And just yesterday an article made the front page saying it was due to a specific yam variety that cause double ovulation to be so high.
Gotta slip the nazis in there somehow, though!
Chicken / Egg dilemma.
We all know the egg came first brother.
Godspeed.
This gives too much credit to Mengele. His twin experiments had no scientific value, so there was no way he could have used those experiments to increase the rate of twin births.
I wonder how many random little towns across south America are predominantly German descent.
Pretty common. Some of them are or used to be exclusively German towns were people only talked german. Some extreme cases are the Mennonites towns in Argentina that still exist today, were men talk german in town and spanish when they travel to the cities, but woman's only talk german because they rarely travel outside the town.
There is a new movie called "Women Talking" that is based on a true story of a Mennonite colony in Bolivia. The men used animal tranquilizers on women and girls and raped them while they slept.
I read up on that recently after hearing about the film. Fucking bonkers. Those poor women and children.
The worst part is that it's still going on. There was a lot that was hinky about the "official" story, and many members of the community think it was basically a coverup for abuse by the victims' family members. The nighttime attacks continued after the men were jailed. Anesthetics also don't work the way the prosecution claimed. Canadian Mennonite's coverage goes into way more detail.
My uncle grew up in one in Brazil. His parents were German immigrants and he grew up speaking only German. Didn’t event learn Portuguese until he was around 8.
There has been multiple debates but the answer is clear nothing the Nazi party ever did in medicine especially menegele ever discovered everything that's a lot of people's defense is that even though there experiments were unethical they helped medicine and no they did not they did not do a single thing except torture and cut open people for no reason

I think you dropped those…
Lol ya I'm terrible with grammar always have been I'm sorry to those who have to read my writing
I think there were some advances made in regards to hypothermia. But mengele in particular was a madman whose depravity accomplished nothing
Or the result of inbreeding...

In the late 1950s, my family lived in a small, recently-built housing tract in Long Beach, California that counted 17 sets of twins, 3 sets of triplets, and 1 set of quadruplets all under the age of 12 in a total of 54 homes. I think it was some sort of national record, although no one could figure out if it was environmental or simply coincidence.
I do know that my youngest sister --who was conceived and born there-- ended up dying of early onset breast cancer at the age of 36.

I think one day the conspiracy theory that Hitler and other head Nazis escaped to Argentina will be found to be true. There's just too much pointing to it.
I'm not sure about Hitler but we definitely know a few high ranking nazis did escape to Argentina including Adolf Eichmann the architect of the holocaust so its not out the question that few more may have joined him
Like we know lots of nazis did including high level ones. Is it just Hitler we are waiting on confirmation of?
Yes but for starters it would take Russia to admit that the skull they found wasn't his.
So literally an impossibility
Yeah basically
FFS yes people please keep downvoting my comments. I'm sorry this conspiracy theory makes you feel butthurt and rattles your worldview but it is something that's actually possible with history changing ramifications. Get over it
What changes in the world were Hitler lived to his 70s?
Well not to the world other than him escaping and not dying. I think a lot of people would be pretty pissed to know he was alive and could have been caught and brought before the court
I rather like the idea he would have had to live out his days always wondering if today was the day he was found out.
That would be nice but look into The Inalco House... This is the most popular theory of where he lived his days out. That's just a picture of the mansion.
"While the claims have received some exposure in popular culture, they are regarded by historians and scientific experts as disproven fringe theories. Eyewitnesses and Hitler's dental remains demonstrate that he died in his Berlin bunker in 1945."

The only thing that’s kind of a conspiracy theory is that Hitler lived and escaped, but that’s a pretty common theory. No one really knows. I think the downvotes you’re getting are for acting like we haven’t already confirmed that lots of other Nazis did make it to South America.
I'm not acting like we didn't know that, I misspoke.
That’s fine, but we can’t tell via text whether you misspoke or you actually didn’t know that.
Hitler definitely shot himself in his bunker in Berlin, but numerous high-ranking Nazis made it to South America or the Middle East via ratlines. Martin Bormann, his secretary, was one of them.
Trust me I hope he did kill himself but it's just things like these that leave questions. One says it's his, one says it's not. But this is how all conspiracy theories start, right?

I trust the Smithsonian more than I trust a news outlet like the Guardian. I can also link you to some Mark Felton videos that conclusively state Hitler shot himself.
It was just the first 2 sites I saw that showed the 2 different sides. I didn't specifically choose the guardian for any reason.

Wiki: Records indicate that the high frequency of twins predates Mengele's arrival to South America.
