Sloppy as hell. While never claiming to have unearthed Hitler scat, or even search for same, this episode does outline the 'Hitler escaped' scenario with seeming sympathy.
For the most part, however, it does not offer any documentary evidence either way. Instead it focuses on talking heads, each of which claim their viewpoint is the only logical conclusion: like, if you were Hitler, wouldn't you have run? And had multiple plans to do so?
Not really - Hitler was a worn-out drug addict who spent his last days spewing out fantasies until reality could no longer be ignored and who simply lacked the energy to initiate any form of flight, even if it had been possible.
Martin Bormann proved this when he tried on May 1, 1945 and wound up dead.
Which is where the word sloppy really emerges to describe this episode: it never mentions Bormann's death. Instead, on several occasions, it states that Bormann and Hitler escaped together, using 'secret tunnels' accessing the Berlin underground.
In reality, Bormann tried a ground-level route that didn't work out too well.
There are other examples of whacked-out history such as the children Hitler and Eva Braun produced (Huh?).
In short, it adds nothing to either side of the argument: nothing but unexamined maybes and buts and probably nots.
