CHASING CONSPIRACIES is a one-hour series that chronicles some of the world's greatest conspiracy theories, identifying key aspects and presenting historical evidence to support each one. The series opener explores whether Hitler really committed suicide in his bunker in Berlin, what happened to gold hidden by the Nazis as they faced defeat, and if the European Union is a form of German domination by other means. The show's second episode chronicles the life of Reinhard Gehlen, who was the head of Nazi Germany's intelligence operation against the Soviets. That made him invaluable to the West during the Cold War, but he may have simply told his new allies what they wanted to hear, fueling the arms race.
