the
converging edges of this flat-sided object are not visible in the
photo on the left. |

The reality of no floor object(s) seen
in one picture seems to indicate (together with the missing bloodstained
mattress) that Hitler's body may have been moved between photos. But if
so, it appears that the corpse was carefully lifted up and placed on the
floor again with near exact precision. This probably would have required a
team of photo-stylists to make sure each detail, including the folds on
both sides of the coat-front and the hanging strands of hair, matched as
much as possible in both pictures. Yet there is no reason why the Russian
Army would have contrived such a deception. It is more likely that one of
the two suicide photos was produced by a different camera, perhaps even in
a different bunker or at an earlier time. How the Soviets may have taken
possession of it remains a mystery. Various Reich military cameras were no
doubt found on the Chancellery bunker shelves and in pieces of luggage.
While it may not be
possible to determine if it's the same person in these photos, sufficient
evidence seems to indicate that
the body was moved
between photos. How far had Hitler's body been moved, just a few feet - or
almost two thousand kilometers
Avenging an Allied Hoax
If the man who
died in the Berlin bunker was actually Gustav Weber,
one of Hitler's
doubles whose body was found and photographed by the Russian Army,
then how did the real Adolf Hitler's corpse end up being burned in the
Chancellery garden? In 1943, the body of a Royal Marines captain was
washed ashore on the coast of Spain. His case contained the Allied
invasion plans for Europe.
The Germans
believed what they found. But little did they know that the body had
been packed in dry ice and dropped from a submarine as part of one of the
most elaborate hoaxes of the war. This war hoax became the subject of a
recent BBC documentary called
"The Corpse that Fooled the Axis." Based on the discovery of the
captain's body, the Germans erroneously concluded that the Allies planned
to attack Greece, rather than Sicily. It marked a major turning point in
the war and signaled the final downfall of Nazi power and control over
Fortress Europe. Since the Allied forces used a dead body to dupe and
defeat Germany, it may have been a tit for tat retaliation, to repay in
kind, for Nazi agents to do just the same thing with Hitler's corpse.
 |
Reich leaders
may have avenged the Allied hoax by packing Adolf Hitler's dead body
and transporting it from their hidden mountain Redoubt fortress to his
Berlin bunker garden, where it was incompletely destroyed by fire.
When the Russians finally pieced together the clues and discovered his
actual remains, it appeared to the Allies that Hitler had been in his
Berlin bunker all along, and probably died there. But it was really a
double who died in Berlin. Fooled by an Axis corpse? In this way, the
existence of the Nazi National Redoubt was never publicly
acknowledged, and its location was never revealed. Hitler's most
important and most dangerous doppelganger was able to escape
punishment, leaving behind him the bodies of Gustav and Adolf. |
The Final
Switch-Over
A few days
before Hitler's alleged 1945 suicide, some bunker guests began to
suspect that he was an impostor. According to reports, "all his movements
were those of a senile man" who appeared to be somewhat older than his
actual age. As if to celebrate imposture, during the last days of the war,
Germany launched "Operation Greif" (Skorzeny's Panzer Brigade 150) with
its men outfitted in American uniforms and driving captured American
tanks, trucks and jeeps. Thus, thousands of US soldiers as far away as
Paris had to be stopped by Allied military police and asked to prove their
nationality by telling who won the baseball World Series. Even Himmler was
later caught trying to pass through British and American lines between
Hamburg and Bremerhaven with his mustache shaved, wearing a black patch
over his left eye. Modern historians maintain that the Americans would
probably have reached Berlin before the Russians if Eisenhower had not
tried to find Hitler's Alpine mountain retreat. The Nazi National Redoubt
was assumed to have been somewhere near Hitler's "Eagle's Nest" mountain
villa, the Berghof in Berchtesgaden. It was rumored to have been stocked
with Nazi jets, rockets, and possibly nuclear weapons. Eisenhower's chief
of staff, General Bedell Smith, warned "of a prolonged campaign in the
Alpine area." But a Nazi Redoubt fortress was never found in the Alpine
mountains. To the Allies, Hitler's final war actions seemed absurd and
contradictory. While Berlin was being attacked by Russian troops from the
north, Hitler ordered an all-out counterattack in the southern suburbs of
Berlin, led by S.S. General Felix Steiner. Perhaps the actual reason for
that Nazi build-up was to form a column for the "final switch-over" to be
carried out. The authentic Hitler corpse and its death scene photo would
secretly be moved into the Berlin Chancellery bunker, from the hidden Nazi
southern Redoubt. The death scene setting would then be carefully
reconstructed on the Berlin bunker floor, with a murdered doppelganger,
while the real Adolf Hitler's last remains would be burned outside in the
garden. If such a final switch-over mission occurred it might answer a
critical question of the last days of the war: General Steiner did indeed
assemble a massive German arrangement of troops south of Berlin. But he
never launched a counterattack. What were the German troops really
there for? "The withdrawal of troops from the north of Berlin to
support Steiner had so weakened the front there that the Russians had
broken through and their tanks were now within the city limits." There
can be little doubt that Steiner's military column in the southern suburbs
of Berlin was privately linked to Obergruppenfuehrer Gottlob Berger, who
was head of Himmler's Prisoner-of-War Administration. Captured official
Nazi documents clearly stated that "important prisoners were being
moved." Eva Braun arrived in Berlin to join Hitler on April 15. The
last visitors to the Chancellery bunker were Hanna Reitsch, a crack woman
test pilot, and General Ritter von Greim. Those high ranking visits would
have provided the best cover for the final body switch-over, perhaps flown
in and regulated by "an unidentified S.S. orderly." We also know that
Hitler's double or doppelganger was in the Berlin bunker at that time. On
April 30, for example, at about 2:30 in the morning, it was probably a
doppelganger who emerged from Hitler's private quarters and appeared in
the general dining passage where some 20 persons were assembled. He walked
speechlessly down the line shaking their hands with tears in his eyes.
Then, an uncanny "party" began in the canteen which went on through the
night. Hitler's so-called suicide finally took place at about 3:15 in the
afternoon. Shortly after 3:30 Heinz Linge and an unidentified S.S. orderly
carried out a male body to the Chancellery garden, wrapped in a blanket.
Martin Bormann immediately sent messages to Hitler's successor, Admiral
Doenitz, notifying him that he was now the new leader of Germany. Yet
Bormann did not even once mention to Doenitz that the Fuhrer was dead. Was
he? Meanwhile, the Goebbels family, also temporarily living in the Berlin
bunker, decided to poison their six children. An
unidentified S.S. orderly then supposedly killed Goebbels and his
wife with two shots in the garden, at their request. The rest of the
guests made efforts to escape along the subway. In a ghastly display of
villainous irony to avoid punishment, an "important prisoner" was moved
for the last time and finally put to rest; deserted by everyone, betrayed
by all. "Nothing remains. Every wrong has already been done me." Source:

THE PEARL HARBOR DECEPTION:
The Bombing of Pearl Harbor
Beyond a doubt Pearl Harbor was President
Franklin D. Roosevelt’s back door into the European War.

On 7 December 1941 the greatest
disaster in United States history occurred. Truly this was and is, “’A
date which will live in infamy.’”(Costello 1), but not for the bombing
of Pearl Harbor, rather for the deception and the mis-guidance used by
the Government and Franklin D. Roosevelt. In a purely artificial chess
game Roosevelt sacrificed over 2400 American Seamen’s lives, thanks to
his power as Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces. By over-looking
the obvious facts of an attack by Japan on Pearl Harbor, Roosevelt was
able to control both the political and economic systems of the United
States. Most of American society before the Pearl Harbor bombing
believed in the idea of isolationism.
Franklin D. Roosevelt knew this, and
knew the only way in which United States countrymen would take arms
and fight in Europe’s War was to be an overt action against the United
States by a member of the Axis Power. Roosevelt also believed Hitler
would not declare war on the United States unless he knew they were
beatable. There are numerous accounts of actions by Roosevelt and his
top armed forces advisors, which reveal they were not only aware of an
attack by Japan, but also they were planning on it, and instigating
that attack. On 7 October 1940, Lieutenant Commander Arthur H.
McCollum, head of the Far East desk of the Office of Naval
Intelligence, wrote the eight-action memo. This memo outlined eight
different steps the United States could do that he predicted would
lead to an attack by Japan on the United States. The day after this
memo was giving to Franklin D. Roosevelt, he began to implement these
steps. By the time that Japan finally attacked the United States at
Pearl Harbor on 7 December 1941, all eight steps had occurred (Willy
1). The eight steps consisted of two main subject areas; the first
being a sign of United States military preparedness and threat of
attack, the second being a forceful control on Japans trade and
economy. The main subject area of the eight-action memo was the sign
of United States military preparedness and threat of attack. McCollum
called for the United States to make arrangements with both Britain
(Action A) and Holland (Action B), for the use of military facilities
and acquisition of supplies in both Singapore and Indonesia. He also
suggested for the deployment of a division of long-range heavy
cruisers (Action D) and two divisions of submarines (Action E) to the
Orient.
The last key factor McCollum called
for was to keep the United States Fleet in the vicinity of the
Hawaiian Islands (Action F). Roosevelt personally took charge of
Action’s D and E; these actions were called “pop up” cruises.
Roosevelt had this to say about the cruises, “’I just want them to
keep popping up here and there and keep the Japs guessing (Stinnett
9).’” With the fleet located around Hawaii and particularly in Pearl
Harbor a double-sided sword was created; it allowed for quicker
deployment times into South Pacific Water, but more importantly it
lacked many fundamental military needs, and was vulnerable due to its
geographic location. To understand the true vulnerability of Pearl
Harbor one must look at Oahu, the Hawaiian Island that the military
base is located. The North part of the island is all mountains, these
mountains hinder the vision of military look out points, making an
attack from the North virtually a surprise until the sound of fighter
planes are over head. There were many key military needs that were
missing from Pearl Harbor, and they were; a lack of training
facilities, lack of large-scale ammunition and fuel supplies, lack of
support craft such as tugs and repair ships, and a lack of overhaul
facilities such as dry-docking and machine shops. Commander in Chief,
United States Fleet - Admiral James O. Richardson, was outraged when
he was told by President Roosevelt of his plans on keeping the fleet
in Hawaiian Waters.
Richardson knew of the problems and
vulnerability of Pearl Harbor, the safety of his men and warships was
paramount. In a luncheon with Roosevelt, Richardson confronted the
President, and by doing so ended his military career. Four months
later Richardson was removed as commander-in-chief, and replaced by
Rear Admiral Husband Kimmel (Stinnett 11). Kimmel by many top Naval
personal was looked down upon on, for taking orders from Roosevelt and
not considering the immediate dangers he was putting the fleet in. The
second part of McCollum’s eight-action memo was a forceful control on
Japans trade and economy. He insisted that the Dutch refuse to grant
Japanese demands for oil (Action G), and a complete embargo of all
trade with Japan (Action H), by the United States. This embargo
closely represented a similar embargo that was being imposed by the
British Empire. McCollum also knew that if Japan controlled the
Pacific, it would put a strain on America’s resources for copper,
rubber, tin, and other valuable goods. These imports from the Pacific
were all essential to America’s Economy, and to protect these trading
routes McCollum insisted for all possible aid to be given to the
Chinese government of Chiang Kai-shek (Action C). Japan had some
control over China due to a military operation, which took over part
of the country. Thanks to the control, Japan took and used many raw
goods from China that were not in abundance in their own homeland.
The government of Chiang Kai-shek
was completely against Japan, and with economic support from the
United States, they were able to deny certain possessions from Japan.
The United States Government and United States Navy by withholding
important information about the bombing of Pearl Harbor have done
everything they can do to protect the integrity of President Franklin
D. Roosevelt and the government. True nationalist believe this
information is withheld from the general public in order to protect
national security, and not to hide a conspiracy that was created by
the United States Government some fifty years ago. This school of
thought asks people and wants them to think, “How in the world could
the President of the United States sacrifice over 2400 American
seamen’s life’s, horrific amounts of damages to the Fleet, and
tremendous amounts of destruction to Army fighter planes?” This group
also asks, “In the past fifty years why has there not be one single
piece of hard evidence which links Roosevelt to Pearl Harbor, or why
has there not been one person who had top security clearance to come
out and say something about Roosevelt and his involvement with the
bombing?” On 5 December 1941 at a Cabinet meeting, Secretary of the
Navy Frank Knox said, “Well, you know Mr. President, we know where the
Japanese fleet is?” “Yes, I know, …Well, you tell them what it is
Frank,” said Roosevelt (Toland 294). Knox became extremely excited
with the ok from Roosevelt, and he went to tell the group of where the
Japanese were and where they were headed. Just as Knox was about to
speak Roosevelt interrupted saying, “ We haven’t got anything like
perfect information as to their apparent destination (Toland 294).”
All Navy reports showed the Japanese were in Pacific Water, and were
in a direction towards Hawaii and Pearl Harbor. Roosevelt knew this
information, but one must wonder why in the world would he not want to
tell his cabinet this information, unless he wanted to hide something?
On 6 December 1941 at a White House dinner Roosevelt was given the
first thirteen parts of a fifteen part decoded Japanese diplomatic
declaration of war and said, “This means War (Toland 318).”
Later that night, Roosevelt along
with top advisor Harry Hopkins, Henry Stimson, George Marshall,
Secretary of the Navy Knox, with aides John McCrea and Frank Beatty
deliberately sat through the night waiting for the Japanese to strike
Pear Harbor (Toland 320). Not until the morning of 7 December 1941 at
7:55 Hawaii Time did Japan deliberately and forcefully attack the
United States at Pearl Harbor, finally ending disillusioned
isolationist ideas of an only European War. United States countrymen
immediately ran to recruiting offices after the news of the attack, to
join the armed forces and fight against the Japanese and Hitler.
Beyond a doubt Pearl Harbor was
President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s back door into the European War.
Roosevelt’s decisions and actions were very much so, deliberate and
calculated, in order to lead a victorious Allied Powers in World War
II. By provoking the Japanese and the foreknowledge of an attack on
Pearl Harbor, Roosevelt along with his top advisors and the Federal
Government are truly to blame for the lost of American life’s and
American property. 7 December 1941 shall be a day in American history,
which will be remembered as “a day of deceit.”

VATICAN'S WORLD NEW ORDER CONSPIRACY
Vatican City's hermetically-sealed environs have long served
as a global power nexus and a subterranean conspiracy
breeding ground. Silent brotherhoods like the shadowy Opus
Dei and the legendary Knights of Malta have covertly served
the interests of the ruling elite under the supreme aegis of
the Holy See. As millions of Catholics revolt against John
Paul II's unfaltering dogmatism, a widening sociopolitical
chasm has grown between the pontiff and his dwindling flock.
To ward off a growing exodus of disaffected communicants,
the holy one is turning to an emerging trio of
fundamentalist sects which claim 30 million adherents to
wage a widespread jihad against "a world dominated by
secularized culture." Communion and Liberation (C& L), led
by the enigmatic Don Giussani, came to prominence in the
early 1970s as a conservative reaction to the student
revolts that swept Italy in 1968. Although derided as
"Stalinists of God" and "Wojtlya's Monks" because of their
fervent devotion to Papal hegemony, the Milanese priest and
his organization have enjoyed an unparalleled ascendancy
under John Paul II. Focolare, another rising ecclesiastical
movement, dates back to WWII, when Chiara Lubich, their
Internationally recognized founder, formulated the central
tenets of her unique spiritual vision. The diminutive
octogenarian ascribes the rapid growth of her lay
organization, which has followers in over 190 countries, to
God himself. "The structure of the movement, more than being
suggested to us by human ideas, was inspired by a charisma
that is a gift of God," she writes. Neo-catechumenate, led
by Kiko Arguello, the movement's guitar-strumming shepherd,
was launched in the shantytowns of the Madrid ghettos in the
mid-1960s. After relocating to Italy, Arguello's teachings
spread like wildfire throughout South American and parts of
Europe. Despite widespread acclaim, the three movements have
their detractors. "Many of their main characteristics
reflect those of Mao's Red Guards - the fanaticism, the
blind obedience, the sloganeering, the personality cult
around the Pope, manipulation of the media,
anti-intellectualism, denunciations, the formulation of
rigid ideology, a younger generation mobilized in the
struggle against their elders," asserts Gordon Urquart in
The Pope's Armada (New York: Prometheus Books, 1999).
The Vatican scholar is specifically
concerned with these movements' authoritarian structure, and
their use of ritual group confession, clandestine rites, and
secretive ceremonies. In response, the well-connected
defenders of these newly sanctified evangelicals have
mobilized to play down such criticism. "Silence, fasting,
cutting oneself off from one's former friends and associates
to devote oneself to God, laboring to bring the Gospel to
the ends of the earth, all of these behaviors are seen as
fanatical, irrational, cult-like. But these are behaviors
that Catholics honor and praise in St. Benedict, St. Francis
of Assisi and St. Thomas More," asserted Robert Moynihan,
Inside the Vatican editor, in a Time magazine
article (1997) discussing controversial religious movements.
Monsignor Paul-Josef Cordes of the Pontifical Council of the
Laity utilizes apocalyptic imagery to describe this newly
radicalized Catholic sub-current. Cordes has publicly stated
that the movements will be invaluable participants in what
will be "not just a purely human battle about words or
ideas," but a "great theo-dramatic battle" that will soon
ensue across the globe. Whether or not the Papal aristocracy
will succeed in instituting their theological "New World
Order" remains to be seen. The monolithic faith has long
remained an authoritarian redoubt for despots throughout
history, both within and outside Vatican circles. With this
cautionary fact in mind, few doubt that the power,
influence, and sheer numbers of these autocratic thought
crusaders has potential to reshape geopolitical and
ecclesiastical landscapes for years to come. By Cleus

MORE CONSPIRACY
THEORIES
PEARL HARBOR ATTACK: THE
GREAT DECEPTION
Did FDR know in advance? Was there a cover up when the truth was
revealed? truth was revealed?
To better
understand why events such as September 11, 2001 are allowed to
happen, one can look all the way back to December 1941. On the
evening of December 5, 1941, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, the
president of the United States, received a message intercepted by
the U.S. Navy. Sent from Tokyo to the Japanese embassy in
Washington, the message was encrypted in the top-level Japanese
"purple code." But that was no problem. The Americans had cracked
the code long before that. It was imperative that the president see
the message right away because it revealed that the Japanese, under
the heavy pressure of Western economic sanctions, were terminating
relations with the United States. Roosevelt read the thirteen-part
transmission, looked up and announced, "This means war." He then did
a very strange thing for a president in his situation. NOTHING. On
December 6, 1941, at a Cabinet meeting, Secretary of the Navy Frank
Knox said, "Well, you know Mr. President, we know where the Japanese
fleet is." "Yes, I know" said FDR. " I think we ought to tell
everybody just how ticklish this situation is. We have
information...Well, you tell them what it is, Frank", said FDR. Knox
became very excited and said, "Well, we have very secret information
that the Japanese fleet is out at sea. Our information is..." and
then a scowling FDR cut him off. The very next day, Pearl Harbor
was attacked. The Japanese declaration of war never reached the
people who needed to hear it the most, Admiral Husband E. Kimmel,
commander in chief of the United States Pacific Fleet at Pearl
Harbor Hawaii, and the unit's commanding general, Walter Short.
Pearl Harbor, it was common military knowledge, was where the
Japanese would strike. If they struck. At dawn the next morning a
Japanese squadron bombed Pearl Harbor and the surprise attack was
just that, a complete surprise to Kimmel and Short and the 2,575
American servicemen who died. It was not a surprise to FDR, Generals
George C. Marshall, Leonard T. Gerow, Admirals Harold R. Stark and
Richmond Kelly Turner. They were the military's top brass in
Washington and the only officers authorized to forward such
sensitive intelligence to outlying commanders.
But the
decoded war declaration did not reach Kimmel and Short until after
the attack was well underway off in the Pacific. Internal army and
navy inquiries in 1944 held Stark and Marshall derelict of duty for
keeping the Hawaiian commanders in the dark. But the military buried
those findings. As far as the public knew, the final truth was
uncovered by the Roberts Commission, headed by Justice Owen Roberts
of the Supreme Court, and convened eleven days after the attack.
Like the Warren commission headed by a Supreme Court justice on a
different topic more than twenty years later, the Roberts Commission
appeared to have identified its culprits in advance and
gerrymandered its inquiries to make the suspects appear guilty. The
scapegoats were Kimmel and Short, who were both publicly crucified,
forced to retire, and denied the open hearings they desired. One of
the Roberts Commission panelists, Admiral William Standley, would
call Roberts's performance "crooked as a snake." There were eight
investigations of Pearl Harbor altogether. The most spectacular was
a joint House-Senate probe that reiterated the Roberts Commission
findings. At those hearings, Marshall and Stark testified,
incredibly, that they could not remember where they were the night
the war declaration came in. But a close friend of Frank Knox, the
secretary of the Navy, later revealed that Knox, Stark, and Marshall
spent most of that night in the White House with Roosevelt, awaiting
the bombing of Pearl Harbor and the chance for America to join World
War II.
A widespread
coverup ensued. A few days after Pearl Harbor, reports historian
John Toland, Marshall told his top officers, "Gentlemen, this goes
to the grave with us." General Short once considered Marshall his
friend, only to learn that the chief of staff was the agent of his
frame-up. Short once remarked that he pitied his former pal because
Marshall was the only general who wouldn't be able to write an
autobiography. There were multiple warnings of the Pearl Harbor
attack concealed from the commanders at Pearl Harbor. The Winds Code
was perhaps the most shocking. That was an earlier transmission, in
a fake weather report broadcast on a Japanese short-wave station. It
was "east wind, rain." The Americans already knew that this was the
Japanese code for war with the United States. The response of top
U.S. military officials? To deny that the "winds" message existed
and to attempt to destroy all records of its reception. But it did
exist. And it was received. Completely apart from the cloak and
dagger of cryptography, the Australian intelligence service, three
days before the attack, spotted the Japanese fleet of aircraft
carriers heading for Hawaii. A warning went to Washington where the
spin by Roosevelt was that it was a politically motivated rumor
circulated by Republicans. A British double agent, Dusko Popov, who
siphoned information from Germany, learned of the Japanese
intentions and desperately tried to warn Washington, to no avail.
And there were others. Why would Roosevelt and the nation's top
military commanders sacrifice the U.S. Pacific Fleet, not to mention
thousands of servicemen - an act of treason? They had concluded long
before Pearl Harbor that they wanted a war against the Axis powers.
The attack at Pearl Harbor would surely trick the American public
into accepting a war they would have otherwise rejected. Roosevelt
believed that provoking Japan into an attack on Hawaii was the only
way that he could overcome the powerful America First non
interventionist movement led by aviation hero Charles Lindbergh.
These
anti-war views were shared by 80 percent of the American public from
1940 to 1941. A Small group of men, revered and held to be most
honorable by millions, had convinced themselves that it was
necessary to act dishonorably, commit treason, allow thousands of
American's to be killed, and incite a war that Japan had tried to
avoid. Why did Roosevelt
want to enter into World War II? Was it to defeat the tyranny of
Hitler? Stalin, who was our partner during the war, was more
vicious, sadistic, and tyrannical than Hitler. Was it to stop the
aggression of the Japanese? Before the war, this country did
everything it could to give Japan no choice and to goad them into
waging war. Besides the fact that the trillion dollar International
War Machine NEEDS events like Pearl Harbor, AND September 11, 2001,
to stay in business, and justify it's existence, you must realize
that Roosevelt was a 33rd degree mason. That is the highest level
one can attain in the satanic Masonic order. One of objectives of
the lucifer worshipping Masonic order is to establish a one world
government, with the hidden elite in charge. After World War I these
people tried, and failed, to start a one world government
organization, The League of Nations. Realizing they would need
another world war to finally create such an organization, they
manipulated world events, created World War II, and created the
United Nations, another tool for the final phase of one world
government, with these hidden elite pulling the strings. Roosevelt
was just one in a long line of American leaders who have been 33rd
degree masons, from many of our founding fathers, to more recent
examples, such as George Bush, Bob Dole, Jessie Jackson, and many
more. The Great Seal of the United States includes the classic
Brotherhood (Prison Warden) symbols which go back to ancient Egypt
and beyond, including the pyramid and all-seeing eye. Above and
below this symbol are two Latin phrases, Annuit Coeptis and Novus
Ordo Seclorum. These translate as "Announcing the birth, creation,
or arrival" of "A New Order of Ages". In other words, announcing the
creation of the New World Order. Today, this part of the seal can be
found on every US one dollar bill, and of course, this is
appropriate, given that the Hidden Elite controls the American AND
world economy. Source: The Northstarzone.

The Philadelphia Experiment
INTRODUCTION:
The subject of the so-called
"Philadelphia Experiment" originally created quite a stir in the late
70s. At a time when the Bermuda Triangle, cattle mutilation, and
Pyramid Power were attracting much attention, the Philadelphia
Experiment carved out its own niche in the weird science field. At one
time, actor Richard Dreyfuss planned to makes a movie on the topic,
but that never came to pass. Eventually, The Philadelphia Experiment
WAS the inspiration for two movies, one in the 80s ("The Philadelphia
Experiment") and the other in the 90s ("The Philadelphia Experiment
2"). Almost twenty years after its debut in the general public's
awareness, however, little is currently available on the subject. A
search of two major chain bookstores, and two decent libraries, turned
up nothing on the shelves. Eventually a library was able to special
order ONE book, published in 1979, from another branch.
HERE'S THE BEEF: The apparent
primary source for data about the so-called "Philadelphia Experiment"
came from ONE man, the mysterious Carlos Miguel Allende. According to
authors William L. Moore and Charles Berlitz in their influential, if
speculative, 1979 book, "The Philadelphia Experiment: Project
Invisibility," Allende's main statements/writings can be summarized
thusly: 1. Dr. Albert Einstein's Unified Field Theory was in fact
completed in 1925-7, but Dr. Einstein withdrew it because he was
allegedly "horrified" by the possible uses it might be put to by a
mankind not yet ready for it. This, according to Allende, could be
confirmed by "Dr. B. Russell." 2. During World War II, the concepts of
the Unified Field Theory were tested by the Navy, "with a view to any
and every possible quick use of it, if feasible, in a very short
time." Someone called Dr. Franklin Reno, a man Allende refers to as
"my friend," allegedly had something to do with producing "results" at
this stage of the game. 3. The "results" thus produced were used to
achieve "complete invisibility of a ship, destroyer type, and all of
its crew, while at sea (October, 1943)" by means of some sort of
energy or force field which had been created around the ship. The men
on the ship were apparently able to see one another vaguely, but all
that could be seen by anyone outside of the field was "the clearly
defined shape of the ship's hull in the water." The effects of this
invisibility-creating force field upon the men involved were,
according to Allende, "disastrous." The experiment, he says, was a
complete success, but the men were complete failures! 4. There was a
special berth for the experimental ship at the Philadelphia Navy Yard.
5. A small item once appeared in a Philadelphia newspaper which would
verify the tale. This supposedly described the "sailors" activities
after their initial voyage" when they "raided" a local bar, allegedly
the "Seamens Lounge," and where they presumably were either still
exhibiting the effects of the field, or proceeded to discuss the
experiment in such graphic terms that it terrified the waitresses. One
is left to assume that the Shore Patrol was called and that some
reporter picked up the story and wrote it up without quite believing
it. 6. Allende himself claimed to have observed at least portions of
this experiment while at sea on board the Liberty Ship S. S. Andrew
Furuseth, a Matson Lines ship out of Norfolk. This was sometime in
October,1943. According to Allende, other men who were deck at the
time and witnessed the tests were: Chief Mate Mowsely; Richard "Splicey"
Price, an eighteen-or -nineteen-year-old sailor from Roanoke,
Virginia; a man named "Connally" from New England (possibly Boston).
7. Rear Admiral Rawson Bennett, Navy Chief of Research, could
supposedly verify that the experiment had in fact occurred. 8. The
experimental ship also somehow mysteriously disappeared from its
Philadelphia dock and showed up only minutes later in the Norfolk
area. It then subsequently vanished again only to reappear at its
Philadelphia dock.
Total elapsed time--a matter of
minutes. Allende said he only heard about this phase of it, and that
may have been as late as 1946 "after the experiments were
discontinued." 9. Allende indicated that the Office of Naval Research
was under the direction of "the present (at the time of the
letter--1956) boss of the Navy, Burke" at the time that the
force-field experiments were conducted, and that it was because of his
"curiosity and willingness and prompting that this experiment was
enabled to be carried out." This Burke was described by Allende as a
man who possessed a very positive attitude toward research. 10.
Finally, in addition to his then current address, Allende also
supplied Jessup with the following data about himself: his presumed
merchant sailor's Z number, Z416175; the fact that he served on the
S.S. Andrew Furuseth for some six months; and that he considered
himself as "something of a dialectician" and "star gazer" and in
addition he traveled a great deal "around the country."
WHAT'S IN A NAME: Even the
name of The Philadelphia Experiment is not what it seems. According to
Moore and Berlitz, "Exactly why or how the ship experiment outlined in
the Allende letters came to be called the Philadelphia Experiment is
not exactly known, although it is certain that the designation is
definitely not an official one. As far as is known there has never
been a military undertaking of any sort which used that project title.
It is more likely that the name arose out of the need of one or more
of the early researchers into the matter to call it something; and
since at least a portion of the project allegedly took place at the
Philadelphia Navy Yard, it seemed only appropriate to refer to the
entire affair as the Philadelphia Experiment. In any event the name
stuck, and we might as well continue to use it."
THE NAVAL PERSPECTIVE: According to
the Department of the Navy, in a document dated July 23, 1976, "As for
the Philadelphia Experiment itself, ONR (Office of Naval Research) has
never conducted any investigations on invisibility, either in 1943 or
at any other time. In view of present scientific knowledge, our
scientists do not believe that such an experiment could be possible
except in the realm of science fiction, A scientific discovery of such
import, if it had in fact occurred, could hardly remain secret for
such a long time."
CONCLUSION: There is reason to believe that
The Philadelphia Experiment may never have occurred. Since the primary
source for this story relies on the statements of ONE man, Carlos
Allende, with little to back up his claims, the Philadelphia
Experiment may very well be the Naval equivalent of an Urban Myth: a
story that many people believe is true, but is in fact a myth. Source:

Why did Hitler
and Nazis hate Jews and want to kill them?
There are many
contributing factors. Here are some points to consider:
-
Jealousy. Some Jews were successful and held powerful positions
in Austria and Germany in the 1920s and 1930s. At the same time,
the world was suffering in the Great Depression. For various
reasons, including war reparations for World War I, Germany was
being hit the hardest by the worldwide economic depression.
Successful Jews were envied and blamed for "taking German jobs."
-
During World War I, communism was on the rise. Lenin's
Revolution had forced Russia out of the war. The German Army at
times faced near rebellion among their own troops. This
contributed to Germany being forced to sue for peace. Since some
socialist/communist leaders were Jewish this was exploited as
another reason for Germans to hate Jews. Hitler often spoke of
Bolshevik (communist) Jewry. There is still a strong association
in people's minds between Jews and leftism.
-
Hitler and other Germans absorbed some of their parents' racism.
Anti-Semitism has a long history.
-
Some Germans held to the belief that "Jewish bankers" were
responsible for the Treaty of Versailles because they stopped
funding WWI.
-
The Balfour Declaration of 1917 supposedly proves that Jews
betrayed Germany in World War I. According to one who holds this
theory, "During the Great War (World War I), members of the
Zionist Jewish elite bartered with England and promised to bring
the United States into the war in exchange for Palestine. This
is the root cause of the belief that the Jews contributed to the
defeat and subsequent economic rape of Germany in the post-war
years."
-
Jews became a scapegoat for all of Germany's economic problems.
(According to this racist sentiment, "international Jewish
financiers like the Rothschilds, Oppenheimers, Bilderbergs,
etc., plunged the world into a war for their business profit.")
-
Hitler and many Nazis were influenced by an anti-Semitic book
called "Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion."
-
Some claim that Hitler's mother was half-Jewish and he was
ashamed of this. (Hitler's grandmother on his father's side was
a housekeeper in the home of a Jewish family. When she left she
was pregnant with his father.)
-
A
rumor says that in Hitler's youth he slept with a Jewish
prostitute and contracted syphillis.
-
Some say Hitler may have hated Jews so much because of his
mother's death. She died in a hospital and the doctor may have
been Jewish. There is a story that the Jewish doctor needed to
examine Hitler's mother's breast because she had breast cancer.
Hitler resented the man touching his mother intimately.
Alternately, he hated the doctor for not being able to save
her.)
-
Hitler lived in Vienna from 1907 to 1913 and those were the most
difficult years of his life. Hitler was trying to become an
Architect or to make himself a name in field of arts. He was
twice rejected from the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts. The second
rejection by the Academy was one of the most traumatic
experience of his life; all his dreams were shattered. After
discovering that four out of seven professors that rejected him
were Jewish he blamed the Jews for his failure.
-
The Nazis had a vision of an Aryan German race that did not
include Jews and many other groups of people.
-
Here is an example of Hitler's anti-Semetic racism from a speech
given in Munich in July 1922: "His is no master people; he is an
exploiter: the Jews are a people of robbers. He has never
founded any civilisation, though he has destroyed civilisations
by the hundred...everything he has stolen. Foreign people,
foreign workmen build him his temples, it is foreigners who
create and work for him, it is foreigners who shed their blood
for him."
-
Jewish communities tend have a very strong group collective
mindset. They differentiated themselves from other Germans. This
made them easier to single out for hatred.
-
Some say Hitler and the Nazis were simply opportunistic
demagogues. Inciting hatred of the Jews was the means to an end.
The Nazis used hatred of the Jews to unify the German people and
create a new German empire. Nothing unites a people more than
when they believe they are constantly under attack and fighting
a common enemy. The Jews were convenient enemies. After
propogating this idea of Jews being the scum of the earth so
passionately, Hitler and the Nazis may have deluded themselves
into believing it more deeply.
-
The Christian religions blamed the death of Christ on the Jews.
One can see in the Bible the statement that the Jews demanded
the death of Jesus, and said, "let it be upon our heads and that
of our children." This became an excuse to abuse the Jews for
more than a thousand years. It was not until the 1960's (I
think) that the Catholic Church stated that the Jews were NOT to
blame for the death of Jesus.
-
In the 1930s there was a lot of anti-Jewish feeling and
resentment in the Western world. Many Jews who wanted to escape
the persecution in Germany were refused entry into the US and
other European countries.
-
As a nationalist party, any group that felt it had a higher
loyalty than the nation was going to be in for trouble. This is
why the Nazis tried to suppress all religion, and even set up
its own secular Church. Jews tended to have family links outside
Germany, especially in Russia or the US, which would make them
much harder to indoctrinate with nationalist bull.
-
Anti-semitism has been rife throughout European history, largely
because they were a distinct, easily identifiable group, who
refused to integrate. (Those who really wanted to integrate
converted.) Of course now we see pluralism as a virtue, and a
variety of ethnicities and religions as a positive thing.
However, if you want to set yourself up as the totalitarian
dictator of a NATION then you have to establish a clear identity
for that nation and stick to it; variety is an anathema.
-
Another key element of a dictatorship is fear, and a visible
scapegoat experiencing the wrath of the state is a good way to
keep people from stepping out of line.

Hitler was an unstable man. Source: Faqform Group.
