While I believe Hitler committed suicide at the bunker, anything was possible and it's obvious it could have happened because thousands pulled it off.

You use too much that "nothing could be further from the truth." Regarding submarine detection, I think one word is sufficient: radar, and for tad more words; especially radar equipped submarine hunting airplanes. That is how the submarines got sunk at the Bay of Biscay, and also in generally most of the later war German subs fell to radar equipped submarine hunting airplanes, those could detect even sub's snorkel.
Yes, Hitler could have escaped to South America, but most probably not with submarine, and he didn't do it with any way.
