"If he were indeed dead, the hope of most of mankind had been realized," TIME observed. "For seldom had so many millions of people hoped so implacably for the death of one man."
It wasn’t immediately clear what had happened on April 30, 1945. This much the world knew: Adolf Hitler was gone, one way or another.
Although the Soviets had discovered the charred remains of AH and EBH in the Reich Chancellery garden, Stalin attempted to deceive the West that Hitler was missing.
Hitler enjoyed decades of retired life in Argentina. Or did he?
“Hitler enjoyed decades of retired life in Argentina. Or did he?”
He worked at the Minneapolis Target as a greeter until his untimely death.
I’m pretty sure that just about 6 years ago that DNA proved those remains were not of Hitler. :(
I thought the dental records confirmed it.
I’m waiting for the video, “Hitler reacts to news reports of Hitler’s death.”
"Eine minuten, eine minuten! Ach! Das wagen phone ist ein...nuisance phone!"
Larry and Curly disagree.
I heard he became an Elvis impersonator in Vegas.
THAT’s what I was waiting for.
I knew it was coming.
Huh? I thought she was still alive.
Yes, they tested the skull fragment and it did not match Hitler or Eva Braun’s DNA.
All that was certain to remain after 1,000 years was the all but incredible story of the demonic little man who rose through the grating of a gutter to make himself absolute master of most of Europe and to change the history of the world more decisively than any other 20th-century man but Lenin. Seldom in human history, never in modern times, had a man so insignificantly monstrous become the absolute head of a great nation. It was impossible to dismiss him as a mountebank, a paper hanger. The suffering and desolation that he wrought was beyond human power or fortitude to compute. The bodies of his victims were heaped across Europe from Stalingrad to London. The ruin in terms of human lives was forever incalculable. It had required a coalition of the whole world to destroy the power his political inspiration had contrived.
Remind you of anyone you know?
We really only have the Soviets’ word on that, they destroyed the jaw bone afterwards, so it can’t be examined by anyone else.
Hitler has left the building.
