Best Answer

Her last radio call was at 8:45 am on July 2nd, 1937.

As others have said, the fate of Amelia and her navigator is not known but it may safely assumed that for some reason their aeroplane crashed into the sea. The size and depth of the ocean, and lack of knowledge of their last position in the air, means that no trace has ever been found.

How Nazis involved in Amelia Earhart's disappearance?

Your best source of info about Earhart is a group called TIGHAR, which is, I think, at tighar.org . I don't think Nazis had anything to do with it. She seems to have been a rookie at using radio, even shipped her vital telegraph key home "to save weight". Her radio had been modified, which undoubtedly lowered its range. When radio contact with Itasca became her only real hope of finding them, she simply couldn't make good contact.

Amelia Earhart's last flight took off on July 1st, 1937 heading for Howland Island, a tiny island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. She never made it there and the last contact ever made with her via radio transmission was July 2nd.
