Grey Wolf: The Escape of Adolf Hitler

by Simon Dunstan, Gerrard Williams

Overview

DID HITLER--CODE NAME “GREY WOLF”--REALLY DIE IN 1945?
GRIPPING NEW EVIDENCE SHOWS WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED… When Truman asked Stalin in 1945 whether Hitler was dead, Stalin replied bluntly, “No.” As late as 1952, Eisenhower declared: “We have been unable to unearth one bit of tangible evidence of Hitlers death.” What really happened?
Simon Dunstan and Gerrard Williams have compiled extensive evidence--some recently declassified--that Hitler actually fled Berlin and took refuge in a remote Nazi enclave in Argentina. The recent discovery that the famous “Hitlers skull” in Moscow is female, as well as newly uncovered documents, provide powerful proof for their case. Dunstan and Williams cite people, places, and dates in over 500 detailed notes that identify the plans escape route, vehicles, aircraft, U-boats, and hideouts. Among the details: the CIAs possible involvement and Hitlers life in Patagonia--including his two daughters.
