Recently declassified documents from the archives of the CIA indirectly confirm that Nazi leader Adolf Hitler did not commit suicide in 1945, but fled to Latin America. Writes about this Sputnik Brasil.

One of the informers of American intelligence in 1955 reported that the former SS man Philip Citroen allegedly met after the end of the Second World War with Hitler, who was hiding in Colombia under the name Schrittelmeier. The agent's report states that Citroen, being an employee of the Royal Dutch Steamship Company, contacted the Fuehrer about once a month. This happened during business trips from Venezuela to Colombia.

As proof, a photo of Citroen with a man similar to Adolf Hitler, taken in 1954 in the city of Tunja (western Colombia), was attached to the documents. After some time, according to a CIA informant, Hitler moved to Argentina.

According to the official version, Adolf Hitler, together with his wife Eva Braun, committed suicide on April 30, 1945 in Berlin during the storming of the German capital by Soviet troops. Their bodies were burnt in the garden of the Reich Chancellery.

On October 27, by order of US President Donald Trump, secret service archives were declassified, including those related to the assassination of the 35th American President John F. Kennedy. The documents have been uploaded to a special section of the US National Archives website.
