On April 28, 1945, the Soviet Red Army stormed the city of Berlin. Knowing that his end had come, Hitler decided to commit suicide with his wife, Eva Braun. Hitler held a final meeting with some of his loyal followers in his bunker, and he announced his will, appointing Field Marshal Karl Dönitz as his heir. Hitler also donated all his personal property to the Nazi Party.
At 3:30 p.m. on April 30, Hitler and Eva Braun returned to their bedroom. Hitler first took a cyanide pill and then committed suicide with a gun. Eva Braun also took a cyanide pill. Their bodies were wrapped in blankets by Nazi *** soldiers, then carried to the bunker's garden, doused with gasoline and burned. At that time, the Soviet Red Army had already stormed the vicinity of the bunker, and they found the burning body, but could not identify whom. Later, the Soviet Red Army approached the assistant of the dentist of Hitler and Eva Braun, who recognized Hitler's teeth. In this way, the Soviet Red Army confirmed Hitler's death.
After Hitler's death, Nazi Germany surrendered very quickly. World War II also ended in Europe. However, Hitler's influence did not disappear. His racist and anti-Semitic ideas remain deeply ingrained in the minds of some. His Nazi Party was also not completely dissolved, and some Nazis continued their terrorist activities after the war. His crimes were not completely cleared either, and some Nazi war criminals escaped trial or received light sentences after the war.
Hitler was an extremely complex and contradictory figure, he had both a genius side and a crazy side. He was both a politician and an artist. He was both an aggressor and a victim. He is both a demon and a tragedy. His life has brought great disasters to mankind and left a profound lesson for mankind.
This was Hitler's last moments, a crazy and tragic end. What do you think of Hitler? Welcome to leave a message in the comment area and discuss with me!
