Hitler sought sanctuary in Japan? (http://mdn.mainichi-msn.co.jp/waiwai/news/20050804p2g00m0dm009000c.html)
This should be taken with a grain of salt, considering it's tabloid source. But, what would have happened if it had happened?

He would have been blown up by the nuclear bombs and/or caught and tried, and probably sentenced to death and/or killed himself. :p

Simple. When the war ended, any Nazis in Japan would have been turned over to US forces for trial. If Hitler had lived and come in to US custody, he would have been shipped to Nuremburg for trial. His likely sentence would have been death.
So all that would have happened is that some of the Nazi leadership might have lived a few extra months.

Yeah, considering that we won that war too, I would say that it probably wouldn't have changed that much. And getting Hitler out of Germany in 1945 would have been extremely difficult. If you went through that trouble, the best hiding place would be a country not involved in the war where there were a large number of nazi sympathizers, a la Argentina, which just so happens to have been a popular hiding place for nazis on the run.

What a load of crap, everyone whose anyone that knows things, is aware that the Nazi's spirited Hitler's severed (and still living) head off to Mandoras. This was all part of a sinister plan that included (as all good plans must) equal parts Blues Brothers and G-Gas (The G stands for GREAT!). Quite unfortunately for them, Walter Stocker overcame Hitler's head (and a numebr of incompetent Nazis) with hand grenades that not even the Hitlermobile could overcome. This melted Hitler's head (Because flesh melts when exposed to hand grenades) and saved the world yet again.
Yes, this may well be some sort of bad Joke.

A grain? More like a whole shaker...
Or a whole salt mine, even?
Still, it has the makings for a nice little conspiracy theory... ;)
:headbang: Sometimes I REALLY wonder where the Japanese weeklies get their story ideas.
