Overview

  • Journalists Juan Salinas and Carlos Di Napoli unveiled Argentine naval records detailing Operation Ultramar Sur, though key U.S. and U.K. archives remain classified.
  • The surrender of German submarines U-530 and U-977 in Argentina in 1945 continues to fuel speculation about Nazi escapes, including Adolf Hitler's rumored survival.
  • Soviet leaders, including Stalin and Marshal Zhukov, cast early doubt on Hitler's suicide, citing the absence of his body and intelligence suggesting a possible escape.
  • The 80th anniversary of Hitler's death coincides with a rise in revisionist narratives, promoted by figures like Alice Weidel, Viktor Orbán, and Tucker Carlson.
  • Historians and experts warn that Holocaust denial and distortion are increasingly weaponized by far-right movements to undermine collective memory.
