Contrary reports about Adolf Hitler's death

A very similar article to this was created in August, I thought it might be of interest here. -- LCU ActivelyDisinterested ∆transmissions∆ °co-ords° 14:34, 7 December 2022 (UTC)

Most of the regular editors I know of on this page are aware of this other article. Kierzek (talk) 15:39, 7 December 2022 (UTC)

I've nominated that article for deletion as a POV fork. See here. Beyond My Ken (talk) 21:11, 9 December 2022 (UTC)

It's been closed as "delete". Beyond My Ken (talk) 17:19, 14 December 2022 (UTC)

Image in "Evidence" section

Despite what the Commons editor put in the upload details, those initials bear no resemblance to "JFK" (much less support a wikilink to John F. Kennedy). The initials look like "TJM" to me. And of course the source FBI file that the image is taken from is redacted. Schazjmd (talk) 21:07, 24 April 2023 (UTC)

Nor does that source interpret the text as the caption to the image does. I have removed it as OR. Beyond My Ken (talk) 22:48, 24 April 2023 (UTC)

Good catch, gentlemen. I removed this image from another article where it was placed and claiming the same thing. I also checked the cite, and you two are correct. There is nothing that states this note was written by JFK; it is only an OR stretch. Kierzek (talk) 03:53, 25 April 2023 (UTC)

Conspiracy theories...or Survival theories?

Or, Alternative theories. If Hitler was dead, the theories outlined aren't about that. They are about his survival, and would be subsumed under a title:

 Survival theories about Hitler

In any event, the term "Conspiracy" is only pertinent where there is collusion between two or more people to commit an evil or unlawful act. The fact that Hitler was evil does not entail that any plan to spirit him away to South America would be an evil or unlawful act, any more than preparing and bringing his meals to him.

All that said, there remains an alternative theory about Hitler's death undiscussed: that he was dead and buried elsewhere. I won't elaborate on this in the talk page as it is not the purpose of talk pages, but it can be found in various sources. JohndanR (talk) 02:42, 19 September 2023 (UTC)

I do not believe the title of the article should be changed. It states what the article is about, which is the various conspiracy theories and fringe theories as to cover-up as to his death and survival theories. The definition to be used it’s not “conspiracy”, but the definition of conspiracy theories.

See: Oxford English Dictionary (Online ed.). Oxford University states "the theory that an event or phenomenon occurs as a result of a conspiracy between interested parties; spec. a belief that some covert but influential agency (typically political in motivation and oppressive in intent) is responsible for an unexplained event". Kierzek (talk) 15:57, 19 September 2023 (UTC)

Heh, I've never loved this title but there's no compelling reason to change it. The article also defines the premise as a fringe theory that relies on alleged collaboration (i.e. conspiracy). The word "survival" is vague, since Hitler in fact evaded many attempts on his life. Death refers to a particular accepted event (even if its factuality is questioned by some nuisances).

Proven survival would necessitate organizing ~Exaggeration of Adolf Hitler's death. Prose could be repurposed regarding 1) eyewitness accounts, 2) Soviet propaganda, and 3) forensics—novelly covering the development that, somehow freddy returned. UpdateNerd (talk) 04:43, 14 October 2023 (UTC)
