Bone with bullet hole found by Russians in 1946 came from an unknown woman, not the German leader Tests on skull fragment cast doubt on Adolf Hitler suicide In countless biographies of Adolf Hitler the story of his final hours is recounted in the traditional version: committing suicide with Eva Braun, he took a cyanide pill and then shot himself on 30 April 1945, as the Russians bombarded Berlin.
Some historians expressed doubt that the Führer had shot himself, speculating that accounts of Hitler's death had been embellished to present his suicide in a suitably heroic light. But a fragment of skull, complete with bullet hole, which was taken from the bunker by the Russians and displayed in Moscow in 2000, appeared to settle the argument.
Until now. In the wake of new revelations, the histories of Hitler's death may need to be rewritten and left open-ended. American researchers claim to have demonstrated that the skull fragment, secretly preserved for decades by Soviet intelligence, belonged to a woman under 40, whose identity is unknown. DNA analyses performed on the bone, now held by the Russian State Archive in Moscow, have been processed at the genetics lab of the University of Connecticut. The results, broadcast in the US by a History Channel documentary, Hitler's Escape, astonished scientists.
According to Connecticut archaeologist and bone specialist Nick Bellantoni, it was clear from the outset that something was amiss. "The bone seemed very thin; male bone tends to be more robust," he said. "And the sutures where the skull plates come together seemed to correspond to someone under 40." In April 1945 Hitler turned 56.

That was good for a laugh. Thanks.
I thought the same thing. I saw this on “Mysteryquest” where they had the skull fragment and the blood on the sofa.
Why couldn’t the piece of skull be Eva’s and the blood on the sofa Adolph’s?
That’s racist....don’t make me report you, Don. ;.)
Despite this new revelation, it is well established that Hitler did commit suicide with Ava Braun in their bunker in 1945. Reliable witnesses tell of hearing a shot indicating that Hitler may have given himself a coupe de grace after biting on a cyanide capsule. While the exact details may never been known, there can be little or no doubt that Hitler died by his own hand in 1945.
Having been to that Argentine region I wouldn’t doubt it.
And after that they uncovered the Antarctic Stargate, which they used to escaped to another world.
While a mixup (accidental or not) may have occurred with the skull, there can be no doubt that Hitler and Eva died in the bunker because too many bunker occupants survived to give lifetimes of substantially similar stories of their suicides and subsequent partial cremation.
No no it is the inner earth that he escaped to.. In a sub to the north pole.
That's right. He flew there in one of these:
Who really gives a RATS A$$.
So Bart Simpson really got Hitler on the phone.
So what’s a better mythology, that Adolf died of heart disease at eighty five in Argentine rural village?
A fitting end for a tyrant.
:-)
But very invconvenient, because you have to put down the papers you wanted to clip, and shake the dispenser with both hands.
I’m currently reading “Death and Honor” by W.E.B. Griffin. It’s main story line is the whole Nazis in Argentina thing.
So it was Eva Braun who shot herself & Hitler that took poison? I guess that’s possible.
Note: this topic is from . Thanks COUNTrecount. Just makin' my own fun.
He’s buried in the end zone at Giant Stadium.
