Witness at the Water's Edge
1946–1988: Adolf Hitler survives and vanishes into a German-loyalist network in Ozaukee County, Wisconsin, posing as a retired tool-and-die man, painting neat Midwestern vistas whose windows seem to watch back. Two ghosts—Heinrich Müller and Hans Kammler—surface nearby under new surnames while decoys across America diffuse attention. Sister Magdalena Köhler (School Sisters of St. Francis) documents unsettling signs—spooked horses, birds falling mid-flight, baptismal water darkening at his touch—and quietly feeds a New York lawyer, Danny Levitan, who works with respected Nazi Hunter Simon Wiesenthal. The trail hardens across markets, machine sheds, and lake piers. A pair of analeptic chapters reveal curated serenity at the Berghof and a credible bunker-to-Atlantic escape. In 1988, at Lake Michigan’s edge, conscience and certainty collide in a final reckoning.
