CIA ‘knew Hitler had survived war and fled to Colombia’ HE DIED THERE IN 1971, AGED 95

THE CIA was told Adolf Hitler survived World War II and lived in Colombia among a community of ex-Nazis, declassified documents reveal.

Sources told the Americn secret agency that Hitler didn’t die until 1971, aged 95.

They did not take the claim made by a former SS soldier seriously, however the station chief in Caracas, Venezuela, did forward the claims to superiors complete, with a photo.

The files show Phillip Citroen approached agents in 1954 to say he had met a man claiming to be Hitler and living in the town of Tunja, north of Bogota.

It emerged after Colombian journalist Jose Cardenas tweeted a file that declassified in the Nineties from the CIA archive.

Citroen claims to have visited the town while working for a railway company where he was introduced to a man “who strongly resembled and claimed to be Hitler”.

He even showed CIA agents a photograph of himself sitting next to a man that bears a strong resemblance to the Nazi dictator in an attempt to prove his story.

In 1955 a second man, identified only by his code name of Cimelody-3, approached agents with the same story, which he said Citroen related to his friend.

Author claimed Abel Basti in his book Hitler In Exile that the Fuhrer escaped his bunker in Berlin via a secret tunnel before being taken to Spain.

From there Basti says he was taken to the Canary Islands where a U-Boat was waiting to take him to Argentina.

Basti believes Hitler died there in 1971 aged 95 and was buried in a secret bunker in the city of Asuncion, Paraguay, underneath what is now a hotel.
