In May, 1945,
Adolf Hitler may have landed in San Sebastian, Spain.
If you're an escaping Nazi, this would be
a good place to come, clearly.
And the team has found a communication center.
In a matter of moments, that information
would have been sent to any U-boat or plane.
Piece of cake.
The team in Argentina established
a couple miles from the Nazi compound in Misiones,
there was an active hunt for Hitler.
Your father, did he ever mention any senior Nazi
that he may have met?
Bormann?
Martin Bormann, who is the second most important man
in the Nazi world.
This is history changing.
Bormann is sort of the key for Hitler's fate.
Martin Bormann may take us
one step closer to Adolf Hitler.
The thing is, is people don't like to talk
because they have something to hide.
Who's this?
We have an alleged picture
of an aged Adolf Hitler.
Okay, John, we got our two teams.
We got one in San Sebastian
and we've got the team in Argentina
looking into the compound.
male narrator: 21-year CIA veteran, Bob Baer
and war crimes investigator, Dr. John Cencich
are overseeing a dual-pronged investigation.
While the European team investigates how Hitler
could have moved from Germany
to San Sebastian in northern Spain,
they focus in on the South American leg
of their investigation, where they have uncovered
a potential piece of forensic evidence
from a small town in Misiones, Argentina,
just 50 miles from a reported Nazi militarized complex
in the jungle.
The investigative team,
they were able to uncover this photograph
that is ostensibly
one of Adolf Hitler from 1961.
Frankly, if this were really a picture of Hitler,
it would change history.
I mean, this is potential proof positive
that the guy got to Argentina.
But as soon as we get something like a picture,
my antennae go up like, "Uh-oh.
Gotta look into this."
A photo of Hitler in 1960--
I approach that with complete skepticism.
Until we can confirm-- get some sort of confirmation
on this picture,
it would be irresponsible
to show it on air.
It certainly looks like it could be Adolf Hitler,
but we have to be really careful with this.
We have great responsibility
that comes with this investigative undertaking.
My major problem with the photo is,
we just know so little about this.
Just because the photograph is found in Argentina
doesn't mean that's where the photograph was taken.
We don't know what it is.
It's our job to get to the bottom
of this particular photograph.
So I've ordered a forensic analysis of the photograph,
also to undertake the facial recognition.
narrator: Over the last 72 hours,
Animetrics Technologies has analyzed
the potential photograph of Adolf Hitler in Argentina
after World War II.
Their state-of-the-art facial recognition software
is used by law enforcement and military agencies
around the world.
They're scanning the images.
There's an algorithm
and it gives a percentage of what are the odds
that the two images match.
narrator: They have shared the results
of their examination with the team.
What we're able to learn
from undertaking that type of forensic examination,
as well as our own reconnaissance,
our own independent research,
we determined that
this is not a photograph of Adolf Hitler.
As someone who's done a lot of work--
forensic work with photographs, I can tell you,
this wasn't Adolf Hitler that was taken in the 1960s.
That's okay. That's what we do.
We had to investigate it.
We did investigate it. We move on from there.
All I can do is deal with the evidence
as it comes across my desk.
It's like I'm sitting back at Langley.
We're trying to figure out what's going on.
Now, we don't know the origin of this photograph,
but on the surface, it absolutely looks like
an aged Adolf Hitler.
So I completely understand how if you were in a small town
in Argentina and all these sightings of Hitler
are happening all around the world,
and you come across this photo,
of course you'd think it was Hitler.
But at the end of the day,
we have to separate the good evidence from the bad.
Okay, John, let's go to Spain, San Sebastian.
narrator: Bob shifts focus to the European leg
of their investigation.
In San Sebastian, Spain, they have uncovered evidence
that suggests high ranking Nazis
were fleeing to the area after World War II,
including a close associate of Adolf Hitler
arriving by plane in May, 1945, after being spotted
by the Fuhrer's side just one day earlier.
If you're flying out of Nazi Germany in May, '45,
you're not gonna just, you know,
land in some airport anywhere in the world
hoping you'll be okay.
You got to go someplace where you got a network.
This is a place that had the infrastructure,
the personnel, the communication equipment.
If Hitler had lived, the answer to the question
as to whether or not San Sebastian
would have been a place for him to arrive by plane
is unquestionably yes.
The next question is, "Well, where did he go from there?"
So let's take a look in the database
and see if we can find some intelligence
that intersects Hitler
and San Sebastian or just Spain in general.
"Hitler." "Spain."
Enter.
Here we go.
This is a German document.
"Special order prepared by Heinrich Mueller."
Chief of the Gestapo.
"20 April, 1945.
"Subject: Fuhrer's special trip to Barcelona.
"The members of the Fuhrer's entourage are:
"The Fuhrer, Reichsleiter Bormann."
There's something going on here.
You know, what's unique about this document,
it's an internal German military order
issued ten days before Adolf Hitler
is alleged to have committed suicide.
It's an incredible find.
For me, this is a huge piece of evidence.
The head of the Gestapo was clearly planning
an exfiltration of Hitler and his closest advisors.
Internal documents belong to a government.
It's something very secret.
So I think right through April,
the whole system is geared to get Hitler out.
We've always theorized that if Bormann indeed escaped Berlin,
and if Hitler didn't commit suicide
on April 30, 1945,
perhaps they would be together.
This document does show the intent to the people,
and that intent is for the Fuhrer
and Martin Bormann to flee to Barcelona together.
You're right, and what is in Barcelona?
Is this even credible that you would send Hitler there?
Let's go to Barcelona and find out what type of evidence
we might be able to generate
in relation to this "Fuhrer's special trip."
Oh, I think absolutely.
I'm really intrigued to know
what the German setup was here.
narrator: World War II historian,
James Holland,
and U.S. Army Reconnaissance expert, Mike Simpson,
arrive in Barcelona.
Talking about every aspect,
there's a lot to like about Barcelona--
location wise, population center wise.
Infrastructure.
If there was an existing escape plan for Hitler,
it would have almost certainly been set up by Bormann.
Absolutely.
narrator: The team meets with David Rodriguez,
a local expert on Nazi movement in Spain,
at the Gran Teatre del Liceu, originally built in 1847.
I'm really intrigued to know why we're
in this particular theater.
20,000 Germans, and he said they know for a fact
that at least 500 of them
were known and active spies of the Nazis.
- Oh. 500? - Right.
Okay, so I think we're in the right place.
It seems clear that, yes, there was definitely
organization here in Barcelona.
There were 500 spies and leading Nazis.
You know, that's an awful lot.
Clearly something big was going on here.
Oh, look at this.
Look at it.
Where we're looking down, the high ranking Nazis
that would be here, this is where you would see them.
Specifically, they would have the honored seats up front.
This was a very permissive environment
for those Nazi expats living here at that time,
and we're talking about a population of 20,000,
ten times what we were talking about up in San Sebastian.
If this is what's going on above the water,
it's anybody's guess what's going on below the surface.
Whew.
Gosh, it's stunning, isn't it?
Absolutely stunning.
Where there any really notable Nazis
that came here to Barcelona?
Bormann's plan was to set up infrastructure
to support fleeing Nazi officials
should the Third Reich lose the war.
They were prepared to support them,
they were prepared to support Hitler,
they had prepared false documentation,
and Franco had even designated members of his own guard
that would work in a security capacity.
Right. So let me just get this absolutely clear.
Before the end of the war,
Bormann had set up a plan for Hitler's escape.
The more we peel back the layers,
the more this is looking like exactly what we're looking for.
Martin Bormann was scouting out locations for a ratline
to get the Fuhrer out of Germany and into a safe haven.
He says on the 10th of August, 1944,
many wealthy German expats as well as many Nazi officials
under the supervision of Martin Bormann met
to plan the formation of--
Die Spinne-- literally the translation
in German is "the spider,"
and it was an escape and evasion network
with absolutely the top of the Nazi chain.
There were lots of rumors and stories about it.
That's a massive eye opener.
This is adding up very nicely for me.
Our team has uncovered that Martin Bormann
was in contact with people in Barcelona
relative to this secret organization,
Die Spinne, the Spider Network.
narrator: Bob and John review the findings from Spain,
where they are following a declassified Nazi document
outlining a secret trip for Adolf Hitler
and Martin Bormann to Barcelona
days before they were believed dead.
This Die Spinne network was set up
to facilitate the exfiltration of Nazi war criminals.
What really strikes me is they have this plan
before the end of the war.
Die Spinne is the mother of all ratlines.
It had a massive infrastructure
to support the elite members of the Nazi party.
The question remains is
how far did this network actually reach?
Let's find out.
Look up "Die Spinne."
Well, here we have a CIA document.
"Eichmann was in close contact
"with the underground group Die Spinne.
"It is believed that he also financed
"from his stocks this underground movement
"and paid for the international travel expenses
of wanted war criminals."
Eichmann is a new piece of this puzzle.
narrator: Adolf Eichmann was one of Hitler's
closest allies
and a major organizer of the Holocaust.
During the war, Eichmann was responsible
for facilitating the mass deportation of Jews
to concentration camps throughout Europe.
In 1950, he fled to Buenos Aires, Argentina,
where he lived in a modest house
and worked for Mercedes-Benz
under the alias Ricardo Klement.
In 1960, he was captured by the Israeli Mossad
and sentenced to death.
If somebody like Eichmann,
one of the most wanted men in the world,
actually got out using the web, Die Spinne,
I think we just have to consider that network
was also intended for Hitler to use in his escape.
Absolutely.
Everybody knows that Eichmann lived in Buenos Aires,
but here we have a document that says there's rumors
that Eichmann actually lived in a safe house
in northern Argentina in a province called Tucumán
prior to moving to Buenos Aires.
"Tucumán."
Tucumán is out in the middle of nowhere,
and then you go across--
in a equally remote area is Misiones.
We have to consider the possibility
that Tucumán was simply a staging area
while the compound in Misiones was being built.
This compound in Misiones, very complicated.
This took a lot of time and money, but in the meantime,
you can't wait for Misiones to be built,
you got to go to a place like Tucumán.
What I think we need to do is to get the team into Tucumán.
If he had a safe house there,
there's potential evidence there.
The sooner they get there, the better.
Well, we're 1,400 miles from Buenos Aires,
up in the northwest province of Argentina.
This is--this is a whole new level of isolated.
narrator: Investigative journalist, Gerrard Williams,
and U.S. Army Special Forces, Tim Kennedy,
make their way through the winding roads
of Northern Argentina.
So Eichmann manages a whole ten years in Argentina
before he's picked up.
He lives under the name Ricardo Klement.
There's no way that Adolf Eichmann on his own
would have decided to come to this part of Argentina.
He must have been sent here by Die Spinne.
Could this house be a safe house
where people are dropped off before they moved on?
That's what we've got to go find out.
We are coming close now, guys. Almost there.
narrator: Their local contact, Rune,
has uncovered what could be the location
of Eichmann's rumored safe house in the area.
Here we are.
Creeps me out.
Let's see what we can see.
It's locked, but it's vacant.
narrator: With the team unable to gain access
to the potential safe house,
they make contact with neighbor Francisco Valdez.
Do you know the family that lived in this house
in the '50s?
He lived here, yes, with his family.
Does he know the name of the family?
Adolf Eichmann.
Why was he here?
Who put him here? Who did he work for?
Does that ring any bells?
It's German owned, partly Argentine staffed.
Company that's involved in major infrastructure projects.
- In Argentina? - Yeah.
CAPRI is a company that is owned by a former SS captain,
except you're never a former SS anything.
You are SS until you die.
They run huge infrastructure projects all over the world
in exactly the same way as they did for the Nazis.
What was CAPRI doing here?
They made tunnels, he said.
They were, like, cutting out in the mountains.
They were making tunnels in the mountains?
Yeah, they were making some tunnels.
Adolf Eichmann's up here tunneling into mountains?
What the hell's all that about?
Do you know if these tunnels still exist?
Okay.
Eichmann was here digging tunnels
into the side of the mountains in secluded Northwest Argentina.
If Hitler would have come here and used this as a safe house,
he would need multiple routes for evasion.
Look at these mountains. Look at that view.
It's quite incredible.
Maybe these tunnels were built as an escape route.
That's where I have to go next.
I feel good about Barcelona, you know,
we've got documents related to it.
Bormann was intimately tied to Die Spinne.
narrator: While the team continues to investigate
the Eichmann safe house in Tucumán, Argentina,
Bob and John discuss the Spanish leg
of their investigation,
where a declassified Nazi document outlines
a secret trip for Adolf Hitler
and Martin Bormann to Barcelona
days before they were believed dead.
In Barcelona we know there were Nazis there,
and we know there's a German culture there.
It was open for Hitler,
but where do you go in Barcelona?
You just don't show up there and walk around the streets.
We need to find out which safe houses, which routes,
which infrastructure was used
to facilitate the fleeing war criminals.
I think we need to dig into the database
and see if we can find some information.
There we go.
This is coming out of an MI6 file
reported in October 22, 1950.
"Bormann is without a doubt the brain behind Die Spinne.
"He is known, rather ironically, as The Great Eminence
"because of the robes worn by the monks
at his monastery hideout in Spain."
Hey, look, it's been documented totally
that the Vatican helped the Nazis.
So, I mean, we are within the parameters of reality here
narrator: After World War II,
an intricate system of escape routes
throughout Spain, known as the ratlines,
were established to help Nazi war criminals flee Europe.
According to a 1947 American embassy memo,
these ratlines were allegedly supported
by the Catholic Church
by providing false documentation
in places of refuge at local monasteries.
You know, the question is which monastery?
We've got hundreds of them around Barcelona,
but which one would he go to?
Let's see if we can find an answer to that.
Look at this.
It's coming from the Federal Minister of Justice,
West Germany,
and it goes on to say, "Martin Bormann is living
"in the Saint Benedict monastery at Montserrat near Barcelona
where he found sanctuary with the Vatican's consent."
I mean, John, when you look at this,
you got Barcelona here, right on the coast.
And then you go up to here is Montserrat.
Montserrat is approximately 25 miles from Barcelona.
You are really in the mountains here.
We need to know whether Montserrat,
this particular monastery, had any Nazi connection.
Number two is can you actually hide out there?
Because it's a monastery doesn't mean you can just move in.
I mean, was there a place
that he would feel comfortable and safe?
I agree. Next stop is Montserrat.
Well, this is spectacular scenery, isn't it?
It's beautiful.
narrator: James Holland and Mike Simpson head
for the Montserrat monastery
deep in the mountains, an hour's drive from Barcelona.
And it's amazing, after the hubbub of Barcelona,
suddenly you're so kind of remote, aren't you?
On the drive up I think tactical advantage
right off the bat.
One road alone provides access.
Very easy to control.
Look at that.
Oh, it's such an amazing view.
The monastery was absolutely stunning.
These beautiful mountains, strange rock formations,
and there's this Benedictine monastery
kind of sort of tucked away beneath this kind of rock face.
A Nazi war criminal would want somewhere discreet,
out of the way, and very well protected.
Frankly, he couldn't ask for a better place.
Hola, Padre. Me llamo Mike.
narrator: The team makes contact
with Friar Hilari Raguer, the monastery's historian.
Himmler is one of the absolute top Nazis.
He is the head of the SS.
He's incredibly important. Why would he come here?
Ah. Himmler said
to one of the monks, "We want to see the mountain.
We're interested in the mountain."
These are extensive?
Very extensive.
Before the Nazis would have fully committed
to using this site, they would have had to do
what's known as a site survey
and assess the value of this site.
Normally, this could have been performed
by any mid-level military officer,
but in this case it was Himmler himself.
That tells me that this place was very important.
- Look at this. - Yeah, we're there.
- Gosh, look at this. - Look at that.
That's pretty big, isn't it?
When he said expansive,
he really, really meant expansive.
If you're in Spain and the war's over,
the monastery itself
would have been a perfect location
to keep people on a temporary basis.
And now, added bonus of these caves.
Wow.
Well, you could easily hide someone in here, couldn't you?
There literally could not be a better spot to hide
safely away from the eyes and ears of your enemies.
You want to have that out, and the caves are that out.
narrator: At Tucumán, Argentina...
He said this direction, but it's vague.
narrator: Tim Kennedy investigates
the area surrounding Adolf Eichmann's safe house
in search of rumored tunnels
that could be connected to Die Spinne,
an organization to support the escape
of the highest ranking Nazi war criminals,
as reported by a declassified CIA file.
When I heard the Nazis were in the mountains
digging tunnels, immediately,
especially considering that this could be a safe house,
I'm thinking of escape routes.
I need to get inside of these tunnels
at night to really try to discern
what they were doing here.
narrator: While Tim scouts the mountain
for a tunnel entrance...
- We found the key. - Ah, good stuff.
- Here we go. - Okay, muchas gracias.
narrator: Gerrard Williams gains access
to the interior of Eichmann's safe house.
Here we are in a kitchen
where the man who facilitated the deaths,
industrial mass murder, of--
Close to 11 million people,
would make his morning coffee.
And that's chilling, even if he was
only here for a couple of years,
I still find it chilling.
Ugh! Don't want to stay in here.
The old man said that the tunnel entrance was
in the valley.
Where is this thing?
I can see something.
We might have something right here.
Holy [bleep].
We got a tunnel.
I have no idea what's back there.
It could be treacherous in there, truly dangerous.
In tunnels there's pockets of gasses
that we can't control. Some of those are toxic,
but I have to find out where it goes,
so I brought a self-contained breathing apparatus with me
and enough air that I at least know
I can get in and out.
I'm lead. You guys stay behind me.
Looks like a wall right in front of us.
I can see a little bit of light popping through.
I'm gonna go check that out and see where that goes.
We got a couple of chambers.
They're cutting off multiple tunnels.
All right, we have--
at this intersection right here you can see,
right here, these archways.
This is a corridor. This was planned.
This was built specifically for the movement of people.
A massive tunnel system.
narrator: Roughly 200 meters
from the mountain base entrance,
Tim runs into an intersection
leading to three distinct, man-made pathways.
Tunnels like this, going straight into bedrock.
That takes time.
That takes money. That takes backing.
If these tunnels were built as an escape route,
they did it well.
We're a few hundred meters from that intersection,
you know, maybe 500--400 or 500 meters from the entrance,
and we still don't even have a way out.
Straight ahead.
Oh, I see some light up there.
It looks like it's filled in.
Oh, we're gonna have to switch back.
We won't be able to go much further.
It's starting to smell bad.
I'm not sure I want to go much further like this.
Man, we're gonna-- I'm gonna put my mask on.
I don't want to go any further breathing this air.
This is a complex tunnel system.
You're trying to track a fugitive that's evading you,
and he runs in that tunnel, if you try to follow him,
that's dangerous.
I have tunnels that are dropping off.
I have tunnels that are going to dead ends.
If you don't know where you're going through that tunnel,
you could be lost.
Watch your footing right here. Slow down.
This goes straight down,
but right here, we got an opening.
Whoa.
We have an entrance near the Eichmann house
and an exit on the opposite side of the mountain
at a lower elevation by the water.
That's an escape tunnel.
You know, I came here to find evidence of infrastructure.
We found it. That's what this is.
Well, we sent the team up to Tucumán,
looking for this potential safe house
Eichmann was supposed to have lived in.
The team was able to locate this house,
and they learned Eichmann was working
for a company called CAPRI,
and that they were digging tunnels through a mountain,
and the team was able to go through the tunnel.
What did they find on the other side of that mountain?
An opening that goes down to lower elevation
and right there's a river, a method of escape.
So these guys built this tunnel
for a damn important reason.
In Tucumán we found a tunnel.
A place to go underground.
Clearly, Eichmann intended to make an escape route.
So while Misiones was being constructed,
Tucumán could be the perfect staging area for Hitler.
Let's go back to Barcelona.
narrator: Bob and John discuss the other leg
of their investigation in Barcelona, Spain.
You certainly have the possibility of hiding out
in the mountains in, like, these caves, the monastery.
Himmler was at this monastery. He would have known about it.
They're Nazis.
We determine that Barcelona's interesting
for a safe house and for meetings,
but for Hitler to escape, he needs to get
out of Spain and go to South America.
What is the point of exit or egress from Spain?
That's where we have to go, find the most likely place for that.
Yeah, I agree. I mean, it's you know--
Look, we looked at Vigo. It was a possibility.
But you simply can't narrow it down to one particular base.
What if in the meantime you're in Vigo
and there was an American battleship
parked off the coast?
You have to have multiple exit routes.
You have to, in the middle of a plan,
be able to alternate.
You do not have one exit.
You have to have a second exit, and a third, and a fourth.
You're always worried about an ambush.
If Vigo is plan A or plan B,
what's plan C or plan D?
I, you know, I think we should, you know,
start getting into the documents and look
and see if there are any other U-boat bases
and whether they were active in May of '45.
"U-boat."
"Spain."
All right, we've got something here,
a now declassified Argentinean intelligence document.
We see here that Ludwig Freud,
an agent of the Third Reich,
stated that, "on 7, February, 1945,
"a U-boat brought to Argentina huge funds
"to help in the reconstruction of the Nazi empire,
having sailed from Cádiz, Spain."
They're saying money here, but just as easily
you could have been putting people
on a U-boat out of Cádiz.
Yeah, what's going on at the Gulf of Cádiz?
We're no longer in the Mediterranean.
It gives a clear shot to the Atlantic.
Yeah, it's the only other way out.
The question is, though, are there any U-boat bases here?
Yeah, yeah, you find me a U-boat dock here,
I'll be very happy.
That'll make two of us.
Look at all these bunkers, Mike.
Yeah, look at this. You got here, here--
There's lots of them. Lots and lots.
narrator: In the province of Cádiz, Spain...
That's amazing.
narrator: James Holland and Mike Simpson
are joined by local historian, Alfonso Escuadra.
You know, from down on the ground,
you don't really realize how important it is.
this is a maritime choke point,
so you control access in and out of the Mediterranean
from right here.
What I'm really intrigued to know, Alfonso,
is how much of a foothold have the Nazis
got here during World War II?
- Really? - Yeah.
Amazing.
This is huge.
We have photographic evidence
of a German U-boat in the port of Cádiz.
That means that Hitler could have had a support network
operating in the area, as well as bases
to service U-boats.
That's what we need to find out--
where exactly these locations are
and to what extent they were used.
Do you know of any place that might have been used
as a clandestine base for the U-boats?
Can you think of anybody who might have
more information about U-boats
and about their operation in the area?
Well, we should definitely try and talk to her.
This is looking quite tasty.
This looks like the place.
narrator: In the province of Cádiz in southern Spain,
James Holland and Mike Simpson are investigating
a declassified Argentinian document
that reports German U-boats were sailing from this area
to Argentina in the final months of the war.
German U-boats were operating in Cádiz
but we still don't have an exact location yet.
We're definitely in the right area,
but that's what we need to pin down.
narrator: In search of a possible location
that Hitler could have used to load onto a U-boat in Cádiz,
the team arrives at the home of Liana Romero,
whose mother was rumored to be connected
to Germans in the area.
We've been told that your mother had
a very interesting time here during World War II.
Oh, really? So she was Russian?
Si.
So she signed up as an agent for the Abwehr?
- Correct. - Which is the German
secret intelligence service.
And in what year?
'41.
And what was it specifically
that your mother was doing for Nazi Germany?
Did your mother keep anything from her years as an operative?
Did she keep any communiqués or notebooks,
or anything like that that we could take a look at?
Liana's mother was placed in the time period
that I am interested in and in the exact location
that I am interested in,
but we need an actual point
that you could put a high value target
such as Adolf Hitler onto a U-boat.
- So this is your mother? - Si.
So striking, isn't she?
Gosh, it's tiny.
So this is a Minox camera. I'm familiar with these.
Minox is a German company, and these were great
because they could focus not only on documents,
but you could also take pictures of objects,
you know, a ship going by or something like that.
This is basically the original spy camera.
Really, this is the first time
I've seen one outside of a museum.
So what we're looking at here, James,
this is an Astra 400 9 millimeter pistol.
- Mm-hmm. - These were manufactured
here in Spain, late '30s early '40s.
Oddly enough, most of these were actually exported.
- Right. - And guess where
they were exported to?
- I don't know. - Germany.
This was a very preferred Luftwaffesidearm.
These fit perfectly with everything I know
about the tradecraft.
It was exactly what spies of that time used
and makes the fact that Liana's mother was a Nazi spy
very reliable indeed.
So, Liana, was there anyone here
that your mother became acquainted with or knew
who had contact with the highest Nazis?
Yeah.
- Really? - Whoa.
- He-- - He was a camp doctor?
And he was a German?
Ah, okay.
Do you have any specific knowledge,
or even just rumors
of him helping German officials who were fleeing?
N--not that I know.
James and I are looking for specifically someplace
that could facilitate clandestine U-boats.
Is there anything you might be aware of?
Reina Christina.
It's still there?
We're in Cádiz specifically to find a location
that Hitler could have used as a U-boat exfiltration point.
Now we have a hotel crawling with spies.
We have to investigate this.
You could see why you would have
so many spies here.
So the question's where does that go?
Wow. I was not expecting this at all.
If Hitler and Bormann were planning a Fourth Reich,
they're gonna have munition factories just like this.
It's clear that a Fourth Reich was planned.
Now we just need to find the brain--
the headquarters for the Fourth Reich.
Look at this.
If they were making explosives here,
whenever they stopped, doesn't look like
they started cleaning up.
Analyzing explosive test card...
Holy [bleep].
