Conspiracy theories about the death of Adolf Hitler, dictator of Germany from 1933 to 1945, contradict the accepted fact that he committed suicide in his Führerbunker on 30 April 1945. Most of these theories stem from a campaign of Soviet disinformation, which holds that Hitler and his wife, Eva Braun, survived and committed suicide. A new forensic study of remains guarded by Russian intelligence for seven decades has determined with certainty what historians have always assumed.
Adolf Hitler married Eva Braun on 29 April as the Red Army closed in on the Reich Chancellery. The final assault on Berlin begins overnight when Soviet forces launch a powerful artillery. Ambiguities surrounded Hitler’s death from the moment it was announced, which were always likely to attract conspiracy theorists. The most persistent of these theories is the questioning of the cause of Hitler’s death.
Eyewitness accounts of the last days of Adolf Hitler, gathered by MI5 interrogators following the end of the war, argue that the Nazi leader died in 1945, as widely accepted. However, conspiracy theories about him live on, raising questions about what happened to Hitler’s body. The theory that the German dictator followed his fellow Nazis Adolf Eichmann and Josef Mengele to South America is now being debated.
