CIA probed whether Hitler was alive in Colombia in 1954, files show

    Declassified CIA report details claims about a man claiming to be Hitler living in Colombia in the 1950s
    Phillip Citroen, a former SS officer, told agents a man called Adolf Schuttlemayer was living in the town of Tunja, 85 miles north of Bogota, among a group of former Nazis in 1954
    Citroen said the men called Schuttlemayer The Fuhrer, gave him Nazi salutes and 'afforded him storm-trooper adulation'
    He even provided a photograph showing a man with a strong likeness of Hitler
    Citroen said Hitler left Colombia in January 1955 and moved to Argentina

The CIA was told about a man claiming to be Adolf Hitler who lived in Colombia among a community of ex-Nazis during the Fifties, declassified documents reveal.

Agents did not take the claim made by a former SS soldier seriously, however the station chief in Caracas did forward the claims to superiors complete with a photo.

The story isn't a joke or hoax. I still need to fully read the articles. Not sure if this was posted. Some of this, they found out via the JFK files or rather per the release of old CIA documents.

Other articles, it is not just the Daily Mail:

The Israelis got Eichmann but not Hitler? Someone must have been asleep at the...switch.
