WI: Hitler’s fate is unknown?

My late father worked at Bethlehem Steel's shipyard office near Baltimore, and one of his co-workers was absolutely adamant (this was in the early 1960s)that Hitler was alive, well, and living openly in Essex, MD (a Baltimore suburb). That may set the bar on zany theories...
 
Capturing him would have been regarded as the Nazi hunter crown jewel for the first two to three decades after the war.

Mt Great Grandmother believed to her dying day (late 1960's) that Hitler escaped and was somewhere in South America. Supposedly this was not an uncommon belief.

Oh, definitely. I believe there was even a movie, "The Boys from Brazil", based on that premise.
No the Boys from Brazil had Mengele escape to South America with Hitlers blood with which he use to clone baby boys which are then adopted to couples all over the world that were similar to Adolf parents to recreate his home environment. The fathers all older low level civil servants had to die when the boys were 13 years old one of the fathers was a for SS who had changed identity and hid in Sweden. It was his death and reveal of his past which lead to Nazi hunters checking if he had contacts to his former colleagues with the plot unraveling.

There have been many stories of Hitler being frozen to be resurrected in the future .
 
Speaking of Boys From Brazil, I remember that either in Argentina or Brazil there is a reported case where after a doctor visited a town since then tons of the children that were born AFTER the doctor left were twins.
 
speaking of brazil, there is one woman who claimed that hitler was his boyfriend and that he lived a happy life with his brazilian gf until he died in the early mid 70s or 80s

Gregory Peck did quite the scenery-chewing job in that movie. Long way from Atticus Finch.
 
There would likely also not be a political testament and no Dönitz government.

So nobody who could sign the surrender.

If then someone remaining nazi leader doesn't manage to take power and be strong enough that can assume Wehrmact for surrending (should be pretty easy) and then signs surrending treaty.

Someone will come out on top, and if no-one does, it'a likely there will be no coordinated defense (due to there being a civil war, or at least not a unified command) and Germany will be overrun in a few months.
