The Why Files·True Crime & MysteryPeter Levenda - From Bobby Kennedy's Funeral to Nazi Gold in Indonesia | Basement Trailer
TL;DR
Peter Levenda recounts infiltrating Bobby Kennedy's funeral as a fake priest and investigating Nazi colonies and Hitler death theories across the globe.
Key Points
- 1.Levenda snuck into Bobby Kennedy's funeral at 17 by posing as a priest. To avoid Vietnam-era draft, he and friends created their own church affiliated with a Czechoslovakian Slovak Orthodox denomination, using clergy deferments — then used that cover to enter the heavily guarded 1968 funeral alongside presidents, senators, and celebrities.
- 2.He personally visited Colonia Dignidad in Chile, a secretive Nazi-run cult compound. After photographing the site, a mysterious Mercedes blocked his exit and two large men demanded his papers — a real-life scene he compares to Casablanca.
- 3.A man who died in Surabaya, Indonesia was believed by locals to be Hitler, with matching head shape, earlobes, Austrian birthdate, and a passport. Levenda visited the cemetery where a guide immediately identified the grave as Hitler's, calling it a massive failure of every intelligence agency on the planet.
