Despite the evidence indicating that Hitler committed suicide in Berlin in 1945, numerous stories have sprung up since World War II, placing Hitler in the Amazon, in a fortress in the Antarctic, and in many other locales. Author McKale looks at all the legends that have arisen since Hitler's death; he examines how these myths have been used politically during the Cold War, and how Hitler's survival has been depicted in popular culture. McKale explores what these myths say about us and the way we view history. At the core of these legends, says McKale, is the frustrating idea that Hitler escaped judgement and justice.
