Also worth mentioning is that Hitler's health by the last days was so terrible that any sort of serious escape would have been exceptionally difficult. If even the clever, very capable and well organized Heinrich Himmler, with a face that was hardly memorable at the time couldn't successfully pull off an escape It strains the imagination believing that the nearly crippled Hitler, with one of the world's most absolutely famous faces could have gotten away without a single piece of evidence ever appearing to back up this idea. After the war, many Nazis that got away were tracked down. They sometimes couldn't be captured but at least certain intelligence agencies or groups knew where they'd hidden (looking at you Mossad). Yet somehow Hitler himself just vanished, assuming you don't believe the much more plausible official story. edit: The Gestapo Muller case is indeed interesting. That guy truly did just vanish into thin air, and aside from being a barely famous face, he had an extremely common name. His position would have definitely allowed him to prepare a truly deep disappearing act and his lack of ideology too. On the other hand, people thought similar about Martin Borman, Hitler's personal secretary and Party secretary, for decades, until DNA testing of remains found close to where the Nazi chancellery in Berlin had been proved that he'd died in the city while fleeing, only hours after leaving the bunker.
