Hunters Season 2 primarily focuses on two storylines set in the 1970s, with two flashback stories set even earlier. Season 2 of Hunters begins up with the ragtag group of Nazi hunters gathering for one more task, two years after Jonah Heidelbaum’s (Logan Lerman) revelation that Meyer Offerman (Al Pacino) was really the sadistic Nazi doctor Wilhelm Zechs. Hunters Season 2 follows the titular team as they try to locate and kill Adolf Hitler in Argentina. Meanwhile, a backstory arc explores the origins of the show’s founders, Meyer and Wilhelm, and their Nazi-hunting organisation.

Season one of the Amazon original series Hunters mostly took place in 1977, but also had several flashbacks to Ruth’s time in the death camps in the early 1940s. Season two of Amazon’s Hunters is essentially similar to season one, albeit the multiple time jumps within individual episodes may be confusing.
Hunters’ last season’s several timelines, which include Jonah’s search for Hitler, Meyer’s memories to the formation of the hunters, Chava’s flashbacks to her Nazi-hunting days, and Zev’s “ghost narrative,” are able to wrap up the characters’ stories and heroic missions.
Hunters Season 2 Recap
A few months have passed after Hitler’s arrest, and the last chapter has just begun. The prosecution of Hitler for his crimes against humanity, so the media tells us, would be the most watched court case of the century, if not the millennium. We now know for sure that Hitler was the man in the photos because we have his dental and fingerprint records, and we’re also doing a full investigation into the circumstances surrounding his faked death. It’s true that only FBI agent Millie Morris has been legally charged in this continuing affair, but the whole Hunters team has been present at the trial in some capacity.
If you thought this trial would be simple, you were wrong. Hitler has hired a famous lawyer, and his supporters have gathered outside the courtroom to protest. To make matters even more dire, the sessions are being presided over by a judge with links to the Nazi party. Also, the Colonel and Travis (whom the gunshot seemingly missed) look to be plotting something. There are a few short shots of Nazi foot troops setting off bombs, which add to the overall suspense.
The trial begins in accordance with standard operating procedure. Defendant Benjamin Kramer, who seems anxious, raises many objections to the prosecution’s tactics of inquiry. At first glance, Judge Mueller seems to be on Hitler’s side, since he sides with Kramer’s concerns and privately believes that prosecutor Oliver Frankel must demonstrate Hitler’s crimes. It’s really ridiculous, yet it makes sense; after all, even Adolf Hitler deserves a fair trial.
Mindy Markowitz (Carol Kane) is only one of several witnesses who have survived. This allows for a sombre, realistic depiction of the horrors of war on television. It’s tragic enough that Hitler has his attorney cross-examine her by accusing her of lying and embellishment, but it simply adds insult to injury. Kramer’s negative response is a relief.

The programme starts to teeter on the brink of disbelief and ridiculousness when it is revealed that Hitler will be questioned. Kramer argues that if Hitler witnesses, he would legitimise the trial and give adequate defence, something the Nazis would never do. Frankel, on the other hand, says that Hitler will inspire a new generation of Nazis if he testifies.
Frankel puts Adolf Hitler on the stand and asks him questions. Of course, Hitler denies these assertions, saying that he has not been hiding but rather enjoying a lengthy time of leisure. When describing the master race and his anti-Semitism, Hitler avoids drawing any conclusions about himself. Frankel changes tactics and puts Hitler in an impossible position. The Fuhrer insists the crimes didn’t happen and that his fans had good reason to worship him. As he becomes more confused by the seeming discrepancies, he finally loses his temper and confesses to everything.
Hitler is found guilty of war crimes and sentenced to life in prison. The suspect is taken away in an ambulance after he ingests a cyanide pill while being arrested. The Colonel’s plan starts to take form, and our Hunters reunite to prevent his escape.
Following the deaths of the other employees, Hitler is secretly driven away in an ambulance as the driver takes cover. As the rest of the Hunters go by automobile, Jonah follows on his motorbike. The explosives from earlier are used to blow up a tunnel, causing the Hunters to abandon the chase while Jonah rides on.
In a hidden spot, Adolf and his wife are reunited. She calls Travis and tells him to murder her husband since he is “a disgrace to the family.” Travis doesn’t bother to defend the Colonel and instead fires at her. He tells Adolf he has the backing of the inmates and wants to be appointed head of the Nazi party. Jonah confronts the adversary with gunfire after pursuing them to the rooftop.
Jonah is shot and begins coughing up blood, but thankfully Joe is along to save the day. The police have no option but to re-arrest Hitler once Travis disappears. A reasonable punishment, according to some, may be the result of the man’s wrath at being treated like a number in jail.
Hunters Season 2 Plotline
Meyer’s life story is revealed in flashback form during the play’s final act. In 1977, Ruth and Meyer are investigating a Nazi called Heinz Richter. Meyer telephones Heinz in an attempt to forewarn him of an upcoming assault, but his tone is foreboding. His telling Heinz Ruth’s name and location essentially seals her fate. Meyer planned Ruth’s murder and plotted her death. Maybe he was attempting to conceal something from her, but he appeared more anxious.
We seem to be back in the present, where everything is operating normally. While Millie is awarded a medal of honour by Congress, Jonah and Clara are exchanging their vows. Despite this, Millie continues to feel guilty about the Bishop’s death and finally comes clean about her involvement. While Millie’s revelation is ignored in favour of portraying her as a hero, Jonah’s fears that he is a monster persist. Jonah is comforted by Millie, and he in turn comforts his friend. Each of them needs attention for emotional traumas.
Harriet, Jonah’s sister, stops over after the wedding to hand off a present. It contains Heinz Richter’s phone records from his toy business. Things like those point to Meyer calling Heinz on the day Ruth was killed. Jonah deduces that Meyer had at least warned Heinz about the situation. It was Ruth’s realisation that Meyer was the Wolf that did her in. The novel ends on a terrible note as Jonah learns the truth about his grandmother’s death.
We are farther away from a joyful ending after this last scene. Jonah is starting to become distracted as he and Clara toast their new life together on their honeymoon. He spots a German grandpa giving him the cold shoulder. I really doubt Jonah will ever feel safe and secure again. The Hunters’ image has been harmed, and they now have to deal with new enemies, despite the fact that the Nazis have been destroyed and Hitler has been imprisoned for good. The show implies that there are no easy victories in the fight for justice.
