In a 2004 post on the right-wing political forum FreeRepublic.com, Jerome Corsi ungrammatically, 鈥淟et鈥檚 see exactly why it isn鈥檛 the case that Islam is a worthless, dangerous Satanic religion? Where鈥檚 the proof to the contrary?

Now, the Harvard-educated conspiracy theorist and 鈥渂irther king鈥� asks a similar question about the end of World War II: 鈥淲here is the proof that Hitler didn鈥檛 escape?鈥�

In a new book titled Hunting Hitler: New Scientific Evidence that Hitler Escaped Nazi Germany, Corsi purports to answer that double negative with a bombshell: There is no proof that Hitler didn鈥檛 escape because, in fact, he did.

The book鈥檚 first sentence pretty much sums up the prosaic reality of Hitler鈥檚 death: 鈥淓veryone knows Adolf Hitler鈥� 鈥� together with his new bride, Eva Braun 鈥� 鈥渃ommitted suicide by gunshot in his underground bunker on April 30, 1945.鈥� After that, according to mainstream historical accounts, the bodies were dragged outside, drenched with gasoline, and set aflame.

According to Corsi, those things never happened. Why does he doubt? 鈥淪urely if Hitler and Eva Braun had committed suicide, someone would have taken a photograph.鈥�

鈥淪urely鈥� nothing. The last days of the Third Reich were chaotic, with an enfeebled, paranoid Hitler directing nonexistent troops to engage in impossible battles, while his underlings variously panicked, fled, committed suicide, or worked desperately to destroy evidence of the regime鈥檚 crimes. It is not at all inconceivable that, amidst this chaos, no one was able to adequately document Hitler鈥檚 demise.

But according to Corsi, the fact that we don鈥檛 know precise details, such as whether the F眉hrer pulled the trigger with one thumb or two and whether Eva Braun was seated to his right or his left when she died (yes, he really specifies those as reasons for skepticism), means we really don鈥檛 know anything about what happened to Hitler when the Third Reich fell.

Corsi has a whole theory worked out, though: With help from Hitler鈥檚 private secretary Martin Bormann, Argentinian politician Juan Peron, and future CIA director Allen Dulles 鈥� who, Corsi insinuates, was motivated by a sinister internationalist agenda 鈥� Hitler and his bride escaped to Argentina. There, the happy couple they lived out their days in a 6,000-square-foot mansion 鈥渄esigned to echo the distinct feel of Hitler鈥檚 Obersalzberg retreat 鈥� in the Bavarian Alps.鈥�

Corsi鈥檚 belief that Hitler escaped is built on the frailest of factual scaffolding: primarily, a 2009 investigation which cast significant doubt on whether a skull fragment the Russians claimed was Hitler鈥檚 truly belonged to the dead dictator.

It is fairly well established that, after unearthing Hitler鈥檚 charred body in a makeshift grave outside his bunker, Russian military officials spirited the remains away to Moscow, eventually incinerating and scattering most of them while keeping fragments of the bullet-scarred skull as proof. A portion of that version of events was in 2009, when researchers at the University of Connecticut tested the skull fragments and concluded they belonged to a woman between the ages of 20 and 40.

Mainstream historians generally agree that, while the Russians may have incorrectly identified the skull, they did, in fact, find Hitler鈥檚 remains. to the explosion of conspiracy theories that followed the 2009 revelations, respected World War II historian Antony Beevor affirmed that the Allied investigation of Hitler鈥檚 suicide was 鈥渕eticulous.鈥� Beevor wrote that among other things, Hitler鈥檚 dentist positively identified the jaw the Russians found as the dead dictator鈥檚. Even if the Russians accidentally picked up and preserved a skull that belonged to a woman (not an outlandish idea given the chaos and many dead bodies they encountered in Berlin in the war鈥檚 immediate aftermath), the jaw they found pretty definitively belonged to Hitler.

Discussing the exhaustive eyewitness interviews conducted by Russians and others after the war, Beevor concluded: 鈥淭here were no major discrepancies in any of the accounts, so suggestions that Hitler did not commit suicide and had escaped from Berlin represent nothing but gratuitous sensationalism. It is just another attempt to exploit the nightmare conspiracy theory that the source of unparalleled evil lived on somewhere, in secret.鈥�

Where there鈥檚 gratuitous sensationalism and political conspiracy theories, all too often, there鈥檚 also Jerome Corsi.

Since he first achieved celebrity by then-Democratic candidate for president John Kerry with 2004鈥檚 Unfit for Command: Swift Boat Veterans Speak Out Against John Kerry,鈥� Corsi has become a one-man conspiracy factory. In 2007鈥檚 The Late, Great USA: NAFTA, the North American Union, and the Threat of a Coming Merger with Mexico and Canada,鈥� he that a 鈥渟hadow government鈥� harbors dark plans to launch 鈥渁n executive branch coup d鈥檈tat鈥� and merge the United States, Canada, and Mexico into a single country. Two years later, in America For Sale: Fighting the New World Order, Surviving a Global Depression, and Preserving USA Sovereignty, he a fantastical 鈥済lobalist political agenda鈥� that would 鈥渆rase鈥� national borders, undermine the dollar, and destroy America.

Since 2008, Corsi has trained the bulk of his attention on America鈥檚 first black president, churning out a variety of 鈥渂irther鈥� conspiracy theories which peaked with 2011鈥檚 disastrous Where鈥檚 the Birth Certificate? The Case That Barack Obama is Not Eligible to be President,鈥� released weeks after Obama finally caved to public pressure and produced his so-called 鈥渓ong-form鈥� birth certificate for all to see. Down but not out, Corsi has more recently that the president鈥檚 father may in fact have been American communist Frank Marshall Davis, and/or that Obama is .

As a work of fantasy, Hunting Hitler would have benefitted from some of the creative energy Corsi has poured into his anti-Obama efforts 鈥� for when it comes to fiction about where the Nazis ended up after the war, he has a lot of very imaginative competition.

According to , a Nazi-obsessed website dedicated to exploring the 鈥減olitical implications of extraterrestrial life,鈥� what appear to be satellite images of natural caverns on Antarctica may in fact be entrances to underground UFO bases. If so, 鈥渢hen it would appear that claims that UFOs have bases in Antarctica, and may have even helped fleeing World War II Nazis escape a punitive U.S. Naval expedition, are not so far-fetched after all.鈥�

Meanwhile, the good people at state that Nazis landed on the moon in 1942, established an underground base (though it鈥檚 unclear why this was necessary, as, according to Greyfalcon鈥檚 research, the moon鈥檚 breathable atmosphere and plant life obviate the need for spacesuits), and eventually hosted Americans and Russians who landed there in the 1950s. 鈥淎fter the end of the war in May 1945, the Germans continued their space effort from their south polar colony of Neu Schwabenland.鈥�

Or if that鈥檚 not what happened (though Greyfalcon does claim to have proved it), perhaps the website is correct in suggesting that the Thule and Vril are secret societies who together with 鈥淪upriem Rockefeller鈥� used Hitler to bring about the United Nations and force the Jews to migrate to Israel, and later spirited the F眉hrer to another planet aboard a flying disc once he had served his purpose on earth.

Could be. All is possible with UFOs. I want to believe.

Corsi, sadly, is a little more restrained in his analysis, ending his book with a poorly copy-edited warning: 鈥淭oday, a convincing argument can be made that the Fourth Reich is arising today in the United States and Europe.鈥�

Spymaster Allen Dulles, according to Corsi, 鈥減erceived 鈥� that the twentieth century was shaping into a conflict not between capitalism and communism, but between national socialism and communism.鈥� Due to the expansion of America鈥檚 federal government, 鈥淸i]n a real sense, we have become the modern-day national socialists.鈥�

Untroubled by the fact that national socialists and fascists considered national sovereignty to be of paramount, even exclusive, importance, and were concerned above all else with the survival, integrity, and supremacy of the state, Corsi argues: 鈥淭hrough the same route of deceitful trade agreements that formed the World Trade Organization and NAFTA, the United States has championed international organizations, beginning with the United Nations and continuing with the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank, that threaten to end US sovereignty once and for all. The Constitution for which tens of thousands of patriotic and brave men and women fought Germany in two twentieth century wars is being eroded today as internationalists of both the Republican and Democratic Parties look to enrich themselves in a global economy that favors Germany in the West and China in the East.鈥�

Corsi ends his 133-page thesis with a nonsensical analogy: 鈥淛ust as Hitler was allowed to escape Berlin and permitted to enter Argentina by submarine, national socialism has thrived in what is arguably the Fourth Reich that we ourselves have unwittingly become.鈥�

鈥淎rguably鈥� since he鈥檚 arguing it, we guess. But personally, we prefer the UFO/subterranean Antarctic base/moon theories.
