Hiding Hitler

Officially, Adolf Hitler ended his life in a bunker in Berlin on April 30, 1945. The truth: he escaped to Argentina, and the United States let him go. As WWII was ending, Nazi leaders offered a secret deal - if they were allowed to live in Argentina after the war, they could hand over their intelligence networks, billions of dollars worth of gold, art, and other looted treasure - and their greatest scientific achievements, from atomic bombs to aerospace technology that is still top secret today. The Nazis would continue to fight the common enemy - Soviet Communism - as America's secret Cold War allies. The alternative - America insists on unconditional surrender, Germany fights to the bitter end and bombs cities on the east coast of the United States, while the Soviet Union captures the majority of the technology that can decide the winner of the next world war. FDR wouldn't negotiate with Hitler - but Allen Dulles decided it was an offer America couldn't refuse. He made sure Harry Truman was president in time to allow the deal that would make the United States the greatest superpower for generations to come. And the world was told that Hitler, Bormann, and several other top Nazis were dead - when all the evidence showed the Gestapo faked their deaths so they could escape and not have anyone looking for them.
