Hitler’s Secret Escape Plan Proven in Declassified Docs: Argentina & Project Paperclip

Hitler’s secret escape plan was rumored to take him to Argentina after the war. Now, declassified documents appear to prove it. Hear about Operation Paperclip and more on this Edge of Wonder Live with Ben and Rob.

Operation Paperclip was a real government operation in which over 1,500 German scientists, engineers, and even war criminals came over to the United States—and they were integrated into US government organizations and departments. Some Nazis spearheaded new developments in places such as NASA. Many military officials expressed their fears that former Nazis would gain access to top secret clearance intel within the government, but because it was all kept quiet, it couldn’t be addressed directly.

Something darker seemed to be brewing alongside all this, as well. Some former Nazi leaders were rumored to have fled to South America to escape capture by the allied forces, and they lived out the rest of their lives in a somewhat normal manner. There were indeed all kinds of German colonies established—and even declassified CIA and FBI documents—pointing to the fact that Hitler himself escaped and went to Argentina. There may be proof of him being there and marrying his mistress. Join Edge of Wonder as they dig deeper into the facts. Then, at the end of the show, don’t miss the live Q&A followed by a meditation/prayer. See you out on the edge!

Q&A: Was Mao worse than Hitler? Did Charlie Chaplin have a mustache before he mocked Hitler’s? Did the powers that be today rise from the remains of the escaped Nazis and Operation Paperclip? How many Nazi Paperclip operatives went on to work for the CIA? Did Nazi Paperclip operatives become the Men in Black? Why are so many originally good symbols now seen as evil, like the swastika (srivatsa) appropriated by the Nazis or sowulo rune used in the SS design?
