Aubrey M. Temples: SEEING HITLER ESCAPE GERMANY, APRIL 30, 1945

[Dr. Franklin]

This is from a recorded interview of American POW in Nazi Germany, Aubrey M. Temples. According to his profile on Amazon for his book SEEING HITLER: WWII Eyewitness Account of Aubrey M. Temples:

[H]e enlisted in the United States Army at the age of 19. He received his basic training at Camp Wheeler, Georgia, and was deployed to the European Theater in Leicester, England, as a member of the 82nd Airborne Division. He participated in the D Day campaign, as well as the subsequent Market Garden airdrop, one of the largest in the history of warfare. He was wounded, was captured by German forces, and spent time in Stalag VIIa, near Munich. Prior to the end of the war, he was transferred to farm duty in the small village of Nussdorf, Germany, close to the Austrian border. At the end of the war he was the recipient of two Bronze Stars with Valor and two Purple Heart Medals.
From an obituary, he was wounded in action and taken prisoner on October 3, 1944 in Holland, (which would have been in the immediate aftermath of Operation Market Garden), and received the Purple Heart, a Presidential Citation, and Combat Ribbon with Battle Stars.

Historians write history based upon which sources they find credible. In order to conclude that Hitler had committed suicide in the bunker, historians accepted the accounts of Hitler's loyalists, while rejecting accounts such as Temples, and others who claim to have seen Hitler in South America, as well as the photographs.

Of course, all of the top military brass in WWII believed that Hitler had escaped:
In 1952, Dwight D. Eisenhower said: "We have been unable to unearth one bit of tangible evidence of Hitler's death. Many people believe that Hitler escaped from Berlin." When President Truman asked Joseph Stalin at the Potsdam conference in 1945 whether or not Hitler was dead, Stalin replied bluntly, 'No.'
Stalin's top army officer, Marshall Gregory Zhukov, whose troops were the ones to occupy Berlin, flatly stated after a long thorough investigation in 1945: "We have found no corpse that could be Hitler's." The chief of the U.S. trial counsel at Nuremberg, Thomas J. Dodd, said: "No one can say he is dead." Major General Floyd Parks, who was commanding general of the U.S. sector in Berlin, stated for publication that he had been present when Marshall Zhukov described his entrance to Berlin, and Zhukov stated he believed Hitler might have escaped.
Lt. Gen. Bedell Smith, Chief of Staff to Gen. Eisenhower in the European invasion and later Director of the CIA, stated publicly on Oct. 12, 1945, "No human being can say conclusively that Hitler is dead." Col. W.J. Heimlich, former Chief, United States Intelligence, at Berlin, stated for publication that he was in charge of determining what had happened to Hitler and after a thorough investigation his report was: "There was no evidence beyond that of HEARSAY to support the THEORY of Hitler's suicide." He also stated, "On the basis of present evidence, no insurance company in America would pay a claim on Adolph Hitler."
18. Hitler Escaped

Then, there are the photographs of the man who called himself Adolf Schrittelmayor in South America:






If Temples and others were correct, that Hitler didn't die in the bunker in Berlin, but escaped to Argentina thousands of miles away, it exposes the lie of Germany's "unconditional surrender" after WWII. Allen Dulles head of the OSS in Berne Switzerland, (and later head of the CIA) negotiated the end of the war with the top Nazis, and allowed them to escape to South America, and ignored their presence there. No other interpretation is credible. Fascists in South America were a defense against communism, and for Dulles and the CIA, that was a good outcome. The U.S. got important Nazi military and industrial technology, and scientists like Werner Von Braun who instantly jump started the U.S. rocket program, and kept such treasures away from the Soviets.

There are several books about Hitler in Argentina. The detials of his escape in Eyewitness to Hitler's Escape by Peter David Orr include that Allan Dulles facilitated Hitlers flight from Innsbruk to Barcelona across the Italian Alps on a DC-3 the Nazis captured early in the war. In Barcelona, the DC-3 was repainted and then flown to the Canary Islands where Hilter boarded a U-boat for South America. It's quite likely that Truman himself didn't know about Dulles' complicity in Hitler's escape. Otherwise, why would Truman have asked Stalin about Hitler at Potsdam? The Deep State stars with the Dulles brothers at the end of WWII, who did what they wanted and sold it as U.S. policy.

While I normally dismiss such stories as fantasies, the behavior of U.S. intelligence agencies vis-a-vis President Trump makes me much more receptive to them.

[FlipWilson]

This is 100% bull poop. I have been assured by many that Hitler is, in fact, currently occupying the White House. I seen it on the CNN.

[Owen]

Vaguely heard of such stuff over the decades. Largely dismissed it — with one exception. I did find some indication that at least one submarine left Germany and reached Argentina. U977 is apparently factual and in 2022 another submarine was found sank offshore Argentina.

This has fueled all the stories, which until this post I thought focused on Nazi gold, not Hitler.

Wouldn’t the soviets have exposed the lie though?

This was also waxed in '47 by Herman the Hermit (no relation to Herman's Hermits). I have that on a 78 RPM disc.

“Wouldn’t the soviets have exposed the lie though?”

No. To say they conquered Germany but let Hitler slip away would make Stalin look silly. Stalin was riding on the high of defeating Germany and would not endanger that position in any way.

“Hitler didn’t die in the bunker in Berlin”

Pewwwww Does Not Pass Smell Test.

Even AI could not make this fly.

[kiryandil]

Whacking the beehive.

Americans are trained like Pavlov’s dogs. Any mention of Hitler causes them to drool uncontrollably.

This is a bunch of Bull Crap. Allen Dulles negotiated to surrender of German troops in Italy in 1945. He had nothing to do with the Nazis in Germany surrendering. He was not the head of the OSS, William Donovan was, and Dulles didn’t become head of the CIA until 8 years later in 1953 when Eisenhower appointed him.

If Hitler lived it was no victory for him. He was insane and lived years of mental torture, hiding yet being faced with his (and Germany’s) complete defeat every day.

I like this story better than the suicide.

[Reily]

Excellent history! Remember its much more fun to blame everything on the favorite boogieman - CIA.

[jimtorr]

The Soviets pushed hard for Hitler committing suicide, and claimed to have his remains.

It was in everyone’s best interest in 1945 that Hitler was dead, and not a loose end for Nazi loyalists to rally around.

I’m with another poster. I discounted the theory of Hitlers escape. Now I’m not so sure.

[Carry_Okie]

What later became the OSS was a British MI-6 operation: British Security Coordination, starring Alan Dulles, Wild Bill Donovan and a claque of others soon to be prominent in the CIA. British Security Coordination was housed at Rockefeller Center.

It's my understanding Hitler moved to S. America, making a slight alteration to his last name.

> Then, there are the photographs of the man who called himself Adolf Schrittelmayor in South America… <

If Hitler went into hiding, I don’t think he’d keep his first name and his famous mustache. And I don’t think he’d comb his hair the same way.

So no sale. Those pictures are probably from some gathering Hitler attended before the war.

That inclusion brings the whole article into question.

[ComputerGuy]

I thought Berlin was surrounded by the Allies at the end.
Where could Hitler have squeezed between them?

[Reily]

And I don’t think he would keep quiet!
His ego would demand a loud noisy but ultimately ineffective revenge. The host countries would tire of him and let the Allies and/or USSR have their revenge.

[Blennos]

I agree. Such a sophisticated and secret operation to move AH to Argentina but then to openly allow him to be exposed in such a clumsy manner. Photographs in a restaurant. Silly.

Or maybe intentionally silly to lead us from the truth.

Unless the Russians give us remains to perform a DNA test, we’ll probably never really know.
