17: “Hunting Hitler” Broke Norm (Part 5)

In the History Channel’s “Hunting Hitler,” a group of experts embark on a disingenuous investigation into what became of Adolf Hitler. They consult unreliable witnesses. They make something out of nothing. They cherry pick evidence, and occasionally, they outright lie. Throughout the show, they ignore the forensic evidence, eyewitness accounts, and thorough investigations that showed what we already know — that Adolf Hitler died in the effing bunker!

“Hunting Hitler” might become Norm’s villain origin story. The show broke him. It transformed him. He is now… Evil Norm.

Remember, kids, history hoes always cite their sources! For this episode, Norm pulled from:

Joachimsthaler, Anton, and Helmut Bögler. The Last Days of Hitler: The Legends, the Evidence, the Truth. London, New York: Arms and Armour Press ; Distributed in the USA by Sterling Pub. Co., 1996.
