So the senior Nazi who had knowledge of and access to the forgery operation the SS ran AND who happened to be a skilled veteran pilot, disappeared at the end of the war. Furthermore, this guy made it his career to find people who definitely did not want to be found. Is it possible he learned what the best methods of hiding were during his time as head of the Gestapo?
My pet theory is that the body in the grave (as suggested by another amateur historian) is actually Hermann Fegelein's. His body was never found, but the morgue attendant apprently said it was a Gruppenfuherer's uniform with no decoration and the man was shot in the back. That would match some of the stories surrounding Fegelein's death. Then Muller, or one of his men just slipped his ID into the dead man's pocket and off he went. It wolud be interesting if they could exhume the body and do DNA testing.
That is a very good theory. Like they said in the movie "Robocop", atleast I think that was the movie I heard that line. "I'll buy that for a dollar" 😂
The fact that numerous people were killed by the Gestapo, I would have assumed he had all of their background information and could assume many people's identities. Those who likely had few relatives or friends and who had an established paper trail could merely have fake papers made to fit him. The invading forces would have to use the German's identification documents when they took over. I somewhat suspect the rumors were fake rumors created by the Soviets in order to cause chaos and see if the wrongful information reappears somewhere indicating they had a leak or spy somewhere. If they tell one of their operatives that this guy was working for them and Western intelligence starts trying to find out if it was true, then they know they have a problem with that operative.
Been watching you for almost a year now and you have not once put out a video that I haven't enjoyed, even helped me in my history exam of Soviet Russia. Thank you for your amazing content.
Martin Bormann was the most senior Nazi to disappear after the war. He was named as Hitler’s successor in Hitler’s last will and testament. He was sentenced to death in absentia at Nuremberg. His escape was covered up with a carefully “discovered” skeleton that Martin Bormann’s own family refused to take custody of. When Adolf Eichmann was captured by Mossad, his oldest son traveled to Germany and attempted to surrender Martin Bormann’s whereabouts to those in charge of the Bormann Manhunt. They stonewalled Eichmann son and sent him back to South America. Look into the Laurence De Mello TH-cam Channel for more on the cover up. As for Gestapo Muller, he lived to be 92 years old.
I follow a treasure hunter from Mexico that has a channel here on TH-cam using a metal detector. He had heard a legend about a Nazi soldier that had showed up after ww2 and had moved into a shack outside of town in the middle of nowhere and only come to town a couple of times a year for supplies. He went out to the site and actually found Nazi coins which confirmed that the tale was true. He's probably one of these war criminals.
The one that got away !.He went to Argentina and lived a ripe old age of 100 years and left behind a legacy of several millions to his family and friends!.
They got no idea where he went… a possibility but also just as likely he died in ‘45 (I’m sure he did get away a man like muller could easily have disappeared without a trace)
I saw Muller in Durban South Africa. He was running a small German restaurant and served me the best pork knuckle I've ever eaten with mouth watering potato dumplings. When i asked him about his war record he claimed he was Swiss but i knew.
Great Research.... as a kid, my brother and discovered a box hidden in an attic of a house my grandma was cleaning. Inside this box was a complete “Brown Uniform, with Nazi Arm Bands , Black Jack Boots , Banner Nazi Flag , pistol with holster, money, books , Passports and many many items. Before us kids could check his IDENTITY, my Grandmother interrupt our silence. My Grandmother was friends with this German Officer’s . Ironically he shot his wife and days later he suffered a stroke then died. I still lament with my brother over who this man was. All my Grandmother would tell us is that he was very tall and very mean. 🤔
It sounds a lot like a guy I rented from in WI who was also tall with strange eyes and a man who owned many properties there. He looked.very much like the Aryan superman with a slight German brogue! Craggy faced with sharp chiselled features and gray blue eyes with a strange cast to them. He looked a great deal like the guy assassinated on the streets of a major city in Eastern Europe by two partisans. Supposedly he died from his wounds. Maybe not, I'm thinking!
Reinhard Heydrich is the guy who was very tall and supposedly killed by partisans in an open Mercedes via assassination! Head of Totenkopf SS in charge of work and death kampen under Heinrich Himmler!
Very interesting post as always, I appreciated your research, photos and editing, you have an excellent channel! 👌 So many Nazis escaped justice after the war and unfortunately, it appears unlikely we will ever truly know what happened to this high ranking official. But it is interesting to speculate!
Please investigate more about Reinhard Heydrich, you will find out that (according to official history writing) he died in Hospital at 04th June 1942 because he received no Penicelline (because Germany hat no modern antibiotics productions) after the hand grenade attack carried out by british agents in Prague BUT you will find out that Germany had plenty of Penicelline taken from other countries as Poland, Czechia, Belgium, Netherlands, Norway, Denmark and France...all those countries had large imported stocks made in UK or under licence. Germany also manufactured synthetical antibiotics that were quite effective. I am talking about Richard Kuhn / SS controlled SCHERING Werke and the preparate 3065. All those effective drugs were available for high ranking party members and I tell you Heydrich was the 3rd powerful man after Hitler and Himmler. Couldn´t it be that Heydrichs death was a cover story and he became the "inoffical" administration brain of the SUPER HIGH TECH program. Reinhard Heyrich was an evil mastermind, hyper intelligent and ruthless. Hans Kammler certainly was NOT the highest person in the SS super weapon program (and even more important not the highest person in the SD (and I am not talking about Ernst Kaltenbrunner or Heinrich Mueller who were only "Mielkes" chasing and killing Anti-Nazi conspirators or libreating Mussolini!) Kammler not even received the highest SD rank "OBERSTGRUPPENFÜHER" even Kaltenbrunner was not SD OBERSTGRUPPENFÜHRER. But we know that there were several high ranking Scientists and Organisators in the German super weapon program carrying the title OBERSTGRUPPENFÜHRER. Hans Kammler was boss of the Jägerstab and most secret facility-construction projects BUT NOT the general Organisator of the secret SD high tech armament program (those "things" beyond ME 262, V1 and V2). (Even Speer did not know everything about the superweapons because SD did not fully trust him, instead of that SD informed Bormann very well, and Bormann (he himself was SS Obergruppenführer like Kammler!) was a close friend of the mayor of Wechmar, who was a high SD member involved in that S3 thing!) Himmler was only on paper the REICHSFÜHRER SS and Boss of the police and SD but he was more in the concetration camp "thing" and less the driving mind behind the superweapons. Himmler was not the most intelligent man at all! Just think about how it would have been if Heydrich was the true head of the deep SD state. The SD was a (much feared!) state in the state of the SS and the SS was a state in the state (Reich) itself. Could it be that Heydrich was the hidden superbrain behind the Superweapons program, maybe his office was located at Riese, according to witnesses (a Reichspost engineer from the Ardenne team who helped with the installation of a second betatron there) we know that the SS and SD in Riese had completely different badges on their uniforms not the "normal SS or SD" signs. So what kind of organisation was that and who was responsible for the Riese "thing" ?
I would have thought Martin Borman was the most senior Nazi to disappear after fleeing the bunker, although he probably died in Berlin nobody really knows what happened to him he could have escaped after all others did.
"Most senior" is problematic. Borman would have been more senior within the party, but Mueller would be a higher ranking official within the government.
Hey Kevin! I'm happy you enjoy the HoP so much. The videos are ready and I might upload them next week (and start 2x weekly uploads) but it really depends on the performance of these shorter vids. If these continue to do so well I might release the HoP later on (and upload them unlisted in the playlist, or upload them for my patrons). The sad truth is they weren't getting close to the amount of views these vids are getting, and they took 10 times as long to create.
@@HoH K-Kevin... It's Michael lol, you can call me ah Siegfried if you want. I get you, people don't really care about Prussia and I'd be surprised if people know what Prussia is. I think it's good that you're focusing on the content you're making money on. I've really enjoyed the HoP series. I think you could probably advertise it with some 'Prussian fanantics', I dunno, advertise yourself on r/Kaiserposting or something.
Woops that's what I get for replying to you 1 min after waking up. Sorry Michael! Haha maybe once the doc is finished I'll try to post it to some communities. I am not that familiar with internet cultures. Once I upload the vids unlisted I'll let you know!
@@HoH Thank you so much! On a different note, how much research do you need to put into each of the videos? They're very detailed. Do you have like a history degree?
HoP videos take well over 10 hours to research because I use multiple books (and actually read them all). It is why the series has lasted for over 6 months and I have actually been working on it since June 2019 (!). These videos are a bit easier. I usually read 2-3 chapters of books on the relevant subject and then spend another few hours writing the script. Recording & editing takes around 8 hours per video. In short: it's far from cost-efficient but I really enjoy this as a hobby and potentially something bigger in the future. Yes, I have a degree both in History and in Political Science.
8:10 That was "once" a jewish cemetery. It was demolished in 1943 and used in the last days of fighting in Berlin as a mass grave. www.jg-berlin.org/en/judaism/cemeteries/grosse-hamburger-strasse.html
@@sirstephen9825 actually it wasn't confirmed, the bones that turned out to be Boorman's were dumped at sea by the Germans after doing the analysis,and there was evidence of red clay on the bones that isn't found in Germany,there is strong possibility he ended up in Argentina, and died there. If it was on the level,whu did they dispose of the bones? My guess is because it would be embrassing that Boorman escaped, as many did, was never found,and also that groups like the Red Cross and the Catholic church helped him escape via the so called rat lines.
@@sirstephen9825 Yes,that isn't in dispute. The question is were the bones in Germany the whole time ie since 1945, or had Borman gotten to Argentina and died there decades later? The report mentions the bones were encased in a red clay that apparently is found nowhere in Germany but is common in certain parts of Argentina. One of the suspicious things is the Germans after analyzing the bones didn't save them or bury them,they dumped them at sea...why? On the show Hunting for Hitler they couldn't understand why unless they had something they wanted to cover up. Among other things,bone analysis could tell them how long the bones had been buried, if he had died in Berlin in 1945 they would show different decay then if had died decades later in Argentina.
He wasn't the most senior Nazi to vanish. That was Hans Kammler. He went into American custody and then vanished. As detailed in a new book "The Hidden Nazi".
It depends how you define seniority. Muller may not have had the rank of Kammler, but he was arguably way more powerful and influential in the Nazi state. Muller reported directly to Himmler, bypassing Kaltenbrunner, RSHA head and also had regular access to Hitler.
@@peteincretepm you forgot the Russians had Hitler's teeth and they were very easy to identify.The Russians had Hitler's remains until the late sixties when the KGB finally decided to cremate al his remains.His ashes were thrown in the river.
National Socialism is still socialism - a left wing ideology. It's farther right than Communism or Stalinist-Socialism, but farther left than Modern Liberalism.
I enjoy your video's, you speak very clearly with a voice suited to narration. I understand we'll never know for sure how many missing Nazi's suicided, escaped or defected. You explain well the possibility/probability of different options that may of occurred. Reading the comments below your video's, it never ceases to amaze me the amount of arm chair experts (mainly American) that rubbish you or your channel. Keep up the great work, I feel better educated after watching your vid's. 👍
I would think that Muller had gotten rid of his unifrom, and like many others, perhaps changed into some KZ/prisoner outfit ? Anyways, if Stalins secret police could make good use of Muller early-post-war they surely would ! but as soon as muller was of no value, I would think they felt no remorse to just knock him off, and in some unmarked grave ! so many unmarked graves allready
In the 1970s the Soviet TV produced a miniseries called Seventeen Moments of Spring on the exploits of a fictional deep-cover Soviet agent Otto von Stirlitz, a direct subordinate of Mueller's. Despite being supposedly an evil Nazi, Mueller was given a rather sympathetic portrayal, played as an intelligent and likeable person by the famous actor Leonid Bronevoy... His constant mind games and piqueing with Stirlitz entered the Russian vernacular and both became sort of folk heroes. Given that the series was sanctioned at the highest level and reportedly well liked by the KGB head Andropov, it wouldn't be too implausible to suggest that a) Mueller did feed some intel to the Soviets during the war and was the real Stirlitz b) Soviets did evacuate and hide him after the war c) because some aspects of that cooperation weren't perfect (Mueller was after all a Nazi) publicly recognizing him and making him a hero wasn't acceptable, but the Soviets found a way to slightly repair his image at least unofficially. Anyway, just a wild theory )))
More World Wars content! 👍🏻 Also just advise for the good of the channel outreach and to halt censorship that you try keep NSDAP symbolism out of thumbnails at least, I understand History shouldn’t be censored but it would likely spread your videos around a lot faster without it I assume
Next couple of weeks should be more interesting stories from WW2, such as the RAF pilot that made an entire island surrender and the last Japanese soldier holding out after the war. Thanks for the tip, I try to "cover" the symbols but you're right, it should be more properly covered.
Thanks for this. Had seen much speculation but no answers. Seems there is none. Also thanks for the video on Borman. Had seen the ref. to Borman's suicide at the end of downfall but didn't see where that came from. BTW, do you have a paypal address? Not wealthy enough for patreon but willing to send the odd payment.
A soldier is 'decorated'. From wiki: The Iron Cross (German: Eisernes Kreuz (help·info), abbreviated EK) is a former military decoration in the Kingdom of Prussia, and later in the German Empire (1871-1918) and Nazi Germany (1933-1945).
Decoration. 1. something used for decorating; adornment; embellishment: The gymnasium was adorned with posters and crepe-paper decorations for the dance. the act of decorating. interior decoration. 2. a badge, medal, etc., conferred and worn as a mark of honor: a decoration for bravery.
I recently saw a video of where the grave ofReinhard Heydrich was supposed to be located and it showed the same grave that was shown in this video of the grave in Berlin.
Well done! The chaos of the end of WW2 makes documenting such things extremely difficult. Which im sure several of the German high command used to their advantage!
I'm pretty such he hopped in die Glocke and teleported to Kecksburg PA in 1965, he was arrested by the US military where he and his time machine were confiscated.
Heinrich Muller and my dad are alike, both disappeared when things went bad. Mullet disappeared bc of the war ending and my dad disappearing when I was born
A technical point. Muller didn’t join the SS, after the Nazi Regime took power ALL members of the Police automatically became part of the SS. The Gestapo were “simply” the domestic counter intelligence arm of the Police, like the Special Branch of the Metropolitan Police in England or the “Red Squads” of various police forces in the US.
I'm not so sure about him being all that competent and smart, I've heard Müler was just good at strictly following commands from above and being a sucker to higher ranks. If it wasn't for Nazis, who valued loyalty over competence, he likely would remain just some minor bureaucrat.
@Brown Green They didn't. The only thing that spared them for even that long was - neither UK, nor USA had large land army to begin with, and those troops that finally got organised were not in continental Europe anyway, while Soviets needed time and resources (weapons, fuel, raw materials, time for training and production) to come back to senses after the catastrophic defeat in mid 1941.
For some reason this video reminded me of one of the few stories my Grandpa told me about the war. He found a German soldier wrapped in a a Nazi flag had committed suicide. No one was willing to and couldn't identify him, I often wonder if it could have been him.
The body of a Gestapo uniform with Muller's papers found in Berlin had no covers or medals that Muller was proud of. It was just a copy of Muller's body.
I would venture to say that the story of his supposed defection to the Soviets was carefully fabricated to cover for his escape in a different direction. As the presenter here admits, the real story is still a 'maybe'.
A very good video piece on Heinrich Muller..a very dedicated member of Himmlers police force and Gestapo...they say he wasn't really that political but that he loved his Job..a person you did not want on your ass because he didn't stop until he had you and he was indifferent to murder and torture which in turn came with the job as being head of the feared Gestapo...I think in my opinion he survived the war and faded into obscurity..perhaps even doing police work for a south American dictator....you referred to his Iron Cross as a decoration ..it was a medal that he earned..not a nic nak that you put on someone's end table..good video..thanks!!!
Decoration is proper terminology for military awards, when being officially presented one the receiving soldier is said to have been decorated, and yes this is an excellent video
@Butcher Bird well ty for pointing that out to me...I never said he was wrong..nor did I profess myself a genius...thank you for grading my post by the way..it's a matter of opinion...as for chasing ghosts? Or shooting at them...please grant me a wise explaination ...you have peaked my curiosity
@Butcher Bird to be honest ...I just thought in my opinion that by calling it a decoration ..he was trivialising the Iron Cross...I'm sure it meant alot to Muller..something he was proud of...it was never about what it was called ..medal or decoration...both work ...it's just the way he went about saying it...he could of said it in a way that made the Iron Cross sound like a substantial .... decoration lol...it's just myself and the way I perceive it...it's my problem not his...and I never said you were mean... pointing out my grammar on my post is a bit anal...I mean I can point out umpteen mistakes other people make....but I generally get what they are trying to say..and let it slide...unless your a English professor ...then I might kinda under stand...I mean you said no problem... implying that there was one..it was just my opinion..but thanks for explaining the shooting ghost thing...I am if u must know..German..,..so I pardon you..have a good night
In 1929 Heydrich formed the PID, Presse und Informations Dienst, the forerunner of the SD, he lead this department, when it became the Sicherheitsdienst, Muller was just an ordinary plod!
I believe as well, that the strongest and most capable leaders fled to Argentina, Chile, Bolivia, Peru, and Patagonia! Hams Kammler is another mystery that no one can trace or prove their end or locations!
A well done documentary, thank you for the post. I was looking at your channel, it doesn't say where you're from and such. I'm having problems placing your accent, Please tell me a little about yourself.
I knew as an acquaintance a Peruvian named Muller...who claimed his father was a former high-ranking Nazi official who was on the run...the name might have been Heinrich but I don't remember.

Andrio Roberts, naah , this guy is just as politically correct as the History Channel.
The History Channel needs to be renamed.
The world was different in those days - it was much easier to lose one’s self. I very much doubt he’d post his profile on Facebook
Perhaps he used his police skills to create a number of false 'legends' and contradictory trails in order to quietly disappear.
That is a very good theory. Like they said in the movie "Robocop", atleast I think that was the movie I heard that line. "I'll buy that for a dollar" 😂
Ah, but don't you think he would have arranged for someone to report his actual death just to thumb a nose at the allies.
Yes the OSS employed many of the SS, before they changed the name to the CIA.
The fact that numerous people were killed by the Gestapo, I would have assumed he had all of their background information and could assume many people's identities. Those who likely had few relatives or friends and who had an established paper trail could merely have fake papers made to fit him.

So what happened to the stuff?
The movie “Wannsee conference” is way better than the movie “Conspiracy”, I think.
That movie scared the shit out of me. The banality of evil.
It was an excellent film, but the actor who played Muller looked nothing like him.
Bufoferrata in the “Wannsee conference”, you mean?
I have never seen the former. But Conspiracy is a great movie. Also very nostalgic for me.
He was last seen in a Berlin beer hall. Apparently, he was well mullered.

Some rumours were that he had been a Soviet agent since 1940 and came in from the cold in 1945.

I've really enjoyed the HoP series. I think you could probably advertise it with some 'Prussian fanantics', I dunno, advertise yourself on r/Kaiserposting or something.
Woops that's what I get for replying to you 1 min after waking up. Sorry Michael!
Haha maybe once the doc is finished I'll try to post it to some communities. I am not that familiar with internet cultures.
Once I upload the vids unlisted I'll let you know!
@@HoH Thank you so much!
On a different note, how much research do you need to put into each of the videos? They're very detailed. Do you have like a history degree?
HoP videos take well over 10 hours to research because I use multiple books (and actually read them all). It is why the series has lasted for over 6 months and I have actually been working on it since June 2019 (!).
These videos are a bit easier. I usually read 2-3 chapters of books on the relevant subject and then spend another few hours writing the script. Recording & editing takes around 8 hours per video. In short: it's far from cost-efficient but I really enjoy this as a hobby and potentially something bigger in the future.
Yes, I have a degree both in History and in Political Science.
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it
Thank you for a very interesting story regarding the second World War. Keep up the good work.
Thank you
A fantastically intriguing mystery! Thank you!
Excellent video; I love this type of content! Well done ;)
Thanks!
8:10 That was "once" a jewish cemetery. It was demolished in 1943 and used in the last days of fighting in Berlin as a mass grave. www.jg-berlin.org/en/judaism/cemeteries/grosse-hamburger-strasse.html
Really enjoy videos especially your audio. Wish I could speak as clearly and directly as yourself
Great video - very informative.
I thought Martin Borman was the most senior.
I would have thought the same. this is interesting no matter
He was missing for a long time. More recently it has been confirmed that he died in Berlin during the last days of WWII.
@@sirstephen9825 actually it wasn't confirmed, the bones that turned out to be Boorman's were dumped at sea by the Germans after doing the analysis,and there was evidence of red clay on the bones that isn't found in Germany,there is strong possibility he ended up in Argentina, and died there. If it was on the level,whu did they dispose of the bones? My guess is because it would be embrassing that Boorman escaped, as many did, was never found,and also that groups like the Red Cross and the Catholic church helped him escape via the so called rat lines.
@@njlauren DNA testing confirmed the bones as being Boreman.
@@sirstephen9825 Yes,that isn't in dispute. The question is were the bones in Germany the whole time ie since 1945, or had Borman gotten to Argentina and died there decades later? The report mentions the bones were encased in a red clay that apparently is found nowhere in Germany but is common in certain parts of Argentina. One of the suspicious things is the Germans after analyzing the bones didn't save them or bury them,they dumped them at sea...why? On the show Hunting for Hitler they couldn't understand why unless they had something they wanted to cover up. Among other things,bone analysis could tell them how long the bones had been buried, if he had died in Berlin in 1945 they would show different decay then if had died decades later in Argentina.
The same Mikhail Goloniewski who claimed to be the Russian Tsarevich? Obviously a very reliable man.
Yes, very good point.
Once again another great video, thanks
Glad you enjoyed it!
Very interesting. Keep up the great content.
Great vid mate
I think the last captures was Klaus Barbie
in Bolivia. He was working and doing business for the goverment
No,latest famous name founded was ss-captein Erich Priebke
He wasn't the most senior Nazi to vanish.
That was Hans Kammler.
He went into American custody and then vanished.
As detailed in a new book "The Hidden Nazi".
Hitler was never found!
It depends how you define seniority. Muller may not have had the rank of Kammler, but he was arguably way more powerful and influential in the Nazi state. Muller reported directly to Himmler, bypassing Kaltenbrunner, RSHA head and also had regular access to Hitler.
Yes he was!
Radical Nation . No he wasn’t.
@@peteincretepm you forgot the Russians had Hitler's teeth and they were very easy to identify.The Russians had Hitler's remains until the late sixties when the KGB finally decided to cremate al his remains.His ashes were thrown in the river.
2:55 Müller: Far right.
Well, yes, he was indeed far right
Nazi's were and are far left
National Socialism is still socialism - a left wing ideology. It's farther right than Communism or Stalinist-Socialism, but farther left than Modern Liberalism.
I enjoy your video's, you speak very clearly with a voice suited to narration.
I understand we'll never know for sure how many missing Nazi's suicided, escaped or defected. You explain well the possibility/probability of different options that may of occurred. Reading the comments below your video's, it never ceases to amaze me the amount of arm chair experts (mainly American) that rubbish you or your channel. Keep up the great work, I feel better educated after watching your vid's. 👍
Thanks for the nice comment, Steve. Much appreciated!
"Müller, far right"....gave me a chuckle.
Very informative thanks
I would think that Muller had gotten rid of his unifrom, and like many others, perhaps changed into some KZ/prisoner outfit ? Anyways, if Stalins secret police could make good use of Muller early-post-war they surely would ! but as soon as muller was of no value, I would think they felt no remorse to just knock him off, and in some unmarked grave ! so many unmarked graves allready
Very, very good. Thank you.
Great vid man
Bormann (Hitler's political heir) was senior to Müller
Wasn't Martin Bormann the most senior to disappear?
Bormann was the guy pulling Hitler's strings...
Operation: Paperclip.
Bariloche...
In the 1970s the Soviet TV produced a miniseries called Seventeen Moments of Spring on the exploits of a fictional deep-cover Soviet agent Otto von Stirlitz, a direct subordinate of Mueller's. Despite being supposedly an evil Nazi, Mueller was given a rather sympathetic portrayal, played as an intelligent and likeable person by the famous actor Leonid Bronevoy... His constant mind games and piqueing with Stirlitz entered the Russian vernacular and both became sort of folk heroes. Given that the series was sanctioned at the highest level and reportedly well liked by the KGB head Andropov, it wouldn't be too implausible to suggest that a) Mueller did feed some intel to the Soviets during the war and was the real Stirlitz b) Soviets did evacuate and hide him after the war c) because some aspects of that cooperation weren't perfect (Mueller was after all a Nazi) publicly recognizing him and making him a hero wasn't acceptable, but the Soviets found a way to slightly repair his image at least unofficially. Anyway, just a wild theory )))
Interesting perspective, thanks for the write-up!
i tune in to see a short video on a Nazi officer and the first thing i note the channels logo is basically a giant red HH lol
Lots of unsolved WWII mysteries that will never be solved!
At the end of the war, some witnesses saw two large Nazi rockets launch from a German base. Those rockets never came down.
What happened the Martin Bormann? He disappeared in 1945 and was senior to Muller.
I am literally writing a video about that right now! Funny coincidence.
This fellow should hook up with Mark Felton. They are both brilliant!
Thanks Winnifred, I wouldn't oppose it at all! 😉
Imagine being trialed and convicted in a country for something you supposedly did in an entirely different country, let alone - continent.
Great video.
Thanks!
at 50 seconds in let me say He went over to the Soviets.
More World Wars content! 👍🏻
Also just advise for the good of the channel outreach and to halt censorship that you try keep NSDAP symbolism out of thumbnails at least, I understand History shouldn’t be censored but it would likely spread your videos around a lot faster without it I assume
Next couple of weeks should be more interesting stories from WW2, such as the RAF pilot that made an entire island surrender and the last Japanese soldier holding out after the war.
Thanks for the tip, I try to "cover" the symbols but you're right, it should be more properly covered.
Thanks for this. Had seen much speculation but no answers. Seems there is none.
Also thanks for the video on Borman. Had seen the ref. to Borman's suicide at the end of downfall but didn't see where that came from. BTW, do you have a paypal address? Not wealthy enough for patreon but willing to send the odd payment.
If anybody could have pulled this off you have to figure with his background and experience he had a really good chance of doing it.
if people want to find him then they should have gotten philip gerard for the job.
1:07 "the ironcross decoration" its not a decoration! its a medal!..
A (military) decoration is a proper term in the English language. It is by no means an ornament.
A soldier is 'decorated'. From wiki: The Iron Cross (German: Eisernes Kreuz (help·info), abbreviated EK) is a former military decoration in the Kingdom of Prussia, and later in the German Empire (1871-1918) and Nazi Germany (1933-1945).
Decoration.
1. something used for decorating; adornment; embellishment:
The gymnasium was adorned with posters and crepe-paper decorations for the dance.
the act of decorating.
interior decoration.
2. a badge, medal, etc., conferred and worn as a mark of honor:
a decoration for bravery.
I recently saw a video of where the grave ofReinhard Heydrich was supposed to be located and it showed the same grave that was shown in this video of the grave in Berlin.
Are you him?
Well done! The chaos of the end of WW2 makes documenting such things extremely difficult. Which im sure several of the German high command used to their advantage!
Sickening.
Did he say that Hitler was a silly little house painter ?
I love the way this guy speaks. And this video is very informative.
Glad you think so!
He deserves an Oscar.......
Thanks
He became an advisor to Truman. Operation Paperclip. Posed as a Swiss liason reserve general.
This is a rad channel
Thank you!
The highest level nazi to disappear was Adolph. Second highest was Borman.
What about Martin Borman? I understand he was never found and certainly out ranked Müller.
His remains were confirmed in 1973 and it was concluded he died of cyanide suicide trying to flee Berlin
House of History ...Thanks for the update to my (lack of) information.
I'm pretty such he hopped in die Glocke and teleported to Kecksburg PA in 1965, he was arrested by the US military where he and his time machine were confiscated.
Heinrich Muller and my dad are alike, both disappeared when things went bad. Mullet disappeared bc of the war ending and my dad disappearing when I was born
Things got bad for Muller. Your dad left well before things hit the fan, lol
I thought you were going to talk about Martin Bormann
I created a separate video of him
A technical point. Muller didn’t join the SS, after the Nazi Regime took power ALL members of the Police automatically became part of the SS. The Gestapo were “simply” the domestic counter intelligence arm of the Police, like the Special Branch of the Metropolitan Police in England or the “Red Squads” of various police forces in the US.
I'm not so sure about him being all that competent and smart, I've heard Müler was just good at strictly following commands from above and being a sucker to higher ranks. If it wasn't for Nazis, who valued loyalty over competence, he likely would remain just some minor bureaucrat.
@Eric Lipten Sounds far more like Biden,remember he said he did't want his kids growing up in a racial jungle,he supported segregation.
@Brown Green
They didn't. The only thing that spared them for even that long was - neither UK, nor USA had large land army to begin with, and those troops that finally got organised were not in continental Europe anyway, while Soviets needed time and resources (weapons, fuel, raw materials, time for training and production) to come back to senses after the catastrophic defeat in mid 1941.
he worked for the sovjets and then they decided to kill and burry him - in a ss uniform and jewish cementary.
That's an interesting hypothesis!
@@HoH fact
considering other WWII stories, that isn't crazy...
Well I believe the first part and possibly the second.
It's more likely he had a stash of money and absconded to Argentina.
An pasport en mony from the Vatican en Redcros.
Genua route or Rat route to South America .like hunderd other Nazi s.
Strange? Maybe, but what a fantastic final insult to the monster Muller. Now he can spend eternity with all the people he loved so much.
Very interesting, thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it
For some reason this video reminded me of one of the few stories my Grandpa told me about the war. He found a German soldier wrapped in a a Nazi flag had committed suicide. No one was willing to and couldn't identify him, I often wonder if it could have been him.
@ImNotMad ButUR no I dont recall him saying anything about the burial, that sucks because my Grandpa is long gone now.
These cases weren’t uncommon. Most likely a minor official fearing his fate in the hands of the soviets .
Some Nazis might have gone to Antarctica or Agartha.
The body of a Gestapo uniform with Muller's papers found in Berlin had no covers or medals that Muller was proud of. It was just a copy of Muller's body.
I would venture to say that the story of his supposed defection to the Soviets was carefully fabricated to cover for his escape in a different direction. As the presenter here admits, the real story is still a 'maybe'.
A very good video piece on Heinrich Muller..a very dedicated member of Himmlers police force and Gestapo...they say he wasn't really that political but that he loved his Job..a person you did not want on your ass because he didn't stop until he had you and he was indifferent to murder and torture which in turn came with the job as being head of the feared Gestapo...I think in my opinion he survived the war and faded into obscurity..perhaps even doing police work for a south American dictator....you referred to his Iron Cross as a decoration ..it was a medal that he earned..not a nic nak that you put on someone's end table..good video..thanks!!!
Decoration is proper terminology for military awards, when being officially presented one the receiving soldier is said to have been decorated, and yes this is an excellent video
@Butcher Bird well ty for pointing that out to me...I never said he was wrong..nor did I profess myself a genius...thank you for grading my post by the way..it's a matter of opinion...as for chasing ghosts? Or shooting at them...please grant me a wise explaination ...you have peaked my curiosity
@Butcher Bird to be honest ...I just thought in my opinion that by calling it a decoration ..he was trivialising the Iron Cross...I'm sure it meant alot to Muller..something he was proud of...it was never about what it was called ..medal or decoration...both work ...it's just the way he went about saying it...he could of said it in a way that made the Iron Cross sound like a substantial .... decoration lol...it's just myself and the way I perceive it...it's my problem not his...and I never said you were mean... pointing out my grammar on my post is a bit anal...I mean I can point out umpteen mistakes other people make....but I generally get what they are trying to say..and let it slide...unless your a English professor ...then I might kinda under stand...I mean you said no problem... implying that there was one..it was just my opinion..but thanks for explaining the shooting ghost thing...I am if u must know..German..,..so I pardon you..have a good night
LIKE YOUR STYLE.I SUBSCRIBED.
In 1929 Heydrich formed the PID, Presse und Informations Dienst, the forerunner of the SD, he lead this department, when it became the Sicherheitsdienst, Muller was just an ordinary plod!
I believe as well, that the strongest and most capable leaders fled to Argentina, Chile, Bolivia, Peru, and Patagonia! Hams Kammler is another mystery that no one can trace or prove their end or locations!
I thought Borman and gestapo Muller left the bunker together and died together and the bodies were found under the bridge (can't remember the name).
I don’t know of anyone within the Third Reich’s hierarchy who could have disappeared more effectively than ‘Gestapo Muller’.
A well done documentary, thank you for the post. I was looking at your channel, it doesn't say where you're from and such. I'm having problems placing your accent, Please tell me a little about yourself.
Yep I'm Dutch. It explains occasional mispronunciations😉 !
@@HoH Thank you. I'll add your accent to my mental dictionary.
I knew as an acquaintance a Peruvian named Muller...who claimed his father was a former high-ranking Nazi official who was on the run...the name might have been Heinrich but I don't remember.
