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

- If Hitler's fleeing Berlin,
he had an intermediate stop.

- Denmark makes
a lot of sense.

It's not like the Allies are
landing on the beaches there.

Until May 5th, Denmark was
still a Nazi stronghold.

- These are people
that can keep a secret.

These are people you can trust.

- You saw Hitler and several
comrades in May 1945.

Where did you see them?

In Tonder.

- In total clandestine
conditions,

you could land here.

- But if these trees did exist,

you're certainly not going
to get a big airplane in here.

- That discounts it completely.

- What if these trees
weren't here?

I'm going to take a sample
of this tree

and make a determination

on how long this tree
has been standing here.

These results could be
what makes or breaks the case.

[suspenseful music]

- There's no possible way

that somebody could get across
this body of water alive.

- This was a Nazi compound.

It was protecting one person
who was very important.

- Within 50 miles,
there are several small towns.

- We need names.

- Goering?

Goering is a founding member
of the Nazi party,

and in the event
of Hitler's death,

it was Goering who was
to become fuehrer.

21-year CIA veteran Bob Baer

Dr. John Cencich

are overseeing
a dual-pronged investigation.

While the European team
investigates

how Hitler could have escaped
from Berlin to Denmark,

the South American team

is investigating whether Hitler
could have eventually reached

a Nazi compound
in the jungles of Argentina.

- If I were planning
Hitler's escape,

I would go to Denmark.

In Tonder, Denmark,

they've uncovered
a secret Nazi air base

at the location
that SS Major Mackensen,

in his declassified
Nuremberg testimony,

placed Hitler arriving
from Germany.

- All the arrows
are pointing to Tonder.

Now, the issue
when they got there

and they looked
at this, Lenny,

was there were trees.

You couldn't land.

- We also have the results

of the tree-core analysis.

We had the dilemma
about the trees.

Lenny said,
"Let's take a look

and see when these trees
were actually planted."

♪

As you can see here,
that's just a little over 1950,

after the Second World War.

- So any aircraft
could land there.

- And take off.
- And take off.

- First, we have the Major
saying he saw Hitler,

and then the airport had
the complete infrastructure

that would have supported
fleeing Nazis.

I mean, it's all lining up
very nicely

into a consistent story.

All right, you get to Tonder,
and the question is,

what is the next place
that Hitler would go?

What sort of evidence
do we have?

Where could he have gone?

- Well, the only thing
that we can do right now

is to go deeper
into the statements

by the SS Major during
the Nuremberg trials.

- See what we come up with.

15 March, 1948, question--

"Hitler was at the airport?"

"Yes, Hitler was."

"You were all Germans?"

"Leon Degrelle is
the only foreigner."

Who's Leon Degrelle?

Don't have a clue.

"'If I had a son,

I would have
liked him to be like you.'"

If you're on the run, there's
very few people you would trust.

And clearly, he looked
at Degrelle as family.

- Therefore,
if Degrelle was with Hitler

in Denmark,

this is not
just a coincidence.

Let's see exactly what else
we might have on Degrelle.

♪

Oh, yeah.

In May 1945,

Mr. Degrelle managed to escape
in an airplane

and landed
in San Sebastian, Spain.

- Well, I mean,
that completely fits.

I mean, look, the date--
May '45--

he escapes in an airplane
from Denmark

and goes to Spain.

- Earlier
in the investigation,

we concluded that one
of the most likely places

that Hitler
would have gone from Germany

would have been Spain.

You begin to see a pattern.

- The obvious question is,
did he take Hitler with him

on the same plane?

- So I think we need to get
the team into San Sebastian.

Is there something
that we can find on the ground

that corroborates
that Degrelle

landed in an airplane

He took him in.

He gives him
a Spanish identity

- Franco felt that
he should be hiding Nazis,

and he didn't care.

He clearly would hide Hitler.

I have no doubt about that,
if Hitler showed up,

and he would have covered up
right and left.

Maybe Degrelle may have been
simply saying,

"Let's see if we can get
an airplane to San Sebastian,

if we can get through
Allied air cover."

that Degrelle was making

a dry run
for Adolf Hitler,

that same route at a later date.

narrator: The team makes
contact with Graeme Wood,

a journalist
for "The Atlantic"

and lecturer
at Yale University,

who spent nine years
investigating the Bormann case.

- We have come across a man

who claims his father was
the driver of Martin Bormann.

- In Misiones, Argentina.

- I mean, what do you
think about that?

- It's possible.

I mean, we don't know
what happened to Bormann.

There's evidence
in both directions.

The official story
is that he left the bunker

and died on the spot,

but there was no one there
to witness that

except for the leader
of the Nazi Party Youth,

and a lot of people

were unwilling
to take his word or it,

including major historians
who saw possibly an alibi

to get Bormann to safety.

In the 1960s,
German authorities

excavate that area
to look for Bormann's bones...

It was embarrassing
for the West German government

to have a very,
very important figure

from the Third Reich
at large

and not being able
to track him down.

For someone as prominent
as Bormann to still be at large

would have been
just one more way

of pulling Germany
back into the past--

a past that it really
didn't want to remember.

A few years later in 1972,
the German authorities

for no real reason
of new evidence

searched again in the area

where Bormann
had allegedly died,

and miraculously
after having searched

that area already
in the 1960s,

in that very same spot,
they found his bones,

and they said,
"It's over. We found it.

No need to continue
looking for him."

The DNA analysis
showed that these bones

almost certainly
were Bormann's.

The question is,
were they always there?

Were they there
from May 1, 1945?

- But what's the evidence
that he lived?

- When people looked
at those bones

the evidence
was really not as clear

as I think
many would have liked.

Also suspicious--there was
the fact that the soil

that was attached
to the bones

had a kind of red,
iron-rich clay,

which is something

that you don't find
anywhere in Germany...

- We have a skull in Berlin

with clay that's only found
in South America.

This is a potential major break
in this investigation.

- And then in 1999,
the Germans decided

nobody would be looking
at these bones in the future.

- Like the Hitler case,
there was no forensics.

There was no good evidence
that he died.

They didn't have a body.

They didn't have a witness
they could completely trust,

and the fact is that the
forensics we do have are wrong.

That completely opens up
this whole thing.

Bormann is sort of the key
for Hitler's fate.

If Hitler did make it
to South America,

he took people with him.

- That's the bottom line,
isn't it?

Martin Bormann
very well may take us

one step closer
to Adolf Hitler.

narrator:
In Misiones, Argentina,

Gerrard Williams
and Tim Kennedy

have uncovered a Nazi network

with potential connections
to Hermann Goering

and Martin Bormann
in the area.

- We have to
break this network down.

We have to see how deep it goes
and where this web reaches.

- And who was here.
- Yeah.

narrator: Now they have located
the home

of a potential Nazi fugitive,

who may still be living
in the area.

- There was another guy as well
with the name Edmundo.

He was an old parachute soldier.

- We know that Misiones
is flooded with Nazis,

senior Nazis, SS.

You name it,
they were there.

We may have uncovered
a living Nazi in this town.

We need to go talk to him.

- I think it's on the other
side, actually.

Where he was born,
how he grew up?
