Hunting Hitler is a History Channel television series based on the theory that Adolf Hitler escaped from the Führerbunker in Berlin at the end of World War II. The show was conceived due to the declassification of Federal Bureau of Investigation documents from 1947 that showed the bureau was concerned over the lack of a body after Hitler's death. The second season expanded the sources for research to declassified documentation from CIA, MI6, and Argentinian, Russian and Germany authorities. A third season aired on January 2, 2018.
The show has been criticized by Variety Magazine for "capitalizing on the American public's fascination with Hitler to produce a show based on a theory, while providing no evidence to substantiate the theory."
In Season Two evidence for further research was expanded beyond the declassified FBI documentation used in the first season to declassified documentation from the CIA, MI6, and Argentinian, Russian and Germany authorities.
