GERMAN DICTATOR Adolf Hitler faked his own suicide and fled to Argentina with his new bride Eva Braun, according to the book 'Grey Wolf' which suggests that the long held belief that Hitler committed suicide is flawed. Author Gerrard Willams says that Hitler managed to escape from Berlin to a Nazi-controlled enclave in Fascist Argentina and focuses on the crucial days in 1945 as the allies closed in on Hitler's bunker.{{more}} "We met people who had actually met him in the fifties and we actually met people who had met Martin Borman in the 1950s and 60s -- Hitler was not the only one who got out," Williams told Cyprus Radio. In the book, Simon Dunstan and Gerrard Williams present their extensive evidence, including some recently declassified documents. The authors cite people, places and dates in over 500 detailed notes that identify the plan's escape route, vehicles, aircraft, U-boats and hideouts. Among the details: the CIA's possible involvement and Hitler's life in Patagonia, including his two daughters. Williams and Dunstan also state the pair had two daughters before Hitler died in 1962 at the age of 73. Most historians assert that Hitler committed suicide by gunshot on 30 April 1945 in his Führerbunker in Berlin. Just moments after, in accordance with Hitler's prior instructions, their remains were carried up the stairs through the bunker's emergency exit, doused in petrol, and set alight in the Reich Chancellery garden outside the bunker. Records in the Soviet archives show that their burnt remains were recovered and interred in successive locations until 1970, when they were again exhumed, cremated, and the ashes scattered. Some credence to the theory of Hitler's alleged survival may be drawn from the fact that there are no photos of the dead Eva Braun, and the few photos of the "dead Hitler" appear to be shots of a doppelgänger with a "Hitler moustache" Grey Wolf: The Escape of Adolf Hitler is published by Sterling LISTEN: GERRARD WILLIAMS EXPLAINS HOW HITLER ESCAPED:
