The generally accepted cause of Adolf Hitler's death on April 30, 1945 is suicide by gunshot and cyanide poisoning. The dual method and other circumstances surrounding the event encouraged rumors that Adolf Hitler may have survived the end of World War II along with speculation about what happened to his remains; however, consensus on most of the details was eventually reached among historians, aided by the 1993 opening of records kept by the Russian KGB and FSB. Hitler relocated to the Führerbunker on January 16, 1945, where he presided over the rapid disintegration of his Third Reich as the Allies advanced from both east and west. By late April, Soviet forces had entered Berlin itself and were battling their way to the center of the city where the Chancellery was located. Realizing that defeat was imminent, Hitler began making preparations for his suicide. Hitler finished drafting his last will and testament at 4 am on April 29. Shortly after midnight on April 30, 1945, Hitler married Eva Braun in a small civil ceremony in a map room within the bunker complex, and dictated his personal will and political testament to secretary Traudl Junge, before finally retiring to bed at around 4:00 am. Shortly after noon on April 30, Hitler had a short meeting with Party Secretary Bormann before eating a small lunch consisting of spaghetti with a light sauce. Hitler and Eva Braun then said their personal farewells to members of the Führerbunker staff and fellow occupants, including the Goebbels family, Bormann, the secretaries, and several military officers. At around 2:30 pm, as Soviet forces raised their banner over the neighboring Reichstag, Adolf and Eva Hitler went into Hitler's personal study. Some witnesses later reported hearing a loud gunshot at around 3:30 pm (the Goebbels' young son is said to have declared, "A direct hit!" thinking it was a bomb overhead). After waiting a few minutes, Hitler's valet, Heinz Linge, with Bormann at his side, opened the door to the study. Linge later stated he immediately noted a scent of burned almonds in the small study, a common observation made in the presence of prussic acid, a form of cyanide. The Hitlers were both sitting on a small sofa, Eva on the left, Adolf to the right. Eva's body slumped away from Adolf's. Hitler appeared to have shot himself in the right temple with a 7.65 mm pistol which lay at his feet. Blood was dripping from the wound to his right temple and had made a large stain on the left arm of the sofa. Eva had no visible physical wounds and Linge assumed she had poisoned herself. Several witnesses stated the two bodies were carried to a small, bombed-out garden outside the bunker complex, where they were doused with petrol and set alight by Linge and members of Hitler's personal SS bodyguard. The SS guards and Linge later noted the fire did not completely destroy the corpses, but Soviet shelling of the bunker compound made further cremation attempts impossible and the remains were later covered up in a shallow bomb crater. Soviet troops stormed the Chancellory at approximately 11:00 pm. Hitler and Braun's badly burned and hastily buried remains were recovered by a SMERSH unit which was subsequently assigned to locate the Führer's body (it was attached to the 79th Rifle Corps of the Soviet Third Shock Army and is frequently referred to as 79th SMERSH).

Hitler committed suicide because he was afraid to be captured by the Russians. His senior staff burned his body. He was defeated by the British when he failed to invade England. This was the turning point of the war. The RAF was able to against overwhelming odds (10 to 1) prevent the bombers from causing serious damage to the industrial capability of England. Because England remained free, it allowed the Allies to build up on a staging point and able to launch an offensive in 1944. The Japanese also defeated the Germans. Through their attack on Pearl Harbour, it brought the United States into WWII a year after Canada, Australia, New Zealand and England had already beaten back the Germans, and kept the African ports free from Germany.
