Hitler Is Alive!: Guaranteed True Stories Reported by the National Police Gazette - Paperback

by Steven A. Westlake (Editor)

Actual articles from the notorious sensationalist journal that was a forerunner to the scandal sheets and tabloids of today: "Ridiculous alt-history fun" (Booklist).

As the Allied armies closed in on Berlin, the Nazi high command scrambled to escape their shattered city. On May 1, 1945, reports went out that Adolf Hitler and his mistress, Eva Braun, committed suicide in an underground bunker--but their bodies were never found. In this landmark exposé by the legendary National Police Gazette, the truth is finally told. As peace fell across Europe, two U-Boats made mad dashes for Argentina, remaining underwater for weeks at a time to evade detection. In their incredible journeys lies the shocking secret of how the greatest mass murderer in history escaped punishment for his crimes.

In the aftermath of World War II, the Police Gazette ruthlessly investigated any rumor of Hitler's survival in South America. Hitler Is Alive! is a true epic of twentieth-century sensationalism.
