Well, I could alternatively have moved it to General Debunking or Pseudoscience, but the decision was made to move it to Conspiracy Theories, because to say that Hitler might have escaped to Argentina implies that several persons "in the know" have lied and given false testimony multiple times, have actively helped Hitler do go under cover and leave Berlin, which was at the time surrounded and partly occupied by a massive part of the Red Army, etc. pp. In short, it would have demanded a concerted, secret effort of many people to not only spirit Hitler away, but to keep him hidden for several decades. And this in a time where not only the Mossad was busy hunting down Ex-Nazis. In short, it requires a conspiracy.
Now, that you mention it, however, the topic might be better suited for "Pseudoscience", because that's what it is. In short, it's fine either here or in Pseudoscience, but it sure as hell isn't going back to "History".

Also, please note that I ask everyone to not discuss moderation further in this thread. If there are further questions you can PM me, or open a thread in Feedback.
