Hitler lives and escapes Germany

If Hitler decided to not kill himself, and was able to escape outside of Germany, where would he go? Would he go to South America like Dr. Mangela did? How long until the Allies catch him?
 
Well, once people figure out that he's escaped (which they will), Hitler is going to have to go underground, and I mean really underground, to avoid the metric fuckton of intelligence officers that are going to come bearing down on him.

The NKVD/KGB and (butterflies permitting) Mossad in particular.
 
It's not likely to happen. By the end of the War, Hitlers' health was terrible, both physically and mentally. If he somhow managed to escape Berlin, he woudn't get far. Perhapse some Germans still loyal to him would protect him for awhile, but he won't last for long, not in occupied Germany. Eventually the Allies, American or British likely, would catch him and put him on trial.

In this scenario, he could get an extra year or two of life, and depending on if his health imporoves, he could do some real damage.
 
Reasons of health aside, I think the biggest obstacle to Adolf Hitler escaping the burning ruins of Berlin was Adolf Hitler. If he really wanted to he could've made it out of the capital.
 
That's easy. He escapes to the secret Antartic rocket launch pad and hides out in his secret Nazi Moon Base for seventy years, kept alive by the force. :D
 
Hitler had parkinson and would most likely have died somewhere around 1947-49, from what I've read and heard and seen (no, not first hand view;))

My grandmother had Parkinson's and didn't last more than 5 years after being diagnosed with it. Given Hitler's health and mental delusions (he still held out hope for a last-minute victory) he wouldn't last much longer. He was renacting Wagner's Goetterdaemmerung (Twilight of the Gods).

That may be so. But if Hitler disappeared and died on the lam there would be no end to the speculation that he is alive.

The death of Hitler ended German resistance. If he had just vanished, some of the die hards would probably continue to fight a guerrilla war.

Parkinsons isnt predictable, though.
My grandmother had it and lived to 95....

That is not really unlikely, I'm afraid, especially if before leaving he had left behind some defiant message instead of his pathetic testament. I've always been against any likelihood of a Werwolf movement... but if there is anything to make it less unlikely, it's probably this.
 
The WAllies had a small fear he might be flown out of Berlin to Norway, and thence across the North Pole to Japan. That's the least impossible scenario--short of the Alpine Redoubt, that is (not that either is a real 'escape'.)
 
He could escape quite easily. All he had to do was burn his clothing, shave his head, have one of his stormtroopers smash his face in. Break the nasal bone and force it to the left. Then break at least one cheek bone and force it up. Leave extracted teeth to fool the dentist, cauterize fingerprints. He'd be unrecognizable.
 
About Parkinson's: Hitler may have had parkinson's, but he was also being doctored by a quack. And that man was on so many drugs...but, I watched a special on History about escaped Nazis, and one of the photos of them looked like any old man. Hitler might have been able to live to 70 with good doctors.

The voice, he would still have the voice. The voice of someone who sounded like he smoked 1000 cigarettes a day. That harsh, rasping, hate-filled growl known to millions after years of ranting over the airwaves.

Actually, according to some special I saw on History Channel about it (this is before they went all "A&E" on us), he had a much softer and less growly voice in private, compared to his speechmaking voice. And it's not hard to affect a certain accent or voice type.

He did. Once I've listened to a tape recording made in secret, and it almost sounded like a different person.
