While most of the world believed Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler committed suicide in his Berlin bunker in April 1945, the FBI’s director, J. Edgar Hoover, wasn’t buying it.
So, according to the Daily Caller, Hoover called for a mission to track down Hitler in Argentina, according to recently declassified FBI documents.
Agents sent to Argentina were told: “He is suffering asthma and ulcers, and has shaved off his moustache.”
An informant warned that the dictator was inside a heavily guarded bunker.
Whatever the case, most historian agree that Hitler killed himself in Germany as Soviet troops surrounded him.
