Declassified CIA documents suggest that Adolf Hitler did not commit suicide in 1945 but instead escaped to South America and survived for years. The documents reveal that ten years after Hitler’s supposed death, a secret mission was launched to find him. CIA reports detail covert operations conducted to locate Hitler hiding in post-war South America, indicating that CIA agents in the 1950s believed he was still alive and using a different name to remain hidden. A photograph taken in Colombia in 1954 of a man resembling the Nazi leader, known as “Adolf Schrittelmayor,” was included in the intelligence files. The documents also propose that Hitler may have been hiding in a hotel in La Falda, Argentina, given the close Nazi ties of the hotel owners and Hitler’s alleged stays at the same hotel during holidays in Germany. In one startling revelation, a CIA informant codenamed CIMELODY-3 claimed to have met with a former SS officer named Phillip Citroen in Venezuela, who asserted he regularly met with Hitler, believing that since ten years had passed since the war, Hitler could not be prosecuted and was legally untouchable. The CIA closed the case in 1955, citing difficulties in further progress, but President of Argentina Javier Milei announced that all secret Nazi documents in the country would be made public in 2025, prompting a reevaluation of the claims in the old CIA reports. It is expected that the new documents will shed light on the “ratlines” the Nazis used to escape to South America after World War II. The US’s post-war Paperclip Operation, which brought around 1,600 German scientists to the country, some with connections to the Nazi regime, is a known fact. The question remains: Did Hitler really escape? The newly emerged documents have yet to provide a definitive answer. However, the fact that the US intelligence continued to pursue Hitler’s trails years after his supposed death indicates a serious consideration of an alternative scenario to the official history. Future documents from Argentina are expected to further fuel this debate.
