Former tennis star Boris Becker has regretted an internet comment on a conspiracy myth about Adolf Hitler as a misunderstanding. When asked by the German press agency, he did not want to adopt the tweet he commented on, his lawyer said at the request of the German Press Agency. On the contrary, he wanted to express his surprise, “because then everything he ever learned about Adolf Hitler’s death in all films would be wrong”. Becker had shared the post of another user late Wednesday evening. This contains the false claim that the Nazi dictator was in South America after the Second World War. This commented Becker in English with the words: “Wow … What is wrong with all the films that say that Hitler died in Germany & Austria …” (“Wow … What’s Wrong With all the movies that Claimed Hitler Died in Germany & Austria …”). The finding of the historian is clear: Hitler died in Berlin in 1945. “As far as his tweet was misunderstood, he regrets this and therefore immediately deleted it,” emphasized the 57-year-old lawyer. Becker’s post was deleted on Thursday afternoon. As a supposed document, reference is made to documents from the US secret service CIA published in 2017. However, this only shows that a former member of the SS is said to have claimed in the 1950s that Hitler was in Colombia and later in Argentina after the World War. However, this statement was never proven by other sources, which is why the secret service gave her no faith at the time, and there are a number of National Socialists who were in Argentina after the war, but Hitler was not among them. He died on April 30, 1945 in the bunker under the Reich Chancellery in Berlin, and his burned body was found by witnesses. French scientists examined a dentition kept in Moscow in 2017 and came to the conclusion that these were the remains of Hitler.
