Hohenems wrote:It was my understanding that Hitler committed suicide and asked that his and Eva Braun's bodies be cremated to avoid either live capture by the Soviets or having things done to their bodies à la Mussolini and his mistress. I don't frankly see any reason to doubt that storyline. If anything, the report that the remains were definitively destroyed by the KGB in 1970 only corroborates that story.
Simply seems very reasonable to my mind that the above is accurate.
