Mark Evans follows the extraordinary trail of relics claimed to come from Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun: bones sold by a KGB defector and hair apparently found on a hairbrush at Hitler's mountain retreat by a US Army intelligence officer at the end of the Second World War. As Mark checks out the provenance, the scientists extract the DNA and reveal an extraordinary result. Mark also meets a Canadian dentist who owns one of John Lennon's teeth and wants to clone the Beatles legend, and tests what's claimed to be a tiny part of Marlon Brando.
