Previously on "Hunting Hitler"...

This is from June 12th, 1945.

"At this time, the decision had been taken

to divide the ministries in two parts

and establish one government in the north

and one in the south."

What this file tells me is they're splitting up,

creating multiple escape routes.

Tim found both the U-boat and the seaplane near each other.

Look at this. OSS, predecessor of the CIA.

"I have spoken about refueling seaplanes from U-boats."

What these U-boats are

are gasoline stations in the middle of the Atlantic.

This document opens up a whole new set of options

for Hitler to get out of Europe.

This is the logical end of the northern route.

We now have to figure out whether the southern route

would've also gotten him to South America.

The Red Cross was actually producing legitimate documents

with false identities.

The documents were something that was secure,

so if they had those documents,

they could easily get out of Rome.

Once they'd got a real passport, they're home free.

This is the last piece of the puzzle, then.

All roads lead to Rome,

and then from there to Buenos Aires.

HUNTING HITLER - SEASON 3 EP - 6 - Lurking Beneath the Surface

We've established two routes, and they worked.

We're talking about thousands upon thousands of Nazis

who got out using one of these two routes.

21-year CIA veteran Bob Baer

and former terrorist targeting officer Nada Bakos

are using an asset-mapping strategy,

tracking Hitler's known associates

to pinpoint where he could have gone after the war.

After investigating across four countries in Europe,

the team has found two well-organized

and highly sophisticated escape routes

that could have been used

to get Hitler safely to South America...

One to the north through Norway

and one to the south through Italy.

The core of this story is, had Hitler gotten out,

he could have made it to South America.

Hitler could have taken either the northern

or the southern escape routes.

What we found in Europe was extraordinary.

These routes were planned to perfection,

and they were all organized

to get Hitler and senior Nazis to Argentina.

We showed that, if Hitler got to South America,

he would have had multiple safe houses in Argentina.

Previously in the investigation,

Bob and the team uncovered multle locations

that Hitler could have used to hide

within the interior of Argentina,

one in Misiones...

You have observation posts, structures, defense positions.

This is way more than a hideout in the jungle.

...and another in Bariloche.

It's perfect for a high-value target.

Looks like a little guard shack.

You put a machine gun right there,

you can cover this entire body of water,

and nothing could get through.

We've looked into Argentina,

but we have not been looking at Buenos Aires.

That is the end of the route.

For me, Buenos Aires is still a question mark.

Adolf Eichmann, we know, gets captured up there.

In 1950, Adolf Eichmann fled to Buenos Aires, Argentina,

where he lived in a modest house

and worked as a foreman for Mercedes-Benz

under the alias Ricardo Klement.

Essentially, living in the open,

he felt safe.

What were the Nazis doing there?

What's the connection?

We'd never really looked at any of the reports from there,

and I think it's time we do.

Let's do a search... Nazis, Buenos Aires.

We have a report from March 24, 2015.

"In Laguna de Rocha, a seaplane had to make an emergency landing

on October 31, 1945,

then continued to Buenos Aires.

Incognito, it was rumored

there were former Nazi officials and a cargo of gold onboard."

We have a seaplane landing on the 31st of October, 1945.

Supposedly, it's got Nazis on it and a cargo of gold onboard,

and then they go to Buenos Aires.

This is totally incredible.

Here's Laguna de Rocha.

Here's Buenos Aires.

It's 230 miles.

We're connecting the dots.

We know we have a seaplane in Norway.

We found it.

If this report turns out to be true,

we know where the seaplanes are going.

They're going to Buenos Aires.

I'm interested in why they think

there were former Nazi officials onboard.

We have to get to the bottom of this story.

I want some evidence this plane really did land there

and if there were Nazis and gold on this airplane,

or is it just more mythology?

We need to get the team to Laguna de Rocha

to see if there's anybody they can talk to.

We keep coming back to Argentina,

and now we're coming back in a big way.

Everything coming out of Europe,

whether it's the northern route line, southern route line,

everything comes back into Buenos Aires. Yeah.

U.S. Army Special Forces Tim Kennedy,

U.S. Army Green Beret Mike Simpson,

and their local contact, Dante,

land in Laguna de Rocha, Uruguay,

where a seaplane carrying high-ranking Nazis

was rumored to have made an emergency landing.

This has to be the lagoon right here.

Yep.

It is a very real possibility

that even Adolf Hitler could have arrived in South America

on a plane just like this.

We're going to investigate to determine

if the seaplane did, in fact,

make an emergency landing here in Uruguay

and see if there's any possibility

that there were any Nazis using this seaplane to escape.

Let's go talk to him.

The team makes contact with Don Tito,

a local resident who lives only 500 yards away

from the alleged landing site

and who claims to have witnessed the crash firsthand.

Thanks for taking the time to talk to us.

We were told that you were a witness to an airplane,

a seaplane crash that happened in the lagoon.

How old were you when the plane crashed?

Can you tell us everything that you remember

about when that plane crashed?

He remembers there was a crash and a splash.

He has the image and the sound of that,

and he says he saw it from here,

from this place, two blocks that way.

Around 40 and 50.

Okay. 50 passengers.

And they were mainly German.

The local enforcement took a very quick action on it,

and they had ambulance waiting for them on the shore.

So, without the aid of cellphones,

they responded very, very quickly.

Do I have that right?

The local enforcement appeared very quickly. Yes.

He remembers this plane coming towards the lagoon

followed by three...

Tres

By three little planes like a convoy

trying to rescue or guide them to the lagoon.

What kind of a commercial plane flies with an escort?

The fact that there were three planes accompanying the seaplane

is something I find very interesting.

This tells me this was not a typical airliner of any sort.

This was something important

possibly containing a high-value target.

What ultimately happened to...

They replaced the broken engine and fixed it.

Have you ever heard that there were Nazis

or Nazi gold on this airplane?

He cannot say or confirm that's true.

Do you personally believe

that these men that were on the plane were Nazis

or that there was Nazi gold?

- No. - He can't get into that,

but one of the passengers had bodyguards,

and that's all he recalls.

I mean, he's afraid.

He's scared even after all these years.

This is something that we have seen

time and time again in this investigation.

People don't want to talk about it.

Even 70 years after the war has ended,

people are still scared to talk about Nazis.

For Mike and I, this is the biggest red flag.

In 1945, if you have 40 people on a seaplane

with bodyguards and escort,

this couldn't be anybody but the highest level,

upper echelon of the Nazi Party.

If we can find something physical from that plane,

that could propel this investigation forward.

Let's go take a look.

Don Tito leads the team to the shore of the lagoon

where the seaplane reportedly landed over 70 years ago.

So where was it?

About 300 meters from here.

300 meters out?

We now have a specific reference point to the search.

Evidence could be waiting for us to find

on the bottom of that lagoon.

This could be the launch point to finding out

if the seaplane did land on the lagoon

and if this plane was truly transporting high-level Nazis.

If there's something there, we'll be able to find it.

Absolutely.

- This is secluded. - Very.

You don't get moreural than this.

In Laguna de Rocha, Uruguay, Tim Kennedy and Mike Simpson

investigate a report

claiming that in 1945, a seaplane

rumored to have been carrying high-ranking Nazis

made an emergency landing at a local lagoon.

We need to find anything that would definitively prove

if this plane was here

and if it's truly transporting high-level Nazis

from Europe to Buenos Aires.

These might be our guys right here.

In hopes of uncovering evidence

that a seaplane landed here over 70 years ago,

Tim and Mike are joined

by a local marine surveying team...

How you doing?

...to help them scan the waters of the lagoon

for any pieces of the plane that may still remain.

We have an eyewitness and a document

that says a seaplane landed in this lagoon.

They had an emergency landing.

We need to find bits of the aircraft in our search area.

Does that work?

Yes. We can help you there.

Awesome.

They know the lagoon,

so they can help us out with this, for sure.

Let's get the equipment on the boat

and see what we can see.

All right?

Something could be preserved in this lagoon very easily.

You know, you don't have lots of swell.

You don't have a lot of movement.

There's very little tide shift.

If something dropped off 70 years ago from this aircraft,

there's a good chance we're going to be able to find it.

Tim, this is Mike. Radio check.

Mike, I got you, Lima Charlie.

We are approaching our target area.

We're going to go ahead and put the side-scan sonar

into the water and start our search.

Although the water is only four feet deep,

a heavy silt layer and poor visibility

make it difficult to locate any objects below,

so the team will deploy side-scanning sonar

to penetrate to the lagoon floor.

If we didn't have the side-scan sonar,

there would be no point in even conducting this search.

The water is so incredibly murky.

Using a grid-pattern search,

they'll investigate the 300-square-yard crash site

identified by the eyewitness.

One boat will survey with sonar while the other drops buoys

to mark any points of interest.

All right, Mike. Sonar is in the water.

Sonar is in the water.

Roger that.

Right now, we're in our target area,

and we are recording.

GPS is running.

If something is going to be down there,

we should be able to see it.

I hope you're right.

There's no telling what's actually in the lagoon...

You know, fishing nets, motors, transmissions out of cars.

That silt can cover and disguise anything,

so we have to be precise in our movements,

and we have to be methodical in our search pattern.

All right. We're going to be doing

our turn here in a couple minutes,

finishing this line.

And nothing on there.

Hey, hey, hey, right here, right here.

We got something right here.

About a foot in width

and maybe a foot and a half in length.

Copy that, Tim. We'll go ahead and mark it with a buoy.

Standing by for countdown.

Five, four, three, two...

Located 275 yards offshore,

the team has identified a small man-made object

on the lagoon floor.

We're almost at the end of the search line.

All right.

We got about another

50 to 100 meters of our search area.

Copy that.

Hey. Hey, hey, hey.

Right here, right here, right here.

All right. Hey. We got another target.

Look at that. That's a big one.

This thing is a clear line. Solid, flat line.

It's about 5 or 6 feet in length,

and it's a solid return, hard return coming back.

That sonar is coming off something dense, for sure.

All right. 10 feet. Get set. Here we go.

Three, two, one.

Drop, drop, drop.

Buoy is in.

These are more or less in a straight line.

This is where Don Tito said things are going to be,

and now we're finding stuff.

The team has located two areas of interest

within 100 yards of each other, positioned in a straight line

following the general path the seaplane reportedly took

when it landed in this lagoon over 70 years ago.

All that's left to do now that we've got them marked

is get suited up and get in the water.

Let's head back to shore, grab our wet suits,

and then try to recover whatever the buoys are sitting on top of.

With two anomalies identified

on the floor of the shallow-water lagoon,

the team will conduct a reconnaissance

of the target area on foot.

We're hopeful that these are something

left over from this aircraft,

something to give me a clue

as to if the seaplane did land on the lagoon

and who was onboard and what it was carrying.

We have our targets.

Now we just need to go see

what's underneath those buoys.

All right. Got the first buoy right there.

Perfecto.

I'm getting in.

So stay kind of, like, feet distance apart.

Yeah. Sounds good.

Let's try not to get cut on anything either, though.

You have anything over there?

Nothing.

Something just moved in my fingers.

Oh, that... Whoa, that's big.

Yeah.

It's coming all the way out to here.

A little bit stuck. Yeah.

I got it. I got it.

One, two, three. Three.

Holy

That... The hell is this thing?

Looks like it's been down there a while, huh?

It's busted up for sure.

Yeah, it is.

This looks like where it was torn off...

Yeah. ...right here on this end.

This looks like it's an engine part.

This is coming off something big.

That is not from a boat motor. Yeah.

This has no business being out here. No.

We found something in our target area.

Clearly, it's a part of a motor,

but I don't know if this is part of our aircraft.

We have to keep looking.

With anomaly one identified as a potential engine part,

Mike and Tim walk 100 yards to the area of anomaly two.

Last marker. This was the biggest echo.

All right.

Aah!

What do you got?

There's, like, a sharp edge right here.

Something here.

How big is this?

Tim, this is big, whatever it is.

Loosen it? No, I can't move mine.

All right. It's moving now.

Back and forth? Yeah.

This is metal. Yeah, go left and right.

Go left and right.

It's way in the muck.

Let me get my feet up under me.

Ready?

Holy

Is this aluminum?

Yep. Look at the damage.

It just sheared at the end here.

This is an airplane propeller.

100 percent.

Mike, we got it.

This is exactly what we're looking for. Yeah.

I mean, this is exactly where Don Tito

said the airplane landed.

You want corroborating evidence?

This is it right here. Yeah.

Is there any other reason that this propeller

would be out in this lagoon?

None whatsoever.

It's in the lie of where we know the aircraft came in.

It's an aircraft propeller.

Certainly has been down there a long time.

We have now found physical evidence

that there was a plane here,

but that doesn't tell us what that plane was doing here.

We still have to get more information

to be able to know if there were Nazis onboard.

Who could possibly be on this airplane?

This thing is huge, enormous.

Bob and Nada review the findings from the field team

235 miles outside of Buenos Aires, Argentina,

where they have uncovered physical evidence

of a 1945 emergency seaplane landing

that, according to a Uruguayan report,

was transporting Nazi war criminals and gold.

The team scanned the area, and they found two items.

One was possibly an engine part,

and the other one is a propeller,

and it's a fairly large propeller.

It's not off a small plane.

We at least have some evidence to place the seaplane there.

Now the question becomes how do we confirm

that the passengers onboard were actually Nazi officers? Yeah.

Our eyewitness, Don Tito, told us that the seaplane

had three other planes accompanying it.

He talked about at least one of the passengers

having bodyguards.

Who takes bodyguards with him in a plane

traveling through South America?

None of this makes any sense at all.

If what the eyewitness said is true,

this does not sound like a typical commercial flight.

We don't know for sure what those other planes were.

Were they there for deterrent or defense?

We need to see how many more pieces we can add to the puzzle.

We know this plane could have landed there.

It begs the question, who was on it?

We have to separate the myth from the fact here.

We're coming up to the main point in Montevideo.

He's right here on the left.

Tim and Mike land

125 miles east of Buenos Aires

where their local contact, Dante,

has arranged a meeting with Jose Aldunate,

a man whose father was one of the first people

to respond to the seaplane crash in 1945.

¿Qué tal?

Now we know that plane made the emergency landing

in Laguna de Rocha.

What we don't know is what this flight was and who was on it.

We need to know about the passengers onboard

and the cargo this plane was carrying.

Thanks for taking the time to talk to us.

Your father was present during the evacuation?

When they evacuated everybody off the plane,

what did that look like?

Can you describe to me what the people look like?

Did they take all the cargo?

Did they take everything that was in the plane?

They took everything from the plane.

Right away? Right away.

The commander, the pilot of the seaplane,

and his father, they became close friends.

They spent about two days together fixing the plane

and speaking about previous flights.

Do you think that the commander of the seaplane

was working directly for the Germans after the war

and flying Nazis?

What was the present that the pilot gave your father?

You have it?

You have the thing that the pilot gave to your father?

I want to see it, please.

Everything that Mr. Aldunate tells us is very interesting,

but at this point, it's all just conjecture.

It's all speculation.

We need some physical proof

to link Nazis with this aircraft.

What is this?

It's in German. Schwimmweste.

Oh, my God. Is that what I think it is?

This is a swastika.

The life vest from the pilot was German-made,

German-manufactured, has a swastika on it.

This can prove that there were Nazis onboard that flight.

Did your father ever speculate

as to what he thought this pilot was doing?

Mm-hmm.

He says that this pilot flew through South America

where there was some Nazi communities.

And he would land at the Paraná River in Misiones?

Yes, Paraná River.

We know that the Nazis were in Misiones.

This feels like military barracks.

You could shoot straight across this.

This is going to give you an elevated position

to rain down hell.

Another layer of protection for who is behind it.

He also mentioned the Atlantic Coast of Argentina

in Santa Cruz and Buenos Aires,

and he mentioned the final destination,

which is Patagonia.

Do you know what specific lakes in Patagonia?

That's the lake next to Bariloche.

So he would fly, and he would land in the Paraná River,

and he would land in Bariloche

where we know there are a dense population

of high-ranking Nazis.

Hundreds of Nazis came here at the end of World War II.

This is a refuge.

We're talking a mansion 40 miles away from anywhere.

Hey, I've found what I think is a ramp for seaplanes

coming right up to the front of this property.

This is massively significant, that this plane could fly

all the way from Europe to here

and then go to Bariloche.

This seaplane and this pilot were making landings

all throughout South America... Places that we've been before.

This is not a coincidence.

This was part of a Nazi shuttle service.

We look at the evidence,

and no individual piece tells a whole story,

but when you start stacking them up, they do.

Bob and Nada review the findings from South America

where the team has uncovered evididce

that a seaplane was shuttling Nazis

from Buenos Aires to key outposts in Bariloche

and the Paraná River near Misiones.

So the eyewitness tells us that the seaplane lands.

His father actually helps repair the plane,

talks to the captain, who's pilot of the plane,

who tells him 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.

It was like a Nazi charter flight.

This is a legitimate way for Nazis

to be able to travel within South America.

Yeah.

We are starting to connect

these Nazi facilities

with a way to transport people back and forth.

I think we found the transportation system the Nazis used

to get around South America,

and that's a seaplane leaving from Buenos Aires

into the interior.

You need connections between the various German areas,

and this seaplane would give you that.

When we started this investigation,

it was Nazis made it to some remote area and hid out.

But now we've got airplanes that are going around South America.

The evidence is stacking up.

Everything we've seen... Communications, transportation,

facilities, gold,

they actually have the makings

of a Nazi state in South America.

The Nazis really did have a plan.

They were going to flee Europe,

and they were going to start the Fourth Reich in Argentina.

The question is, where was the capital?

We know it wasn't Misiones.

It's too remote.

Was it Buenos Aires?

We got to get the team to find out.

There are still people out there

that do not want this story told,

so anything that can actually firm up

this end of the story would be brilliant.

Tim Kennedy, Gerrard Williams

and their local contact, Dante,

are in Buenos Aires, Argentina,

following a new lead that could change

the course of their investigation.

In Argentina, they do not talk about the Nazis.

There's a wall of silence.

70-something years on after the end of World War II,

it's still here.

If we're going to break through that wall,

it has to be handled very, very sensitively.

The team has secured an exclusive meeting

with investigative journalist Héctor Amudo,

who has spent his career

infiltrating Nazi networks in South America.

Héctor Amudo. Nice to meet you.

He is rumored to have access to a collection

of never-before-seen documents

outlining the Nazis' escape through Buenos Aires.

We were told that you have information

about the movement of Nazis in Argentina,

specifically in Buenos Aires.

Did you ever get to meet this informant in person?

Day after that, he received an e-mail

with some documents related to the right links.

5,000 documents?

There were migration documents,

and he believes they don't exist

anywhere in the world nowadays.

So there are no public archive versions of this or anything?

No. No.

These documents may be key to discovering

how the Nazis actually operated in Argentina.

It's vitally important that we get

to the real source of this information.

That means seeing the documents for ourselves

and talking to the man who has them.

What's this man's name?

He cannot reveal his name.

It's paramount that we talk to him, your informant.

He says he's going to call and try to convince him.

If we want to see these documents,

if we want to go and talk to this informant,

Héctor is our chance.

How'd it go?

Great. Ah, well-done.

There's some conditions, you know.

There's no showing of his face. Right.

We agree to those conditions. Yes.

You know, just tell us when and where to meet him.

This level of effort to remain anonymous

means that he could have groundbreaking evidence

and information about this investigation.

There's no telling what this informant has,

but this could break this investigation wide open.

We have one more turn.

Okay.

In Buenos Aires, Argentina,

Tim and Gerrard's local contact

has arranged for the team to meet with an informant

who claims to have in his possession

a large quantity of documents

regarding the movement of escaped Nazis

through Buenos Aires.

He sounds really nervous,

so we're just going to have to make sure

that, even though the cameras are there,

that the cameras feel like they're not there,

and if he focuses in on it and gets really shy,

then we have a problem.

There's no telling how important or significant

this interview could become.

This might give us actual documentation

of what happened to Adolf Hitler

and other high-ranking Nazis.

Let's do it.

Just keep the camera down.

This is it?

-Hi.

Tim.

Due to the sensitive nature of his documents,

the informant has requested that the team

keep his identity a secret.

Really appreciate you taking the time to talk to us.

We're not going to use anything

that will put you or your family in jeopardy.

We can disguise your voice.

We can blur your face.

We just want to see the information.

We understand that you have documents

that detail the movement of Nazis in Argentina postwar.

That's correct.

Could you tell us where you got these documents from,

how u came to get your hands on this information?

He's a senior party member, your granddad?

There's an organization that was founded by major Nazis.

His grandfather, being part of this community,

received these documents.

Then when his grandfather passed away,

he found files, documents.

Was there a name for that group?

Die Spinne was operating in Argentina?

We have investigated Die Spinne before.

On the 10th of August, 1944, many wealthy German expats

as well as many Nazi officials,

under the supervision of Martin Bormann,

met to plan the formation of...

This was a network that could, with great numbers and ease,

transfer the highest-level Nazis out of Europe.

His grandfather was at the center of Die Spinne.

He helped and facilitated

the movement of high-ranking Nazis,

maybe even Adolf Hitler himself, into Argentina.

Do you want to see the accountant's book?

Yeah. Yeah.

The numbers, is that money?

This is $288,000.

Somebody is moving over a quarter of a million dollars.

Dollars? Dollars.

These are massive sums of money.

This is them counting every single dollar

of them moving people from Europe

to Argentina and South America.

Somebody was funding it.

Somebody is financing it to a huge level, so much money.

What we have in our hands is a ledger

which details transactions that pay for the ships

that are bringing the Nazis across the Atlantic

to their new home in Buenos Aires.

Do you have any other documents of specific individuals

about their movement, how they came here, immigration?

Said we should go upstairs.

Can we see them?

These are all related to the immigration?

So every one of these is an individual document

of immigration.

This is a massive amount of information

and a ton of documents.

In the hopes of finally setting history straight,

the informant has granted the team

exclusive permission to review,

for the very first time,

his cache of hundreds of documents

that have been kept under lock and key

for nearly 70 years.

What this informant was showing us is amazing...

Stack after stack of immigration documents,

and if Adolf Eichmann, Martin Bormann,

or even Adolf Hitler is in there,

that changes history.

This is a treasure trove of information.

This is the Atlantis of how Nazis are being moved.

So every one of these is an individual document

of immigration.

In Buenos Aires,

Tim and Gerrard prepare to inspect

a private collection of secret, never-before-seen documents

that could shed new light on Nazi war criminals

moving into Argentina after World War II.

These are proof of these Nazis coming into the country.

Yeah.

The potential of what these documents may contain

could rewrite history.

This could be hard evidence on paper

of Nazis entering Buenos Aires.

Whatever information we gather,

it could lead us directly to Adolf Hitler himself.

These are amazing.

I've not seen documents like this before.

I would like to call a friend in the archives in Buenos Aires

and see if she can come and just take a look at these

and tell us they're real.

- No problem. - Brilliant.

Okay.

It is imperative when you come across information,

documentation that is this significant to history,

that it has to be authenticated.

You know, it has to be vetted.

It has to be shown to be truthful and accurate.

Lucrecia, thank you very much.

Good to see you. Mm, and you.

Tim and Gerrard enlist the help of Lucrecia Kessig,

document verification expert

from the Argentine National Archives,

whose extensive knowledge

will help the team authenticate the documents.

So, these are our documents.

Okay.

Lucrecia from the National Archive

has been helpful before,

especially in some of my research in Buenos Aires.

She knows her stuff, so she'll be able to tell us

whether this mound of documentation that we have before us

is real and is from the period.

We're going to get a professional in to tell us.

Okay.

So in your professional opinion...

Thank you.

What Gerrard and I have to do now

is go through every single one of these documents.

We're trying to find high-ranking Nazis.

We can't miss a single detail.

How many boxes?

We're getting through them.

So 1945, 300,000 people came to Argentina.

In 1946, 351,000 came to Argentina.

That's a lot of people moving in and out of the country.

How many of them are Nazis, Tim?

How many of them were fascists?

How many of them were the worst creatures on the planet?

Some more...

More immigration? ...disembark. Yeah.

Yeah. Immigration disembarks.

Recognize any of these people?

The ship manifest, Tim. Passenger numbers?

Yeah.

And number 920 sticks out like a sore thumb.

Last name on the list, typed in black.

Gregor Helmut, Gregor Helmut, NN, Gregor Helmut.

Helmut Gregor, Tim, is Josef Mengele.

And Josef Mengele is one of the most foul creatures

the world has ever produced,

the camp doctor at Auschwitz,

Auschwitz's Angel of Death.

This is his alias? This is Josef Mengele's alias?

One of the many he uses, but it's the first one he uses.

It looks like it's been added on.

Maybe he's late to join the ship.

Holy

We know how Helmut Gregor is actually Josef Mengele,

one of the worst criminals in the Holocaust,

very, very senior in that Nazi network

and a man who is being not just given refuge in Argentina,

but being welcomed here.

We know, after World War II, Josef Mengele was never caught.

Following Mengele could lead us

directly to Adolf Hitler himself.

Next time on "Hunting Hitler"...

Look at that light bulb.

Oh.

It is a swastika. It's a beacon.

We now have a hydroelectric power plant here in Uruguay

that could have been producing heavy water,

one of the most important components

to a nuclear weapon from the Nazis.

The house that you saw Adolf Hitler...

Look at this fence.

Why do you need that out here?

This could be a perfect spot for an ambush,

a couple of guys with machine guns.

Nobody is getting through.

This might be a guard shack.

From this one position alone,

you could almost walk down this valley.

This is where Adolf Hitler could stay safe and secure

and live out his old age,

move his plans forward for the Fourth Reich.
