How Hitler died?

Adolf Hitler died on April 30, 1945, but his illogical death has still remained a mystery. Hitler, who caused more than seventeen million killings, allegedly and unbelievably killed himself with cyanide. Hitler's cremation rituals were however not performed in public, which led to multiple unfounded theories. Many historians have made their own observations, including the one that Hitler was closely associated with aliens and went with them to an unknown corner of the universe. Some historians still believe that Hitler either went to Antarctica or the moon. How did Hitler die? How did Hitler kill himself? Let's find out

Adolf Hitler was a victim of racial superiority and his baseless desire to conquer the world took more than 17 million lives, including 6 million Jews. 

His political reign caused more lives than that of Joseph Stalin of Soviet Union, Leopold II of Belgium, Hideki Tojo of Japan, Idi Amin of Uganda and Halaku khan of Mongolia. 

Hitler did not prefer to die like great leaders like Tipu Sultan, Saddam Hussein, etc, even though he was thought to be as fearless as young Alexander the Great and young Napoleon.

Germany was totally on the verge of military collapse during WWII. Hitler realizing that defeat was unavoidable planned his end himself. Hitler in fact was terrified of being captured by the Allies and to suffer the same fate as Mussolini. Hitler genuinely didn't want to go through what Mussolini had in Italy. Benito Mussolini was a political leader, and the founder of Italian fascism. On April 28, 1945, he was shot dead and then hung upside down along with his mistress, Clara Petacci, in public square.

In late April 1945, Soviet forces were making quick progress towards Berlin. Hitler began to consider suicide after realizing that there was no other way to prevent defeat. Sense of fear, uncertainty of circumstances and the feelings of the things coming to an end began to dominate Hitler.

Hitler therefore made a will on April 29, 1945, the day before his suicide, and he also married Eva Braun, his lifelong mistress, on that day. On April 30, Hitler and his wife Eva Brown left for their Fuhrer bunker in Berlin the following day. They barricaded themselves in. After some time, a gunshot was heard. Rochus was stationed at the entrance. He reported hearing a bullet's sound. Initially, no one dared to open the door but someone somehow opened it. Rochus told that he was anxious, so he looked in the room and saw Hitler lying on the table and Eva on the couch. 

Hitler's remains were taken to the Reich Chancellery for a final ritual. Later, together with Eva Braun, Hitler's body was burned with gasoline. Nobody saw Hitler shot, his body was never displayed in public, and no photos were taken of it.

Due to the absence of eyewitnesses and the ritualistic removal and cremation, Hitler's death has remained a mystery. Nonetheless, it was claimed that two men had seen the bodies and cremation. Martin Bormann and Joseph Goebbels were them. They both later committed suicide. 

Anybody who was an eyewitness to Hitler's death in whatever way committed suicide. General Hans Krebs who informed Hitler's death to Soviet General, Vasily Chuikov, killed himself inside the Führerbunker. 

The president of the Soviet Union, Stallin, had his own reservations about Hitler's demise. On May 5, 1945, he gave the order to Red Army intelligence officer Smersh to exhume Hitler's remains in order to confirm. Thus, in May 1946, work was done nearby the Führerbunker to make sure. During the excavation, a skull with a bullet hole was found. This helped to greatly validate Hitler's execution.

Additionally, Hitler's dentist, Käthe Heusermann, confirmed Hitler's death through the examination of Hitler's jawbone. These evidences of the skull with a whole and a jawbone were kept in the Soviet state.

Hitler was initially thought to have poisoned himself with cyanide, but Otto Günsche, one of Hitler's bodyguards, informed the Soviet law enforcement agency that Hitler had actually shot himself in the head. Rochus Misch, another bodyguard for Hitler, saw Hitler's corpse as well. He added that Hitler had become crippled as a result of being seized by the USSR. Hitler therefore asked his doctor for suicide techniques. The doctor prescribed him tablets and a shot.

The members of the Allies were informed by Joseph Stallin that Hitler had gone to Argentina or Spain. However, the FBI looked into Hitler's escape but was unable to come to a conclusion, therefore the case was dropped in 1956.

On May 2, 1945, when the Soviet army took control of the bunker, they discovered a dead body that resembled Hitler's. That was feasible since replicating human bodies was prevalent during World War Two. Like Stallin, several leaders had a lot of doubles. Churchill was also rumored to have just one double. Hitler utilized his duplicate to trick the Allies.

Here, the question of where Hitler went if he didn't pass away in 1945, arises. Hitler fled to Antarctica, according to information from Google, well-known publications, and YouTube. Douglas Dietrich claimed that the Nazis had constructed a hidden Aryan colony in Antarctica.

There were numerous speculations about how Hitler died. For instance, it was claimed by many historians that Hitler visited the moon. Hitler accompanied aliens to a remote region of the universe since he was thought to be friends with aliens. Moreover, Hitler was also thought to be in San Diego or Spain. While others claim that Hitler died of Parkinson's illness.

According to a study published in the European Journal of Internal Medicine, Hitler shot and ingested cyanide before passing away in 1945. Philipe Charlier, the study's lead author, told AFP that his research proved that Hitler died in 1945.

Hitler once referred to himself as "the hardest man there had ever been," and he lived up to that label. Hitler, who received the Iron Cross during World War One, led Germany to the Second World War and was responsible for the Holocaust. Why didn't Hitler fight bravely instead of attempting suicide?
