Frankly, I never thought I would ever post in a thread discussing Hitler's possible survival. Nor do I believe he "is" alive, simply because he was
born in 1889.
Considering his psychological profile, I also find it highly unlikely that he would have escaped.
And so, I gave it little to no thought... until I happened to stumble upon a
photo that actually shocked me.
I would really like to hear experts' opinions on the possibility of this being digitally altered in any way.
If it is, then it's a remarkable job.
If it isn't... then it IS Hitler.
There can be no doubt about it.
Based on facial analysis, I don't think he would have been anywhere near 90 years old (as the caption claims), especially considering his poor
health.
But it's also highly unlikely for the man on the picture to be around 55 years old, which was Hitler's age at the end of WW II, no matter how sick
he was.
Having said that... anything is possible, I suppose.
I know that some "children soldiers" (teenagers) who met him in person in 1945 could barely recognise him. According to their reports, they thought
he was in his seventies. (The last time the German people had seen recent footage of the
Fuehrer was before the July 1944 assassination
attempt).
