[COLD OPEN. DRONE SHOT OF PATAGONIAN LAKE.]

April 30, 1945. Adolf Hitler shoots himself in his bunker under Berlin. That's the story, right? That's what they taught you.

But the FBI kept investigating. For years.

[GRAPHIC: FBI VAULT DOCUMENTS.]

These are real. The FBI's own files, released to the public, include letters, newspaper clippings, and tips claiming Hitler escaped. One informant told a Los Angeles newspaper that he was one of four men who met Hitler when two submarines landed in Argentina. He said he was paid fifteen thousand dollars to keep quiet. [1]

[BEAT.]

Then the reporter couldn't find him again. Ever.

[END CARD. LIKE AND SUBSCRIBE.]

The fact that they "couldn't find him" tells you everything.
