All language subtitles for Hunting Hitler - S03E07 - Target United States

Holy

Is this aluminum?

This is an airplane
propeller.
100%.

If you want
corroborating evidence,

this is it right here.

Kennedy: Do you think that
the commander of the seaplane

was working directly
for the Germans after the war

and flying Nazis
to Nazi communities?

Bakos: This plane went
to some of these

other designated areas
that you've already looked at.

Yeah. All the key areas --
Bariloche,

Misiones
and Buenos Aires.

To me,
this looks like Nazi Air.

These routes were
planned to perfection,

and they were all organized
to get Hitler

and senior Nazis
to Buenos Aires.

Williams:
This is a ship manifesto.

Last name on the list,
Helmut Gregor, Tim.

is Josef Mengele.

And Josef Mengele

is one of the most
foul creatures

the world
has ever produced.

**

Baer: This is the first time
I've ever seen a document

related to Mengele
coming in to Argentina.

We've heard people
talk about it...

Yeah.

...but we've had
no paper until now.

Narrator:
21-year CIA veteran Bob Baer

and former terrorist
targeting officer Nada Bakos

are utilizing
an asset-mapping strategy,

tracking Adolf Hitler's
known associates to determine

exactly where he could have
gone after World War II.

Mengele was
a well-known Nazi,

but this is the first time

he's come up
in our investigation.

This is
a big breakthrough.

Captain in the SS,
Iron Cross First Class,

but here's really
what he's known as --

the Angel of Death.

Narrator:
Dr. Josef Mengele

was a member or Hitler's
inner circle

and the key physician at the
Auschwitz concentration camp,

where over 1 million prisoners
were executed during the war.

Mengele oversaw deadly
medical experiments

and was personally responsible
for the selection of prisoners

killed in the camp's
gas chambers.

After the war,
Mengele evaded capture

and lived out his life
in South America

until he reportedly died
of natural causes in Brazil

in 1979.

He certainly would have been
a part of Hitler's network.

Josef Mengele was one of
the most wanted war criminals

in modern history,

but he makes it
to South America

and spends his
natural life there.

He was never arrested,
and what that tells me

is that he had a network
that was successful.

Tracking Mengele is
the best way to get to Hitler.

Narrator:
Bob and Nada utilize

state-of-the-art
link analysis software

to scan their 15,000
declassified documents

and map all sightings
of Mengele in South America

after the war.

Look at all
these sightings --

Peru, Bolivia, Paraguay,

21 locations,
7 countries.

Mengele was everywhere
in South America, basically.

You would
only cross borders

if you thought you could
get away with it.

He could go where he wanted
when he wanted,

but the question is,

are all
these sightings accurate?

It could be a lot
of disinformation.

Baer: So much
of what the Nazis do

was put out disinformation,
false leads, false clues.

It's just a matter
of trade craft.

We've got Mengele
in seven countries

and dozens of locations.

We need to find out
what's important

and what's not,
what you can trust.

Bakos:
We need to corroborate

either with official
government documents

or if we could find
other documents

from other
intel organizations

just to see if any of those
sighting reports are accurate.

Yeah.
I want to see

some hard intelligence
on these sightings.

Here we go.

U.S. Department
of Justice,

report from agent,
trip to Montevideo.

"Martha Mengele married
Josef Mengele in 1958

in Nueva Helvecia,
Uruguay."

We now have a small town
in Uruguay

where he supposedly
got married.

Nueva Helvecia
is right here.

It's only 70 miles
from Buenos Aires

across the water,

but Uruguay is not a place
we've really looked at.

Was there
actually some sort

of Nazi infrastructure
in Uruguay?

What did they have there?

It's our job to figure out,

was Josef Mengele
actually in Uruguay,

and what was
he doing there?

**

**

Kennedy:
We know after the war,

Nazis were pouring
into South America.

Yes.

We know they went
to Argentina.

We know they went
to Chile.

What we haven't
looked into is Uruguay.

Narrator: U.S. Army special
forces Tim Kennedy,

U.S. Army Green Beret
Mike Simpson

and their translator, Dante,
land in Nueva Helvecia, Uruguay,

in hopes of placing
Josef Mengele

in this area after the war.

This way, guys.

If you're a war
criminal on the run,

each and every time
you come up aboveground,

you risk being compromised.

For someone like Mengele
to move around that much,

to be in 21 different locations
in 7 different countries,

to me that implies he was doing
something very suspicious.

Narrator: The team makes contact
with Juan Durante...

...the head researcher

at the Nueva Helvecia
Regional Archives,

which houses hundreds
of thousands of documents

chronicling the history
of the town.

Simpson: Wow.

So we're looking
for marriage certificates

in the late '50s.

Let's divide
and conquer.

**

**

All right, Tim.
Here we go.

'57, '58,
and there's a ledger here.

Hey, Tim.

I got something I think will
narrow this down for us.

Let's look at it.

All right.
So let's start looking at names.

Yeah.
So this is January.

These names here...

-No Mengele here.
-Adolfo...

Adolfo Wittendorf.

22 of July, 22nd...

-Right here.
-Mengele.

"Mengele, Jose."

That's him.

Look at this.

"Marriage of Josef Mengele

and Martha Maria
Will."

So we've got some
official stamps here.

Look at this.

That's
Mengele's signature.

Oh, God.

He physically stood here
and signed his name.

Thing of how brazen
this is.

He's putting his real name

on an official marriage
certificate in Uruguay.

This guy was
never underground.

He just lived out
in the open the whole time.

Juan, we need more information
specifically about

what Nazis were doing
in Nueva Helvecia,

anything that would tell us
why Josef Mengele was in Uruguay

and what he was doing.

If Mengele was that comfortable
in this environment

that he could get married
right out in the open,

that means there were
much deeper Nazi ties here

than anyone had
ever thought before.

It's basically from
Paraguay, Uruguay.

This one is in English.

"The Gazette Montreal,"

June 6, 1940,

"Uruguay invasion seen
as a Nazi plan.

The German agricultural colony
at Nuevo Helvecia

dominates
the entire region."

There's a Nazi presence here.

A massive
Nazi presence.

This article also says
there is,

"Another important
support point at

Paso de la Toros near the Rio
Negro hydroelectric project

now being built
by the Germans."

Do you know anything
about that?

Paso de la Toros
is in Uruguay.

Is it reasonably close to here?

Three hours away, yeah.

We know what
they were doing

at the hydroelectric
power plant in Norway.

They're making
heavy water.

Heavy water is...
It was made here?

It was made here, yes.

This is Adolf Hitler
developing a component

for a nuclear weapon.

Now we have a hydroelectric
power plant

being built in Uruguay
by the Germans.

If they're making heavy
water here in Uruguay,

we have a real problem.

We have proof that
Josef Mengele is here.

Now we're going to find out
what he was doing here,

and that could be it.

Pasa de la Toros,
that's where we got to go.

We have Nazis building
a hydroelectric power plant

in the middle of nowhere.

Now we just need to know
what they're doing.

Narrator:
In Rincon del Bonete, Uruguay,

Tim Kennedy, Mike Simpson

and their local
contact Dante

land at a possible Nazi
hydroelectric plant

that is in the same area that,

according to reports,
Josef Mengele,

a top associate in Hitler's
network, was operating.

Kennedy: We know the Nazis liked
to use hydroelectric facilities

for making heavy water,

one of the most important
components

to a nuclear weapon.

Mike and I need to case
this hydroelectric facility.

We need to determine if it was,

in fact, a support location
for Nazis in the area,

and if s is this a point

that Josef Mengele would
come and operate out of?

-Tim.
-Mike.

Narrator:
The team makes contact

with Santiago Tricanico,

a journalist with
extensive knowledge

on the history of this massive,

400-acre hydroelectric facility.

He says that no doubt,
this was a Nazi place.

Simpson: Were they here
after the war?

Okay.
What were they doing here?

They constructed
a hydroelectric dam.

All the engineering
team was Nazi.

And that's why this also
was planned to work

as a lighthouse for aircrafts.

The only reason that
you're going to be

putting an airport here

is if you're moving
something valuable

or people
that are valuable.

You know, I think we need
to get up there

and see what exactly,
what they're doing here.

Yeah.
I agree.

**

**

Kennedy: From here,
you can see the river.

You can see the proposed
location of the airstrip.

You can see the dam itself.

Simpson: Yeah. This is
a great vantage point.

Can you enumerate exactly,

you know, how many people
were here,

what kind of buildings
they had?

Population was around
250 employees,

and mostly everything
was dedicated to the dam.

There were also ships
and boats

bringing in materials.

They have everything
they need here.

Building an airport,
they can land seaplanes.

They can bring boats.

They have energy with
the hydroelectric dam.

This could be their Manhattan
Project of South America.

This place scares me.

Yeah.
It's really sinister.

I want to get a better
look at that lighthouse.

Yeah.

**

What do you got?

So the lighthouse itself
is powerful.

The way that they were using
this to refract light,

you know, these are layers
of magnifying glasses.

Oh, those are thick.

And behind it, they have
reflectors and mirrors,

so that light bulb
is being condensed into here

and shot for miles
like a laser beam.

But this right here,

you can preprogram
Morse code.

So you could shoot messages

for as far
as it could be seen.

This could be a lot more complex
than we imagine it.

Everything about this place
says it was

a nexus of transportation.

If you're only
making electricity,

none of that makes sense.

Everything that we see says

there's something
more going on here.

Dante: He's got the original
light bulb

if you want to see it.

-Yeah.
-Yeah. Let's see it.

Oh, wow.
Holy

Look at that light bulb.

Simpson: Oh.

The filament is set up
in the shape of a swastika.

It is a swastika.
It's a beacon.

This is letting everyone know
that there are Nazis here

and they're not scared,

and they're going to
operate in the open.

Kennedy:
Now things are different

than it was 75, 80 years ago.

It's going
to be very difficult

to find out
what they were doing

here at this
hydroelectric facility.

Mike, can you read me, over?

Simpson: Roger that, Tim.
I read you.

I'm inside of that
massive building

on the back side of the dam.

The components that I see
are 21st century.

Definitely not what
the Germans built here.

You know, I have covered a ton
of ground at this facility,

and I have not found
any indication

that they are making
heavy water here.

We need to find somebody that
could have more information

about what they were doing here.

Narrator: The team is able
to get a meeting

with the plant's chief
engineer, Pablo Tomasile,

who is intimately familiar
with the machinery

that has been present
at this location

since it was built in 1937.

The Nazis that were
working here,

were any of them
experts in heavy water?

Did they have any
of that equipment here?

What they have
is the plans of a machine

called water resistance

related to for the use
in heavy water.

**

**

Your understanding is
that their intent

was the production
of heavy water?

Kennedy: We're trying to find
out the reason

why Josef Mengele came here.

I believe that we found it.

There was a plan in place
to make heavy water.

They had the means
to move it anywhere

in the world
from right here.

There's no doubt in my mind.

This hydroelectric facility
would be absolutely necessary

to facilitate the rise
of the Fourth Reich.

They're planning on making
nuclear energy

in South America.

All these pieces are
coming together very nicely.

Uruguay was central to
Nazi plans for South America.

Narrator: Bob and Nada review
the findings from Uruguay,

where a declassified
CIA document

claims notorious Nazi war
criminal Josef Mengele

was married in 1958.

So the team found this
hydroelectric plant

where they have a lighthouse
where they can use

Morse code
and communicate.

You know,
they found light bulbs

with the Nazi insignia,

so it's clearly putting
their mark on the plant,

and there were even plans
for an airstrip to be built.

This hydroelectric plant,

which may have been
in the process of converted

to making heavy water...

If you need infrastructure
for a Fourth Reich,

this would be
ideal for it.

Now we know why Mengele
was in Uruguay.

He wasn't just moving
around randomly.

He was operational.

He was on a mission
for the Fourth Reich.

What intrigues me
is Paraguay.

Why do we have so many sightings
of him in that region?

We don't know, but we have to
remember that Paraguay

was the perfect place
for Nazis,

especially Nazis building
the Fourth Reich.

Narrator:
In 1954, military officer

Alfredo Stroessner
staged a successful coup

to take control of Paraguay.

A known Nazi sympathizer,

Stroessner served as President
of Paraguay for 35 years,

leading a notoriously
oppressive regime

that tortured and killed
all political opposition.

In 1955,
Perón is overthrown.

Argentina is no longer
a safe haven.

The Nazis are going to
have to shift base,

and Paraguay is
the perfect place,

and it's right on
the border of Argentina.

Even if half of those
sightings are accurate,

he's doing
something up there.

The question is,
what's he doing?

Let's do a search
and see what we got.

Okay, Mengele, Paraguay.

We got something.

Look at this.

It's a CIA report.

"Dr. Josef Mengele is living
on the outskirts

of Colonia Independencia.

He speaks good Spanish
but with a German accent.

He doesn't touch
anything as though

he's afraid of
leaving fingerprints."

So this file is claiming
that Mengele

is in Colonia Independencia
in Paraguay.

This is
Colonia Independencia.

It's out of the way.
It's remote.

It's mountainous jungle.

Operating out of this area,
it makes total sense.

Is it a refuge?

Was he organizing something,
maintaining a network?

We've got to get up there
and find some sort of facts.

**

We're trying to find
any firsthand information

or evidence Josef Mengele
might have been

here in Paraguay.
-Yep.

Narrator:
Tim Kennedy, Gerrard Williams

and their local contact Laura

land in Colonia
Independencia, Paraguay.

Kennedy: If we can confirm
that Josef Mengele was here,

maybe we can get
more details

about what
his activities were

and if he's trying
to move the agenda

of the Fourth Reich here
in South America forward.

-This is it.
-Okay.

It's over here, over there.

This is the one.
Yes.

All right.

Narrator: The team makes contact
with Walter Menzell,

a man who claims
to have information

on Nazi activity in the area.

Hi, Walter. Nice to meet you.
Mucho gusto.

Kennedy:
Thank you very much

for taking the time
to talk to us.

We're under the impression
that you have information

about Nazis here.

Were there a lot
of Nazi-supporting people

that were living in
Colonia Independencia?

If a war criminal
from Europe fled

and came to Paraguay
in the 1950s,

do you think
they could find refuge?

What sort of year
are we talking?

How was he introduced
to the family?

What was his name?

Josef Mengele came
and stayed with you?

That's amazing.

Kennedy: This community,

right here
in Colonia Independencia,

was harboring and protecting one
of the worst Nazis in history.

If you're a fugitive on the run,

you have to go to known areas
that would protect you.

That's exactly
what we have here.

What I want to try
and understand

is if his father knows
that this is Josef Mengele,

why would his father bring him
to a house with two children?

What do you think Josef Mengele
was doing in this area?

So the consulate is Nazi?

It has to be.

Is that close by?

We got
to find this place.

If there's a Nazi consulate
that was operating

in Colonia Independencia,
that's important.

Not only could they be
protected and safe here,

the Germans here could
have the protection

and the support
of the government.

Thank you very much
for your time.

Williams:
Thank you so much.

Kennedy: With support
of the government,

there's no telling
what the Nazis

could have done
here in Paraguay.

**

Kennedy: The fact that they have
a German consulate here

is very telling about
the potential network

that the Nazis had here.

Narrator: In Colonia
Independencia, Paraguay,

Tim and Gerrard are
investigating

a declassified CIA file,

an eyewitness testimony
claiming that Nazi war criminal

Josef Mengele was operating
in this remote town.

Well, if we just split up,

we can do more
damage that way.

While Gerrard scours local
archives for more information

on Mengele's activities
in the area,

Tim and his translator Alejandro

arrive at a building rumored
to be a former Nazi consulate.

Look at that place.
Wow.

Kennedy: We have Josef Mengele
in this region multiple times.

Was he, in fact, trying to
set up a headquarters,

establish a network?

Maybe he's trying to move
the agenda of the Fourth Reich

here in South America forward.

He's here for a reason.

We need to figure out
exactly what that was.

Narrator: The team makes contact
with Benjamin Cabral,

the building's current owner.

He bought this place
from a German.

Okay.

So he knows some background
history from the place.

Can you tell me a little bit
about this building?

When we say
"German consulate,"

we're talking the Nazis.

This was
the Nazi consulate?

This is a Nazi embassy.

Alejandro:
Local Nazi supporters,

this place would be
like a gathering spot.

People from Germany would
come to recruit other Germans

to take them to battle.

This is a very strategic,
powerful center point.

Were the Nazis
able to operate

after the war freely
in this area?

The German people here
had a privileged position.

It is known that former
President Alfredo Stroessner

would give protection
to the Nazi supporters

in this consulate.

Who were some of the people
that he was protecting?

Were any of them working
or operating out of this house?

That's amazing.

We have Josef Mengele.

We have the headquarters for all
Nazi activity in this region.

Most importantly, he has
President Stroessner

protecting him.
He has government support.

This is
massive infrastructure,

and it's frightening to think
what they're capable of.

With Josef Mengele,
who is one of the most

sought-after war criminals
of World War II,

if he was able
to move around,

could other
high-level Nazis

move throughout this region
just as easily?

This is incredible.

**

Baer: Colonia Independencia
is a German community.

Look at this place.

Who is ever going to find
Mengele or Hitler out here?

Narrator: Bob and Nada
review the findings

from the field team in Paraguay.

I think this is
a big breakthrough.

We found Mengele
in Paraguay,

and there are even rumors
of Hitler coming through.

The team found a German
consulate for the Nazis

in Colonia Independencia.

This is a fairly active
consulate

in this
small community.

Mengele clearly had a role

in the government
in Paraguay.

And then you have
a sympathetic president.

So that
if Mengele is showing up

here in this village,

he can count on
the implicit support

of the Paraguayan
government.

It tells you what
kind of protection

Mengele
would have had here,

and now we have
a Hitler sighting.

I have no doubt that Mengele
could have hid him somewhere.

We have had multiple sightings
putting Mengele in Paraguay

because Mengele's on a mission.

He's protecting Adolf Hitler.

Now the question is, where could
you hide Hitler in Paraguay?

Go.
All right.

Here we've got a report
from Paraguay.

"Vestiges of Nazi military
presence in Paraguay.

Having detected remains
of military buildings

in the vicinity

of Bavarian-style houses
in Salto Suizo,

there is a high probability
that the use was to house

personnel for protection
of personalities

of the defeated Nazi regime."

This file is telling us

that there was a military
facility in Paraguay,

a Nazi military facility.

This is exactly
what I was looking for.

Sounds like Misiones,
doesn't it?

Narrator:
Earlier in the investigation,

the team determined that a
compound in Misiones, Argentina,

could have been the ideal
safe house for Adolf Hitler.

Kennedy: This is way more

than a hideout
in the jungle.

With extensive
security measures,

including multiple
lines of defense...

This is them setting
themselves up for success.

...machine-gun posts...

You could shoot
straight across this.

This is going to give you
an elevated position

to rain down hell.

...guard houses
and military barracks.

This is where you line up
bunk beds and put soldiers.

But in 1955, Nazi sympathizer

and President of Argentina
Juan Perón was overthrown

and Nazis no longer
had the support

of the Argentinean government.

Look.
Here's Salto Suizo.

You're only 100 miles
north of Misiones.

Look.
If we can find a compound

in Paraguay
that matches Misiones,

that's the key.

Baer:
I think this is great.

This sounds like Misioines,
but in Paraguay,

and I love the chronology.

Argentina closes down,
Paraguay opens up.

If we can find the military
compound in Paraguay,

I mean, this is like
chasing the holy grail,

the last pieces of this puzzle
that could tell us

exactly where Hitler ended up.

Bakos: Let's get the team
out there

to see what we can find
in Salto Suizo.

We absolutely have to go look
at this place.

**

We can disappear
into this city, gone.

Then you can go back
60 years,

I can't even imagine
how easy it would be,

especially when you have
presidential cover.

Narrator: U.S. Army special
forces Tim Kennedy,

investigative journalist
Gerrard Williams

and their local contact Laura

continue their investigation
into Colonia Independencia,

Paraguay, following
a declassified report

claiming that high-ranking Nazis

were hiding in a compound
in the nearby jungle

of Salto Suizo after the war.

The team makes contact
with Robert Hugo,

a man from a prominent
German family

that has lived in the area
for generations.

He claims to have
inside knowledge

of Nazi movements in the area.

Kennedy: We have a document
that says there were Nazi

military structures
at Salto Suizo,

but we need more information.

We need to know who was there
and what they're doing.

Williams: We're here to find out
as much as we can

about the compound
in Salto Suizo.

Laura: Okay.
He said, "No problem,"

that anything he knows
that is of interest to people,

to humanity,
he's going to help us.

There were rumors

Hitler got here
in Paraguay through Misiones

and that he was always
living in hidden places.

He was 17 years old.

He had already started
working as an electrician,

supervising electrical
installations.

He's telling me
he got to a house

where a couple
welcomed him.

When he got there,
he saw a person

with the physical
appearance of Hitler.

He asked somebody else

if this man
was Adolf Hitler.

His co-worker looked at him
and did this, like...

And that man, you believe,
was Adolf Hitler.

Try and go back to
that exact moment

and tell me every
single thing he remembers.

Okay.

This man had a very
thick mustache,

but not very tidy.

Tidy, yeah.

Right, and also,

the clothes were,
like, old.

He wore, like, old
German coats and, like...

How tall was this man?

He wasn't very tall.

Kennedy:
You know, listening to Robert,

every one of these details
perfectly matches

what we know to be true
about Adolf Hitler.

He said that he came
through Misiones

and landed here in Paraguay

and that he saw him
with his own eyes,

the exact same place
where we have a document

that says there's a Nazi
compound at Salto Suizo.

This is massive.

This house at Salto Suizo,

the house that
you saw Adolf Hitler,

I just need
a little bit of help

geographically being
able to locate it.

He's saying this was,
like, a wild area,

not many houses,

very beautiful place
with a small waterfall.

We got
to find this place.

**

Robert said it was
on the backside

through these mountains
near the waterfall.

Narrator: Following
detailed directions

provided by the eyewitness,
Tim, Gerrard and Laura

travel 3 1/2 hours
from the closest city

to the location
of a remote house

in the jungle of Salto Suizo.

It's been a hell of a drive
to get up here.

**

Look at this fence.

Barbed wire,
6, 7 feet tall,

why do you need that
out here?

This fence, this is reminiscent
of countless places.

I've seen it in Europe.

I've seen it in Chile.

Kennedy: The last time I saw
a fence like that,

I was on a military base.

The almost quintessential
embodiment

of what the Nazis
do for security.

To me, there's no doubting
who built this fence.

This is somebody that is
intimately familiar

with the way that
Nazis protect things.

We don't know what we're going
to find on the other side,

but I'm starting
to think this is big.

**

Kennedy:
Look at this fence.

Why do you need that
out here?

Narrator: Deep in the jungle
of Salto Suizo, Paraguay,

100 miles from
the nearest city,

Tim, Gerrard and their
local contact Laura

begin their investigation

of a remote mountain
compound that,

according to a declassified
Paraguayan file

and an eyewitness account,

could have been home to
a safe house for Adolf Hitler.

Narrator: The team makes contact
with Ricaso Gutierrez,

the property's caretaker.

Kennedy:
Who owns this house?

Okay.
He's saying around 1930,

a German man built this house,

and he also owned
all that land.

-Oh.
-That's a big parcel of land.

It's huge.

Williams: Someone's gone
to a lot of trouble here,

though,
many years ago.

Built a German home
on the top of a mountain?

Right,
to live a quiet life.

This fence, why do you
have this fence here?

To separate
his private property

from people and animals.

Wandering cows.

Yeah, a 7-foot-tall fence
with wire at the top.

I've seen fences like this.

It wasn't for cows.

Everything that we have seen
thus far is a good sign.

It's isolated.
It is remote.

You have a 7-foot-tall
barbed-wire fence,

the quintessential embodiment of
what the Nazis do for security.

But if Adolf Hitler
is in Salto Suizo,

it has to be defendable.

I need to know if they had

any other defensive
measures in place

on this property.

Gerrard and I have to go
check this place out.

So the one road in
and the one road out.

Narrator:
The potential safe house

is located
at the top of a mountain

with only two points of entry.

The first, a 2-mile-long access
road that was built in 1930.

The second, a 100-acre
swath of dense jungle

covering the surrounding
valley floor.

In order to uncover
whether this property

could have been
properly secured,

the team begins by investigating
the first entry point,

the access road.

See that?
-Mm-hmm.

Okay.

What is this
doing out here?

Narrator:
Two miles below the safe house,

at the entry to the access road,

the team discovers the remains
of a mysterious structure.

Walls are pretty thick.

Yeah.
The walls are very thick.

They're thick enough
to stop a bullet.

This might be
a guard shack.

Kennedy: These ruins
trigger a memory.

I've seen this type
of construction before.

Man, this is very similar

to those houses
in Misiones.

Note the size
of the structure...

**

...the way that
the windows were built...

...the type of nails
that they used...

...it is identical
to Misiones.

But if Adolf Hitler
is living here,

he's going to have more
than just a guard shack.

I need to go deeper
into the jungle.

I need to see what other
defensive measures

they had in place.

Narrator: Having found evidence
of a guard shack

controlling entry
to the access road,

Tim sets off on foot to uncover

whether defensive measures
were in place

at the only other means
of entry to the compound,

a 100-acre swath of jungle
along the valley floor.

There's a small waterfall here
with a rope bridge across it.

Looks like it would have
been here 75 years ago.

If you want to stop somebody's
ability to move through this,

a water crossing is
the perfect opportunity.

This could be a perfect spot
for an ambush,

a couple of snips of a wire,

a couple of guys
with machine guns,

nobody is getting through.

This is, without a doubt,
a choke point.

All right.
I'm going to keep pushing.

Narrator:
Tim has now found a rope bridge

that could have controlled
any access to the compound

through the jungle
along the valley floor.

Holy

**

Gerrard, I got to the base
of the waterfall.

It's about 100 feet up.

I'm inspecting the right
and left sides of it.

On the left side,
I see a ledge sticking out.

It looks like you can almost
walk right out onto it

even though you're
100 feet above the floor.

It would be an amazing
vantage point

to see back into the valley.

I'm going to try to get up
and see precisely what that is.

Understood.
Okay.

Be safe climbing up.

Narrator: Tim makes his way
to a ledge along the waterfall

that sits just 50 yards
below the safe house.

**

Go this way.

We've got a wall, maybe.

This right here...

Oh, this is clearly man-made,

chunks of metal
sticking out of it.

**

Looks like a chair.

Somebody's sitting up here?

Why would you stick
somebody up here,

put a chair, a flat floor
on the side of a cliff?

A chair, walls, flat floor,
perfect points of view,

you know, if I had fuel for
a fire, this is it right here.

Nobody is getting up
this valley.

From this one position alone,

you could just walk
down this valley.

This wasn't just a building
just randomly located

in the middle of a jungle.

This is strategic.
It's isolated.

It's protected.

You have a guard shack.

You have dense vegetation and
you have a security sentry point

on top of the waterfall.

This is where Adolf Hitler
can stay safe and secure

and live out his old age

and move his plans forward
for the Fourth Reich.

What were so many Nazis
doing in Chile?

They were setting the table
for something.

Wow.

Simpson: This is like
a black-site prison

where you send people
to disappear.

Man: The ultimate price
for noncooperation.

A Nazi-style concentration camp
flying a Nazi flag.

Oh. This is the last
will of Adolf Hitler.

It's here for a reason.

This is the final piece
of the puzzle.

I've chased a lot of fugitives
in my career.

This is no longer
a cold case.

You're right on his trail.

We've blown holes
in this thing from "A" to "Z."

Find me a body.
