Analysis on the Analysis of Hitler’s Conspiracy Theory
For many years, the mystery of the death of Hitler agitated the minds of serious scientists,
and slight conspiracy scholars on the conspiracy theories. Hitler's suicide raises many questions
and mistrust. How can we believe that he killed himself if there was no one in the room with him
to see how he actually killed himself. Second of all, Soviet archives give different testimonies
from Hitler's personal doctor regarding the height of the corpse that they found. The discovered
corpse by Russians was 12 centimeters less than the height given by the doctor. Third of all, the
so claimed “Hitler’s skull” has been examined more than 60 years later by American scientists
and turned out to be a skull of a 40 year old woman. The Russian government gave “Hitler’s”
jaw to French scientists for the analysis which supposedly proves that the jaw was Hitler’s. In
this essay I am going to analyze and try look from different perspectives on the evidence
provided from the different resources. The information that will be presented in this essay
coming from government sources, scientific researches as well from independent websites.
Let’s start from the vague evidence given to us as a reliable evidence of Hitler’s death.
The so-called first "eyewitnesses", if they can be called such, were several Nazis who served
Hitler. Martin Borman and Joseph Goebbels were the ones who found bodies of Eva and Hitler
and then burned them at his request. How can we trust the words of the ones who were
hypnotized by Hitler’s power? Borman also staged his own death. All this happened before the
Russian troops arrived at the bunker. Even the legendary Russian commander Stalin did not
believe that the found remains belonged to Hitler, saying that at the last moment he could fly
away from Berlin by plane. When the troops came to kill Hitler all they saw were some
disfigured remains. The body of Hitler was studied and identified by Soviet specialists, and
fragments of the jaws and teeth were subsequently taken to Moscow and are currently kept in the

Analysis on the Analysis of Hitler’s Conspiracy Theory For many years, the mystery of the death of Hitler agitated the minds of serious scientists, and slight conspiracy scholars on the conspiracy theories. Hitler's suicide raises many questions and mistrust. How can we believe that he killed himself if there was no one in the room with him to see how he actually killed himself. Second of all, Soviet archives give different testimonies from Hitler's personal doctor regarding the height of the corpse that they found. The discovered corpse by Russians was 12 centimeters less than the height given by the doctor. Third of all, the so claimed “Hitler’s skull” has been examined more than 60 years later by American scientists and turned out to be a skull of a 40 year old woman. The Russian government gave “Hitler’s” jaw to French scientists for the analysis which supposedly proves that the jaw was Hitler’s. In this essay I am going to analyze and try look from different perspectives on the evidence provided from the different resources. The information that will be presented in this essay coming from government sources, scientific researches as well from independent websites. Let’s start from the vague evidence given to us as a reliable evidence of Hitler’s death. The so-called first "eyewitnesses", if they can be called such, were several Nazis who served Hitler. Martin Borman and Joseph Goebbels were the ones who found bodies of Eva and Hitler and then burned them at his request. How can we trust the words of the ones who were hypnotized by Hitler’s power? Borman also staged his own death. All this happened before the Russian troops arrived at the bunker. Even the legendary Russian commander Stalin did not believe that the found remains belonged to Hitler, saying that at the last moment he could fly away from Berlin by plane. When the troops came to kill Hitler all they saw were some disfigured remains. The body of Hitler was studied and identified by Soviet specialists, and fragments of the jaws and teeth were subsequently taken to Moscow and are currently kept in the

archives of the FSB and the State Archives. After so many years passed they were finally presented to some scientists and authorities only in 2000. Although, as it turned out later, “Hitler's” skull was that of a 40-year-old woman. In 2009, American scientists conducted a NA research on his skull and confirmed that the skull actually belonged to a woman of a 40 years and not Eva Braun who was 30 years old. The second most affirmative argument to confirm that Hitler died is his examination of Hitler’s teeth. This jaw was secured in Moscow for a long time and was open to examination only to French scientists about a year ago, however not American (ha, probably because they could not accept such a defeat after it turned out that the piece of Hitler’s skull given to Americans for DNA testing turned out not to be Hitler’s). But the examination of a jaw is far from a good evidence. Hitler’s personal dentist who was integrated at the end of the war drew sketches of Hitler’s teeth by memory. All they had to do is ask the dentist to recognize his jaw. The person after so many years, who have had probably a hundred patients per month cannot remember for sure how the Hitler’s jaw looked like, no matter how of a good memory he has. There is no reason to trust him anyway and using his memory as evidence is anecdotical. After the embarrassing failure of the skull precedent in few years they decided that a fake jaw proved by couple of French scientists would play a perfect evidence. Why didn’t they give an access of the jaw to other scientists? This jaw could be the jaw of his double. Let’s say that the jaw was Hitler’s, but it does not prove that fact that he died. No one ever seen him killing himself, only a couple of Nazis came into the room, took their bodies and burnt them. Soviets came when the bodies were looking burnt and obscured. This “evidence” needs more EVIDENCE. The Russian archives of the 1945 have never been opened to a public even after 74 years. The skull they offered was proven not to be Hitler’s and the access to the jaw examination was allowed only to

dimensions should have occurred. This evidence is recorded by CIA intelligence officers and therefore holds value. However, the data represented in both documents is inconsistent and causes a contradiction. The document about the body recovered was at some point translated from Russian since the soviets were the ones documenting everything with the body. The medical records from Hitler’s personal doctor are extremely precise. Hitler was a hypochondriac and as a result extremely detailed medical records remain. Hitler’s medical examination which is extremely in depth does not indicate genital deformities whereas the official story, part of verifying it was Hitler says the corpse recovered was missing a testicle. Additionally, there are more inconsistencies between the soviet report, and Morell’s medical report of Hitler. There is the rumor that Hitler had one testicle and the origins of this trace back to the body which was said to be his. The Soviet report states that “the left testicle could not be found in the inguinal canal” (Appendix B). Hitler’s extremely detailed medical reports from his doctor, who he employed from 1936 until the alleged death in 1945 has no mention of this. The medical report is broken down into different categories, section 14 is “rectal and genital regions” and section 19 is “sex characteristics.” Together these two sections indicate normal organ function as well as normal development of sexual organs. The medical records on Hitler are extremely detailed including everything from drawings of his extremities, x ray examinations, and blood serum differentials. His medical records provide a wealth of data and it is further evidence that the body recovered by the soviets is not an exact match to what is documented about Hitler. This evidence exists as an extremely in-depth analysis of Hitler’s health authored by one of the closest people to Hitler. It provides X-rays, sketches, and raw test results adding to the credibility of the report. Hitler fired all of his other doctors because he felt Dr. Morell was the very best. It is important to note that the body recovered by the soviets does

not perfectly match Hitler’s medical records. This raises the question about what documents are most reliable? Hitler’s medical history, or the autopsy of the body found. The answer is they both are reliable in providing incite. However, the body found has many indications that it may not be Hitler’s. I have no doubt that the Soviets recovered a 165 cm body with one testicle, it does not appear to be consistent with the body described from Hitler’s doctors (Appendix A). Furthermore, in order for Hitler to have survived it is difficult to believe he escaped Germany. One of his very close associates Martin Bormann staged his death in Germany and fled to Paraguay where he was living for a while (The Independent, 2011). Documents involving Bormanns existence in Paraugay are supported and verified by their police department. Judge Luis Benitez Riera part of the Supreme Court in Paraguay has officially announced the documents are real. The importance of Martin Bormanns staged death provides proof that it was possible to escape Berlin from the Bunker. Hitler was with Bormann right until his death, or so the story goes. In conclusion, while searching for information on the conspiracy theory that Hitler never died, I have encountered evidence that makes it compelling to believe that Hitler could have lived. Additionally, I have come across evidence that can be contradictory and they both are furnished from reliable sources. When analyzing each piece of evidence independently, it becomes possible to identify the role each piece of evidence plays in telling the story of an event. Despite any bias of reports, when the evidence is evaluated for how it is, it brings to light facts that cannot be easily dismissed.
