An interesting theory...


What if Hitler was actually KILLED at Wolf's Lair on that day, and Goebbles and the rest of the SS decided to make everybody believe he was alive? In the movie you don't actually see Hitler after the bombing, you just hear his voice through the telephone, and it's Goebbles who is talking to "Hitler"'s voice.

Now my question is, to all WWII experts: Was any proof that Hitler WAS ALIVE after July 20, 1944?

Decoys do not suggest that Hitler was killed at Wolf's Lair.

I think you did not get what I meant.
That photo you posted can't be a proof of Hitler being alive at that time.

reply

Except that it is proof. Unless you're trying to say that a decoy was at that bunker instead of the real Hitler, and it was the decoy that married Eva Bruan. And, additionally, that the top Nazi commanders allowed a decoy to make all of the decisions regarding the war and their country for a full year between the events at the Wolf's lair and the end of the war.

So by this, a body double could pull off an impersonation so perfect that none of his soldiers, secretaries or near relations could tell the difference. That's a tall order of people to fool. Someone would've noticed and spread a rumour.

Hitler was most certainly alive. His two personal solder servants were captured May 2, 1945 and taken to Russia for interrogation by he soviets for a personal dossier for Stalin. The prisoners were kept separate, cruelly interrogated for 5 years about everything they knew about Hitler. They we both released in 1955 in Germany. The dossier was kept in Stalins personal papers and only read and made public about 10 years ago.

This is first person testimony and would be admitted in a court room. Hitler survived.

He was still alive as of March 1945, this video is proof:

I think he means that, in 20th July, Hitler was heard and not seen. Initially he was heard on the phone by Goebbles and then by Maj Remmer who sided it's Goebbles because he recognised the voice. His question is what if it was someone else impersonating Hitler.
However Hitlers voice was well known to all Germans, particularly Nazi party members and Remmer was a Nazi so would be inclined to follow the party anyway.
