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. Ada Petrova posited in 1995 that Weler was killed outside the Reich Chancellery with a gunshot wound to the head during the Battle of Berlin and filmed by Red Army troops holding a photograph of Adolf Hitler. However, Hugh Thomas reported in 1995 that Weler was found alive after the war and that Allied troops had interviewed him following the fall of Berlin.
