The CIA published on its website a document stating that Nazi leader Adolf Hitler was alive in 1955, ten years after his officially documented death.
In October 1955, a CIA intelligence officer in Caracas told his supervisor that the agent CIMELODY-3 had known, a few days before, of Philip Citroen, a former officer of the German elite, that Hitler was still alive.
Citroen said in his interview with the client that allied countries could no longer prosecute Hitler for war crimes because of the passage of ten years after the end of World War II.
Kurt Mills, the author of an article in The National Interest magazine that dealt with the publication of these provocative articles by the CIA, says there is a photograph of a Hitler-like person who received CIMELODY-3 from the same source.
The picture attached to the document shows two people, one of whom appears to be Philip Citroen, and the other, whom Citroen said was Hitler. A text on the back of the picture indicates that his name is Adolf Stritelmayor, and that the photograph was taken in 1954 in the Colombian city of Tonga.
Indeed, this person is similar to the Nazi leader who committed suicide at his grave in Berlin on April 30, 1945, in order not to surrender to the Red Army.
It should be noted that many decades of “conspiracy theory” have been common for decades about the flight of the top Nazi leaders, including the worst of them, into South America.
But such theories of Hitler’s fate “reveal its impact” in Argentina, not in Colombia, much less believe that Hitler, if he could really hide, would have changed his name and the features of his face that were known to everyone during the war.
For decades, the Soviet and then Russian authorities had confirmed that they had some remnants of Hitler, although his body and the body of Eva Braun, his wife’s companion, were known to have been burned in a hurry after their suicide.
According to the author of the article, the Russians found themselves embarrassed when, in 2009, allowed an American expert to examine parts of what they said was the skull of Hitler, and told them that the skull belonged to a woman and not a man and that a person was between the ages of 20 to 40 years and not 56 as the age of Hitler at the moment of suicide.
But it is a conclusion refuted by Russian intelligence at all.
“The statements of the Soviet Union that the remains of Hitler were immediately recovered are full of contradictions,” the article quoted a source in the Pentagon as saying. “Both the Soviet Union and the United States had a very serious survival hypothesis because some senior officers in the Nazi army to different ways to save their lives, such as the use of aliases, to appear in Soviet families as ordinary soldiers, and left their uniforms on the bodies of people like them.
Since then, the US military official has acknowledged that the Russian version of Hitler’s fate (despite its contradictions) is much simpler and more credible than the surrender of his escape to South America and his stay there for years.
