Explanation: The forerunner to the CIA, the OSS, made various mock-ups in 1944 of what Hitler might look like if he tried to escape incognito before WW2 ended. Hitler, however, would end up shooting himself in a bunker and his body captured by the Soviets in 1945.
Many Nazis escaped through various means, however, with Argentina being a prominent destination due to the fascist-sympathizing dictator in charge of Argentina at the time. For this reason, far-fetched conspiracies about Hitler’s escape still make the rounds in fringe circles.
Here, the actor who played Gandalf in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, Ian McKellen, is shown in an old 1980s tv movie… playing HITLER HIMSELF. Coincidence? I think NOT!
He seems to end up dressed as a nazi in his films a lot…
