Author´s Note

For more than fifteen years, upon receiving testimonies from several witnesses, I have been investigating the possibility that Adolf Hitler would have lived in Argentina, where this Nazi ideologist could have lived peacefully and protected after having escaped from Berlin. Having personally been a pioneer journalist in publishing articles about this topic in several newspapers as well as interviews with people who shared moments with Hitler after WWII. In these pieces, barely spread by national and international news agencies, have been a basis for books, documentaries and further studies. However, in many cases, having been cited out of context of the general investigation, they did not acquire the importance that this work has, by presenting them together with new information in the form of puzzle pieces which fit perfectly.
After having completed these works, the last one was my book ‘Bariloche Nazi’ in which I confirm that Hitler escaped and that the official version of his suicide is a fraud, created considerable controversy.
What I mean to say is that as time passes by, the idea that Hitler did not commit an honorable suicide but that in fact, like a skilled magician, vanished in front of an audience who were never able to learn the final trick, is more verifiable than ever.
The investigation here presented is made up of a contribution of a titanic-size work to know what really happened. All this research was carried out in Argentina; this is why this research is only based in facts found in this country, which tend to show that Hitler survived the hecatomb.
The proposed objective in this investigative work is to gather the greatest amount of proof of the presence of the Nazi leader in South America. It is obvious that no clues were left at sight and that there is a conspiracy of silence among the sectors involved, which brings serious difficulties when investigating the case. The escape details, first from his bunker in Berlin to an European city and then the long voyage to South America, are not covered in this work.
Some authors have already made progress on this last topic and it is clear that in the near future more material will be available to show that the escape did take place.
The truth is what motivates this work and revealing it is part of my contribution to the heritage for humanity. Documentation, which was classified as Top Secret and belonging to world powers who participated in the war, would be very useful if released.
An important part of this labor was done while I was a correspondent for ‘DyN’, Diarios y Noticias news agency in the city of Bariloche, where I have been living since 1978, and ‘La Mañana del Sur’ newspaper, belonging to the Buenos Aires ‘Ambito Financiero’.
For several years I have been looking for traces of Hitler, and now I continue with this endeavor. I must confess that with each new piece of information that is known, and this is persistently happening, even at the time of editing the book amazes me utterly.
The language used in this book is journalistic, because it is a work of a reporter and in each chapter some unknown events, which do not form part of the official story, are brought to light.
It is an unfinished research, as people and situations as well as classified official documentation need to be looked into, to finally reveal the best kept secret of the 20th century.
