All language subtitles for Hunting Hitler - S02E07 - Unmarked Grave

male narrator: Previously
on "Hunting Hitler"...

They had a plan for mass
destruction

in the United States,
using a weapon

with a kill radius which
would have taken out Manhattan.

We need to know everything

about a Nazi scientist

called Dr. Richter.

He got himself an island.

Richter's laboratory
was cutting-edge,

with machines
that would enable him

to develop a nuclear weapon.

We have Inalco over here,

Dr. Richter with island Huemul,

the bunker destroyed in 1955,

an observation tower.

Somebody sat back with a map
and said,

"I'm gonna put an outpost here,
I'm gonna put

"Adolf Hitler here,
and I'm gonna put

a nuclear weapon program here."

What I see here is the
Fourth Reich's blueprint.

Our intelligence leads us
to Huemul Island.

Here Dr. Richter,

with the acquiescence
of Juan Peron,

is developing
nuclear technology.

narrator: Bob Baer
and Dr. John Cencich

review the findings from
Bariloche, Argentina,

where they have uncovered
Huemul Island,

a nuclear facility
run by a scientist

with Nazi ties just 30 miles
from the Inalco house,

a possible safe haven
for Adolf Hitler,

as well as several military
installations in the area.

Look at the totality of
evidence,

not any one piece of it.

So these people
had on their mind,

uh, creating
the Fourth Reich.

In Bariloche,
you have the Inalco house.

You've got the watchtower.

You've got the bunker.

You have a clandestine
nuclear facility.

They had the elements
to create the Fourth Reich,

but something went wrong.

What happened?

We know that
the Argentinean military

took efforts to destroy the
energy facility

on Huemul Island
and the bunker.

In 1955, Juan Peron is ousted,
he's no longer in power,

this is my theory that the
Argentinean government

is trying to remove any evidence
of cooperation

or the appearance of cooperation
with the Nazi regime.

narrator: In September 1955,

the fascist dictator of
Argentina, Juan Peron,

who provided refuge to
thousands of

Nazi war criminals,
was driven from power

by a military coup
and remained in exile

for nearly
two decades in Spain.

If Hitler made it to
Argentina,

Peron is overthrown in '55,

Hitler would have been
obligated to get up and move.

Not only obligated,
there would have been

preparations in place.

They went somewhere.

Where did they go
at that point?

From Bariloche,

Chile is right over
the mountain range.

The Chilean government allowed
thousands of Nazis

to enter following
the Second World War,

and they lived with
a lot of autonomy,

so it's a perfect place for
fleeing Nazis

to make their way to.

Okay, Chile and Nazi...

Yeah, this is interesting,
dated 2nd July, 1943.

It's a memorandum
from J. Edgar Hoover himself,

pro-Nazi personalities in the
vicinity of Osorno, Chile.

Each paragraph is highlighted by
different Nazi activities.

There is a, uh, a network

of Nazi support

in the province of Osorno.

If Bariloche is here,
we have Osorno right here

in Chile, the distance here

is a mere 150 miles.

People are running scared,

where are they going to go?

The most logical area
is Osorno.

Every time we've looked at
these German communities

and followed these leads,
there has been some sort of

Nazi clandestine
infrastructure,

and I'm willing to bet
we find something.

What's this guy's name?

Ruben Ramirez.

Everybody says this is

the man to talk to.

narrator: In Osorno, Chile,

U.S. Army Special Forces,
Tim Kennedy,

and investigative journalist,
Gerrard Williams,

are joined by their translator,
America.

You can take point, America.

narrator: They arrive at the
home of Ruben Ramirez,

a historian and lifetime
resident of Osorno...

- You ready?
- Yeah.

narrator: Who has
spent his career studying

Nazi activities in the area.

Thanks for taking the time
to meet with us.

We're interested in...

Nazis that came to this area.

We have information
that lots came here,

and we're trying to find
a few very specific ones.

They were welcomed
by the government here.

The Germans who were
established here before

helped each other,
so when those Nazis arrived,

they helped them get key
positions in the government

and working places.

Were there any senior Nazis
who came here after the war?

We're talking S.S. Generals,
senior party officials.

Sí, señor.

Does he have names?

Juan Keller...

Legally, he was known as
Juan Keller.

- Juan Keller?
- That was his legal name here.

But it is said he was a higher
position of Nazi.

He was a person
who lived in the shadows.

Having an alias,
a false name,

is distinctly part of a Nazi's
book of tricks.

You have to keep a low profile

when you're one of
the most wanted

war criminals in the world.

Did he meet this man,
himself?

Sí.

He was just a kid when he
saw him the first time.

He was riding a horse,
he had a huge leather jacket,

boots, and he could see
the bump of a gun

sticking out of his back.

Was it normal in those days
for people

to carry guns around here?

No it was not normal,
only people of power,

people who had a lot of money,

would go around with guns.

Will you tell us
everything that you know

about what Juan Keller
was doing here?

There were people with guns
guarding the perimeter.

- Armed guards?
- Exactly.

People were really scared
to see him,

because there were a lot of
deaths happening around him.

So these guys said that
Juan Keller had been born here.

Saying, "we've known him
since he was a lad."

They were both murdered?

There's something strange
going on here.

We have people dying around
Juan Keller, being murdered,

disappearing--they're not
coincidences,

those are specific,
strategic choices.

He's getting rid of witnesses,
and he's killing threats.

But--so this is, what,
in the 1950s?

Yes.

Which puts him snap
in the timeline here.

It's very suspicious
that a high-ranking Nazi

turns up, he's able to buy
three large tracts of land

and armed guards.

I'd never heard of Juan Keller.

He must be very,
very important.

Who is Juan Keller?

Do you know his name
during the war?

That's the
Million Dollar Question.

Is there anyone else
that we can talk to

to get more information
about Juan Keller?

Just--

Just the daughter
who lives in Osorno.

- She's still alive?
- Sí.

Her name is Eliana Keller.

How do we find her?

We have to talk to her.

That is a relative
that is still alive

and living in this area.

Let's go find the woman.

Appreciate your time.

If we can track down
Eliana Keller,

she could have
information about

the Nazi network infrastructure

that was here in Osorno, Chile.

We could blow this investigation
wide open.

Let's take a look
at what we have in Osorno.

We have a local eye witness,

who's telling us
for the first time

about a man by the name
of Juan Keller.

narrator: Bob and John
review the findings

from Osorno, Chile, where the
team is in search of evidence

that Hitler could have moved to
this area

after fleeing Argentina.

They have uncovered a potential
high-ranking Nazi

living in Osorno under the
alias, Juan Keller.

I mean, John, from the
description of this guy,

it looks like he's on the run.

He's carrying a weapon,
he's German, very intimidating,

and if he's living
under a pseudonym,

he's got to be
fairly important.

I mean, a low-level Nazi
is not going to

take all this effort
to hide his identity

and kill the witnesses.

Agreed--and then we have

his daughter,
Eliana Keller,

she's alive,
she's still in the area,

and she is a potential source
of information

surrounding the true identity
of Juan Keller.

Mm-hmm.

This is interesting,
it's an adoption certification.

It's showing her,
Eliana Keller,

being born 1954

and it identifies the
adopting father

as Juan Keller.

If he is established as a
Chilean National,

he has a daughter who is a
Chilean National,

and at some point in the future,
there's an extradition request.

It would throw a serious
curveball

into the extradition process
altogether.

If he was pretending
to be Chilean,

and had a Chilean child
by adoption,

it would offer him a certain
amount of protection.

Who is Juan Keller?

We need to find out.
- Yep.

Juan Keller, Worldwide,
Chile...

What do we got, Bob?

FBI, December 19th, 1945.

"Martin Bormann,
well known Nazi war criminal,

"was traveling in Latin America

under the name of Keller."

Can you believe that?
Keller.

Juan Keller's potential

real identity
is Martin Bormann.

It's a huge, blazing lead.

It's absolutely crucial
we get to Eliana Keller.

Talk about a firsthand witness,
the daughter is it.

And Bormann was Hitler's
right hand man.

He's the natural person to
follow to lead us to Hitler.

So, finding somebody
like this is key.

The team needs to locate
Eliana Keller.

Fortunately, we have a lead.

One of her relatives,
Gabriella Asenco.

If she's willing
to cooperate,

perhaps that'll
take us to Eliana.

Yep. Let's do it.

Well, we're here.

Let's see if we can pinpoint
which house it is.

narrator: In Osorno, Chile,

Tim Kennedy
and Gerrard Williams,

with the help of their
translator, America,

arrive at the home
of Gabriela Osenco,

a reported relative
of Eliana Keller.

Hopefully, we don't
scare her off.

Both of us are intimidating.

Maybe you two walk up and I'll--
- You can come join us.

Gabriela Osenco is essential
to this investigation.

She's the woman
we hope will lead us

to Martin Bormann's daughter.

If it is Martin Bormann,
we need this person.

Señora Osenco.

- Hola.
- Hola.

Señora, we've been given your
name by a man called

Ruben Ramirez because we are
looking for a lady called

Eliana Keller.
Can you help us?

Do you know were she is?
- No.

So you're not related
to Eliana?

She was married
to her brother.

And she has had
no contact with her since?

- No.
- Okay.

This is my colleague, Tim.

Her brother,
is he still alive?

- In the cemetery.
- He's in the cemetery.

- Okay.
- Um...

Do you know anyone
that could

get a hold of
Eliana Keller for us?

No.

- Um--
- Did you know a Juan Keller?

Eliana's father?

How long did Juan Keller
live in Osorno?

- No, she doesn't know.
- Doesn't know.

We'd like to stay in touch,

and if she can find any
information at all about Eliana,

we would be very grateful.

I mean--hey, I have
one more question.

Juan Keller,
was he a good guy?

Was he a nice guy?

Did the people around him
like him?

There's a rumor that
Juan Keller is Martin Bormann.

Is that true?

Unbelievable.

If you have Martin Bormann,
you have Adolf Hitler.

I realize it's sensitive,
but we have to talk to her.

She's going to find out,

and when she has
the exact address,

she will give you a call.

Muchas gracias.
Thank you so much.

We'll be expecting
your call.

Thank you.

We are so close right now

to finding Eliana Keller.

Eliana Keller could be the key
to this entire investigation.

If we can talk to
Martin Bormann's daughter,

we might find
more evidence than ever

of what Adolf Hitler did after
he left the bunker in 1945.

The team needs to keep
investigating in Chile.

It's clear we have to
talk to Eliana.

narrator: While the field team
continues to dig in Chile,

Bob and John discuss
opening another leg

of their investigation
into where Hitler

could've gone if he was forced
to flee Argentina in 1955,

after Peron fell from power.

In Argentina, we have two

potential locations for Hitler:

Bariloche, Inalco house.

And you've got Misiones.

The Nazi compound.

We've now examined the
possibility that under duress,

Nazis could have run across the
border from Bariloche to Chile.

If you're fleeing Misiones,
you're not gonna be going

all the way across
Argentina to Bariloche

and then to Chile,
it's too far.

Misiones is right on the border
of Paraguay.

So what happened to these guys?

The first Nazi party that was
organized outside of Germany

was in the late 1920s,
and it was in Paraguay.

If Argentina was to become
compromised,

it would make sense
to have two plan Bs:

Chile and Paraguay.

Misiones, which is just a few
miles south of Paraguay,

there's the other plan B.

Paraguay sided with
Nazi Germany.

They protected 'em.

If you're in Misiones,
had to get out quick,

Peron falls, cross the
piranha river, you're safe.

What kind of facilities
do you get in Paraguay?

What do we have there?

Okay, let's take a look at
Paraguay and Nazis...

Look, here we go, this is a
secret document declassified.

Reporting agency:
CIA.

March, 1965.

"Bormann is in Paraguay.

"Bormann, guarded by four men

"equipped with walkie-talkies,

has four different hideouts."

- I see this as significant.
- Yeah.

So as the team keeps
digging into Chile,

we need to send another team
to Paraguay.

Yeah, Asunción,
the capital of Paraguay.

Let's start right there.

Asunción is close to Misiones.

If there are any documents,

if there are any facilities,
they would be there.

I think we need to
get Mike Simpson.

He did a great job
for us in Spain

and in Morocco and I think
we should have Graeme Wood.

He's a Bormann expert.

If there's any evidence
relative to Martin Bormann

in Paraguay,
Graeme Wood is our man.

Let's get them on mission;
let's get them into Paraguay.

I agree.

Did any big name Nazis come
into Paraguay?

That's what I want to know.

narrator: U.S. Army recon
expert Mike Simpson,

investigative journalist
Graeme Wood,

and their translator, Jorge,
are in search of evidence

that Hitler could have
fled to Paraguay.

When you're trying to
investigate something

that lot of people don't want
you to know about,

it's very difficult to weed out
the truth from the fiction.

As a journalist,
it's my job to check out

every little loose thread
to see if it leads somewhere.

Dr. Fernandez.

Mike.
Mucho gusto.

Graeme Wood.
Nice to meet you.

narrator: They make contact
with former

Supreme Court Justice,
Dr. Jose Fernandez,

who has agreed to grant
the team access

to classified government
documents

concerning Nazis
on the run in Paraguay.

The government at the time
had a very close connection

to the German Nazis.

That's all thoroughly
documented, and there's still

a lot more to go through,
because the file

is just so huge,
that requires more time

to be examined thoroughly.

The opening up of the
Paraguayan archives

is a really big event,
because there was a huge amount

of material that
the regime had gathered

about Nazis who were
living in Paraguay.

These are documents
that were kept secret.

Do we have any information

from these files about Nazis
escaping their war crimes

here in Paraguay?

This is huge.

Right here, look at
this sub paragraph.

It starts off,
"Martin Bormann, number one,"

all in caps.

So he knew this was important,

this was an important find

that he's reporting to his boss.

"Martin Bormann,
Chief of the Nazi Party,

came to Paraguay
and lived here for some time."

According to this,
"Bormann eventually succumbed

to his illness, stomach cancer,
and he was buried

on the night of the 17th
of February, 1959,

in the cemetery in Ita,
near Asunción."

- This is huge.
- Mm-hmm.

We're talking about
information that people

in many continents
would want to know.

And what's so tantalizing
about this report,

is these are details
that could have been left out

if the informant wanted to, uh,
just cook up a story,

but instead, there's some
verifiable stuff.

They say where he was buried
and we could go there

to find out more about that.

Yeah.

narrator: Earlier in the
investigation,

the team discovered that
Bormann may not have died

in Germany
at the end of World War II.

When his remains were uncovered
in Berlin in 1972,

they were covered with
a mysterious red clay.

When people looked at those
bones, there was the fact that

the soil attached
to the bones, um,

had a kind of red,
iron rich clay.

Uh, which is something that you
don't find anywhere in Germany

This document
that mentions Martin Bormann

has a remarkable
level of detail.

Martin Bormann
might have survived,

lived in Paraguay and been
buried here before,

been dug up and then planted
back in Berlin.

Which would in itself be an
incredible thing to discover.

And you have
their contact information?

History says that Bormann died
in Berlin in 1945.

If we can develop any proof
at all that Bormann died

and was buried
in South America,

then Hitler being alive
and also being in South America

becomes even more likely.

Everything is now different at
this point.

This is the neighborhood.

narrator: In Ita, Paraguay,

Mike Simpson
and his translator, Jorge,

are in search of evidence
that Hitler could have

fled to this area.

They are following a
confidential Paraguayan file

that claims that this area
was the final resting place

for Martin Bormann,
15 years after

he was believed
to have died at the end of

World War II in Berlin.

narrator: They make contact
with a local woman,

who was reported to have
information

regarding Bormann's burial.

She says it's okay,
we can just, um...

Sí, sí.

History as it's written
has always told us

that Martin Bormann
died in Berlin.

If we prove that Martin Bormann
was buried here in 1959,

then this is ground zero
for the investigation

to go forward to prove that
Adolf Hitler was also here.

I was told that
you have information

pertaining to the burial of
Martin Bormann here in Paraguay.

How old were you
at this time?

You went with
your father that night

and you witnessed
all of this first hand.

Sí, sí, sí.

Sí.

Did they say specifically,

"this is the body
of Martin Bormann"?

Do you remember
the location of the grave?

If we were to take you
to that cemetery,

could you find
that location again?

And he lives in this area?

We're gonna need to
talk to him.

- Okay.
- Gracias.

Bueno.

Eye-witness reports
give you a depth

that archival data cannot match.

Having an eye witness,
someone who was actually there,

standing at the grave site when
Martin Bormann was buried...

This is huge.

We need to talk to this guy.

Got you.

narrator: Mike joins up
with Graeme Wood.

They head for the reported
location of an eye witness...

That looks like the one,
right there.

narrator: Who could potentially
point them

to the precise site where
Bormann was buried.

It's the place.

Mucho gusto.

I was told that
you have information

about where Martin Bormann
was buried, here in Paraguay.

I know you're a busy man.

Could you show us right now
where that grave is?

No problem. Vamos.

At every point in our
investigation,

we found Bormann
and Hitler coming up

in all the same locations
in the right time frame.

If we can find
any evidence at all

that Martin Bormann
was laid to rest in this grave,

then the next question is,
what about Hitler?

Did he end up in Paraguay also?

So this is it?

That's right.

How did you happen
to get the information?

Is this something
that you saw for yourself?

He was working for the priest
at the time,

so he had to be there
the day after he was buried.

When was the first time
that people

began to whisper about
the true nature of this grave?

The day after he was
supposedly buried here,

people started talking.

They were saying
that some warlord

uh, was brought here
from Ascension.

That's what the people
were saying.

And then he tried to confirm it
and asked the priest later

that was what happened,
and the priest kind of, like,

just said that Martin Bormann
was buried here.

The priest said
that Martin Bormann

was buried in this grave?

What was the name
of this priest?

And what can you tell me
about Asencio Ayala?

This priest was not only a
very important member

of the community,
but also really well connected

with powerful people.

He worked for the army.

- He was a Chaplain?
- Yeah, Chaplain, yeah.

This priest would have had
direct ties to the capital,

to the military power structure,

and to the
president of Paraguay.

That tells me this goes to
the highest levels,

and I think
they still had things

that they wanted to hide.

Who else was here,
who else was alive?

Let me widen this for the auger
a little bit.

narrator: Mike and Graeme
are granted access

to investigate the grave site
that is reported

to have housed
Martin Bormann's remains.

I see some good,
soft earth here.

Soft is good.

We're starting to see red earth,
that iron rich soil.

The reports of the skull
exhumed in Berlin

that was DNA matched to Bormann

had this red clay on it.

And we're clearly
seeing a red clay

that at least visually looks
very similar,

and not native to Germany,
not native to Berlin.

For this being a small town,

she was a difficult woman
to get a hold of.

Yeah.

Maybe she's a private person

who doesn't want to talk about
the possibility

that Martin Bormann
was Juan Keller.

narrator: In Osorno, Chile,

Tim Kennedy, Gerrard Williams,
and their translator, America,

arrive at the home
of Eliana Keller,

the adopted daughter
of Juan Keller,

which according to declassified
FBI documents,

is the alias
used by Martin Bormann

when he moved from
Argentina to Chile.

Doing an interview like this,
we're re-writing

what people think that they know
about what happened

to the leaders
of the Third Reich.

Eliana Keller,
the daughter of Juan Keller,

potentially could be the
daughter of Martin Bormann,

the second command
of the Third Reich.

If Bormann was here
in the open,

how close could
Adolf Hitler have been?

There's a lot of very, very
sensitive issues here,

but we know what we need
and we have to get it.

Eliana Keller?
Señora Keller?

- Sí.
- Sí?

- Sí?
- Muchas gracias.

Vamos.

Thank you for seeing us.

Eliana we've heard, um,

many tales about, um,

your family and we'd like to
hear your story.

Are you Juan Keller's
natural daughter?

It was an agreement with
Juan Keller's housekeeper.

Oh, okay, okay.

She was adopted
at two months.

And--
- Oh a baby, a complete baby.

Yes,
and at five years old,

she started going to
the German school.

Was your father a German?

What did you father
do for work?

What was his main occupation,
and how many people

did he usually have working
with him or for him?

It wasn't only the land
he had in Las Trancas,

he had two other places,
and they worked there, too.

So he was wealthy,
he had lots of money?

Yeah, of course he was.

How old were you the last time

you saw Juan Keller?

Never saw him again.

After your father left
when you were 13,

the story started coming out
that your father, Juan Keller,

was Martin Bormann.

Do you think
that that is true?

And that the man that is
Juan Keller

was in fact the fugitive
from World War II?

He left
and three months later,

she started getting journalists
trying to talk to her.

Why do you think
your father left?

So we have a man who speaks
German at home,

is very, very wealthy,
who suddenly runs

when Eichmann is taken...

is it Martin Bormann?

Does this look like
your father?

We're finding out new things
every day here in Chile.

There has to be far more
to discover,

far more that's been hidden
about exactly what happened.

Because if Bormann's here,
Hitler's not very far away.

After your father left,

did anyone ever
come looking for him?

So one day,
four men came to her house

and they said they came
from Colonia Dignidad

and they wanted to know if she
was the daughter

of Martin Bormann.

Colonia Dignidad.

As a journalist,
I remember some of this story

about a place called
Colonia Dignidad here in Chile.

A large German community.

There were rumors
they were involved in murders

and disappearances.

So why is this a link
to Martin Bormann?

What do you think
the men were there for?

She thinks they were
the same kind of people.

We have to dig
into Colonia Dignidad.

Yeah.
Definitely, definitely.

This is weird.

What the hell's going on
with these people?

What the hell's going on in
Colonia Dignidad?

Is there some sort of
connection between

Nazis and Colonia Dignidad?

What I do know is it's got
a deep and dark history

and needs a visit.

So we've got
a team in Paraguay

and we've got in team
in Chile.

So what's happening
in Chile?

narrator: Bob and John
focus on the Chilean leg

of their investigation where
they have interviewed

Eliana Keller, the woman who
claims she was adopted

by Martin Bormann in 1955
in Osorno, Chile.

Eliana Keller looks at a
photograph of Martin Bormann

and says,
"Yes, this is my dad."

He fled Osorno
when she was 13 years old,

trying to escape from
war crimes investigators.

And then people
from a community

called Colonia Dignidad
came looking for him.

And Eliana describes these
people as--like him, Germans.

Clearly, uh,
this is a serious lead.

Something's going on here in
Colonia Dignidad.

What do we know
about this place?

It is, uh,
a secretive place

in the middle of nowhere
in Chile.

It started with this guy
right here: Paul Schafer.

narrator: Paul Schafer
was a Nazi corporal

during World War II.

In 1959, he fled Germany after
being accused of sexual abuse.

And in 1961,
he surfaced in Chile,

along with
300 German followers,

where they formed
a secretive community

in the Andes mountains,
know as Colonia Dignidad.

The colony's true intentions
are still debated to this day.

There were rumors of torture

and homicide
and sexual abuse.

All sorts of egregious,
horrendous crimes.

This is a place that conjures up

images of sheer fear

in the faces of Chileans

to this day.

At its height,
the community

had 53 square miles

of essentially
sovereign territory.

Nobody from the outside was
coming in, that's to be sure.

You have a
remote part of Chile,

a German community,
run by a Nazi corporal.

And the fact they were in
connection with Bormann,

this is huge.

So what do the files
have on this?

Colonia Dignidad.

Here we go.
It's a CIA document.

"Colonia Dignidad
is a private encampment,

"reportedly run in the fashion
of a religious cult.

"Colonia Dignidad
has also been accused of

other nefarious activities."

And it goes on to say:

"Elements persist in Chile
that would willingly provide

succor to a fleeing
Nazi war criminal."

You basically have a community

where Germans can go and,
within those walls

of that community,
remain very secretive.

Where is this place?

All right, Chile is a long
country going all the way up

from Peru down to basically
Antarctica.

And here we have Argentina.

Cross over the
Andes Mountains,

where Colonia Dignidad
once stood.

They've changed their name to
the Villa Baviera,

"the Bavarian village."

Bavaria village?

Inside these cults,
the first rule is,

don't talk to outsiders.

It'd be a great place to hide.

But they're not gonna want to
talk about their Nazi past

or the cult past,
or any part of it.

Let's get Tim and Mike in there,
find out what's,

you know, what it is.

I can't think of
two better people

based upon their backgrounds
in special forces.

It's not going to be easy,
but they can do it

and minimize the attention
that's drawn upon them.

Let's get into
Colonia Dignidad.

Look at this.

You're isolated.

You control the area.

narrator: In the remote
foothills of the Chilean Andes,

Tim Kennedy and Mike Simpson
join forces,

along with their translator,
America,

in hopes of gaining entry
into Colonia Dignidad,

now known as Villa Baviera.

Mile marker-wise,
we should be getting close.

This is in
the middle of nowhere.

Yeah.

Colonia Dignidad
was put here for a reason.

They wanted to be isolated.

Tactically, if you're hiding
a high value target,

Colonia Dignidad
is flawlessly selected.

It's mile after mile after mile
of nothing.

Should be coming up
on our turn.

Villa Baviera.

This is the name of it right?

Yeah, pull over right here.

I didn't expect a sign.

"Complejo turistico."

Tourist complex.

Colonia Dignidad?
Where's that at?

No reference to it,

just Villa Baviera,
that's it.

I mean, I realize that they
changed their name,

I just didn't realize that they
had changed everything.

Look at this.

Restaurant, hotel, events.

People get married out there?

This is disturbing, Tim.

We're going into something that,
to me, looks like a deception.

If they get wind
of what we're here for?

It's dangerous.

That makes the hairs on the
back of my neck stand up.

So how do we
want to play this?

I think if we go in
firing off questions,

using the word Nazi,
I don't think

that's gonna go well for us.

I don't think this can be
field interrogation style,

I think this need to be
passive collection style.

They have an agenda.

Let's let them think
that we're buying the story

and that we're on board
with the agenda.

Let's see what they show us.

If they're gonna treat this
like a tourist attraction,

we have to change our strategy.

So we're gonna go in
and we're gonna approach this

like a soft sell interrogation.

This is us letting them say

whatever they want to say.

If they're trying to
hide something,

we have to garner their trust,

so that eventually they'll let
their guard down.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Look at this.

Look at the fence change.

We're seeing this cheap,
four strand barbed wire

the whole way,
and then all of a sudden that.

Look!

See the rock?
- Yeah.

- What's it say on it?
- Villa Baviera.

This is their fence.

This high-grade fence
is theirs.

You know, last time I saw
a fence like that,

I was on a military base.

Look at this.

Guard tower.

Right away,
my spider sense is tingling.

I know something
was going on here.

Oh, my God.

There's no reason
to have that there,

except to cover the road.

They were setting up physical
and technological barriers.

This road's locked down.

This is the only way in,
the only way out.

All right, here--
we got a checkpoint.

They were protecting
a dark secret.

Do you see the cameras?

Look at the left corner
of the building,

over the top of the lights.

So at night,
you can't see those cameras.

What was it
that was so important

that it would be worthy of
keeping it a secret?

This is a fully functional
checkpoint.

Welcome to the utopian German
colony, Villa Baviera.

narrator: Next time
on "Hunting Hitler"...

If Adolf Hitler's bodyguard
was in Colonia Dignidad,

who was he protecting?

With or without their
cooperation,

we will get to the truth.

Nothing could go in or out of
Colonia Dignidad

without somebody seeing
it from here.

What the [bleep]?

Yeah, they're sound-proofing
this room.

They built guns.

There was also chemical
weapons, like sarin gas.

Sarin gas?

If you have a system
to disperse sarin,

you can take out
a major American city.

This isn't the
Fourth Reich in theory,

this is the Fourth Reich
in act.
