Hitler had been demanding every man, woman, child lay down their lives for his mad dreams, and the Japanese had been schooled to do just that.
I still think this has teeth.

This is generally how the Hitler escapes scenario is presented by conspiracy theorists. They claim that Bormann would have drugged Hitler and flown him out while a body double was killed in the bunker.

In Brazil too hard...Brazil allied with the U.S and other Allies in 1943 and the Getulio Vargas dictatorship wasn't (or was not able to) germanophile since the sinking of Brazilian ships by German U-Boats in 1942-1943.....there would not be any help from the Brazilian Government in hiding Hitler in a time where Brazil was starting to closely link its foreign policy with the U.S.

Brazil was never a fertile ground for Nazi war criminals like Argentina was....the few criminals found here went to Brazil much more for the total lack of vigilance of the Brazilian land borders with Argentina and Uruguay then a desire or a governmental help (like Peronist Argentina) to settle those criminals in the country.

I don't see this happening but if it did. There would be an incredible manhunt and I see Hitler being captured or more likely commiting suicide in Argentina before they came to get him. Hitler at Nuremberg is an interesting if very unlikely event.

What's really funny is that there was a guy in the mid-60s who swore up and down (my father knew him) that Hitler was alive, well, and living in Essex, MD albeit under an assumed name.

I don;t see what changes if Hitler lives on.

Would South Africa agree to take him, unofficially? And a miracle lets him live well beyond his 100 birthday. So when Nelson Mandela is set free from Robin island South Africa admitts that they have Hitler by sending him to Robin island

Brazil and South Africa would not offer asylum to an enemy head of state.
