Hitler's Conspiracies
As history states, the Nazi leader Adolf Hitler commited suicide on April 30, 1945 (Petrova). He and his wife, Eva Braun, were both pronounced dead by the Germans (Petrova). Hitler had shot himself in the head in his bunker (Petrova). After commiting suicide, Hitler and his wife were set aflame and were burned (Petrova). There are many rumors surrounding the possibility that Hitler did not commit suicide that day, and escaped Germany. The main conspiracies on whether Hitler actually escaped Germany include the quietness surrounding his suicide, his escape to Argentina including the finding of seventy five Nazi artifacts in Bueno Aries, and whether the skull the Russians had was actually Hitler’s skull. Although there are many conspiracies dealing …show more content…

Jerome Corsi also has a conspiracy concerning his escape to Argentina. Corsi believes that, “with help from Hitler’s private secretary Martin Bormann, Argentinian politician Juan Peron, and future CIA director Allen Dulles – who, Corsi insinuates, was motivated by a sinister internationalist agenda – Hitler and his bride escaped to Argentina” (Nelson). Also, in 2017, seventy five Nazi objects such as, “a bust relief of Adolf Hitler, magnifying glasses inside elegant boxes with swastikas and even a macabre medical device used to measure head size” (“Massive Trove of Hidden ‘Original’ Nazi Artifacts Found in Argentina”). These objects were found behind a bookshelf that led to a passageway in the wall that held all the artifacts (Rey). Some of the artifacts found also had pictures of Hitler holding some of the objects in the Argentinian house. One last conspiracy dealing with Hitler’s suicide is the skull that the Russians had. It is well established that after recovering Hitler’s body, the Soviets took the already burned remains to Moscow, and apparently incinerated them (Nelson). After some time, researchers at the University of Connecticut tested that those statements were true (Nelson). They tested the believed to be skull of Hitler, and their results turned out different (Nelson). Their results were that the skull was actually a woman’s skull between the age of 20 and 40, so they believed that this was not Hitler’s skull

    Hitler used the last attempt on his life as an excuse to rule Germany military for the remainder of his life with an iron fist (Duke 38). Henning von Tresckow, Erwin von Witzleben, Erich Fromm and anyone else suspected of being a part of the attempted coup were either tried and executed or took their own lives before trial (Simkins). Around 4,000 people are thought to have been executed by the German government for their involvement in the coup (Short…

    Dr. Alfred Herrhausen, arguably one of the most powerful men in West Germany, left his house in the upscale suburb of Bad Homburg, around 8:30 in the morning on Thursday, 30 November, 1989. His usual security detail consisting of three armored Mercedes-Benz with two guards in the lead and chase vehicle, who were unaware of the deadly danger that lay 550 meters in front of them. A small group of construction workers had been repairing a section of road that Herrhausen’s motorcade passed every day. Unbeknownst to the security detail, the workers had placed a sophisticated explosive device on the roadside with the intent of killing Herrhausen (Akasie, 2998). Shortly after departing the house, Herrhausen would be killed by the device, injuring…

    There were many reasons why people wanted to assassinate Hitler. Although his ideas were crazy and his tactics were inhuman he was considered legit as a Democrat and had overwhelming support; this was a problem for conspirators (Braw). Many people wanted to get rid of him because he was crazy; for example, “Among the conspirators Freisler sentenced to death--many were hanged from meat hooks by piano wire, their agonies filmed for Hitler's enjoyment,” (Will). In other cases, many people who met Hitler during his campaign realized something was off, “My [Corrado Pirzio-Biroli] grandfather wrote to my grandmother: 'If this man…

    The argument is focused on whether the gas chambers could have killed the number of victims reported. The use of gas chambers has always been an issue for deniers because they emphasize that Nazi’s had no intention of killing victims with the gas. The evidence in specific buildings shows the Nazi’s released Zyklon-B gas in the chambers, which was initially used “as a disinfectant and an insecticide,”(Historyplace.com) but was soon recognized as a killer gas for Jews and other individuals. Deniers insist that “the gas chambers were really showers. Zyklon-B gas was too weak to kill, or too powerful to use for mass murder.” (When in Doubt, Doubt). Within closer examination, scientists and historians concluded that “upon [Zyklon-B] being breathed in, the vapors combined with red blood cells, depriving the human body of vital oxygen, causing unconsciousness, and then death through oxygen starvation.” (Historyplace.com) The intentions of the gas chambers were obviously used for far more destruction than the uses claimed by the…

    I watched “Valkyrie,” starring Tom Cruise, a movie that depicts the plot to assassinate Adolf Hitler during the height of World War II. It brings to light the events leading up to the assassination, as well as its aftermath. The failed July 20th attempt led to the execution of around 5,000 Germans, ordered by Hitler. Although World War II was not impacted very heavily by it, the war certainly would have been had the attempt been successful. Because of the armistice that would have been signed, nine months of war could have been avoided and hundreds of thousands of lives could have been salvaged. The attempt shows the world that not all Nazis were evil; some followed their conscience rather than Hitler’s orders. People should either watch the movie or research about the attempt; they need to know how brave the conspirators were and how much they were willing to sacrifice for the greater good. Of the fifteen assassination attempts made on the Fuhrer, this one came the closest to succeeding.…

    There is no evidence that Hitler really committed suicide in the Führerbunker, but there are many evidences that can prove, or at least create a suspicion about the life of Hitler in America after the fall of the Third Reich. The Führerbunker was an air-raid shelter near to the Chancellery, only for the private use of Hitler, his wife, and his closest advisers and ministers. According to the Soviets, Hitler and his wife, Eva Braun, committed suicide in the Führerbunker on 30 April 1945, but the only records that can prove that this really happened were the testimonies of the Soviet soldiers who assured that the body was burned and the ashes buried in the Chancellery garden. So if there is no body, and the Soviets would benefit themselves if Hitler really died, what proves that he killed himself. There was only one thing that could prove Hitler’s death, and this was a human skull with a bullet hole , which was kept in Moscow; but in 2009 it was discovered that it belonged to a woman, so all the proves disappeared.…

    The Nazis had many motivations for performing medical experiments on various groups of people during the Holocaust. Such motivations included collecting data in order to aid the German army, finding effective methods of treatment for diseases in a purely scientific attempt, and discovering techniques to bolster the Nazi racist beliefs. Additionally, the Nazis executed such experiments to determine the most productive strategy in mass elimination.…

    There were three different categories these experiments can fit under. The first focused on aiding the survival of their military. In Dachu, a labor and extermination camp, high-altitude experiments were tested. They used a low-pressure chamber to determine the maximum altitude in which crews of a damaged aircraft can parachute to safety. Also in Dachu, scientists performed experiments on prisoners to find the most effective way to treat hypothermia and methods of making seawater drinkable. The second category of experiments focused on the development of medicine and treatment methods for injuries and illnesses the German military may encounter while in the field. At the German concentration camps of Sachsenhausen, Dachau, Natzweiler, Buchenwald, and Neuengamme, scientists tested immunization compounds and anti-bodies for the prevention and treatment of contagious diseases including malaria, typhus, tuberculosis, typhoid fever, yellow fever, and infectious hepatitis (Holocaust Encyclopedia). Under this category, bone grafts were also used for experiments. The third category of medical experimentation was intended to advance the racial and ideological beliefs of the Nazi worldview- blonde hair and blue eyes. Josef Mengele was an infamous scientist. He mostly experimented with twins. He and other scientists experimented…
