10 Weird Conspiracy Theories About Hitler's Death

8. Hitler Boarded A Rocket And Fled To The Moon

Imagine you're the most wanted man on Earth - not to mention the most hated. After laying waste to Europe and committing countless crimes against the human race, there's really probably only one place left for you, according to this wacky theory: the Moon.

Yes, this is a genuine conspiracy theory that purports that Adolf Hitler fled Germany as the war ended and lived out the rest of his days quite happily on that big, glowing orb in the sky. This theory is apparently made plausible by way of another theory - one which assumes that Germany, what with their advanced weapons technologies such as the V2 rocket - had already won the space race in 1942. Take that, America and Russia!

Imagine, then, that Hitler escaped from Germany, climbed into a rocket, arrived on the Moon in one piece, before settling down to his new life in an underground lunar base. Just to add another far-out shade to this theory, it also suggests that the Nazis made contact with UFOs. You know, because Hitler on the Moon wasn't deemed outlandish enough.
