Засекреченный допрос личного пилота фюрера

In May 1945, the Soviet counterintelligence service SMERSH searched for witnesses to Adolf Hitler's final hours in the Berlin bunker. Among the most valuable captives was Hans Baur, the Führer's personal pilot, a man who had known his routes, planes, airfields, and realistic escape routes for years. Could Hitler have escaped Berlin? Was there a secret plane? Did the Nazi leadership have a backup evacuation plan? Or was the legend of the Führer's escape merely a postwar myth, sustained for decades by rumor, fear, and secrecy? In this episode, we will explore the story of Hans Baur: his journey from a combat pilot in World War I to Hitler's chief pilot, his final days in the bunker, his attempted breakout from Berlin, his captivity, Butyrka prison, SMERSH interrogations, and classified materials that helped us understand what happened at the very end of the Third Reich. This is not a story about a beautiful legend, but about a man who might have known the main answer: did Hitler have a path to salvation – or was the sky over Berlin already closed forever?
