US EditionNewly declassified Russian files share first-hand details about Adolf Hitler's final moments
- On April 30, 2025, Russia's Federal Security Service released declassified documents revealing Adolf Hitler's suicide details in Berlin's Führerbunker in 1945.
- These files stem from Soviet-era archives, including testimonies of Hitler’s valet Heinz Linge and adjutant Otto Günsche, and forensic evidence confirming Hitler's death.
- The documents describe Hitler's mental collapse, refusal to surrender, cyanide poisoning, gunshot wound, and the subsequent cremation using petrol canisters prepared by Martin Bormann.
- Eyewitnesses positively identified the recovered jaw fragments as matching Hitler’s dental records, while Linge firmly asserted that Hitler did not have a look-alike, and that all potential exits had been secured by Soviet troops.
- The release refutes conspiracy theories alleging Hitler’s escape to South America and supports established historical accounts that his suicide marked the Nazi regime’s collapse.
