Herman Gunthenberg as Hitler

Herman Guntherberg, an old man from Salta in Argentina claims that he’s the Nazi dictator, Adolf Hitler, and that he spent the last 70 years in hiding. In an interview with the ultra-conservative newspaper  El Patriota, the naturalized German immigrant explains that he arrived in the country in 1945 with a passport identifying him Herman Guntherberg.

The "theory"
In an interview with the Spanish newspaper " El Patriota", the naturalized German immigrant explains that he arrived in the country in 1945 with a passport identifying him Herman Guntherberg. The fact that Hitler's corpse was never found, and the theories of his survival and South American nazis, it's really difficult to understand, to verify and it brings very doubts.

What Herman says
During the interview, he said:

"I’ve been depicted as a bad guy only because we lost the war. When people read my side of the story, it will change the way the perceive me; I’ve been blamed for a lot of crimes that I’ve never committed. Because of that, I’ve had to spend more than half of my life hiding from Jews, so I’ve had my punishment already..."

Even if he claims he's Adolf Hitler, his wife says: "Sometimes, he would forget who I was and where he was. He looked like he was in trance, and he would start talking about Jews and demons. Then he’d come back to normal...". She also believes her husband may possibly have been a Nazi and that he may feel guilty about his past, but she’s convinced he’s not Hitler.

Even if the elderly man’s claim seem rather questionable, they have sparked an animated debate in Israel and in the American Jewish community concerning the future of surviving Nazi war criminals.

Mossad had proved its ambition and global reach in the past with the capture of Nazi war criminal Adolf Eichmann in 1960 in Argentina, but it has abandoned this mission over recent years.

The Wiesenthal Center, which is still trying to find and prosecute Nazi criminals, has publicly criticized Israel in March, saying the Jewish state was ‘barely cooperating’ to its mission.

The comparison
He was a Nazi in the past, as his wife says. He claims to be Adolf Hitler, for unknown purposes, while his wife does not agree.

However, if you check a picture of Herman and Hitler, you will find similarities in their facial features and their skull shape is the same even his ear bone look alike. We should not forget the birth date, which he claims is the same. But if he shares the same birth date as Hitler, he will be the oldest person ever, which makes it highly unlikely, that he was born in 1889.
