Did adolf hitler really die in 1945? ....?

• "June 9th 1945 that the remains of Hitler had not been found, and that Hitler was probably still alive." HE might been alive, whats the real date that he died??

• Answer:

  Russia has a part of his skull in it's archives, so it is a safe bet that he is in-fact dead. This isnt Elvis we are talking about. In June 1945, the Soviets announced - falsely - that Hitler's remains had not been found and that he was probably still alive. "Here, my Führer, is my grandchild" - a 1930s cigarette card from the Security Service archives. Click to see a larger image (71 Kb). This announcement caused a predictable flurry of "Hitler sightings" across Europe. Allied officers sought to establish beyond possible doubt that Hitler had indeed died in his bunker. To that end, they interrogated various members of Hitler's personal staff who had been with the dictator in late April 1945. The historian Hugh Trevor-Roper, who served as a British military intelligence officer during the war, used these accounts to investigate the circumstances of Hitler's death and rebut claims that Hitler was still alive and living somewhere in the West. He published an account of his findings in 1947 in his book The Last Days of Hitler. By the morning of 30 April Russian forces had reached the nearby Potsdamer Platz and the sounds of battle were all around. One version on record suggests that Eva was overheard crying, "I would rather die here. I do not want to escape". She and Hitler later emerged from their suite, their personal staff having been assembled, and went round the room shaking hands silently. Everyone knew that the time had come. Junge recalled that she and Christian both asked Hitler for a poison capsule, having noted the rapid effect that the poison had had on Hitler's dog. Hitler gave them one each, saying as he did so that he was sorry he had no better parting gift and that he wished his generals had been as poised and brave as they were. Eva embraced Junge and, in what seems to have been her last recorded words said, "Take my fur coat as a memory. I always like well-dressed women". Then, saying "It is finished, goodbye", Hitler took Eva back into their rooms for the last time. During the afternoon Hitler shot himself and Eva took the poison capsule that he had given her. Disposal of the bodies Soon afterwards their bodies were carried up the stairs to a small garden outside the door to the bunker complex. Hitler's driver, another of those interrogated, helped carry Eva's body some of the way and noted that once there it was placed on the ground beside Hitler's. He told his interrogators he had noticed that she had been wearing a blue summer dress made of real silk, that her shoes had cork heels, and that her hair was "artificially blonde". Moments later the same witness saw a party including Goebbels and Bormann gathered beside the bodies. One of them poured petrol from a can over the bodies. They then retired to the safety of a doorway with the sound of Russian artillery all around them. Hitler's adjutant lit a petrol-soaked rag and threw it on the bodies, which immediately burst into flames. The group made the Hitlergruss (the Nazi salute) and withdrew. One of the bunker guards arrived late on the scene. He described how he was greatly startled to see the two bodies burst into flames as if by spontaneous combustion. He had been unable to see the Goebbels party concealed in a doorway and only later was told the true circumstances. The bodies were only partly destroyed by the fire and were later hastily buried in a shallow bomb crater. After the war's end, they were exhumed by the Soviets and taken to Magdeburg in East Germany. Hitler's body was finally destroyed in April 1970, when it was secretly cremated by the KGB and dumped into the river Elbe. Part of Hitler's jaw and the top of his skull, containing the bullet wound from which he died, were removed and preserved. They are today stored in the Russian Federal Archives in Moscow. Hitler's final days in the Berlin bunker have been portrayed several in films, most recently Oliver Hirschbiegel's critically acclaimed 2004 film Der Untergang ("Downfall").
