Re: Is it possible Hitler died -43?
If Hitler died in 1943 who did Guderian have his blazing rows with then?
He knew the real man enough to spot a fake.
What utter rubbish this claim is.

Re: Is it possible Hitler died -43?
I dont really know what the big deal is. I saw Hitler last week with Stalin, waking out of Wal-Mart and jumping into a car driven by Pol Pot.

Re: Is it possible Hitler died -43?
" The reasons for the failure of the assassination attempt of March 13,1943 have never been fully clarified. The major problem was how to undo their plan and recover the package. Tresckow decided to telephone Brandt. Coolly he asked him to hold on to the package- there had been an unfortunate mix-up. Schlabrendorff would come the next day on the daily courier flight to Rastenburg and exchange it for the right one.
Fortunately, Brandt still had the original package the next morning and the exchange was made. Schlabrendorff headed for the waiting train, which was to take him to Berlin that evening. Once in a closed compartment, he opened the bomb with a razor blade and removed the detonator. He found that the capsule had broken, the acid had eaten its way through the wire holding the firing pin, the firing pin had struck as intended, and even the percussion cap seemed to have ignited. But the explosive had not gone off.
Among the theories that have been advanced to explain this mystery, the most likely is that the heater in the plane´s cargo hold had malfunctioned , as it sometimes did, and the explosive, which was sensitive to cold, failed to ignite as a result."
From "Plotting Hitler´s death" by Joachim Fest

Shurely you'd be better off asking Glen Millar?
