10 Weird Conspiracy Theories About Hitler's Death

5. Hitler Fled To Spain And Was Taken In By General Franco

This particularly elaborate theory suggests that Adolf Hitler managed to board a a plane before the Russians descended on Berlin, and then decided that his best shot at living out the rest of his days in one piece were probably in Spain.

Upon arrival, the theory proposes that Hitler was taken in by none other than Francisco Franco - yes, General Franco - where he was put up as a guest at the Spanish Caudillo's fortress and lived there in peace until he died of a heart attack a couple of years later.

This theory came about based on reports from a driver who was apparently sent to meet a German plane at Madrid airport on April 30, 1945. The man inside the plane had "no luggage" and was taken directly to Franco's palace. A month later, an area of the fortress was sealed off with no explanation, leading many to believe that Hitler was staying there.

This one has all the makings of a wonderfully creative sitcom, doesn't it?
