When the Soviet Union fell, records were disclosed that revealed the general whereabouts of HItler and Eva Braun's bodies. The Red Army found the remains of Hitler, his wife, and his dogs. They took them and tossed them in a hole and covered them with dirt just outside of Berlin.

The two bodies ( from Hitler and Eva Braun) were carried to a small, bombed-out garden outside the bunker complex (where they had commited sucide), where they were doused with petrol and set alight by members of Hitler's personal SS bodyguard.
The SS guards later noted the fire did not completely destroy the corpses, but Soviet shelling of the bunker compound made further cremation attempts impossible and the remains were later covered up in a shallow bomb crate.
On May 2 1945 the remains of Hitler, Braun and two dogs (thought to be Blondi and her offspring Wulf) were discovered in a shell crater by Ivan Churakov of the 79th Rifle Corps (Commonly referred to as 79th SMERSH).
After the autopsy their remains were frequently buried and exhumed by SMERSH during the unit's relocation from Berlin to a new facility at 30-32 Klausnerstrasse in Magdeburg where they (along with the charred remains of propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels, his wife Magda and their six children) were permanently buried in an unmarked grave beneath a paved section of the front courtyard and the location was kept highly secret.
By 1970 the SMERSH facility (now controlled by the KGB) was scheduled to be handed over to the East German government.
Keen to destroy any possibility Hitler's burial site might become a Neo-Nazi shrine, KGB director Yuri Andropov authorised a special operation to destroy the remains. On April 4, 1970 a Soviet KGB team (who had been given detailed burial charts) secretly exhumed the bodies and thoroughly burned them before dumping the ashes in the Elbe river.

It was burned. Some pieces ended up with the Soviets.
Discovery/History Channel did a special a few months ago. They did a DNA analysis on the remains and used Hitler's brother or half-brother living in Long Island, NY. It was a match.

In addition to what Stephen said, I believe that the Russians found the burned remains. Hitler was identified by dental records, I believe.

Nobody knows. In fact, some people believe in a theory that Hitler did not commit suicide and escaped to another part of the world, like Argentina.

They were burnt by his guards. But some fragments remained which the russians took to Moscow.

I remember one of my teachers told me that no body actually knows and that some people belive was actually frozen somewhere by his followers so that he could be brought to live again when science found the receipe to life. It sound like a load of crap to me.
