10 Weird Conspiracy Theories About Hitler's Death

9. Hitler Escaped To Argentina, Settled In Paraguay & Became "Adolf Leipzig"

According to author Simoni Renee Guerreiro Dias, who wrote the book Hitler: His Life and His Death, Hitler did not die from a gunshot of his own making back in 1945 - he actually boarded a U-Boat, went to Argentina, and finally settled down in a small town in Paraguay under the name "Adolf Leipzig." He also married a local woman (pictured above).

The theory doesn't just stop there, though. No, it also claims that Hitler specifically travelled to the area in order to hunt down a large amount of buried treasure using a map that had been provided to him by - wait for it - the Vatican.

Simoni Renee Guerreiro Dias spent two years researching this book, by the way, based on a pre-existing theory that historian Guy Walters described as "2,000 per cent rubbish."

Why, exactly, Hitler opted to use the name "Adolf" upon arriving in South America is anybody's guess - maybe he assumed that the last name the real Hitler would use whilst trying to remain undetected would be "Adolf?" Yes, that must be it.
