The
beginning was April 20, 1945, which the assault on Berlin by the Soviets was
imminent. The next day, Hitler had a discussion with his armament
minister, they both came to the conclusion that it would be better to end his
life as Führer.
But there was the danger that he would be captured alive. He
was afraid that his body might fall into the hands of his enemy to be
displayed as a trophy. He gave orders that his body should be cremated.
Also his mistress, Eva Braun, would die alongside him.
On April 30, Hitler
sent for Bormann and told him the time had come. He would shoot himself
that afternoon, and Eva Braun would also commit suicide. He wanted their
bodies to be burned with gasoline that his chauffeur would obtain.
Hitler
retreated behind the doors of his study, and Eva Braun followed him immediately.
Some 10
minutes later, the valet opened the door. They found Hitler and Eva Braun
sitting alongside on a small sofa. Hitler's head drooped lifelessly. Blood
dripped from a bullet hole in his right temple. His pistol lay by his
foot.
Within
minutes, the bodies of Adolf Hitler and his wife were wrapped in blankets.
The corpses were then lifted from the sofa and carried through the bunker and
into the garden.
Hitler's
personal adjutant, who had been commissioned with overseeing the burning of the
bodies, laid the bodies outside in the garden side by side in a suitable
spot that is close to the bunker. Suddenly, extremely hazardous and unceasing
rain of shells from the Soviet barrage continued to bombard the whole area.
Little remained of Hitler's and Eva's bodies. The intense bombardment that continued
for another 24 hours played its own part in destroying and scattering the
human remains.
When the Soviet victors arrived there on May 2, they
immediately began a vigorous search for the bodies. Nine days later, they
showed Fritz Echtmann, a dental technician who had worked for Hitler's dentist,
a cigar box containing part of a mandibular bone with two dental bridges
and one isolated dental bridge. Echtmann was able to identify from his records
the dental work of Hitler.
The
photographic document shown above was the upper arch gold
bridge with crowns and abutments, and a double cantilevered pontic at each end.
Also, shows several well preserved natural teeth in
the mandible.
Hitler's
dentist, Dr. Hugo Johannes Blaschke, who treated Hitler from 1934 to 1945. Later that
year, he was captured and questioned by U.S. Army officers. He described there
all Hitler's teeth characteristics and treatment history which were found to be
compatible with the examination.
On other hand, five x-rays found in the U.S. National Archives, taken by
Hitler's physicians which had been made in diagnosing of the sinus regions
(Figure

descriptions provided by Hitler's dentist.
