Yes, there was a recent TV program "Mysteryquest" which followed a geneticist from U of Conn to Moscow to examine the records. He was given 2 hours. He took blood swabs from Hitlers sofa and got to take several small pieces of the skull back to Conn.

The skull fragment he examined looked to him in Moscow that 1) it was a younger skull than the 57 yo Hitler's (the skull plates had not fully fused). And a part of the cranial base was very thin. He commented on camera that it appeared it was a female skull.

Back in the lab, the DNA team found that the DNA recovered from the skull was female and the blood from the sofa was male. Unfortunately, the team did not have a Hitler DNA profile and the living relatives in the US did not respond to the UofC's request for their DNA to compare to the male DNA from the blood found on the sofa.

in addition, a German computer animator used original blue prints to create a 3D redition of the Hitler's bunker. It was used to debunk "eye witness" reports of how Hitler died by his own hand. (Some reported hearing the gunshots in the upper bunker which was clearly improbable based on the 3-D reconstruction).

Anyway, did Adolf make it to SA? Maybe he lived out his days in a jungle retreat...

(There was a great Playboy cartoon of exactly that scenario years ago : All the old missing Nazi's were on the veranda of a hacienda surrounded by jungle. Hitler was looking old and mad, and martin Borman was saying to him...."but Adolf, that was a long time ago, just give it up"

The Beagle Has Landed!

A stirring tale of canine courage from WWII

A small cardboard box hidden away in a dusty storeroom at the Albert Hall
contains a forgotten relic of one of the most remarkable stories to come
out of the second world war. Amazingly, the hero of this story is not a
commando, fighter pilot or sea capta
in, but a tiny dog named Nipper...

London, 1945.
After 6 years of conflict, cracks were beginning to show in the morale of
the British public. During a concert at the Royal Albert Hall, forces'
sweetheart Vera Lynn stepped to the front of the stage and began to sing:
"Hitler. Has only got one ball. The
other. Is in the Albert Hall..." but before she could begin the second
verse, she was interrupted by an angry man in the crowd.
"That's what they keep on telling us," he yelled, "but where is it? I ain't
seen it!" His neighbour stood up and agreed.
"If they'd really got Adolf's knacker, they'd show us the perishin' thing.
I reckons it's all propaganda, an we're losin' this war an' no mistake!"
The crowd soon became an angry mob.
"What do we want? Hitler's ball! When do we want it? Now!" they chanted.

The very next day, Prime Minister Winston Churchill summoned Dambusters
hero Neville Barnes Wallis to his office.
"Professor" he announced gravely, "I cannot overemphasise the importance to
Britain's morale of securing one of the Fuhrer's clockweights." The boffin
was given just one week to mount a mission to seize one of Hitler's
testicles and bring it back to the Albert Hall.
Walking home through Hyde Park, Barnes Wallis puzzled over the problem.
"Hitler's gonads are the most heavily fortified in Europe. His pants are
literally impregnable. No allied soldier could get within 50 miles of them
with a pair of secateurs." Suddenly
, his eyes fell upon a small dog retrieving a rubber ball thrown by its
owner. "By jove!" he cried. "I know how it can be done!"
the professor's brilliant brainwave was to parachute a small dog into
Berlin, where it would penetrate the rigid security around the animal
loving Fuhrer's bunker. After ripping off one of Hitler's nuts, the dog was
to carry it back to England, where it w
ould be displayed to the public at the Albert Hall. Hundreds of dogs were
brought to Aldershot and put through their paces by Barnes Wallis. But it
was a little beagle named Nipper who, through small in stature, stood head
and shoulders above the rest. Du
ring his intensive training for the mission, the plucky fellow never once
failed to sever a dummy pod from the decoy Hitler.
"Well done, lad. I think you're ready," announced Barnes Wallis. "You
parachute into Berlin tonight." The brave little dog wagged his tail
eagerly.
Nipper was taken from Aldershot to Gracie Fields house in Oldham, where he
was given the scent of Hitler's scrotum by sniffing her chin. Then he was
flown in a Halifax bomber deep into enemy territory. At dead of night he
was dropped from 35,000 feet dire
ctly over the Reichstag. "Fetch the ball, boy!" shouted Barnes Wallis above
the roar of the engines as he pulled the beagle's little ripcord.

Will Nipper retrieve the one of the dictators pills?

Will he land? at all?

Who knows, and who cares!

find out in the next exciting installment of

The Beagle has Landed!!!!

Here's an interesting site with Hitler Trivia.....

(Do you really "know" Adolf?)


Adolf Hitler Trivia - Adolf Hitler Information and Facts


I'm not sure how factual the "facts" really are, but fun reading...

Mayhaps the piece the Russians donated to the man from Conn. was from Eva instead of Adolf? Hard to tell bone from bone until it is examined closely, and Eva's skull suture lines may not have fully fused, she was much younger than Adolf afterall.

Yes, that was my thought about a female skull too. Are there any living relatives of Eva for a possible DNA match?

If it were Eva, then who put the bullet in her head? Why would you shoot a woman who's been dead for a week?

Maybe the Russians wanted to be SURE she was really dead and not playing possum?

i saw this in the paper and i was looking at what it said and it said the part of the falklands war was to try and hide this secret antartic base where hitler was taken by 2 germans submarines after the fall of berlin. i thought it was rather strange that it said this about the germans. if anybody needs to know anymore information which isnt stated in the paper link i still have the newspaper.
