History Channel: Hunting Hitler

[GreyState]

Rumor is that 3rd season is filming...anybody else into this show?

I watched it last year, some pretty interesting stuff / theories. I'll watch it next season

 

[GreyState]

Pretty interesting...especially when separately, things like this are happening. Makes a good case that history books, and the general worldly consensus is not 100% accurate.

Great Show! They have really done some indepth research and follow up to put this together. I'm watching!

I just can't help but wonder if there will ever be a conclusion to the show, as in, "Yep! We found Hitler's body here in Argentina (or wherever) and DNA analysis proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that it's him." Or, will it turn into another Curse of Oak Island and go on and on in perpetuity, with each season claiming, "This season, we will finally solve the mystery!" I'll believe it (about both shows) when I see it.

The wife lives for Oak Island. I sit there and just laugh. The announcers is the best part of the show.

IKR? Just get back to us when you find the damn treasure already!

The theory that Hitler escaped after the war has been around since at least when I was a kid in the 1960's.
I remember hearing it said even then.
But in those days, it was said that even if it was true, Hitler's health was such that he wouldn't have lived very long anyway.

It's amazing that they can do an entire season where they just find a rusty nail and a tiny old coin.

The problem is that there's no reliable source for Adolf Hilter's DNA.
You would have to find Hitler's living relatives and have their agree to provide a DNA sample.
Even then you wouldn't be 100% sure since you wouldn't be using Hitler's father or Hitler's son DNA to compare it to the body you found.

The Russians have a piece of skull believed to have been Hitler's skull.
They recently (like 10 years ago?) did a DNA test on the skull and found out it was a woman's skull.
So they know for sure it's not Hitler's skull but if they found a male DNA they would not have been able to match it to Hitler's DNA witout a good sample.

DNA tests are only reliable if you can compare it to a reliable DNA sample which is almost impossible to get in the case of Hitler.

My guess is that Oak Island is just about done.

I thought they would make only one season but they managed to make five.

I will bet that this is the last one.
The show last Tuesday showed very little of them and no digging. It is done.

I'm still watching, but keeping in mind it's TV.

Maybe... Hitler was hermaphroditic... with female DNA but packin',.. and that's why he never reproduced?

This weeks show was a from another show the History channel did on the Knights Templar. . . they just blended the two together, even my wife is beginning to be upset with her Oak Island.

Hunting Hitler. . yes. Great show. And unlike Oak Island they actually find something every week.

I guess they're not really running "new" episodes of Oak Island, or as i call it choke island, due to the olympics.

I find the Hunting Hitler series very interesting. Whether or not they can prove Hitler made it to Argentina or not, who knows, but they have proven quite a few high ranking ss soldiers made it there.
