Hello and welcome to another episode of the World War II podcast I'm Angus Wallace

we've all seen the film Downfall about the furra bunker in Berlin and the closing days of the war

and we all know the story of how Adolf Hitler with his new wife

Eva Brown committed suicide and the body was destroyed. Well how much of that story do we actually know?

Since the end of the war, a series of newspaper reports, books,

and more recently, TV series such as Hunting Hitler

have all put forward the idea that Hitler escaped at the end of the war and

that the official history, for want to be better phrase, is not the truth.

In this episode I'm joined by Luke Daly Groves.

Luke is a postgraduate researcher at Leeds University and the author of the new book

Hitler's Death in which he revisits the original post-war

investigations by the Allied powers and using all the data now available

assesses how accurate they were. In doing so he also explores and debunks these Hitler

conspiracy theories. Now this podcast is brought to you by listeners like

yourself who enjoy the show and help me find the time

to put it together by becoming patrons in committing to pay a dollar or two each month via Patreon,

or even pushing the boat out

and committing to a rocker, fellow level of support

such as listeners like Kiran Byrne

and Paul Rafter.
