The Escape of Adolf Hitler

Narrated by: Don Hagen

Length: 11 hrs and 18 mins

Publisher's summary

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 Hitler's 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 "Hitler's 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 plan's escape route, vehicles, aircraft, U-boats, and hideouts. Among the details: the CIA's possible involvement and Hitler's life in Patagonia - including his two daughters.

I believe that murderer was enjoying life in Argentina

I highly recommend this audiobook and the documentary…both very interesting…it’s also said that Argentina government and the Perons were nazi sympathizers

Gets you thinking and makes you wonder!

Regardless of the question of whether Hitler escaped to Argentina, there is no question that this book immerses The Listener in the period of Nazi Germany at the end of World War II and adds color and context to the legacy of this part of History. A worthy listen!

Monotonous narration

Is there anything you would change about this book?

Correct pronunciation

Any additional comments?

Very monotonous narration. The horrible pronunciation of the word chancellery drove me crazy time and again. He pronounces it as Chance+Cellery!!! In addition, I skipped chapter after chapter, as you keep being read lines that sound like wartime canned propaganda over, and over, and over again, and the narrator keeps reminding you that the Nazis were evil, had "sinister" motivations, and so on, and you keep getting the feeling he perhaps feels afraid to be branded an extremist for simply narrating it. Tiring, really.
Finally I reached Part III, which was at best mildly interesting.
To sum it all up, I wasted a credit.

Mr. Lupus would approve. CIA photo was real

Hitler went North after Argentina.

CIA has a photo of him in Colombia....

I'm convinced!

What made the experience of listening to Grey Wolf the most enjoyable?

Great narration.

What did you like best about this story?

This was not stuff I knew.

What about Don Hagen’s performance did you like?

He's just easy to listen to.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

No idea.

Any additional comments?

Harry Truman is not from Arkansas.

Reader has annoying ticks

a fascinating story but the narrators annoying ticks, such as how he pronounces "Borman", are distracting

Intriguing and Utterly Engrossing!

I found this audio intriguing and utterly engrossing. It is not hard to believe that Hitler escaped to Argentina, and the historical back up shows how this may well have happened. It is a well-presented case in a book that is seriously researched and very well written.

Too Long, but Worth Listening to Half

I've heard rumors for years that Adolf Hitler escaped to South America at the end of WWII. If it was true, Grey Wolf notwithstanding, then the rest of the world must have ignored it; the same thing that I should have done with part one of the book. The author gives much more detail than is necessary for most people regarding the alleged escape of Hitler from Europe during the waning days of the War. Anyone interested in this story, unless you're a Nazi or a historian, I would strongly urge that you skip part one and go directly to part two.
You will not miss anything important, since the story of Hitler's escape really does not start until part two. Part one basically talks about the fortunes of war turning for the Third Reich and how a few of Hitler's close aids started thinking about an escape. The irony here is that Hitler was maniacal about every soldier fighting until the bitter end, while he was looking for ways to escape the carnage he created as early as 1943.

For a subject that is at best, esoteric and at worst, a fabrication, the authors Simon Dunstan and Gerrard Williams does give it plausibility. That said, it is worth listening to, but cue the story at the second half mark.

Excellent counterfactual historical tale

What made the experience of listening to Grey Wolf the most enjoyable?

I was absolutely fascinated by the counterfactual telling in this story. The key details are well researched and many are provable, the theories linking these are plausible, and the tale itself is spellbinding.

The author, who is a respected journo that I am aware of, clearly believes that Hitler did survive and the allies allowed it to occur.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Grey Wolf?

The life after arrival in Argentina fits with much of what I personally experienced and heard when living in that part of the world. Secrets and whispers and closed German communities and many other tales.

Interesting

it's an interesting theory as to what may have happened to Hitler at the end of the war. There's points where the story feels like it's padded with a bit of filler, but I thought it was worth the listen.
