History Channel: Hunting Hitler

[Sylvain]

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.

I find the Hunting Hitler show more interesting too but I don't think they will find anything we don't already know.
It has been known for decades that Nazis made it to South America, North America as well.

Talking about Oak island, the older brother (Marty Lagina) has another treasure hunting show coming out next month. It is supposed to be about finding a lost Civil War treasure sunk in lake Michigan.

I like HH. I sometimes find that they take shaky evidence and run with it as gospel. I also don't trust some of the locals they interview. A lot of them appear to have been coached on how to react to questions or how to respond. It's just entertainment I guess.

I'm hooked on the Island, too. I read the same Reader's Digest article that sparked the Laginas when I was a kid and I've been hooked ever since. I read anything I cloud find about it for decades. I can't help it.

And then it's off to find Bigfoot.

I've been catching the "Tesla's Death Ray: A Murder Declassified" show during daytime repeats. One of the theories was Hitler had him assassinated.

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

No show of this sort has EVER actually found/discovered anything important. They're just stringing ya along and selling ad space in the meantime. Hitler died in his bunker. His ego and sense of history would allow no other option.

That's what I'm thinking. The latest "distraction" on Oak Island is "Oooh look! Templars!"

Only treasure on Oak Island is the TV show Oak Island.

Hitler's escape is probably the only "conspiracy theory" I actually believe. I think his narcissism takes suicide off the table. I just doubt his health issues would have allowed him to get too far if he did get out of the bunker. All of the alleged sightings of him in South America seem kind of suspect to me though, so I doubt it'll ever been proven.

 

[Jagermeister]

I watched last years series and haven't started the new series. I have no doubt that they are right on. When he dies is the question and where.

Entertainment, not history. These types of shows string together a bunch of unrelated facts, throw in a few outright lies, and rely on your ignorance of the details that are already known to make something sound convincing.

I always love all the shows looking for the "lost" Confederate gold. You only need read what Jefferson Davis wrote after the war to know where it went. It was never a secret, and it's not at the bottom of Lake Michigan.

Since this thread kind of turned into the Oak Island thread, I will just continue you it here.

New season of Oak Island starting now. The wife is glued to the TV, she loves this stinkin show.

Maybe they will fine another rusty old nail or a tiny coin this season!

Yuppers. To my knowledge no show about 'finding' anything has ever actually done so. I was keenly disappointed when Geraldo busted up a perfectly good wall for no reason too.
