10 Weird Conspiracy Theories About Hitler's Death

6. Hitler Escaped Through A Secret Tunnel & Disappeared Underground Forever

Another theory proposes that Hitler did not end up as a pile of charred ashes in a Berlin courtyard, and - instead - managed to escape his Fuhrerbunker through a secret tunnel. This tunnel, rather conveniently, led him to a waiting airship, which the dictator then used to fly all the way to - wait for it - the South Pole.

It was in the South Pole, then, that Hitler supposedly did something truly miraculous: he disappeared into the "hollow Earth," where he subsequently lived out the rest of his days.

If that sounds nuts, this theory came about on account of the fact that many German scientists genuinely believed the Earth to be hollow at the time - and there are still conspiracy theorists who believe such a thing is true today. The Nazis even set about on several expeditions to prove it, but never managed to confirm the truth. Wonder why.
