 Hitler is Probably Dead By Now Admit Conspiracy Theorists   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-19)
While most historical sources cite Hitler's death to a suicide in 1945 during the last days of the war, rumors he is still alive have spread around conspiracy circles for years.

According to another theorist, calling himself "Carl" and using a modulator to disguise his voice, there is the other, more likely possibility that Hitler's clone is alive and well but still just a teenager.
