Do you think Hitler committed suicide?

[mistermack]

I think he probably did, but this photo still bugs me.
It's recently released by the FBI. Information received by agents that he might have been alive in Argentina.
The picture is old now of course.
It's not just the similarity of the two pics, it's it's similarity to other pictures of Hitler that bug me.

Plus the murky and weak evidence for his apparent suicide.
It's a shame they didn't know about dna at the time.

odds are, he did... that pic is about as convincing as Glaxo's or Soupyinverse's rants.

[Brian Peacock]

Don't care.

Yes the odds are he did I guess.
The picture doesn't look too much like the other. But it look a hell of a lot like other pictures I've seen of him
And the nose is the same in the two. And the ear profiles look identical.
Like I said, it's probably not him. But the picture does nag at me.

The suicide thing would have been easy to set up. And you would think that they would have had something planned.
The best evidence was some dental bridges that were found in the ashes. But they could have been copies, held in readiness for such an event, and planted.

He's be 129 if he had lived.

He basically committed suicide on June 22, 1941, when he invaded the USSR.

[mistermack]

True. Same could be said about the six million jews of course.

This pic is more like the FBI one for comparison :

Impossible to say. Albeit genetic testing for descendants might be the best way forward now. They should be suffering similar congenital defects to Hitler and be close to a age when they'd surface? and become noticeable.

I've drawn him a little moustache to see what that does.
I think it makes it look even more of a match :

[Svartalf]

definitely not convincing, the chin and cheekbones are not identical....

I'd say that the cheekbones ARE identical. And the chin is within the limits of a slightly different facial expression.
The shape of the eye slits, and the bags around them are identical. The nose is the same. The ears are the same. I'd say it's a very strong similarity. Although obviously not conclusive by any means.

I'd like to know more about the history of the photo though. All I can glean is that it's a recent FBI release, it's connected with Argentina and a possible Hitler sighting. Nothing more than that, but there must have been more in the file.

[Svartalf]

no, hitler was definitely broader in the cheeks

[mistermack]

no, hitler was definitely broader in the cheeks

That depends on the expression on the face :



Another thing that's identical is the lower lip, which has a sort of squared off look, rather than a continuous curve. It's exactly the same in all the pictures, including the FBI one.

[laklak]

Def some similarities, but it could go either way. He'd likely have had plastic surgery in any case. He had Doc Mengele with him down in Paraguay, after all.

Guy looks like my grandfather.

I guess the photo is just a photo of Hitler with the moustache and hair removed with Photoshop.
