HITLER COMMITS SUICIDE APRIL 20th 1945 Although for some time the suject of controversy, the release of new material from non-communist Russia has now proved beyond easonable doubt that Adolf Hitler and his wife Eva Hitler (nee Braun) committed joint suicide in the Berlin Bunker during the closing stages of the Battle for Berlin. Hitler had vowed he would not fall alive into Russian hands. The wherabouts of the remains are still a mystery and are being kept so to prevent the burial place becoming a shrine for the growing neo-nazi movement in Germany.
