Grey Wolf: Hitler's Escape to Argentina

I hated this film. Why? Well, let's dive into it, shall we??

First, 95% of this film consists of reenactment by people who down't look like the real people at all. It all looks and feels like a bad C-grade movie with voice overs telling presumed testimonies or (even more vague) "stories" by people who are very sure they saw Hitler in Argentina after WWII.

So, Hitler is there and Eva Braun (sorry, Eva Hitler) is there too. While Hitler plans to build up a Fourth Reich, Eva records everything like she did on the Obersalzberg (remember those color images?).

The whole time I wonder: "Yeah, okay, but why should I believe all that? Where is the evidence? Where is a source, even a face of one of those witnesses?" And then, at one point, one of those witnesses, a maiden who says she served food to Hitler, tells us "Hitler ate sausage and ham like all the other people".

Really? He did? That's strange, isn't it. Because Hitler was a proclaimed VEGETARIAN. So, maybe they just got this wrong? Maybe she didn't remember correctly? (The filmmakers did neither, since they show us how Hitler eats a chicken or something.)

The further this "documentary" (if you want to call it that) goes, the more fictitious stories pile up. Nothing is backed up by some evidence, nothing feels any more real as the wet fever dream of some Neonazi who really does not want to believe, "the Führer" committed suicide.

Is it that what this film is all about? To cash in on the fascination on Adolf Hitler? give Hitler fans some hope, their idol might have survived? show some new images from a happy, yet determined Führer accompanied by Eva Braun (sorry, Eva Hitler), their dog and their daughter (because of course they have one)?

I can't tell you, only the filmmakers could.

All I can tell you is, I felt irritated, offended, disgusted - and probably most problematic of all - highly bored by this nonsense. Do not watch.

This is a vile little pseudo-documentary. The kind of movie that makes a mockery of 'serious history'. Anyone with a general understanding of the fall of the Third Reich would notice issues with this as soon as it begins. In terms of the voice overs and the acting, the 1.5m that the courts seem to have trouble clawing back for the defunct investment fund have been woefully spent. Don't waste your time. Watch DOWNFALL or read Hugh Trevor Roper on the subject.

Terrible film that tries to deceive its audience of an absolute historical falsity. Almost attempts to humanise Hitler, one of the world monsters ever spewed out of the world, there's a scene about 2 minutes and 10 seconds long which is just of Hitler crying - why do we have this scene? What is it meant to show. Implied regret at his actions are also included in this hellfest.

The actual evidence is non existent and all ridiculous hearsay, in fact it sometimes works against this fringe theory such as it being stated that Hitler signed multiple books and everyone from the neighbourhood knew him, oh did they? Where are these books and where are these people? That's right, they don't exist or are vile liars doing it for attention to add insult to injury to the millions of people genocided.

1/10: Disgusting media.

This is effectively a "daytime TV movie" based on pure speculation and not a shred of remotely convincing factual evidence, despite the blurb on the cover stating "based on interviews with eyewitness and years of dedicated research".

If the evidence for this scenario was so compelling, why didn't they make a documentary?

"Iron Sky" (Nazis on the moon)is only slightly less fanciful.

I'm disappointed Dan Snow has allowed his name to be printed on the front cover of this guff.

Avoid this at all costs.

This is for sure a very interesting, documentary, styled reenactment. For any one who enjoyed the rather excellent 'Hunting Hitler' series TV series (me included) will obviously find this of great interest. I wonder though about a lot of the information they deem as fact and the dramatization is padded out, on what we are told as "factual testimony". We do know for sure that 30,000 high ranking Nazis escaped to South America and most lived out very peaceful lives, as well as the ones who ran very successful companies in a Post War Germany.
