Adolf Hitler And The Third Reich: The Top 10 Conspiracy Theories

According to a new book Grey Wolf: The Escape Of Adolf Hitler, Hitler did not commit suicide in Berlin in 1945, but actually ended his days in Argentina in 1962. Just one of many intriguing stories that still exist about the Third Reich.

1) Hitler Died In Argentina
The latest rumour to be circulating is that Nazi leader Adolf Hitler did not commit suicide in Berlin in 1945, but actually ended his days in Argentina.
According to British journalist Gerrard Williams and Simon Dunstan in their new book Grey Wolf: The Escape Of Adolf Hitler, they claim they have discovered overwhelming amount of evidence “to suggest Hitler died an old man in South America.”
The new book claims that Hitler lived in Argentina for 17 years and could have been raised two daughters before he died in 1962.
They also claim that the Hitler skull fragments which are previously used to confirm his death of a gunshot wound to the head are actually that of a young woman.

“We didn’t want to re-write history, but the evidence we’ve discovered about the escape of Adolf Hitler is just too overwhelming to ignore,” Williams told Sky News.
“Stalin, Eisenhower and Hoover of the FBI all knew there was no proof of him dying in the bunker,” Williams added.
2) Hitler Only Had One Testicle (With The Other Residing In The Albert Hall)
Possibly the most famous of all the myths about the Nazi leader, that even had its own theme song to accompany it that still gets sung by school children today.
As recently as 2008, there were still claims that proved this theory to be correct, with reports that Hitler may have lost a testicle during the Battle of Somme in 1916, according to a German army medic who saved the life during the First World War.
While many will certainly hope for this persistent rumour to be true, also there are no actually records to suggest as such. Hitler’s physician Dr Theodor Morell, who would have known every inch of the leader’s body, certainly made no mention of it and nor do any subsequent medical records.
3) Hitler Was Possessed By The Devil
This rumour comes straight from the Vatican Church, with claims that released wartime pontiff Pope Pius XII attempted a “long distance” exorcism of Hitler which failed to have any effect.
Father Gabriele Amorth, who is the Vatican’s chief exorcist, made the comments during an interview with Vatican Radio in 2006. He also claimed that Stalin too was also possessed by the Devil.
“I am convinced that the Nazis were all possessed. All you have to do is think about what Hitler – and Stalin did. Almost certainly they were possessed by the Devil,” said Amorth.
“You can tell by their behaviour and their actions, from the horrors they committed and the atrocities that were committed on their orders. That’s why we need to defend society from demons.
“I have no doubt that Hitler was possessed and so it does not surprise me that Pope Pius XII tried a long distance exorcism.”
Amorth has also spoken out against the Harry Potter series of books, suggesting that the novels open children’s minds to a world of black and the occult.
4) Nazis Had A Secret Moon Base
Almost as popular as the myth that the Americans staged the moon landing in 1969, a quick look through the stranger side of the internet will also tell you that not only did the Nazis had a moon base on the dark side of the moon, but they were up there as early as 1942.
If you believe everything you read on blogs, then the Nazi party undoubtedly utilized “larger exoatmospheric rocket saucers of the Miethe and Schriever type” to land on the moon and even offered the base to the Americans and Russians when they secretly joint-landed on the moon in the 1950s.
This had led to even more suggestions that the Nazis have been controlling our tides since the 1950s and that high powered Nazi lasers can also be deployed to strike land based targets.
A new comedy film called Iron Sky is set to be released which plays on the idea that the Nazis have a secret moon based and are set to return to Earth in 2018.

Hitler was using New Swabia, the German-claimed portion of Antarctica, to communicate with Hyperboreans, ethereal beings who he claimed were the ancestors of the Aryan race.

5) Nazi’s Built Fully Functioning UFO From Alien Technology
Many science fiction books, comic books and just plain old conspiracy theories frequently claim that the Nazis built UFOs and currently survive in secret underground bases in Antarctica, South America or the United States, along with their creators
According to the reports, the Nazis destroyed all the paperwork connected with the secret machines, but suggest that they used a form of anti-gravity where able to travel at 2000 km per hour, with Hitler’s main plan to launch a UFO attack on both London and New York.
The theory is further fuelled by the claims of Igor Witkowski,, who claims in his book ‘Prawda O Wunderwaffe’ that a bell-shaped craft was being created by the Nazis and that Hitler wanted the best scientists and engineers at his disposal.
There are also a selection number photographs and eyewitness accounts that apparently offer ‘definitive proof’ that the Nazis were indeed building flying saucers during World War Two.
6) Nazis Tried to Turn Sand Into Gold
This one falls under the section of rumours mill that is actually a little believable, as self-taught alchemist Karl Malchus convinced Heinrich Himmler that he was able to make gold from stones and sand.
This is all according to Helmut Werner, author of Hltler’s Alchemists: The Secret Attempts to Manufacture Gold in Dachau.
“Of course, it was all a huge swindle,” said Werner.
After a short while, Heinrich Himmler stopped attempting to produce gold in this way and Karl Malchus was incarcerated in Dachau. After Malchus was eventually released, he was told that if he attempted to tell anyone about his alchemy con, the Nazis would kill him.
7) Hitler Had A Base In The Antarctic
According to a paper in Polar Record, and a few other conspiracy theory websites here and there, the Nazis built a secret base in Antarctica in which they hid Hitler towards the end of the war and fought of British and US planes using those flying saucers we know so much about.
The US eventually destroyed the base with nuclear weapons, but various governments striving to conceal this.
There are a few facts here and there to justify these claims: There was a German expedition to Antarctica in 1938-39. There was classified British military activity in Antarctica during the war and there was indeed a nuclear explosion in 1958 carried out by the US’ Operation Highjump that was meant to be a secret but got out, but there is no other proof to justify the other suggestions of a secret Nazi base on the icy continent
8) Hitler Was An Avatar Of The Hindu God Vishnu
Yet another myth that connects the Nazis to the occult, this one comes from the 1978 book The Golden Band, in which Miguel Serrano makes the claim that Hitler is in fact an avatar of the Hindu God Vishnu and came to Earth to establish an ultimate Aryan race.
The Golden Band also alleged that Hitler was using New Swabia, the German-claimed portion of Antarctica, to communicate with Hyperboreans, ethereal beings who he claimed were the ancestors of the Aryan race.
This rumour also links nicely to previous myths, as Serrano then goes on to claim that the Nazis used their communications to develop a range of UFOs, which Hitler would have one day used to give him ultimate power.
9) Nazi Gold Buried In Lake Toplitz…
There are many different myths and rumours as to the whereabouts of mullion, possibly billions, of pounds of Nazi gold are buried. One that appears to do the rounds more than others is the suggestion that vast quantities of Nazi Gold are buried in Lake Toplitz high up in the Austrian Alps, 60 miles from Salzburg city in western Austria.
It has also been reported that after the war, former SS members employed divers to try and locate the gold, as well as a number of sealed tubes that were said to contain the details of secret Nazi bank accounts in Switzerland.
The rumours have got so persistent that it is now illegal for divers to attempt to search for the hidden treasure themselves, as around attempt to uncover the secret treasure.
10) …And Nazi Gold Buried In Auckland Island
Another rumour of secret Nazi gold that has appeared to come out of absolute nowhere. The story of a Nazi U-boat burying Nazi gold in the tiny, uninhabited Auckland Island, which lies a few hundred miles of the coast of New Zealand.
Despite there been no evidence of this event ever happening, people still make the long journey to the island in vein attempts to discover the buried Nazi gold.

How to Be Happy

Happiness — it's what we all strive to find and keep, even when it's as elusive as ever. Nobody is happy all the time, but some people are definitely more fulfilled than others. Studies reveal that happiness has little to do with material goods or high achievement; it boils down to your outlook on life, the quality of your relationships, and basic amenities like good governance and community resources. Read on for more tips and tricks on how to unlock the happier you.

Steps

1. 
   
   Do something that you love to do. Hiking, playing an instrument, hanging out with your friends, gardening, reading, volunteering; whatever makes you happy. Find some time for it every week. You will find inner peace.
2. 2
   Adjust your attitude. One third of your life will be fabulous, with no thanks to you. It's just fate. Be grateful for it. One third of life is not good, losses and deaths, also with no thanks to you. Suck it up. The other third is neutral. Kind of usual, life being life. Here's your chance. Attitude makes it fabulous or disappointing––which outlook do you prefer?
3. 3
   Be optimistic. In the 70s, researchers followed people who'd won the lottery and found that a year afterward, they were no happier than people who didn't. This hedonic adaptation^[1] suggests that we each have a baseline level of happiness. No matter what happens, good or bad, the effect on our happiness is temporary, and we tend to revert to our baseline level. Some people have a higher baseline happiness level than others, and that is due in part to genetics, but it's also largely influenced by how you think.^[2]
   
   
   
   • Add up all the little happy things that happen to you during the day. For example, there was no traffic on the road, you had a nice breakfast, your friend said something funny that made you laugh, you took your dog for a walk in the park and played with it. All of these added together account to one big happiness.
   • Look at the glass half-full instead of half-empty. Your girlfriend break up with you? Now you have a chance to meet someone else! You lose your job? Now you have the opportunity to find a better one! Adjust your mentality so that, in everything that happens to you, there's some kernel of good.
   • Put yourself in situations where good things are likely to happen to you. It's easier to stay optimistic if you set yourself up for success. Cheating on a partner, or stealing a bike — while temporarily thrilling — rarely end well for any party involved. Ask yourself before you act: Am I setting myself up for success or for failure?
   • Think of your current situation (however hard it may be) and then think of how much harder some other people have it. Just be happy that you are not in that worse situation. Learn to enjoy your life!
4. 4
   Follow your gut. In one study, two groups of people were asked to pick a poster to take home. One group was asked to analyze their decision, weighing pros and cons, and the other group was told to listen to their gut. Two weeks later, the group that followed their gut was happier with their posters than the group that analyzed their decisions.^[3] Now, some of our decisions are more crucial than picking out posters, but by the time you're poring over your choice, the options you're weighing are probably very similar, and the difference will only temporarily affect your happiness.
   • Next time you have a decision to make, and you're down to two or three options, just pick the one that feels right, and go with it. Never regret the decisions you make, though. Just live by the 3 C's of life: choices, chances, and changes. You need to make a choice to take a chance, or your life will never change.
5. 5
   Make enough money to meet basic needs: food, shelter, and clothing. In the US, that magic number is $60,000 a year. Any money beyond that will not necessarily make you happier. Remember the lottery winners mentioned earlier? Oodles of money didn't make them happier. Once you make enough to support basic needs, your happiness is not significantly affected by how much money you make, but by your level of optimism.^[4]
   
   
   
   • Your comfort may increase with your salary, but comfort isn't what makes people happy. It makes people bored. That's why it's important to push beyond your comfort zone to fuel personal growth.
6. 6
   Treat your body like it deserves to be happy. It may sound cheesy to say, but your brain isn't the only organ in your body that deserves to be happy. Researchers have found that exercise, healthy diets, and regular sleep are key factors in growing more happy and staying that way.
   
   
   
   • People who are physically active have higher incidences of enthusiasm and excitement.^[5][6] Scientists hypothesize that exercise causes the brain to release chemicals called endorphins that elevate our mood.
   • Eat right. Eating healthy foods — fruits and vegetables, lean meats and proteins, whole grains, nuts, and seeds — gives your body and brain the energy it needs to be healthy. Some scientists speculate that unhealthy diets, especially those rich in processed carbohydrates, sugars, and industrial vegetable fats, is responsible for brain shrinkage and certain brain diseases like depression and dementia.^[7]
   • Get enough sleep. Study after study confirms it: the more sleep you get, the happier you tend to be.^[8][9] Getting just a single extra hour of sleep per night makes the average person happier than making $60,000 more in annual income, astoundingly enough.^[10] So if you're middle-aged, shoot to get at least eight hours of sleep per night; the young and elderly should shoot for 9 to 11 hours of sleep per night.^[11]
7. 7
   Stay close to friends and family: Or move to where they are, so you can see them more. We live in a mobile society, where people follow jobs around the country and sometimes around the world. We do this because we think salary increases make us happier, but in fact our relationships with friends and family have a far greater impact on happiness. So next time you think about relocating, consider that you'd need a salary increase of over $100,000 USD to compensate for the loss of happiness you'd have from moving away from friends and family.^[12]
   
   
   
   • If relationships with family and friends are unhealthy or nonexistent, and you are bent on moving, choose a location where you'll make about the same amount of money as everyone else; according to research, people feel more financially secure (and happier) when on similar financial footing as the people around them, regardless of what that footing is.^[13]
8. 8
   Be compassionate. Compassion is all about doing something kind for someone in need, or someone less privileged than yourself. A brain-imaging study (where scientists peek into people's brains while they act or think) revealed that people gain as much happiness from watching others give to charity as they do receiving money themselves!^[14]
   • Think of easy, quick, and effective ways that you can make your community a better place by being compassionate:
     
     • Tutor, volunteer, or get involved in a church group. Countless children are looking for someone to teach them and act as a role model.
     • Make a microloan. A microloan is when you give someone (usually in the developing world) a very small sum of money for an economic project of their own. Many microloans have 95%+ repayment rates.^[15]
     • Give a person in need food, clothing or shelter. It's so basic we often forget to think about it, yet so easy to do.
9. 9
   Have deep, meaningful conversations. A study by a psychologist at the University of Arizona has shown that spending less time participating in small talk and more time in deep, meaningful conversations can increase happiness. ^[16] So next time you're beating around the bush with a friend, instead cut right to the chase. You'll be happier for it.
   
   
   
10. 10
    Find happiness in the job you have now: Many people expect the right job or career to dramatically change their level of happiness. But research makes it clear that your levels of optimism and quality of relationships eclipse the satisfaction gained from your job.^[17]
    • If you have a positive outlook, you will make the best of any job; and if you have good relationships, you won't depend on your job for a sense of meaning. You'll find meaning in interactions with the people you care about. You'll use your job as a crutch instead of relying on it for meaning.
    • This is not to say you shouldn't aspire to get a job that will make you happier; many people find that being on the right career path is a key determination in their overall happiness. It just means you should understand that the capacity of your job to make you happy is quite small when compared to your outlook and your relationships.
11. 11
    Smile: Science suggests that when you smile, whether you're happy or not, your mood is elevated. ^[18][19] So smile all the time if you can! Smiling is like a feedback loop: smiling reinforces happiness, just as happiness causes smiling. People who smile during painful procedures reported less pain than those who kept their facial features neutral.^[19]
    
    
    
12. 12
    Forgive: In a study of college students, an attitude of forgiveness contributed to better cardiovascular health. You could say forgiveness literally heals the heart. While it is unknown how forgiveness directly affects your heart, the study suggests that it may lower the perception of stress.^[20]
    
    
    
13. 13
    Make friends. In a 2010 study published by Harvard researchers in American Sociological Review, people who went to church regularly reported greater life satisfaction than those who didn't. The critical factor was the quality of friendships made in church. Church-goers who lacked close friends there were no happier than people who never went to church. When researchers compared people who had the same number of close friends, those who had close friends from church were more satisfied with their lives.^[21]
    • The difference is the forming of friendships based on mutual interests and beliefs. So if church is not your thing, consider finding something else you're deeply passionate about, making friends with those who share similar interests.
    • When you interact with people who share your interests, you feel happier due to sensations of reward and well-being. This is because during such interactions, endorphin and dopamine — neurotransmitters responsible for feelings of happiness and relaxation — are released into the body. In other words, your body is designed to feel happier when engaged in social interactions.^[

The Secret Doctrine by H.P. Blavatsky

The Secret Doctrine by H.P. Blavatsky is a double-volume work consisiting of the two books: Cosmogenesis and Antrhopogenesis. They where published in 1888 and Blavatsky claimed that the contents had been revealed to her by ‘mahatmas’ who had retained knowledge of mankind’s spiritual history, knowledge that it was now possible, in part, to reveal. The first part of the book explained the origin and evolution of the universe itself. The world and everything in it is supposed to alternate between periods of activity (manvantaras) and periods of passivity (pralayas). Each manvantara lasts many millions of years and consists of a number of Yugas, in accordance with Hindu cosmology. Blavatsky wanted to publish a third and fourth volume of The Secret Doctrine. After Blavatsky’s death, a controversial third volume of The Secret Doctrine was published by Annie Besant.
