"Where is Hitler buried?" – unanswered question
Madam History often surprises people. The lion's share of the reasons for their appearance lies in the reluctance of a small group of people (most often representing the interests of the authorities) to share information with a wide circle of people (for example, society). Because the question: "Where is Hitler's grave?" - is still open to historians.
Official version
According to the results of the official investigation conducted by the SMRESH employees of the 3rd Shock Army (whose soldiers attacked and took the Reichstag), on April 30, 1945, German leader Adolf Hitler and his wife Eva Braun committed suicide at 15:30. The bodies of the dead were doused with gasoline, burned and buried in the garden.
Four days later, their remains were dug up by Soviet soldiers. In the Berlin morgue, where it was decided to store the corpses, investigative measures were taken. By comparing the data of Hitler's dentist and the jaw of the deceased, the investigators confidently stated that the deceased was indeed Adolf Hitler.
However, even now the official authorities refuse to give an exact answer to the question: "Where is Hitler buried?", referring to state secrets. Counts,that the Fuhrer's remains are in Moscow: the jaw is in the FSB archive, and part of the skull is in the State Archives.
Disposal of remains
Historians, based on documents from the declassified archives of the MGB-KGB-FSB, have at least seven places where Hitler is buried. The fact is that the secret services, under pressure from the political elite, constantly transferred the remains of Hitler, Eva Braun and the Goebbels family from place to place. They were last buried in a military camp near Magdeburg, Germany.
However, in 1970, on the orders of the then chief of the KGB Andropov, on the night of April 4-5, a task force conducted an autopsy of the burial. Moreover, everything happened with the knowledge of the Soviet leadership and in complete secrecy. The exhumation was preceded by serious preliminary preparations, and observation posts were even set up.
The excavated remains were brought to a nearby landfill, ground to dust, burned and scattered ashes to the wind.
Unofficial version of where Hitler is buried
Adherents of the unofficial version believe that in 1945, the twins of the German leader and his wife died in Berlin. The difference in the testimonies of the prisoners and information about the nine-month operation of the Soviet special services in Germany to search for Hitler give reason to doubt the correctness of the official version.
Some researchers write in their books that Hitler "paid off" the allies, transferring to them an amount equal to now 100 billion dollars, and German developments in the field of rocket science andnuclear fusion. In return, he and many other Germans (a figure of 100,000 is given) were allowed to flee to Argentina and live there until 1964. It was in this year that the Fuhrer died and was buried in an unknown place. There is still no exact and unambiguous answer. It's safe to say that many people have made a lot of money and fame from yet another "investigation of the century".
Hitler's Books
Adolf was not as educated as Stalin, therefore, from the cultural heritage he left behind only "Mein Kampf" ("My Struggle") - a book with a lot of grammatical errors and calling for "racial cleansing" and the like.
Until January 1, 2016, the copyright for this book belongs to the state government of Bavaria. If certain provisions of the relevant documents are not revised, it will continue to receive income from sales of the book. On the territory of Russia, the book has been officially banned since 2010. US residents buy more than 60,000 copies of a book written by Hitler every year.
