Most likely the records were not actually destroyed, that's how.

In any case, the idea that all the witnesses would have carried the lie of Hitler's death to their graves is completely absurd.

No, I don't believe it for a second. A lie that big would be impossible to keep if there were 3 people who knew the truth, never mind the 20+ who probably knew.

BTW, that "hysterical faith" was long gone by 1945.

And on what facts do you say that faith in hitler was gone by 45, when even people living in dachau pretended to not know what was happening there? but why do we bother anyway, he is dead either way, no way round that.

The fact that even Himmler was trying to negotiate with the Allies. The idea that so many people would lie about Hitler's death is utterly absurd.

Luther wanted to "be rid of them" and requested that the government and ministers deal with the problem. He requested pastors and preachers to follow his example of issuing warnings against the Jews. He goes so far as to claim that "We are at fault in not slaying them" for avenging the death of Jesus Christ. Hitler's Nazi government in the 1930s and 40s fit Luther's desires to a tee. In Mein Kampf, Hitler listed Martin Luther as one of the greatest reformers.
I noticed that you avoided the fact that Hitler was in the process of creating his own religion.

I understand why, it does not 'fit' into your line of reasoning!

So ignore it and try and change the topic ASAP.. As you did by going on about Martin Luther.. As if I and others were under some false impression that Hitler was the 'first' to blame Jews for their short coming

I'm sure some might fall for it

But thankfully not all

yeah, "good ol´" himmler wanted to team up with the british/americans to fight of the russians, no need for a führer there, so it´s easy to say he´s dead, ain´t it.

You asked what fact supported my claim about the lack of faith, and I told you. The rats were leaving the ship, and Himmler was one of the biggest rats.

erm, and what are you basing your assumption on?

I still don't see why it's absurd, so many people died bringing their secrets (or others') to their grave: think about all the people that work for the secret services or that were involved in illegal actions.. I really do not comprehend why it's not plausible.

Because I've seen the records on 1 of the dozen or so "this is how Hitler died" history shows.

It's not plausible because this would have been the biggest secret in modern history. It might be possible for 1 or 2 people to keep that secret, but it's not possible for everyone who would have known. The idea that Hitler could get 20+ minions to lie for him even as his closest supporters (Himmler and Goering) are stabbing him in the back is too absurd to even consider. It's one of the most idiotic things I have ever heard.

Oh the conspiracy theorists! I love them, they are like those small, angry dogs that bark all the time in high pitch

At least Otto Günsche remained a convinced Nazi until his death. Don't you think he would have loved to spice the whole story a bit up, in order to mystify his Führer? Count Mohnke in, and possibly Heinz Linge.
The absurd thing is: It's not absurd in Absurdistan!
