"OP is this opening Post" ?RC
Read "OP-JB". A very interesting book.
Fiction? Doubt will always creep in. Personally, I was sold on it.
If so , no , it does not explain who would have moved Bormann's body or who might have helped him invent his fate , nor does it shed any light on any potential escape by Hitler.
Everything regarding his escape is speculation no one has come forward to say "Yes - I helped him get out , I saw him get on a plane , I saw him get off a plane etc - no one.
Now if Hitler had a double - the "double" would be bound to know - with him gone I now inherit his fate - it is a bit like saying Hess had a double in Spandau for 50 odd years.
Who in their right mind would do it .
Not possible , DNA testing was not around at that time , the dental records did however match as did the contours of the skull, and the remains were male , they matched Bormann , and were on the route which his group would have taken from the bunker.JB
When his body was found in the 1970s they did confirm that the body in question was him, due to a DNA test.
This is the nature of memory I would not rad anything into it.Moreover Rochus changed his "story" a few times, why? Old age? anyhow...
As for the noise of the engine which powered the bunkers systems , it was if memory serves me right prone to breaking down the shot may or may not have been heard but more than likely not , this in itself proves or disproves nothing.
If this is a refreence to Bormann , then yes - I agree Bormann did not die in the bunker he died attempting to escape Berlin , he did not get away to South America.Simon Wiesenthal refused the official report that he died in the bunker.
The ISS took up every opportunity they had to bring back leading figures to Israel - Eichmann was the big fish for them , there is no way that Bormann would have escaped , "sightings" would have been followed up and most likely were - they would have appeared to have led nowhere.
Eichmann on the other hand led to Eichmann.
This seems to say that you have an open mind on to Hitler's fate but this in itself is a contradiction given that you say you don't support the idea that he got away.Now by saying this I don't support the Idea that he got away, until someone has a more acceptable hypothesis supported by hard evidence then I with reconsider.
I find the Mystery Files very short on answers and long on questions it is not really hard on evidence .
