conspiracy theorists.”

Evidenced, but Reports of His Survival and Escape to Argentina Continue to Seduce

Many in the Social Media Age

Notes

• Media pushes stories for ratings

• “Proof” is conjecture only

• Strong evidence that Hitler died as reported

• No evidence he is alive – no pics or video

• Idea is pushed by neo-nazis and deep state conspiracy theorists

• Conspiracy theory leads to dismissal of history – undermines facts

Direct Quote

• Evans argues, “…There is the absence of genuine, first-hand evidence for Hitler’s

survival.”

• Evans points out, “Nobody who knew Hitler ever expressed the slightest doubt that he

had died in 1945.”
