Hitler may have murdered his niece, new evidence suggests
Newly found records suggest the body was discovered a day earlier than official accounts said, raising questions about whether police protected Hitler’s alibi.
- On September 24, historian Harald Sandner reported that Munich archive documents place Geli Raubal's body discovery on September 18, 1931, contradicting the official account and challenging Nazi leader Adolf Hitler's Nuremberg alibi.
- According to the official account, servant Georg Winter discovered the 23-year-old Raubal's body on September 19, 1931, in Hitler's Munich apartment, and the death was officially ruled a suicide involving his pistol.
- Newspaper reports from 1931 alleged Hitler and Raubal argued intensely over her desire to move to Vienna, with claims that injuries were found on her body fueling speculation about Nazi involvement in her death.
- Sandner stated the date discrepancies may indicate police falsification of records to protect Hitler's political standing, though he cautioned there is no decisive proof of a cover-up.
- The discovery has prompted renewed scrutiny of the 1931 case, underscoring challenges in verifying historical events when period records may have been altered to protect political figures.
