The end of the war was in sight in Berlin on April 30, 1945.
Soviet troops were closing in on Adolf Hitler’s position, a well-stocked bunker located 55 feet underneath the chancellery in the capital city. Aiming to avoid capture at all costs, Hitler and Eva Braun, his wife of two days, retreated to their private quarters in the afternoon, ingested cyanide capsules, and, after ordering the death of their dogs, shot themselves in the head.
German soldiers later took the corpses outside and burned them. They were following written orders left by Hitler, who wanted to make it impossible for detractors to defile his corpse like the Italians had done to Mussolini.
