With the fall of the Soviet Union, there has been a steady trickle of archival material reaching the west.
This file of photos has just emerged from 1945...…..previously top classified......and perhaps explaining why Stalin
to his dying day believed there had been a cover up by the western allies ...…

the next file shows Der Fuhrer on a remote airstrip in central Castile, posing for a photoshoot with protection from Spanish security forces.
The accompanying file notes that in 1939 Bormann had mothballed some of the Condor Legions Messerschmitt fighters in the event that a rapid evacuation
was needed with fighter cover, flying south and within range of British Gibraltar.
