Another document from October 1955 from a CIA agent with the code name “CIMELODY-3” said he received information from a friend who spoke to a man claiming to be former Nazi SS soldier Phillip Citroen, who “confidently” told him Hitler was still alive in Colombia.
Citroen claimed to have talked to the former Nazi leader monthly and provided CIMELODY-3’s friend with a photograph showing him with the man he claimed to be Hitler on a beach in Tunja, Colombia.
CIMELODY-3’s friend, whose name was not provided in the document, unknowingly stole the picture from Citroen long enough for the agent to make a copy.

The man alleged to be Hitler was going by “Adolf Schrittelmayor,” and he left Colombia for Argentina in January 1955.
“Philip Citroen – commented that in as much as ten years have passed since the end of World War II, the Allies could no longer prosecute Hitler as a criminal of war,” the document stated.
On Nov. 4, 1955, the CIA approved agents contacting a person known in the files as “GIRELLA” to further investigate the history of “Adolf Schrittelmayor” in Colombia before 1955.
“CIMELODY-3” said he received information from a friend who spoke to a man claiming to be a former Nazi SS soldier Phillip Citroen, who “confidently” told him Hitler was still alive in Colombia.

However, the same document states that “enormous efforts could be expended on this matter with remote possibilities of establishing anything concrete. Therefore, we suggest that this matter be dropped.”
It appears that following 1955, no other documents have been made publicly available in the CIA’s declassified files
