Hitler moves to bunker in Berlin
"I want to say goodbye to you." New details of Hitler's suicide
At the end of April 2022, the FSB of Russia published an archive on the suicide at the end of April 1945 of the founder of Nazi Germany, the chairman of the NSDAP (National Socialist German Workers' Party) Adolf Hitler. We are talking about documents from the investigation case against Hitler's former personal pilot, SS Gruppenführer, police lieutenant general Hans Baur, which is stored in the FSB department in the Novgorod region.
As Baur told during interrogation by the Soviet special services, until the very end of April 1945, Hitler's close entourage, who was with him in the bunker of the Reich Chancellery in Berlin, did not know the final intentions of the head of Nazi Germany. However, it was clear that Hitler was very old, sank and practically did not leave his room, the ex-pilot said.
Only on April 30 [1945] in the afternoon did he call me along with my adjutant Colonel Betz. Hitler met me in the front and led me to his room. He gave me a hand and said: "Baur, I want to say goodbye to you, I want to thank you for all the years of service," Baur recalls. |
According to the FSB, Adolf Hitler wanted to present a beloved painting to the former pilot - a portrait of King Frederick the Great by the artist Rembrandt, which hung in his room. Hans Baur tried to dissuade Adolf Hitler from suicide, "for then everything will fall apart in a few hours."
My soldiers can't and don't want to hold on anymore. I can't take it anymore, "the Führer replied. |
According to the FSB, from the testimony of eyewitnesses it followed that Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun, who had married him the day before, committed suicide on April 30, 1945, and on May 1 they were followed by Joseph and Magda Goebbels, who had previously killed six of their children, whose corpses Soviet soldiers found in a bunker.
On May 13, 1945, employees of the Smersh counterintelligence department in the garden of the Reich Chancellery discovered the bodies of Adolf Hitler and his wife Eva Braun, the authenticity of which was confirmed during numerous examinations, according to materials released by the FSB.[1]
FSB declassified documents with details of Hitler's suicide. His jaw is stored in Russia
On April 30, 2025, the Federal Security Service (FSB) of Russia published digital copies of declassified documents that contain information about the circumstances of the suicide of the leader of Nazi Germany Adolf Hitler. Fragments of his teeth are stored in Russia - they were transported to Moscow in 1948 in the form of material evidence.
According to the FSB, on April 30, 1945, units of the Red Army began fighting in Berlin in the area of the government quarter and the imperial chancellery, in an underground shelter (the so-called "Führerbunker"), in which the Reich Chancellor Adolf Hitler and his entourage were hiding. On the same day, the Nazi Führer and his wife committed suicide by taking potassium cyanide. The next day, Hitler's propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels and his wife Magda, also in the "Führerbunker," committed suicide, having previously poisoned their six children.
To search for Nazi war criminals in Berlin under the Directorate of Counterintelligence (UKR) "Smersh" of the 1st Belorussian Front, the Central Operational Group was created. Search activities in the German capital were carried out by employees of the investigative unit of the Intelligence Department of the headquarters of the 1st Belorussian Front, the investigation department of the Intelligence Department of the General Staff of the Red Army (RU GS KA) and employees of the counterintelligence departments (ROC) Smersh of the 3rd Shock Army and 79th Rifle Corps, as well as the UKR Smersh of the 1st Belorussian Front.
In particular, on May 5, 1945, in the garden of the imperial chancellery, employees of the Smersh ROC found badly burned corpses of a man and a woman in a funnel from an aerial bomb, which were three meters from the entrance to the bomb shelter. Three days later, the conclusion of a forensic examination of the corpse of a man allegedly belonging to Hitler was ready. Including experts carefully studied "jaws with a large number of artificial bridges, crowns and seals." On May 10, 1945, Hitler's assistant personal dentist, Professor Hugo Blaschke, was interrogated in the dental office of the Reich Chancellery - Kete Goizerman. On May 11, dental technician Fritz Echtman, who made dentures for Hitler, testified.
Both witnesses gave detailed descriptions of Hitler's teeth from memory. The characteristic signs of bridges, crowns and dental fillings exactly coincided with the records in the dental dental record and X-rays available to Smersh investigators. Each of them was separately presented to identify the jaws seized from the male skull. Goizerman and Echtman did not hesitate to admit that the jaws belong to Reich Chancellor Adolf Hitler, - said in the materials of the FSB.[2] |
