Gustav Weler

Gustav Weler was a doppelgänger of Adolf Hitler. He occasionally stood in for Hitler and was used as a political decoy for security reasons.[1][2] It was posited in 1995 that Weler was killed outside the Reich Chancellery, and filmed by Red Army troops holding a photograph of Adolf Hitler.[3] However, author W. Hugh Thomas reported in 1996 that Weler was found alive after the war and that Allied troops had interviewed him following the fall of Berlin.[4]
