Hitler's Lost Sub 

In 1991, a fisherman's net snagged on a massive object on the seafloor 60 miles off the coast of New Jersey. Professional diver John Chatterton went down to investigate and discovered an intact German U-boat from World War II, complete with unexploded torpedoes and the remains of its crew. Astonishingly, neither the American or British authorities, nor even the German government itself, had any record of a U-boat having sunk there.

Chatterton and his diving partner Richie Kohler set out to establish the submarine's identity. After six years of work, which included the tragic loss of three divers, they finally did so. The boat is U-869, a submarine previously thought lost off the coast of Morocco.

In this Flash feature, lead yourself on a self-guided tour of U-869, a Type IXC/40 U-boat that sank for reasons unknown in early 1945.

Questions raised by this program were why was the U-boat found off the coast of the United States when it was thought to have been sunk off the coast of Morocco. Was that a deliberate smokescreen perpetrated by the Reich to cover its real mission to evacuate Hitler to Argentina who if he had stayed in Berlin would have faced certain death when captured by the Russians. 

I believe the Allies were duped into believing U-869 was lost and then with the British Navy concentrating on other targets she set off to collect Hitler from the coast of Norway and take him to Argentina. The Fuhrer, Bormann and some of his other  henchmen once onboard would escape to a new life in South America like other well documented escapees Joseph Mandela and Adolf Eichman.

Once Hitler had been safely delivered to a Nazi safe house, U-869 was ordered to surrender to the Americans and whilst on their way to New York a bomb set by the SS with a timing device exploded destroying the ship and killing all onboard - the final part of a breathtaking deception.

Hitler was totally protected by the Thule Society jncluding his hand picked Schutzstaffel, and to help him disappear Juan Peron a sympathetic right wing dictator was alleged to have been paid 800 million dollars in Nazi gold.
