When this episode first aired, the ultimate fate of Martin Bormann was not known. Although he had been tried in absentia and sentenced to death at the Nuremberg Trials in 1946, he was rumored to still be alive. It wasn't until 1972, over five years after this episode aired, that German construction workers found what was believed to be his body in West Berlin, where it was believed he had been killed trying to escape Berlin in the closing days of the war. It wasn't until 1998 that a conclusive DNA match was made.
Martin Bormann's residence in the fictional 'Puerto Ubera' might be the outcome of the post-World War II ratlines, a system of escape routes for Nazis and other fascists fleeing Europe. These escape routes mainly led toward havens in Latin America, particularly Argentina, Chile, Paraguay, Colombia, Brazil and Uruguay.
Briggs says that the chateau in the jungle serves as the new Berchtesgaden. Actually, the Berghof, Hitler's home in the Obersalzberg of the Bavarian Alps, was near the municipality of Berchtesgaden. Hitler spent more time at the Berghof than anywhere else during World War II.
