A MYSTERIOUS sunk sub at the bottom of the South Atlantic Ocean has been confirmed as a Nazi World War II U-boat that could have helped Adolf Hitler flee Germany.
Underwater excavations of the vessel began two years ago after it was found more than 80ft down on the seabed off the coast of Quequen, Argentina, sparking wild theories Hitler survived.

Many historians and Nazi hunters believe it was used to evacuate the maniacal dictator and other leading Nazis while Allied troops were conquering Germany.
Now, those theories have been fuelled further after divers positively identified clear signs of the 80-foot-long submarine’s origins.
Nazi-era weapons specialist Fabio Bisciotti, from the Italian Naval League, confirmed it as a U-boat after the most recent dive last month.
Veteran Nazi hunter Abel Basti explained: “The difficulty was always because this submarine is semi-buried up to the deck and destroyed by explosives.
“Then we have to do a very detailed reconstruction task of the pieces that can be observed.
“But the experts clearly identify the corresponding pieces on a German submarine.”
Its turret and periscope are said to be the exact dimensions of those found on captured intact U-boats and manufactured in the same way.
Mysteriously divers also found scrap metal that had been dumped on the wreck in an apparent attempt to thwart the discovery.
The conformation contradicts previous conclusions by the Argentine Commission to Clarify Nazi Activities in Argentina, reports local media.
In the 1990s, it denied the presence of German submarines off the Argentine coast after the war.
But the new investigation, led by the Nazi-hunting Lost Link group, is said to show that German leaders like Hitler could have escaped to South America.
Abel Basti explained: “In my research, most are direct testimonies, that some are uploaded to my YouTube channel and my last book presents photos of Hitler after the war, that is, in exile in South America.”
Basti said that Hitler did not commit suicide in 1945 but died aged 80 in South America travelling around the continent to Chile, Brazil, Bolivia, Colombia and Paraguay.
He said: “He had a life of travel and meetings with his old comrades, with politicians, with the military, with businessmen living as a retiree with high purchasing power, so to speak.
“Because silver was not lacking, so part of his life was dedicated to travelling.”
A further theory comes courtesy of Simoni Renee Guerreiro Dias, who wrote a book called Hitler in Brazil – His Life and His Death.
In it, she makes the mind-blowing suggestion that Hitler not only escaped the bunker and made it to Brazil, but he lived until he was 95 in 1984.
She claims he put down roots there after living in Argentina and Paraguay – and even more amazingly suggests he covered his identity by having a relationship with a black woman.
Inside bizarre theory that Hitler fled Germany
ON APRIL 30, 1945, Adolf Hitler committed suicide by shooting himself in the head.
The maniacal Nazi boss decided to take his own life in the Führerbunker in Berlin after it became clear that Germany would lose the Battle of Berlin.
But in the months and years following his death, however, conspiracy theories circulated over whether or not he actually died – and if he escaped instead.
It all began with the Soviet Union’s decision to seed two contradictory narratives in 1945: that Hitler died by taking cyanide or that he had survived and fled to another country.
Joseph Stalin himself even outright denied Hitler was dead when asked by US President Harry Truman.
It is known some Nazis used hidden escape routes called “ratlines” to flee from Germany as the Third Reich collapsed, with some finding shelter in South America.
Conspiracy theories about Hitler’s death run rampant even some 76 years after he shot himself in the Fuhrerbunker.
Declassified documents unearthed by The Sun Online showed how the UK and US hunted for Hitler for ten years after the end of World War 2 as they feared he was still alive.
Secret documents reveal investigations into claims Hitler had a body double, U-boat sightings in Argentina, and claims that Adolf was photographed alive in Colombia.
One document reported to the FBI in 1947 even described a town called “Casino” near Rio Grande in Brazil which appeared to be “entirely populated” by Germans.
FBI agents interviewed an informant, who claimed to be a former French resistance fighter, who said he saw Hitler and Eva Braun sitting at a resort in the town.
Many notorious Nazis did manage to escape to South America, but it is accepted by history that Hitler and Eva Braun were not among them.
