What's special about this 50-year-old documentary writer from Argentina is not that he puts forward such theories. Perhaps Abel Basti was the first to support the theory of Hitler’s disappearance with real documents and photos from the archives of the special services. In 2004, the writer published his first book, which brought him international success, “The Nazis in Bariloche.” However, it was impossible to predict what kind of “bomb” he would explode in the second part of his story - the bestseller “Hitler in Argentina.” Having conducted research, interviewed dozens of witnesses, and published documents declassified by the FBI, Basti wants to prove that Hitler could have hidden in South America and lived there to old age. Let the readers of AiF judge how well he succeeded. The writer kindly agreed to give an interview to the largest Russian weekly magazine.

The Fuhrer's jaw was not examined for DNA

- SENOR Basti, in your book you claim that on April 30, 1945, Hitler managed to escape from Berlin by plane. How could he do this if by that time the airfields were destroyed and the Allies controlled the skies?

My book contains previously classified evidence from the FBI archives that on April 30 at 16:30 (that is, an hour after the alleged suicide), Hitler was seen next to his personal Ju-52 plane. At night, throughout the last week of April, air transport of the Fuhrer's trusted representatives landed on Unter den Linden Avenue, where street lighting poles were preserved. For example, Reich Minister Speer left the “Führerbunker” on the 20th, and three days later he calmly returned back on the Fieseler-Storch plane. As you can see, the Allied air defense did not stop him. On April 25, a secret meeting was held in the “Führerbunker” to evacuate Hitler, in which the female pilot Hanna Reitsch, the famous pilot Hans Ulrich Rudel and Hitler’s personal pilot Hans Baur took part. The secret plan for the safe movement of the Fuhrer from the besieged capital of the Third Reich was codenamed “Operation Seraglio”.

- And who exactly, in your opinion, carried out the evacuation of Hitler?

Two days later, five Storch planes arrived in Berlin (each with seats for ten passengers), and on April 28, the same Ju-52, piloted by pilot Bosser, arrived - this was officially confirmed by Allied intelligence. A day later, on the orders of General Adolf Galland, the last forces of the German Air Force were unexpectedly lifted into the air over the capital of the Reich - a hundred Me-262 jet fighters. They covered Hannah Reitsch’s plane: she managed to break through the fire of Soviet anti-aircraft guns and fly away from Berlin - it was an experimental flight, and the fact that it was carried out is not disputed by any historian. The next day, according to the scenario already tested by Frau Reitsch, Adolf Hitler also left Berlin - he was heading to Spain, from where at the end of the summer he sailed on a submarine to Argentina. He was accompanied by Eva Braun, Müller and Bormann.

- Okay, but what about the fragments of Hitler’s jaw, which are stored in Moscow in the archives of the FSB? Research by both Soviet and independent experts unanimously confirmed that it belonged to the Fuhrer. What happens then - Hitler had part of his jaw torn off, but he still escaped?

Experts only had the opportunity to compare this charred jaw with x-rays of that era, which were of terrible quality, and with the testimony of Hitler’s personal dentist - and he could say anything. If you know, no DNA testing has ever been carried out: Russia systematically refuses to allow such analysis. Meanwhile, this is the only way to find out the truth: it is necessary to compare DNA samples that can be obtained from the remains of Adolf Hitler’s sister, Paula, who died in 1960 and was buried in the Bergfriedhof cemetery. I formally appeal to the Russian authorities to allow me to examine this jaw to obtain final proof that I am telling the truth.

- You know, people love conspiracy theories. For so many years there has been talk about the mysterious disappearance of “Nazi number two” - Martin Bormann, who evaporated from Berlin on May 1, 1945. A lot of people swore that they saw him in South America with their own eyes and could not be mistaken. But in 1972, a skeleton was found while digging a pit in Berlin, and a double DNA study showed that these were Bormann’s bones...

The funny thing is: both are right here. Martin Bormann really escaped, lived in Argentina and Paraguay: I found a lot of evidence of this, including documentary ones - especially a photo of Bormann taken in the fifties. Therefore, it is quite possible that when Bormann died of natural causes, his remains were secretly transported to Berlin, after which a performance was staged with their “find”.

Best of the day

“Submarines found off the coast of Argentina”

- AGAIN: in your book you write that Hitler and Eva Braun, along with an extensive retinue and security, arrived in Argentina on three submarines, which were then sunk in the bay for purposes of conspiracy. Indeed, in the place you indicated, at a depth of approximately 30 meters under water, using special equipment, teams of divers discovered large objects covered with sand. But where is the evidence that these are Nazi submarines?

I relied on the testimony of witnesses who, after the war, observed the arrival of three submarines with swastikas in the tiny bay of Caleta de los Loros, located in the Argentine province of Rio Negro. You say: Argentina has formally been at war with Germany since March 27, 1945 - maybe these are traces of past naval battles? However, in the archives of the Argentine Ministry of Defense there is not a single word about the sinking of any German submarines. Then where did these sunken ships lying on the ground come from? I submitted a request that the submarines be brought to the surface and thoroughly examined. German submarines sailed to Argentina several times after the war - for example, the submarine U-977 arrived in the country on August 17, 1945: it is assumed that its commander Heinz Schaeffer was transporting gold and other valuables of the Third Reich.

- You published a US FBI document that casts serious doubt on the official version of the death of Adolf Hitler. This paper, dated November 13, 1945, contains a report from an American agent in Argentina, who works as a gardener for wealthy German colonists - the Eichhorns. The agent reports that the couple, who live in the village of La Falda, have been preparing the estate since June for the arrival of Hitler, which will take place in the very near future. Is this document real?

This is a very strange question because I legally obtained this document after it was declassified from the FBI archives: file number 65-53615. And this is far from the only documentary evidence of Hitler’s escape. There are several more secret reports from the FBI, CIA and MI5 about the living Fuhrer - but, unfortunately, the USA, Britain and Russia have not yet fully declassified all materials relating to this topic. For example, there are three shorthand recordings of a conversation between Joseph Stalin (one of them with US Secretary of State Byrnes) - there the leader of the USSR openly says that the Fuhrer managed to escape. Over fifteen years, I conducted hundreds of interviews with direct witnesses to Hitler's presence in Argentina. Most of them have only started talking now - many Nazis in Argentina have died, they have nothing to fear anymore, although not everyone is still making contact. A letter from Nazi General Seydlitz, dated 1956, has also been preserved - he reports that he is going to attend a meeting in Argentina between Hitler and the Croatian “Führer” Pavelic.

- You often refer to the testimony of witnesses. But how, in this case, should we treat the words of other witnesses who saw Hitler dead and buried his corpse?

There is not a single person who saw with his own eyes how Hitler saw through an ampoule of poison and shot himself in the head. The story of the Fuhrer's suicide from beginning to end was invented by people from his inner circle - it was a special plan to confuse everyone. But even at first glance, there are several contradictions in the eyewitness accounts of Hitler's death if you study the archival documents. At first it was said that he was poisoned. Then - no, he shot me in the temple. After - excuse me, first he poisoned himself, and then he shot himself. Potassium cyanide causes instant death and convulsions: how did the person then pull the trigger of the gun?

I had to read a lot of similar publications on the topic of Hitler’s flight. But no one has officially confirmed reliable facts about his flight or suicide. Maybe he really fled, or maybe he committed suicide. I served in 1967-69 in Karl Marx Stadt, Among the Germans With whom I had to talk about this topic, there is also no consensus.

Big doubts about leaving And Hitler's native Germany
Tim Don 21.03.2016 05:57:37

There are great doubts about A. Hitler leaving his native Germany. This was not taken into account - how could such a person, completely devoted to the cause and life of the German People, live with such a stone far from his homeland.
Preparing for a New War, they would know about such preparation.

Lenin, Stalin and Hitler are great names that all history buffs know. These people became famous for their political actions and evoked different emotions in society.

Some respected their politics, others hated them as individuals. Nevertheless, these historical figures left an indelible mark on the history of all mankind.

Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov (Lenin)

The Soviet politician and statesman was born on April 22, 1870 (on the 10th according to the old style). The birthplace of the great figure is Simbirsk. Vladimir Lenin is considered the founder of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR). Most historical researchers, even those who never recognize communism, speak of Lenin as the most significant revolutionary.

As experts who study this person’s psychotype note, the negative aspect in his character was the dominance of authoritarianism and the lack of ability to perceive other people’s opinions. Lenin knew how to change his tactics between various aspects that determine political gain.

Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin (Dzhugashvili)

According to the official version, the politician’s birthday falls on December 21, 1879 (the 9th according to the old style). Joseph was born in the Tiflis province. Today, all historians evaluate Stalin as the main revolutionary of Russia. In 1945, Joseph rose to the rank of Generalissimo of the Soviet Union. Until 1953, the politician was a leader in the Soviet state.

The main policy of Joseph Vissarionovich was the active collectivization of agriculture. The time of his reign coincided with the Great Patriotic War. After its completion, Stalin decided to set a course for transforming Russia into a superpower. Since the statesman pursued a policy of personal dictatorship, authoritarianism was visible to the naked eye. Stalin was both loved and hated because his policies were very tough, repressive, with prevailing anti-Semitism. According to psychologists, Stalin had the following character traits: narcissism, sociopathy, sadistic tendencies and paranoia. His policies led to Russia turning from an agricultural to an industrial country. The political world did not accept his methods and considered them too insidious.

Adolf Gitler

Born on April 20, 1889 in the village of Ranshofen. In those historical times he was a central figure in National Socialism. At his instigation, a totalitarian regime was introduced in Germany and the Third Reich appeared. In World War II, Hitler was the Supreme Commander of the German Armed Forces. He participated in both the First and Second Wars.

Hitler never listened to the opinions of others and pursued a policy of authoritarianism. His regime was bloody and caused many deaths only because the politician was a convinced racist.

Common features of historical figures

At the moment, we can say that these people, who distinguished themselves throughout the world and became famous thanks to the implementation of their policies, have only one thing in common - they all did not listen to the opinions of others, and believed that only their actions were correct, not subject to any discussion . Their policies would be unacceptable today. Current modern government leaders do not see the positive things accomplished by Lenin, Stalin and Hitler.

celebration of alternative consciousness

The day of April 21 did not mark anything special and did not stain itself
in history. But he stands in the gap between two other, memorable
dates that were solemnly celebrated by the most powerful and fierce
regimes of the 20th century. April 20 - Hitler's birthday, April 22
- Lenin. Accordingly, April 21 marks a fine line between
two totalitarian abysses along which humanity, as if
narrow bridge, moved into the 21st century.

April 20 – Hitler's Birthday

April 21 – Intellectuals Day

(celebration of alternative consciousness)

April 22 – Lenin’s birthday

It is proposed to celebrate April 21 as an alternative to totalitarian
holidays of the twentieth century, which are still celebrated by admirers of Hitler
and Lenin, heirs of their ideas. In post-Soviet times, extremism
increasingly unites the left and right flanks, brings together the neo-Bolsheviks
and Nazis, Reds and Browns, Leninists and Hitlerites. That's why
it is so important to place the breaking point exactly at the point where they meet. From here
and the symbolic meaning of this date. April 21 is the day of alternative
consciousness, a holiday of challenge to all forms of totalitarianism, all systems
autocracy and like-mindedness, unanimity and like-mindedness.

Lenin and Hitler are political and, in a sense, popular leaders,
but deeply anti-intellectual. Therefore, April 21 is a holiday
consciousness that frees itself from its ideological chimeras
and populist temptations. One of the themes of this holiday is struggle
with anti-intellectual sentiments rooted in authoritarian
and totalitarian traditions of Russian history.

Among the many holidays - patriotic, religious, revolutionary,
women's, men's, miners', marine, sports, etc. - No
not a single one that is actually intellectual (unless one considers it
Teacher's Day). April 21st could become such a holiday.
I can’t imagine people’s processions and festivities on this day,
but representing public debate, intellectual (not political)
dialogue between representatives of different professions and disciplines, schools
and directions - in literature, art, philosophy, humanitarian
and natural sciences. Yes, and in politics, but not about politics.
(It would be interesting to listen, for example, to the dispute between Gryzlov and Zyuganov
about Tsvetaeva’s poems or Nabokov’s prose, or a debate between doctors of philosophy
sciences of Zhirinovsky and Rogozin about Hegel and Husserl - this could
bring a carnival flow during the holiday). On this day intellectuals
would come out of their professional cells - not into the streets and squares,
but towards each other, into the space of interdisciplinary communication.
Competitions would be held - not only for erudites who ran diagonally
all encyclopedias, but also literary tournaments, competitions of thinkers.
It would be possible to revive the tradition of public academic debates
and open competitions, such as those held in the 18th and 19th centuries.
European academies of sciences (victories were won by Jean Jacques
Rousseau and Arthur Schopenhauer).

April 21 is the day of alternatives, no matter what intellectual or
professional field they were not manifested: alternative pedagogy,
aesthetics, poetry, philosophy. This is the day of dissent, dissent,
otherness, otherness, all types of otherness, since they
form a crack in the monoliths of like-mindedness, like-mindedness and unity of action.
The very concept of “intelligence” is etymologically connected with “inter”, “between”,
and literally means “read between, choose between.” These "between"
gaps between public spheres and professions, and are filled
alternative thinking, an “inter-mind” approach. Unlike
April 1, April Fools' Day, April 21 is a holiday for thinking people,
a day of creative initiatives and smart fun.

The spirit of alternativeness, multivariate creative consciousness could
embodied in so-called collective improvisations. IN
several people gather at home or in a club setting,
representatives of various intellectual and creative
professions, and each offers a topic of improvisation - or a topic
are asked by the public. From several topics by lot or by vote
one is selected. Then an hour is given - during this time
essays, poems, small treatises, musical
compositions, acting performances are prepared - in
In general, any genre can be used. Usually so stressful
condition – time pressure and unpredictability of the topic –
leads to unexpected creative breakthroughs that might not otherwise
take place in the conditions of measured office work.
What is also important here is the intersection of the coordinates of communication and creativity,
process of co-thinking, dialogical interaction of different
consciousnesses. Everything created during this hour is read out, played out,
shown and discussed. If improvisation takes place on
public, winners may be identified and awards given, but
This is a secondary and optional point. Bottom line
collective improvisation is precisely a collection of all different genres
embodiments of this theme, a kind of “final work”,
synthesis of arts, sciences, different ways of writing and
self-expression. Another result is an impetus for further, more
purposeful work, prompted by insights from improvisational
hours. Such collective improvisations were carried out by the Club
essayists in Moscow in the 1980s, and invariably the situation was open
topics and brainstorming generated a surge of inspiration and
unexpected results, which could then be developed
independently by each participant in accordance with his
professional interests. In general, April 21 is favorable for everyone
spontaneous types of creativity, which again makes this
holiday is an alternative to totalitarianism with its cult of the plan and
disciplines.

We are talking about the revival, or more precisely, the birth of traditions in Russia
intellectual social life, not confined to academic
workshops. About the use of the intellect by the public
prestige, so that not only rock and
movie stars. By the way, America needs this no less than Russia, and
few places in the modern world have intellectuals of their own
holiday. The holiday of April 21 could attract the attention of the Russian
society to the fate of the intellect, pressed from all sides and
feudal mentality of strength-honor-service, and
capitalist mentality of profit-use-success.

For all the shortcomings of the Russian public, it cannot be denied
love for the holidays, sometimes excessive. But there are areas
completely unaffected by the holidays. In particular, the Internet is fast
a growing community, which, like any public
organism, must have its own rhythms: its own excesses and austerities,
feasts and fasts, times of shouting and silence, etc. The most
sustainable and super-temporary of all communities - the church: which
rich orchestration of holidays, fasts, sacraments, how complex
Organized rhythmic calendar! Yes and any is correct
organized society, from the state to the family, from the trade union
cells to a couple in love - has its own rhythm, calendar,
ecstasies, labors and pauses... Your everyday life, holidays and fasts -
black, red And white dates.

Intellectual tournaments and collective improvisations on the Day
intellectuals can become red dates in the network calendar, like
great battles and peace treaties in the civil calendar.
And the birthdays of the leader and the Fuhrer will be white dates -
verbal fasting, abstinence, commemoration of their victims... So far, all
Internet calendar - black, everyday, work,
ant... We propose to add colored clearings to it,
draw in red and white on this black board. Internet life
communities need a structure of events that give meaning and
articulation of its monotonous buzzing.

– Day of Intellectuals, Day of Alternative Consciousness and Creative Imagination

– Day of challenge to any totalitarian consciousness – fascist,
communist, national socialist,
religious fundamentalist

– Day of dissent, no matter in what area it manifests itself:
political, economic, ideological, philosophical,
artistic...

This is the festive opportunity of this alternative day.

April 21st has been celebrated unofficially since 1998. On this day on the Internet
The Encyclopedia of Alternative Ideas was opened, and in
Universe - the first alternative planetary system (in the constellation
Centaur). On the same day in Moscow is held annually
festival of new music "Alternative".

Since every holiday in our country is traditionally accompanied by calls
and toasts, here is the slogan:

Long live the alternatives! Be different! Be
sometimes brilliant. A little. By chance.

This means, in particular: try not to be geniuses of all times and
nations, like those born around the Day of Alternatives.

The choice of religion by a people is always determined by its rulers. The true religion is always the one professed by the sovereign; the true god is the god whom the sovereign commands to be worshiped; Thus, the will of the clergy, which guides the sovereigns, always turns out to be the will of God himself.

Adolf Hitler is probably one of the most significant people in the history of the 20th century. He was born on April 20, 1889 in Austria, in the city of Braunau am Inn, at Salzburger Vorstadt 15. His father, Alois, was a shoemaker, then became a customs officer. Alois was married three times. With his last wife, Clara, he had 6 children (according to other sources there were 5 children), of whom Adolf and his younger sister Paula lived for quite a long time. Hitler's birthday was on April 21. Clara's grandfather was Alois's father. At the age of 16, Adolf graduated from school in Linz. His nationalist views were largely influenced by Professor Petsch. After his father's death, he tried to enter the Vienna Academy, but failed. The boy had a good sense of humor and was interested in music and painting. After the death of his mother, he went to live in Vienna. Life there was very bad. Lived in homeless shelters. He earned his living by physical labor and ate poorly. On the eve of the war he moved to Munich. Here he continued to live as before. In the first years of the war, he became a volunteer in the German army, where he showed himself very well, for which he was awarded the Iron Crosses of the 1st and 2nd degrees. Was wounded twice.

Adolf Hitler took defeat in the war very close to his heart. Adolf was then accepted into the German Workers' Party, where he quickly became its leader, and renamed the party the "German National Socialist German Workers' Party" (NSDAP). The party began to grow. The decision was made to overthrow the government of the Weimar Republic. On November 9, Hitler and other party leaders led the Nazis as they marched toward the city center. The road was blocked by police and a shootout began. As a result, Operation Beer Hall Putsch failed.

Hitler was convicted of treason. From the dock, Hitler accused the republic's authorities of treason and swore that he would punish his accusers. He left prison in less than 1 year, although he was sentenced to five years. In 1924 Hitler headed to Obersalzberg, where he lived for several years, and in 1928 rented a villa, which he later acquired and named “Berghof”. He disbanded the party and began to attract the electorate. Adolf Hitler called for revenge for the Treaty of Versailles, to kill all Jews and communists, and to revive a great country. He received support from major industrialists. The Land Union also provided him with enormous help. Hitler made a conspiracy with F. von Papen, as a result of which he became chancellor.

In 1934, Hitler faced opposition from E. Rehm, who demanded more advanced social services. reforms, called for a new revolution. Hitler, who needed the support of the army, opposed his former comrades. Röhm was accused of preparing the assassination of Hitler, and in the massacre (the so-called “night of the long knives”) he was killed, as were several hundred SA leaders. Having received powers from the Reichstag, Hitler began preparing for war. In August 1939, Germany and the Soviet Union signed a non-aggression pact, which gave Hitler the opportunity to unite all forces to conquer Europe.

On September 1, 1939, Germany attacked Poland - this was the beginning of World War II. Hitler took command of the armed forces. He drew up his plan for the conquest of Europe. Hitler's Birthday April 21 After conquering Denmark, Holland, Norway, Belgium and France, Hitler decided to invade Great Britain. His plans also included the conquest of the USSR. July 20, 1944 was the last attempt to kill Hitler. It was near Rustenburg. A time bomb was detonated there, but somehow miraculously the Fuhrer survived. British, American and Soviet troops surrounded Berlin. At this time, Hitler was hiding in a bunker, underground. On April 30, 1945, having written a will in which he asked the future leaders of the country to fight “the poisoners of all nations - international Jewry” - he shot himself.

Nature told the woman: be beautiful if you can, wise if you want, but you must certainly be prudent.
