Hitler was a German politician who was the leader of the Nazi Party, Chancellor of Germany from 1933 to 1945, and Führer ("Leader") of Nazi Germany from 1934 to 1945. He killed himself by gunshot on 30 April 1945 in his Führerbunker in Berlin.[a][b][c] Eva Braun, his wife of one day, committed suicide with him by taking cyanide.[d] In accordance with Hitler's prior written and verbal instructions, that afternoon 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.[1][2] Records in the Soviet archives show that their burnt remains were recovered and interred in successive locations[e] until 1970, when they were again exhumed, cremated, and the ashes scattered.
Accounts differ as to the cause of death; one version stated that he died by poison only[g] and another view claimed he died by a self-inflicted gunshot while biting down on a cyanide capsule. Contemporary historians have rejected these accounts as being either Soviet propaganda[i][j] or an attempted compromise in order to reconcile the different conclusions.[h][k] <30 April-1945: At 3.30 p.m. Hitler and his wife commit suicide. Both swallow potassium cyanide ampoules, and Hitler, in addition, shoots himself with his pistol, whether through his mouth or temple has not been satisfactorily established. Their bodies are carried into the garden of the Chancellery, soaked in petrol and set alight.
Bormann sends a telegram to Grand Admiral Dönitz, informing him that the Führer has appointed him his successor – but he does not reveal the fact that Hitler is no longer alive. The new Reich Chancellor Goebbels, in agreement with Bormann and General Krebs, decides to arrange a ceasefire with the Russians. After establishing contact by wireless, General Krebs is sent at midnight to the Russian HQ. He carries a letter to Marshal Zhukov, to be forwarded to Stalin, informing him of Hitler’s death and a request for Reich Chancellor Goebbels to negotiate an armistice between Germany and 
Adolf Hitler, Eva Braun, the Goebbels family and General Krebs, which were found in a varied state of decom- position on 2 May when the Russian troops entered in the gardens of the Reich Chancellery, has remained a mystery because of the inaccessibility of Soviet records. Thanks to perestroika the mystery has been to some extent explained through the opening of Soviet secret (‘trophy’) archives. Hitler’s remains were never taken to Russia, but were kept in wooden boxes mixed with the bones of the other victims found near the bunker. An autopsy was carried out on all the corpses in early May 1945; people from Hitler’s staff, such as his valet Heinz Linge, his pilot Hans Baur, the SS adjutant Otto Günsche, and others, were interrogated extensively and their information used to reconstruct the last moments in the dictator’s life. However, one part of what was suspected to be Hitler’s skull, with a bullet hole, was taken to Moscow and hidden, together with six files filled with documents and photographs, in the State Special Trophy Archive. This evidence was not welcomed by Stalin who, for reasons of his own, spread the news at the Potsdam Conference that Hitler had not died, but had escaped by submarine and was in hiding either in Spain or Argentine. In 1950, as can be seen in the Soviet film The Fall of Berlin, Soviet censorship allowed the change of the Hitlersurvivalist myth back to the suicide story. In that version, however (as exemplified in Lev Bezymenski’s 1968 book), Hitler was not allowed to shoot himself like a manly officer, but had to die like a rat from poison.>>Nowhere. While not 100% proven the official story is that after Hitler and Eva Braun killed themselves there was an attempt to burn their bodies but they were recovered by the Soviets. Their bodies, along with those of the Goebbels family were buried in secret in Magdeburg Germany, then in the 1970s out of desire to avoid their grave from being discovered they were all exhumed, cremated and pulverized into powder. These cremains were then dumped into a river and are gone for good.
