Times The History Channel Lied To You

Old timers might remember the History Channel as a stream of World War II documentaries, but a lot has changed since then. The new History is a cranky old conspiracy theorist who secretly binges reality shows. Here are some of the times the History Channel lied to you.

In 1945, Adolf Hitler took his own life in his underground bunker. That's reality. Conspiracy theories about how he might've escaped aren't just wrong, but deeply offensive. Unfortunately, back in 2014, people got riled up when the FBI declassified documents reporting on the possibility that Hitler had actually run away to South America, shaved his mustache, and assumed a new identity.

Here's the thing: FBI reports don't mean something really happened, because the FBI has to document everything, no matter how stupid it is. So every time a lunatic or attention seeker claimed to see Hitler, the FBI wrote it down - that's their job. As Skeptoid points out, they have been forced to document all kinds of nonsensical falsehoods.

Then in 2015, according to Variety, the History Channel basically gave real history the middle finger. The reality show Hunting Hitler, apparently an effort to finally settle the matter with a crack team of investigators, was really nothing more than a ratings ploy. The series showed the team go to Argentina and investigate false leads which proved nothing whatsoever… because, well, no genuine evidence exists. Aside from trivializing the subject matter, Hunting Hitler also trivialized reality.
