Maybe you should start an Alternate history thread.

Throw in alternate archaeology with some dino footprints next to early man prints, giant bones, and hammers in million year old rock, maybe a cave painting of Jesus riding a Plesiosaurus during the great flood and I think you got the makings of a memorable thread.

I take it you don't deem the CIA searching around south America for Adolph H. as anything relevant at all eh?

Oh I'm as certain that people made up wild ass stories as I am that some low level operative had to follow them to their inevitable conclusion, as happens in any police investigation, so with the CIA. Do I believe every might and maybe simply because they are uttered? No. Ava Von Braun was burned as well so that would account for female DNA. Keeping someone hidden for decades would make a good movie perhaps, but is highly unlikely.

What the CIA was investigating was pretty much Soviet disinfo. Russian intelligence operations immediately started spreading several different versions of the death as well as stories that Hitler was alive and living in Spain, somewhere in South America, being sheltered by the Allied Powers, etc. It was very simple -- Hitler (and Nazism) being alive and, more crucially, on the other side of the Iron Curtain, the enemy's side, was ideologically beneficial for the Soviets.
CIA did all kinds of other stupid shit, such as trying to investigate paranormal powers that Soviets claimed they had discovered. It is not a trustworthy or a credible organisation at the best of times.
In any case, the one direct proof we do have, the dental remains in Soviet archives, are pretty much a perfect match with the x-rays taken of Hitler's teeth during the war.
