Grey Wolf - The Escape of Adolf Hitler Audiobook

Lots of disparaging comments on this book. I listened anyway. More inaccuracies than should have been allowed at time of publishing. Perhaps there has been another printing with corrected names and places. Having said that, I did enjoy the book for the most part and the narrator has a soothing voice to listen to. Thank you for posting the book. You are very much appreciated🙂

Thanks for sharing this. I became visually impaired 3 years ago. Audiobooks have the transition easier.

Av been on this for weeks am getting 15 min and falling asleep lol good book

The most interesting part of the book is how it leads into to "Shark Hunters" the physical fact checking documentaries that attach to this book, I also recommend "The last one hundred Days"

I took part of this movie as assistant director. Williams first appeared in Argentina to make a movie with journalist Abel Basti, who had dedicated his life so far to find testimonies on Hitler’s whereabouts after WW2. Williams was attracted by the story, but had no clue about it. The arrangement he made with Basti was clear: he would finance a film and a book, Basti would give his research, his sources and many original material used to write the script. Then they would both appear in the credits. The amount of money spent was unnecessary. Dining every night in the best restaurants and hotels, excessive amount of drinks all the time, the condition of the head of the project was something neither the British or the argentine staff was used to. Most of the filming was made with no script, no direction, no clear use of the time or the resources. The morale in the crew, mostly in the British team, was low, the unsatisfaction with the way the hole thing was going, with many of them wasting time far from home for a film they were sure was going to suck, as it does now it’s published in Youtube. In the end, many of the argentine workers did not get paid. Later we knew that Williams was financing the hole show with money from a Ponzi scheme, Terry Freeman’s, also known as the British Bernie Madoff. The hole thing was a money laundering operation, like Martin Bormann’s. Isn’t it ironic? The lack of respect for Argentinian culture, for the view of Argentinian historians, the view of local people of this film was complete. Williams always talked of the show he was going to put, permanently comparing himself with Mel Brook’s The Producers, with the difference that Brook was no crook. In the end the filming was so bad and the money so badly spent that he had to leave Buenos Aires suddenly and left not only many contracts unpaid, but the agreement with Basti uncompleted. Williams double crossed him and stole his hole research in a book called Grey Wolf, that he published in the UK and in Argentina. The local publishing company lost a demand made by Basti, and the British company had to defend itself in court after the British Journalist Association said that Williams’s book was a rip-off, full of plagiarism. The emails shared by many of the film crew with their thoughts on Williams’s work would be funny if they weren’t an embarrassing, sad true. Basti’s work continued, with many books in the local branches of Random House and Grupo Planeta, mostly in Spanish. Williams put a circus in History Channel with what was left of the work he appropriated and retired himself as a pirate.

Excellent!!! I’ve read the book and watched the “Hunt for Hitler”. Now I’m listening to the audio book. Thxs for sharing.

We all love a conspiracy and a mystery and here the authors have built a great Webb of fact, rumour, insinuation and speculation to provide a very entertaining book which is very well narrated.

Harry Truman was from Missouri not Arkansas. Also Los Alamos is in New Mexico not Nevada. I’m not sure how errors like that make it past the editing stage.

So grateful for your time and effort in uploading this. Best wishes. X

"...were one to do some 'serious' research by both 'follow[ing] the money,' of Allan Dulles and his brother John Foster Dulles, from just prior to, during, and (of course) after WWII, they'd stand a very good chance of finding connections to 'Nazi' gold - as well as some 'other' things...check it out!" dm

Los Alamos is not Nevada but in the State of New Mexico.

Third the way through and though most informative the Title 'Escape of Adolf Hitler' bears no connection with content!

"...the amount of pirated gold recovered inside and out of Germany(that was 'recovered') might perhaps, have only been just a fraction of what there actually was. No doubt, the precaution of stock piling of currencies and bullion would've been immediate, especially under wartime circumstances, whereby accountability can prove to be just a tad bit difficult! Can only imagine 'how much' loot was yielded! Anyway, just something to think about..."

Thanks for the upload. Spent the whole day listening to this... what a fascinating story :)

4:16:42- The whole Moe Berg story is more complicated than presented here. There’s a very good biography of Berg, and his role in this affair is less than clear. He was something of an autodidact, and his life was pretty sad. Whether he had the responsibility to kill Heisenberg for the CIA is not certain.

Who's more evil. A person who commits the crimes or people financing the person to do it?

The one VERY MAJOR problem with this book is that it doesn't address or resolve Hitler's severe & well-documented drug addiction. He was being injected with a cocktail of amphetamines each morning and another barbiturate cocktail injection to go to bed every night. This would have been a massive problem within the context of this book's allegations.

4:31:41 "Luftfahrt Forschungsamt" should be translated as: aviation research department, not Luftwaffe radio intercept unit (even if it technically was a radio intercept unit)

I don’t agree drawing conclusions based on hearsay especially when a person has a vested interest in those conclusions being true but this book is interesting. Though I would never take it too seriously.

The first six hours were interesting but not a fundamental foundation to rest of book. As for the rest of it, it all makes sense to me. Thank you Will Patton for voice work.
