Adolf Hitler may not have shot himself dead and perhaps did not even die in his bunker, it emerged yesterday.
A skull fragment believed for decades to be the Nazi leaders has turned out to be that of a woman under 40 after DNA analysis.
Scientists and historians had long thought it to be conclusive proof that Hitler shot himself in the head after taking a cyanide pill on 30 April 1945 rather than face the ignominy of capture.
The piece of skull - complete with bullet hole - had been taken from outside the Fuhrers bunker by the Russian Army and preserved by Soviet intelligence.
Now the story of Hitlers death will have to rewritten as a mystery - and conspiracy theorists are likely to latch on to the possibility that he may not have died in the bunker at all.
The traditional story is that Hitler committed suicide with Eva Braun as the Russians bombarded Berlin.
Although some historians doubted he shot himself and suggested it was Nazi propaganda to make him a hero, the hole in the skull fragment seemed to settle the argument when it was put on display in Moscow in 2000.
But DNA analysis has now been performed on the bone by American researchers.
'We know the skull corresponds to a woman between the ages of 20 and 40,' said University of Connecticut archeologist Nick Bellantoni.

Hitler escaped the bunker alive.
He made it to Kenya planning to use his own seed to start a new master race.
Obama?

Fresh doubts over Hitler's death...How could he be dead if he occupied the White House for eight years and he's been seen at Town Hall meetings all over America recently?

I remember that there were a lot of bad films about escaped Nazi scientists trying to bring back the Fuhrer... There were Nazi scientists who worked over here on our space program...
