The Death of Hitler: THE COMPLETE SERIES
The fate of Hitler is one of the most infamous subjects in history - but the investigation of the nation that was best placed to find out, the USSR, is often ignored or dismissed in the West. This series examines what the Soviets found, both at the bunker and Reich Chancellery, and also the medical examination of the purported bodies of Hitler and Eva Braun. Kept secret until 1968, the Soviet files reveal many strange anomalies that challenge the established story of the ultimate fates of Hitler and his wife. I also propose a very interesting, but overlooked, theory that explains what happened to the real Hitler and Eva.

Grand Theft Otto - Skorzeny & 'The Spider' Network
Otto Skorzeny was Hitler's commando extraordinaire - a man who pulled off some of the most daring raids of WWII. His life postwar was equally intriguing, becoming an international arms dealer and military advisor. However, many don't know that he founded a shadowy organisation called 'Die Spinne' or 'The Spider' in 1948 devoted to helping SS men to escape from justice. It was financed by a huge amount of cash that Skorzeny had received at war's due to an SS raid on the Reichsbank in embattled Berlin. Incidentally, can't take the credit for the fantastic title - that goes to 'MrCrumpets368' from 3 years ago!

Who Awarded Winston Churchill WW2 Campaign Medals?
British Prime Minister Winston Churchill rightfully received a deluge of awards from Britain and other countries following WWII, including, perhaps less rightfully, no fewer than six British campaign stars and medals. Research shows that Churchill did not meet the award criteria for any of the six WWII medals, so how did he obtain them? Was Britain's most famous leader guilty of the modern misdemeanour called "Stolen Valour"?
