- **Rumour / claim:** Hitler and Eva Braun lived at Casa Inalco; Sharkhunters “proved” it; armed staff/farm community of 80 people; 1955 Perón overthrow forced Hitler deeper underground.
- **Not proven by checked sources:** that Hitler escaped Berlin, survived in Argentina, lived at Casa Inalco, or that the Instagram/Sharkhunters claim overturns the bunker-death record.
