The Death of Adolf Hitler

 

Adolf Hitler was committed suicide by gunshot on 30 April 1945 in his Fuhrerbunker in Berlin while his wife Eva, was committed suicide with him by ingesting cyanide.

That afternoon, in accordance with Hitler's prior instructions, their remains were carried up the stairs through the bunker's emergency exit, doused in petrol and set alight in the Reich Chancellery garden outside the bunker. The Soviet archives record that their burnt remains were recovered and interred in successive locations until 1970 when they were again exhumed, cremated and the ashes scattered.

Accounts differ as to the cause of death, one that he died by poison only and another that he died by a self-inflicted gunshot, while biting down on a cyanide capsule. The contemporary historians have rejected these accounts as being either Soviet propaganda or an attempted compromise in order to reconcile the different conclusions. One eye-witness recorded that the body showed signs of having been shot through the mouth, but this has been proven unlikely. There is also controversy regarding the authenticity of skull and jaw fragments which were recovered.

In turn, the death of Adolf Hitler had become controversy since there is no solid evidence to prove the way how he ends his life as well. But, his death had become the new lease of life since the West Germany was free from the rule of Hitler. Maybe for the West Germany people the death of  Hitler is the source of happiness for them as well.
