After Hitler shot himself in his Berlin bunker on April 30, 1945, his body was taken outside by his staff, doused with gasoline and set ablaze along with the remains of his longtime companion, Eva Braun.

Soviet troops seized the remains when they captured the bunker. But what happened later has been shrouded in mystery and speculation.

Secret communications between Soviet counterintelligence units in Germany and the government in Moscow tell of repeated burials and exhumations of the remains, and of their final destruction by fire in 1970…

From my history classes, I vaguely remember that there were no traces of Fuhrer found. It was a real eye opener to me when I found out yesterday (on Discovery) that Hitler’s skull indeed existed but was hid from the world by russians until very late when they finally opened their vaults to the public.
