All language subtitles for Hunting Hitler - S02E05 - The Factory

It's amazing after
the hubbub of Barcelona.

Suddenly you're so kind of
remote, aren't you?

Wow.

There literally could not be
a better spot to hide.

For Hitler to escape,
he needs to get out of Spain

and go to South America.

You find me a U-boat
base out of Cadiz,

I'll be very happy.

What was it specifically

that your mother was doing
for Nazi Germany?

It's still there?

We have to investigate this.

We're looking for
an exfiltration route

in the Cádiz area
that you could rely on.

male narrator:
CIA veteran Bob Baer

and war crimes investigator
Dr. John Cencich

discuss their investigation
in Southern Spain

where they are in search
of a U-boat loading dock

that Hitler could have used

to make his way
to South America.

They are following

a declassified
Argentinian document

that claims Nazi U-boats

were secretly moving from
Cádiz, Spain to Argentina.

We have intel telling us
that there were U-boats

leaving in this particular area.

We have a photograph
with a U-boat there

in the Gulf of Cádiz,

and we have an eyewitness
corroborating this.

On top of it,
we've got this lady

who pulls out clear evidence

of Nazi espionage
in the Cádiz area,

and she's telling us the Nazis

are using this
Reina Cristina Hotel

as a meeting place.

Spies going in.
Spies coming out.

That's where the U-boats
are coming in and coming out.

It makes sense.

Question is,

what do you get if you
go Reina Cristina?

That's what we need
to find out.

If this hotel leads to
a potential U-boat exfil point,

I'll be very happy.
This will be exciting.

Well, it'll be interesting
to see inside it.

Yeah.

narrator: In Cádiz, Spain,

World War II historian
James Holland

and U.S. Army recon expert
Mike Simpson

arrive at the hotel
Reina Cristina

in search of evidence

that this location
could have been used

to covertly board onto
a U-boat.

You can see why

you would have
so many spies here

back in the first part
of the 20th century.

- You certainly can.
- Someone up there,

big pair of binos,

looking straight out
over the water.

Oh, yes, you can see a bit
from here, can't you?

- The beach is right there.
- Yes.

So the fact that we have
the easy access to the beach,

you can almost picture
in your mind, you know,

a U-boat popping up, up there.

So as long as you could get
someone down to the beach,

it would be
hypothetically possible

to get a U-boat in here.

I would still always prefer
to do it completely clandestine.

Avoiding visual detection
is ideal.

I'd like to see something that
would get me all the way out

into that U-boat without
ever being detected.

We're looking for signs
of infrastructure.

What I want to do is
look around the hotel

and see what can I find out
from the people who are there?

- Hola.
- Hey, como estas? Bien.

narrator: The team makes
contact with Claudio Cosas,

a hotel employee.

Okay.
Says he knows it well.

- He's gonna show us.
- Oh, fantastic.

Si, vamos.

narrator:
Claudio leads the team

to an entrance below
the hotel's pool.

Oh, my goodness.

So the question's
where does that go?

I need to take a look at that.

Really cramped in here,
and pretty smelly.

I'm gonna follow this around--
see where it goes.

Really tight.

Sounds like water
flowing up ahead,

and I'm seeing some light.

Wow!

I was not expecting this at all.

So I've got two big wells,
big cisterns,

about 2 1/2 meters across.

It's probably about
30 feet down.

narrator: The team
has discovered a tunnel

that runs below
the hotel's pool

leading to a pair of wells
100 feet from the coast.

There's water down there.

I can actually smell the salt,

so this is not freshwater
coming down.

And there's a steel ladder
placed in the side.

Definitely somebody had an eye

on making this easily accessible

down to the bottom.

I'm wondering, are these wells
some type of way

to get someone out to link up

with that U-boat without
any detection whatsoever?

We're gonna need some help
to answer this question.

narrator: At first light,
Mike and James return

to the hotel Reina Cristina.

They're joined by
a structural engineer

and a team of divers.

narrator: They hope to
determine if these wells

could have served
as a clandestine

escape route to the Atlantic.

narrator:
According to the experts,

these wells were once part of
the hotel's drainage system.

During a downpour,

rain would funnel
into the wells,

travel through
a tunnel at the base,

and drain out into
the open ocean.

But due to rising sea levels
in recent years,

salt water has flooded into
these now-defunct reservoirs.

Seawater has completely
flooded these wells now,

which is why I smelled
the salt water.

But back in 1945,

unless there was a rain storm,

these would have been
wide open.

The question now is,
is this tunnel

at the bottom big enough
for a person to fit through?

Because if it is, that tells me

that they could shuttle people

from right inside
the compound of the hotel,

right out into the ocean
into a waiting U-boat.

There's our baby.

Fortunately,
we have the technology

at our disposal to find out.

narrator:
Mike and James are armed

with a waterproof
ROVVER X crawler,

which is used to
explore underwater caves

and dangerous pipelines.

It is equipped with
front- and rear-facing

high-definition cameras
on a robotic arm

with full articulation
and rotation.

James, I'm hooked up
to the cable

if you want to check it
on your end.

Let me know if the images
are coming through.

Okay, I've got a screen,
and I can see all that.

Roger, you want to elevate

and move your camera around?

How's that picture
looking on your end?

It's looking
incredibly clear, actually.

I'm gonna start
lowering it down.

Okay, that's it.

I think we're almost at
the surface of the water here.

I can see the light
in the water.

We're underwater now, Mike.

So far that water
is pretty clear.

I'm looking at something.

Okay, Mike.

You got a tunnel.

A tunnel.

Roger that, James.

I'm looking down at the light.

The light is heading in exactly
the direction of the beach.

How big around does
the tunnel look?

I can't tell from looking
at the screen

how big the cavity is.

Control the ROVVER
in the water.

You can drive it.

Let me give it a go.

It's not going, is it?

I don't know what's
going on here, Mike.

It's not moving along
the sediment.

I don't know quite
what to suggest.

So rocking the wheels
forward and back,

you're not getting
any traction at all?

No, it just can't move.

That robot was going
absolutely nowhere.

There's so much silt,
the wheels just can't grip.

The silt is too deep.

So at this point,
there's only one solution,

and that's to get eyes
down there

and see how big this tunnel is.

narrator: The divers
descend into the well

in hopes of determining
the dimensions

at the base of the tunnel.

He's in the water.

He's gonna try to free dive it
a little bit.

The divers going down there--

that's quite brave of them,
to be perfectly honest,

because they are literally
diving down into the unknown.

It goes to the ocean
for 30 meters?

All right, James.
He swam it.

It goes for 30 meters
towards the ocean.

How wide is it?

[speaking Spanis

So 90, 90 centimeters?

Okay, so 120 centimeters
by 90 centimeters,

so pretty sizable.

That's not just
a drainage pipe.

You can walk in that.

The intelligence that
we have has led us here

to the southwestern corner
of all of Europe.

Today we were able to prove
we have a definitive link

from the hotel
to the open ocean,

directly toward Hitler's
ultimate destination,

South America.

I'm convinced now.

Someone could have come
to this hotel,

gone out the tunnel,

got on a U-boat,

out of sight,
no witnesses.

You know, next stop
is Argentina.

narrator: Bob and John
review the findings

from the hotel Reina Cristina
in Cádiz, Spain

where they have discovered
a clandestine tunnel

leading to the Atlantic Ocean.

You've got a exfiltration
route here by U-boat,

but we have no idea
who got on that U-boat.

Do we have any evidence
that either Hitler or Bormann

were on a U-boat leaving Cádiz?

No, we don't.

I think we need to see
if there are

any other intel reports
in the database,

and let's see if either one,
or both, show up

in this particular radius.

Hitler.
Bormann.

What I'm going to do is put in
100 miles of Cádiz.

This is a MI6 report.

August 10, 1949.

Bormann's headquarters:

Tangier, Morocco.

"A former Luftwaffe pilot
asked whether Bormann

"really had the organization

"of which he had been told,

"and received the reply that

"'we National-Socialists'

"were working for
their whole lives

"to prepare a comeback

"for National-Socialism
in Germany

and in the whole world."

It's a huge statement
that Bormann goes to Tangier

to set up the Fourth Reich?

And that's not speculation.

Earlier in the investigation,
we uncovered Hitler

had plans for the continuation
of his empire

well beyond
the Second World War.

Hitler carried
with him secret plans

for the V-3 Sky Rocket bomb.

A V-3 could hit
the United States.

Hitler didn't think history
was over for him.

He came here to plan something.

If Hitler was still alive,

he wasn't gonna disappear
to Argentina,

move up in the mountains,
and write poetry.

We're talking about somebody who
had great pretentions of power,

but he's got to have a network
that he trusts,

and Bormann is the guy
that Hitler trusted.

What's really interesting here
is the proximity.

Tangier is only nine miles
from the hotel.

And remember that Tangier
was a lot like Spain.

It was never fully
under Allied control.

It's always been a point
of smuggling into Europe.

Tangier's a good place to hide.

If Hitler and Bormann
were in Spain,

there's every reason to infer

from this that Hitler

got on the U-boat from Spain

to South America,

and Bormann goes to Tangier

and sets up his headquarters
there in view

of their overall ambition
for a Fourth Reich.

Yeah, I totally agree.

What we got to do
is get the team there,

and all I care
about is some evidence

that Bormann went there.

Headquarters can mean
all sorts of things.

If it was a building,
if it was an address,

it was a basement,
a hotel room--

I don't really care.
I just want some evidence.

Tangier's a big city,
but we have to start somewhere.

Yep. Let's go.

What do you think we
need to be looking for

if there is such a headquarters?

Communications and security,
first and foremost.

narrator: U.S. Army
recon expert Mike Simpson

and World War II historian
James Holland

are in the Moroccan city
of Tangier.

So this is
the original ancient port.

narrator: They rendezvous
with local translator Stefan.

And there's Spain,
right there.

Just a little jump to Cádiz.

Yeah, just across the sea.

For centuries, Tangier
has been known

as an international city
with strategic importance.

It sits right at the mouth

of the Mediterranean
and the Atlantic.

It's in a key position.

We need to follow this thread
out and see where it leads.

- Mike.
- How do you do? James.

Rashid.

narrator:
The team makes contact

with Professor
Rashid Taperssiti,

an expert on Moroccan
20th century history.

What was the scene here
in the 1940s and 1950s?

Where you've got spies, that
means you've got safe houses,

knowledge, infrastructure,

which post-war,
if you're a fleeing Nazi,

is all incredibly useful.

So I'm thinking, Mike, you know,
if I'm a German spy

and I'm here,
I can't think of a better place

to spy than the port.

narrator: Rashid leads the team

to a lookout point
to better examine the port,

a potential entry
and exit location

for spies in Tangier.

- God, it's amazing.
- It is amazing.

It's an incredible view
from up here.

So this is where
espionage begins.

But once you've got
your information,

you're then taking that
into the city.

During the 1940s,
was there any location

where German military officials

were seen moving in and out?

In the Marshan
neighborhood specifically?

We started with a really broad
location, the city of Tangier.

Now we've narrowed that down

to a specific
neighborhood, Marshan.

This is a known location

where these Nazis
were interacting

during the time period
that we're interested in.

Now, we just need
to find the brain--

the headquarters,
the nerve center.

Exactly. That's where
the trail leads us.

We've gone from
the entire city of Tangier

to one neighborhood, Marshan.

Yeah, let's--
We have to dig into this

and see what we can find.

When we look at the evidence,

it's clear that
a Fourth Reich was planned.

narrator: Bob and John discuss
their investigation in Tangier,

Morocco, where an MI6 file
reports Martin Bormann

was setting up
a headquarters for Hitler

to reenter the world stage
after World War II.

We're talking about
the Fourth Reich.

It reminds me of another
one of the documents

that we had earlier
in the investigation.

Here we have a U.S. military
intelligence document

dated 7th of November, 1944,

where a French
intelligence officer

infiltrated a Nazi meeting.

These are the things that
he was able to discern.

"Existing financial reserves
in foreign countries

"must be placed
at the disposal of the party

"so that a strong German Empire

"can be created
after the defeat.

"These bureaus will
receive plans

and drawings of new weapons."

The Fourth Reich depended
on armed force.

If Hitler is gonna come back,

weapons are absolutely crucial.

If you're really going
to become involved

with the manufacture
or distribution of arms,

what do you need?

You need a munitions expert.

You know who comes to mind?

None other than Fritz Mandl.

What can Francisco tell us
about how Mandl

made his money while
he was in Argentina?

He used to own
an ammunition factory.

So he was making arms
while he was here?

Yes.

And here we have Hitler
meeting with him

after World War II.

This paints a picture of a man

who's trying to set up
an army in Argentina--

a Nazi army.

Austrian.
Munitions maker.

Big time money.

And he's in Argentina.

What's important here
is that Mandl

was a trusted member
of Hitler's inner circle.

He's a dyed-in-the-wool Nazi,

and he's somebody
that Hitler could trust.

I think we need to look
a little bit

closer at Fritz Mandl.

Okay, we got a hit.

U.S. War Department
report in 1943:

"Mandl's bicycle
and plastic plants began

"to produce machine guns,
airplanes,

bullets, and bombs."

This is the perfect cover.

- Yeah.
- The raw materials,

the machinery that's needed
to produce bicycles,

is the same as what's needed
for machine guns,

bullets, and bombs.

He owned a number
of companies in Argentina.

One of particular note
is a bicycle factory

in Buenos Aires.

If we could go to this

so-called bicycle factory
in Buenos Aires,

and if I could get some forensic
evidence to munitions--

weapons, explosives--

circumstantially,
a conspiracy has been proved.

We are doing the investigation

that should have been done
70 years ago.

Kind of a weird location
for him to have a factory,

downtown Buenos Aires.

Especially one that
is producing ammunition.

You'd only need one blast,

and you'd have a lot
of problems on your hands.

narrator: Investigative
journalist Gerrard Williams

and U.S. Army Special Forces'
Tim Kennedy

along with
local translator Nicole

arrive at the location

that was once Fritz Mandl's
bicycle factory.

You ready?

We're coming to
the Mandl factory

to see if they were
making munitions.

Munitions can be
so many things.

They could be grenades.

It could be ammunition.
It could be explosives.

Bombs. Artillery.

The spectrum of what
a munition can be is diverse.

It just has to do one thing,
hurt people.

narrator: The team meets
with Margarita,

a long-time employee
of the factory.

The era that we're
the most interested in is

when Mandl was working
at this factory.

Somewhere around '43,

he started appearing in
the books as vice president,

but it's still a mystery exactly
how long he was here for.

What were they able to make
with the machines

that they were using?

They could make from really,
really thin aluminum items

and really thick
aluminum objects.

Yeah.

The versatility
of those machines,

if you have the right engineer--

you can make almost
anything metal

right here in this factory.

They have the equipment
to be able

to execute from
start to finish,

not only a gun,
but also the ammunition.

Tim?

A German machine
imported here?

Yeah, it has to be.

And the size of this stuff--

the size that reminds me

of nothing more
than artillery shells.

Or mortar rounds.

This is all 1940s.

German design.
German manufactured.

Just in downtown
Buenos Aires, Argentina.

This place is filthy.

narrator: Tim Kennedy
and Gerrard Williams

have gained access to a factory

once owned by Nazi sympathizer
Fritz Mandl

that, according
to a declassified

U.S. War Department file,

was secretly
manufacturing munitions.

One thing's for sure,
it hasn't had

a deep clean
in the last 75 years.

narrator: They're investigating
a now-defunct section

of the factory

that was in use
during the 1940s.

There's inches of dirt
in the corners, on the floor,

in the center where we walk.

It could be a blessing
in disguise

because if they were
making bullets here,

if they were making explosives
here, whenever they stopped,

it doesn't look like
they started cleaning up.

- No.
- So this could be

the environment

that could protect
those residues.

Residues, yeah. It's not going
to have decayed over 70 years.

No.

We're looking for
trace elements

of the things that
they used in explosives

and ammunitions back
during World War II.

This factory's dirty,

but dirt actually would have
protected those traces

that we're looking
for over the course of time.

And the technology that we have

could still be able
to identify them.

These are explosive
test cards.

- Okay.
- So I go. I find a sample.

I get a little bit of residue.
Put it on the card.

Take the card.
Put it into the SEEKERe.

If there's explosive residues
on the card,

the SEEKERe will tell me that
this is what you found,

and this is the material
that's being used here.

narrator: The team is armed
with a SEEKERe,

a state-of-the-art munitions
detection device

used by military forces
around the world.

To minimize false positives,
a test card is inserted

into the SEEKERe,

which releases a chemical
solution

that causes explosive material

to change color
when detected.

I got to go get some samples.

Those things are sketchy.

I want to test those.

A bunch of black residue
at the bottom of this still.

3, 2, 1--
done.

Finalizing test results.

No explosives detected.

- Okay, clean.
- All right, let's keep looking.

See anything that's test-worthy?

There's not
a lot up here, Tim.

Hey, Gerrard!

- Yes?
- Oh, there's definitely stuff

in here, Gerrard.

So we have multiple bits
of equipment here

for measuring chemicals,

I mean, down to the gram.

This is what I'm
testing right now.

You can still see residue
in the bottom.

Mm-hmm.

Analyzing explosive test card.

Ten seconds.

I have a positive hit.

I have explosive detected.

Group one TNT, TNB.

It's detected TNT,
Tim, up here?

Yeah.

The stuff that was used
after World War I,

during World War II,

to build ammunition,
to build explosives?

- Mm-hmm.
- We have two of the ingredients

they used then right here.

If we found other stuff,
it would indicate

a different era
of manufacturing,

but the sample
in here is materials

that they used back then.

We came here for evidence.
It looks like we found it.

If Hitler and Bormann
were planning a Fourth Reich,

they're gonna have munition
factories just like this.

They're gonna have partners
like Mandl.

I think that this factory,
what they're making here,

could have been
part of the Fourth Reich.

If I were a spy operating
in this area,

these are exactly
the types of streets

that I would want if I had
to move from point A to point B.

Lots of places to duck off.

narrator:
In Tangier, Morocco,

Mike and James investigate
the Marshan neighborhood,

a reported hotbed
of Nazi activity in the area.

They are in search
of a location

that could have been used

as Martin Bormann's
headquarters

for the planning
of the Fourth Reich

as reported by
a declassified MI6 file.

There would have been expats

from all these
European countries here

from the early days of the war,

maybe fleeing, on through
the war and post-war.

This really is a kind
of a confluence

of all sorts of different
people, isn't it?

We started with a really
broad location,

the city of Tangier.

We've narrowed that down
to a neighborhood, Marshan.

Now what we're looking for
is a headquarters building

that is supposed to have
existed 70 years ago.

It might not even
be standing today.

So we need to look around
a little bit,

start to elicit
human intelligence,

and try to locate it
on the ground.

Is there a house or a business

where Germans would be located?

Yeah, okay.

It's very easy
to lose your bearings.

Yeah.

If you're off looking
for headquarters,

this is your area, because
you want somewhere discreet,

out of the way,

that people aren't
going to notice.

Look at that.

I want to see what
that's got to offer.

narrator: Mike and James
discover an abandoned building

on the outskirts
of the Marshan neighborhood.

Gosh, my, look at this.

What is this place?

The first thing I think of is,
like, a fortress.

I mean, these walls
are so thick.

They don't build them
like this anymore.

This feels like a hideout,
doesn't it?

There's things I like
about this place

for, like, a meeting place?

- Right.
- Not necessarily

as a hiding place.

- Right.
- Unlike a lot of the streets

that we've been on it's,
like, a triple-wide street,

so that's a lot of prying eyes.

I don't like
the front entrance at all.

It's basically in a large plaza.

That tells me that
there's a lot of eyes

that can watch this.

narrator: In hopes of zeroing
in on a location

that could have been used
as a Nazi headquarters

in the Marshan neighborhood,

their local contact has
convinced Shamzi Mohammed,

a lifetime resident
of the area,

to speak with them.

So with the known presence of
all the spies here in Tangier,

does he know if this building
had any connection

to that in any way,
specifically the Nazi spies?

The period we are particularly
interested in is 1945,

'cause we're looking to find
any signs of Germans,

Nazis, escaping Europe,
fleeing to Tangier.

Is there any specific location
that he knows for sure

or that was rumored
to be a location

that the German spies

would particularly use
or operate out of in the area?

Where is this?

We need to check that out.

This is a very
positive development

in the investigation.

Through our intelligence
sources, we've been able

to narrow this down

from the entire
city of Tangier,

to a neighborhood, to a single
street, Calle Imam Mouslim.

If Martin Bormann's
headquarters

can be found somewhere
in the city,

thankfully our search grid has
been significantly narrowed.

Look, we have the team
in Tangier.

I think we should really run
down the team in Argentina.

narrator:
With the investigation

moving forward in Tangier,

Bob and John review
the team's findings

in Buenos Aires,

where a bicycle factory
once owned by Fritz Mandl,

a suspected Nazi
munitions dealer,

returned positive results
for explosive materials.

The forensic test
produced results

showing numerous ingredients

of various types of explosives,

including TNT.

That's a heavy discovery,

because those ingredients
aren't necessarily the type

that are being used now,

but they were during
the Second World War.

There's only one way
that Mandl

could set up a munitions factory

in Buenos Aires,

and that's with the support
of the government.

You simply can't do it
on your own.

It's interesting
that you say that.

Something that is
quite interesting

is this man right here

by the name
of Jorge Silvio Colotto.

Colotto was Juan Perón's
aide de camp,

his right hand man,
the same way Bormann

was to Adolf Hitler.

What we've uncovered
is the last known

videotaped interview of Colotto.

Colotto also puts
the caveat in here

that he doesn't
want this interview

to be disclosed to the public

or to anybody else
until after he dies.

We are the first
to delve into this tape.

He says that in 1945,

after the end
of the Second World War,

there was a meeting
between Juan Perón,

the president of Argentina,

and Martin Bormann
in Buenos Aires.

And this guy
isn't just anybody.

I mean, he is in Perón's office,
a trusted aide.

Jorge Colotto is important

because all along we have
been looking for witnesses.

This guy was there,
saw the way stuff went down,

and this is the closest
you're gonna get

to a human source
describing this relationship

between Perón and the Nazis.

So let's look
at the interview.

Let's subject it to
some forensic analysis.

Let's see if he's
telling the truth.

narrator: Bob and John
are joined by Al Brooks.

His state-of-the-art
CVSA technology

measures minute changes

in a person's vocal chords
to uncover

if they're telling the truth.

Traditionally speaking,

an individual that might be
lying is under stress.

The Computer Voice
Stress Analyzer technology

will identify that via
the microtremors in the voice.

The more stress, the more
the microtremors are tight,

and they're depicted on the
screen as a deceptive pattern.

The polygraph--

I've seen people beat it
over and over again.

Voice stress analysis,
not so much.

Let's look at the video.

What we'll do now
is grab the audio

off of the bottom,
and using the software,

capture those voice patterns
and put them on the screen.

The relevant question was--

Did Perón actually
have a meeting

with the Nazi,
Martin Bormann?

So based on these patterns,

the results of the audio
are truthful.

You'd take this to the bank?

The results are the results.

This is huge.
We've got munitions.

We've got thousands
and thousands

of Nazi war criminals
living in Argentina,

and now we've got
government support.

We have Bormann meeting with
the president of Argentina,

and you have this talk
of a Fourth Reich.

All of the evidence is pointing
to that there was a plan afoot

to establish the Fourth Reich

and base it in Argentina.

The evidence is getting
stronger and stronger.

The deeper we get into
a Fourth Reich in Argentina,

the more I'm convinced.

So we narrowed it
down to here.

narrator:
In Tangier, Morocco,

James Holland
and Mike Simpson

head for the street known
as Calle Imam Mouslim,

which could be the location of
Martin Bormann's headquarters

to plan a Nazi Fourth Reich,

as reported by
a declassified MI6 file.

If Bormann's gonna
set up a headquarters,

he wants security
and communications.

You want to keep
those leaders safe.

Through our
intelligence sources,

we've been able to narrow
the location of Martin Bormann's

potential headquarters down

from the entire city
of Tangier,

to a neighborhood,
and finally to a street.

The next step is for me
to get up on the high ground,

and I want to see what I can
see in the neighborhood.

Hello.

See this white structure
right there?

Just to the right of it,

does that look like
an antenna to you?

And an old one at that.

That's not a TV antenna.

That's not a hobby radio
operator antenna.

That looks military grade.

Do you think that's it?

It's definitely number one

on our priority list
right now to check out.

Going into this street
to actually conduct

a ground reconnaissance,

something that's just
a little bit out of place,

anything that's just
a little bit different--

all these little clues are what
I have been trained to look for.

Oh, look at this.

Yeah.

It connects right
to the house.

Look how thick
that concrete is!

- Yeah.
- That's ridiculously thick.

That's like a defensive
position; it really is.

Two things that Bormann

would have to have
for a headquarters:

security and communications.

Both of them are right there.

It's literally like he built it
to withstand an attack.

You know, this place
has got a tower,

and it's just such an oddity.

It looks so incongruous

compared to all the other
buildings on that street.

All the kind of construct,
the way it was put together,

absolutely reminded me
of a German bunker.

narrator:
They approach the front gate,

hoping to gain
entry into the home.

- Hola.
- Hola.

- No.
- She's saying no.

We're really sorry,
but just for a minute?

Yeah.

What year did you
move in here?

You don't have any idea
who the original owner was?

The German built the tower?

This German not only
built the tower,

but also in the bathroom,

in the basement--
like, exits a ways.

- A ways, a ways to exit.
- Passages, yeah.

Oh, my goodness.

The original owner, he left
very quick and very fast,

so he sell it to someone else.

Is there any chance

we could have a look
in the house as well?

Well, that you are here...

So there's a small compartment
connect to all the house.

Through this tunnel, you can go
to every room in this house.

Well, I'd love to see
where it comes out.

Oh, my goodness me.

So much space up here.

You could definitely
hide up here.

You get up into the loft,

and then you can go out
a different route.

It's got a number
of little ways in and out.

Feels like a house with secrets,
I have to say.

Oh, and it gets even better.

I mean, this is like
a fortification here,

what I'm looking at.

Somebody put a lot
of thought into this.

This is really impressive.

So the ocean's right that way.

All this is new.
None of these houses were here.

None of these
buildings were here.

So these were
just two mountainsides,

and you could see right
between the two of them

into the open ocean
right there.

A U-boat could surface right out
there just off the coast.

And I put this
antenna up high enough,

I can go all the way out
to where they are.

I can give them an update.

They can tell me
they're ready to come in.

This has all the markings
of a military command center.

Martin Bormann can
control his finances.

He can control personnel,

arms, ammunition, supply lines--

all from right here.

If the Nazis had a headquarters
for the Fourth Reich,

it's here.

This map depicts a plan
to bomb the United States,

and more specifically,
Manhattan Island.

This is chilling.

There's no reason
to believe the Nazis

would not entertain
a weapon of mass destruction.

We need to know everything
about a Nazi scientist

called Dr. Richter.

He got himself an island?

It's this way. Come.

Oh, my God.

This is to prevent
radiation from escaping.

That's how close they were.

Hitler would dream
of New York in flames,

and a new Fourth Reich.

And it seems to be coming
together, here, in Bariloche.
