Find the Führer - The Secret Soviet Investigation Episode 6: The Forgotten Theory

The fate of Hitler is one of the most infamous subjects in history - but the investigation of the nation that was best placed to find out, the USSR, is often ignored or dismissed in the West. This series examines what the Soviets found, both at the bunker and Reich Chancellery, and also the medical examination of the purported bodies of Hitler and Eva Braun. Kept secret until 1968, the Soviet files reveal many strange anomalies that challenge the established story of the ultimate fates of Hitler and his wife. In this episode, I reveal a long overlooked theory that may explain why the bodies recovered by the Soviets don’t match Hitler and Eva Braun.
