I'm going to tack this here, as it is the Russians who allegedly found Hitler's remains:

Adolf Hitler's 'last bodyguard' reveals what happened in Nazi leader’s final minutes in the Berlin bunker

The bodyguard who was the first to lay eyes on Adolf Hitler’s dead body has described the last minutes of the Fuhrer’s life in intimate detail.

Rochus Misch, in a book to be published in English for the first time, explains how the Nazi leader said all soldiers were “released” from loyalty and that he wanted his body to be burned, before killing himself.

Mr Misch, who was the last surviving member of Hitler’s entourage when he died in Berlin aged 96 in 2013, also described how he walked in on mistress Eva Braun in a “flimsy nightie”.

The telephone operator was on the switchboard in Hitler’s bunker on 30 April, 1945, when General Keitel messaged in to say the army failed to break the Soviet encirclement in Berlin and that the end of the Second World War was inevitable.

Adolf Hitler is widely held responsible for up to 11 million Holocaust deaths and the Second World War which killed up to 80 million ...

  I wonder whether The Independent believes someone else may have been responsible.

Yeah, my Mother has memories of the Russians in WWII, they rolled in taking everything of value they could find and all the food they could steal, including the only milk cow thae had which was shot and only part of eaten while the rest was left to rot. But no fear they had even more memories in store for Hungary, and none of them better.
