Nazi boss Hitler revealed after 70 years in hiding?

A 128-year-old man living in Salta, Argentina, has just announced that he is the Nazi leader Adolf Hitler. He decided to come out after 70 years of hiding.

According to Sputnik, the old man's statement coincided with the time when a treasure belonging to Nazi leader Hitler was found in Argentina.

In an interview with local media, the German immigrant explained that he arrived in Argentina in 1945 using a fake passport made by the Gestapo at the end of World War II. The passport listed his name as Herman Guntherberg.

The old man who claims to be Hitler said that the decision to abandon his hiding place stemmed from the fact that the Israeli secret service Mossad officially abandoned its policy of hunting down Nazi war criminals in 2016.

The self-proclaimed Hitler also expressed his intention to publish an autobiography in September to "restore his image" to the public.

"I was made to bear many crimes that I never committed. Because of that, I spent half my life hiding from the Jews, and I was also punished. I was portrayed as a bad person because we lost that war. When people stand on my side of that story, they will change the way they think about me," he said.

Few people believed the old man's story. However, many sources previously believed that the Nazi leader had fled to Latin America like many other members of the Nazi party when the war ended, despite the global mainstream historians saying that Hitler committed suicide on April 30, 1945 in the Fuhrerbunker, Berlin.

In July 2016, Abel Basti published a revised version of his book "Hitler in Exile". The author said that Hitler fled to Argentina, lived there for 10 years, and then moved to Paraguay under the protection of dictator Alfredo Stroessner. According to Basti, Hitler died on February 3, 1971 in Paraguay.

A few days after the announcement, Argentine police found a trove of Nazi artifacts in a house in Beccar, Buenos Aires. This is probably the largest trove of Hitler's wealth found in the country's history.

Some of the items also came with photographs, including a photo of Hitler with a magnifying glass that has never been shown to the public, said Argentine Security Minister Patricia Bullrich.
