That's big. 14 00:01:01,495 --> 00:01:03,564 We have a hit. 15 00:01:03,597 --> 00:01:06,334 Let's find out what it is. 16 00:01:06,367 --> 00:01:08,807 Throughout this investigation, Hitler has always left a trail. 17 00:01:08,836 --> 00:01:11,239 What lies beneath us might give us real evidence 18 00:01:11,272 --> 00:01:15,276 for the very first time of his plans put in action. 19 00:01:15,309 --> 00:01:17,845 This post-war Nazi machine was bigger than anything 20 00:01:17,878 --> 00:01:19,413 I could even have imagined. 21 00:02:09,397 --> 00:02:12,733 "The entire Nazi movement is completely 22 00:02:12,766 --> 00:02:15,936 and perfectly organized throughout the world." 23 00:02:15,969 --> 00:02:18,906 They weren't going to give up. They weren't defeated. 24 00:02:18,939 --> 00:02:22,443 They were going to keep going until they got back on top. 25 00:02:22,476 --> 00:02:25,313 Bob Baer, 21-year CIA veteran, 26 00:02:25,346 --> 00:02:26,847 and one of the most respected minds 27 00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:28,816 in the intelligence community, 28 00:02:28,849 --> 00:02:32,353 has spent the last two years overseeing a global manhunt 29 00:02:32,386 --> 00:02:34,622 to uncover the fate of Adolf Hitler 30 00:02:34,655 --> 00:02:36,857 at the end of World War II. 31 00:02:36,890 --> 00:02:39,527 Holy crap. That's a swastika. 32 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:41,962 Biggest criminal in modern history 33 00:02:41,995 --> 00:02:44,698 supposedly commits suicide in this bunker. 34 00:02:44,732 --> 00:02:46,400 But where is the body? 35 00:02:46,434 --> 00:02:49,603 There are no witnesses that saw him dead. 36 00:02:49,637 --> 00:02:51,639 We first started this investigation 37 00:02:51,672 --> 00:02:55,776 because we had no conclusive proof he died in the bunker. 38 00:02:55,809 --> 00:02:59,413 The body that was wrapped up in that blanket was not him. 39 00:02:59,447 --> 00:03:00,781 That's a problem. 40 00:03:00,814 --> 00:03:02,816 The more we kept digging, 41 00:03:02,850 --> 00:03:05,986 we established that he could've made it not only out of Germany, 42 00:03:06,019 --> 00:03:09,357 but he could have made it all the way to South America. 43 00:03:09,390 --> 00:03:13,494 And beyond that, we established there was a plan to get Hitler 44 00:03:13,527 --> 00:03:16,430 and thousands of Nazis to safety. 45 00:03:16,464 --> 00:03:20,701 This is a nasty nest of vipers right in the middle of Europe. 46 00:03:20,734 --> 00:03:24,572 Hitler would've had massive infrastructure, safe houses, 47 00:03:24,605 --> 00:03:27,007 money, military compounds, 48 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:31,679 and the support of a massive network of associates. 49 00:03:31,712 --> 00:03:35,649 This was not Saddam Hussein hiding in a spider hole. 50 00:03:35,683 --> 00:03:39,487 This was a well-organized, well-funded plan 51 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:44,392 that was set up years in advance to get Hitler to safety. 52 00:03:44,425 --> 00:03:46,527 He has everything that he needs to do, I think, 53 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:49,430 anything that he wants. And that's scary. 54 00:03:49,463 --> 00:03:52,666 In the last 70 years, no one has ever been this close 55 00:03:52,700 --> 00:03:55,002 to discovering the truth about Hitler. 56 00:03:55,035 --> 00:03:57,971 What we found is absolutely ground-breaking, 57 00:03:58,005 --> 00:04:01,442 but doesn't tell us exactly what happened to Adolf Hitler. 58 00:04:01,475 --> 00:04:06,380 We need to find where he went and exactly how he got there. 59 00:04:06,414 --> 00:04:08,349 Now we have to close this case. 60 00:04:08,382 --> 00:04:11,585 And to do that, we're going to change our strategy. 61 00:04:11,619 --> 00:04:14,788 We're going to do what every intelligence agency does 62 00:04:14,822 --> 00:04:18,459 when they want to capture their target. 63 00:04:18,492 --> 00:04:21,429 We're going to use a strategy called asset-mapping, 64 00:04:21,462 --> 00:04:23,864 which means uncovering his support network 65 00:04:23,897 --> 00:04:25,966 of close associates. 66 00:04:25,999 --> 00:04:29,537 And we are going to simply analyze these links 67 00:04:29,570 --> 00:04:33,374 and figure out how they may have helped him get away. 68 00:04:33,407 --> 00:04:34,608 This is what I've done 69 00:04:34,642 --> 00:04:36,544 throughout my whole career at the CIA... 70 00:04:36,577 --> 00:04:39,947 Looking at networks to track down high-value terrorists. 71 00:04:39,980 --> 00:04:42,950 To execute this new approach to the investigation, 72 00:04:42,983 --> 00:04:46,019 Nada Bakos, former terrorist-targeting officer 73 00:04:46,053 --> 00:04:48,055 and an expert in the asset-mapping method, 74 00:04:48,088 --> 00:04:49,857 joins the team. 75 00:04:49,890 --> 00:04:53,461 From 2000 to 2011, Nada was at the heart 76 00:04:53,494 --> 00:04:55,863 of the CIA task force responsible 77 00:04:55,896 --> 00:04:58,065 for dismantling the Al-Qaeda network 78 00:04:58,098 --> 00:04:59,667 and its biggest targets, 79 00:04:59,700 --> 00:05:03,404 Osama Bin Laden and Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. 80 00:05:03,437 --> 00:05:04,772 To take down a whole network, 81 00:05:04,805 --> 00:05:06,807 you work on one detail at a time... 82 00:05:06,840 --> 00:05:10,344 One person at a time, one piece of information at at time... 83 00:05:10,378 --> 00:05:12,480 That will eventually lead you to your target. 84 00:05:12,513 --> 00:05:16,617 You're going to build a picture which represents the network 85 00:05:16,650 --> 00:05:18,519 that's around the high-value target. 86 00:05:18,552 --> 00:05:21,355 If you want to hunt for somebody, go to Nada Bakos. 87 00:05:21,389 --> 00:05:23,391 She's one of the best. 88 00:05:23,424 --> 00:05:27,961 People put their lives in her hands based on her judgement. 89 00:05:27,995 --> 00:05:30,664 To find this guy, we have to understand 90 00:05:30,698 --> 00:05:32,533 where he went for help. 91 00:05:32,566 --> 00:05:35,936 Even the smallest connection can break this case wide open. 92 00:05:35,969 --> 00:05:37,738 Like Bin Laden. 93 00:05:37,771 --> 00:05:40,441 He relied on a courier to keep him alive, keep him safe. 94 00:05:40,474 --> 00:05:42,410 And they finally were able to capture him 95 00:05:42,443 --> 00:05:44,044 because of the courier. 96 00:05:44,077 --> 00:05:47,515 That's how you find people that don't want to be found. 97 00:05:47,548 --> 00:05:51,652 This is the final step in hunting a human being. 98 00:05:51,685 --> 00:05:55,155 And that needs to be the next step for this investigation. 99 00:05:55,188 --> 00:05:59,092 By taking apart that network, Hitler's got nowhere to hide. 100 00:06:05,599 --> 00:06:07,868 If we're going to map the assets around Hitler, 101 00:06:07,901 --> 00:06:09,603 the first step is looking at the family 102 00:06:09,637 --> 00:06:12,640 because they're some of the closest people to the target. 103 00:06:12,673 --> 00:06:15,443 And that usually gives us new pieces of intelligence 104 00:06:15,476 --> 00:06:16,910 that we can then follow. 105 00:06:16,944 --> 00:06:20,013 Well, I think absolutely we should start there. 106 00:06:20,047 --> 00:06:23,183 As Bob and Nada initiate their asset-mapping strategy, 107 00:06:23,216 --> 00:06:25,953 they're assisted by a first-of-its-kind database 108 00:06:25,986 --> 00:06:28,589 that combines powerful network search tools, 109 00:06:28,622 --> 00:06:30,123 link analysis software, 110 00:06:30,157 --> 00:06:33,727 and 14,000 recently declassified documents 111 00:06:33,761 --> 00:06:38,466 from every major intelligence agency around the world. 112 00:06:38,499 --> 00:06:40,534 So, this is Hitler's immediate family. 113 00:06:40,568 --> 00:06:44,137 And by the time he is 18, both of his parents pass away. 114 00:06:44,171 --> 00:06:46,674 And we can eliminate his half-brother, Alois, 115 00:06:46,707 --> 00:06:49,577 because they were estranged and didn't have a relationship. 116 00:06:49,610 --> 00:06:51,445 Four of his siblings died during childhood, 117 00:06:51,479 --> 00:06:54,014 so we can eliminate all of them. 118 00:06:54,047 --> 00:06:56,684 And what we have left is Adolf and his two sisters, 119 00:06:56,717 --> 00:06:59,453 Angela and Paula. 120 00:06:59,487 --> 00:07:01,755 The two sisters now should be our target. 121 00:07:01,789 --> 00:07:03,957 Let's find out what happened to them. 122 00:07:03,991 --> 00:07:10,564 Paula and Angela Hitler, April 1945. 123 00:07:10,598 --> 00:07:12,099 Look, we got a bunch of hits. 124 00:07:12,132 --> 00:07:13,734 Okay, we got...
