German historian Harald Sandner claims to have found evidence suggesting Adolf Hitler may have murdered his 23-year-old niece, Angela “Geli” Raubal, in September 1931, rather than her death being a suicide as previously believed. Sandner argues that official records show the body was discovered on September 18 when Hitler was still in Munich, contradicting his alibi of being elsewhere at the time of her death. However, other historians like Guy Walters remain skeptical, suggesting the discrepancy might be due to a simple transcription error and doubt the sexual relationship between Hitler and Raubal.

Story summary
Adolf Hitler ordered the deaths of millions during his reign, but newly uncovered evidence suggests that he may have personally killed his 23-year-old niece Angela "Geli" Raubal. She was found shot dead inside Hitler's Munich apartment on September 19, 1931, with his gun at the scene. Initially, her death was ruled a suicide since Hitler claimed to be in Nuremberg during that time. However, German historian Harald Sandner has uncovered official records indicating Raubal’s body was found 24 hours earlier than previously thought, on September 18, when Hitler was still in Munich. This discovery raises doubts about Hitler's alibi and suggests he may have been present at the time of her death, potentially implicating him in her murder.
