New Documents Cast Doubt on Hitler's Alibi in Niece's Suicide
Historian Harald Sandner and Der Spiegel have discovered previously unknown death declarations in Munich archives that challenge the established account of Geli Raubal's suicide. The documents indicate her body was found on September 18, 1931, at 10:15 AM, contradicting the belief that Adolf Hitler was in Nuremberg at the time. This discrepancy suggests Hitler may have been present with Raubel when she died, undermining his alibi. Sandner proposes that Nazi party members within the Munich police might have tampered with records, noting the absence of an autopsy despite gunshot wounds. While historian Ian Kershaw maintains that Hitler was deeply affected by Raubal's death, these findings raise questions about potential cover-ups regarding the events surrounding her death.
