hitler's+death





Adolf Hitler committed suicide by gunshot, on April 30th 1945, in his shelter (the Führerbunker) in Berlin, Germany. It was the last of the Führerhauptquartiere (his headquarters) used by him during the Second World War. His wife's name was Eva Braun, and she committed suicide with him by taking cyanide. Later that day, his remains were carried through the emergency exist, doused in petrol and then set on fire in the garden outside his bunker. His burnt remains were then scattered and buried in different places, and in 1970, they were exhumed, then cremated and then his ashes were scattered.Many people say different things about his death, such as that he only died by poison, that he died by shooting himself while simultaneously biting on a cyanide capsule, and eye witness said that he viewed Hitler shooting himself through the mouth. Although many of these were seen as Soviet Propaganda.It is also believed that Hitler didn't commit suicide, but rather escaped to Argentina. He supposedly crossed the Andes Mountains before arriving in Argentina at Hacienda San Ramón until he died.
