Where is Hitler Buried?Is he buried ?What did they dow ith his body?

Answer 1

A. Can't give you a definitive answer on this. There are so many contradictions and counter-claims that it's difficult to say with any certainty. However, the most probable answer is Magdeburg in East Germany.



Q. What happened, then?

A. As the Allies advanced on Berlin, Adolf Hitler married his loyal mistress, Eva Braun, in a civil ceremony in his bunker under the Reich Chancellory on 29 April, 1945. The next day at 3.30pm, they took cyanide from glass vials. Hitler also shot himself in the head with a 7.65mm Walther pistol.



Q. Their funeral?

A. A handful of remaining staff wrapped their bodies in grey army blankets and carried them into the Chancellery garden and placed them in a shell crater. Petrol was poured over them and set on fire.



Q. But the remains didn't remain there?

A. No. The charred corpses were discovered by advancing Soviet troops and were shipped to Moscow for tests that confirmed their identity. After the post-mortem examinations, Hitler and Braun - as well as propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels, whose body was found nearby - were reportedly buried in a series of locations including Buch, Finow and Rathenau, all in East Germany.



Q. And there they stayed?

A. Wrong again. In February, 1946, the bodies were again moved to Smersh headquarters in Magdeburg.



Q. Smersh?

A. A Soviet counter-espionage organisation, its name an abbreviation of its motto smert shpionam (death to spies). Anyhow...



Q. Yes, back to the bodies.

A. They were moved one last time in 1970 on the orders of KGB chief Yuri Andropov, later Soviet leader. All the bodies were reduced to ashes and dumped into a nearby tributary of the Danube.



Q. Any evidence for this?

A. Yes. The man who did the deed came forward in May, 2001, to say what happened. Vladimir Gumenyuk, former Red Army officer, said he followed an order from Moscow to dig up the Führer's remains, take them out into the countryside, burn and scatter them. Gumenyuk, now 64 and deputy manager of a hotel in the Urals, is the only survivor of the three-man squad ordered by the Kremlin to get rid of Hitler's corpse.



Q. So what did he do?

A. On the night of 4 April, 1970, Gumenyuk and his companions went to the undisclosed location and dug up a crate containing the bodies. They loaded them on to a jeep and drove to the countryside at dawn - with fishing rods displayed prominently as if they were going for a day's angling. At a remote spot near a river, they poured petrol over the crates and set them alight. He then gathered the ashes into a canvas rucksack and took it up a nearby hill. 'I opened up the rucksack, the wind caught the ashes up in a little brown cloud, and in a second they were gone,' Gumenyuk recalled.



Q. So where did this all happen?

A. That secret will die with Gumenyuk. 'There are still too many neo-Nazis around,' he told Russia's NTV television. 'There would be pilgrimages. They'd even put up a monument.'



Q. That's the end of Hitler, then?

A. Apparently not. The Russians still have a skull fragment of the evil dictator. It was put on display last year as part of an exhibition in Moscow called The Agony of the Third Reich - Retribution. Also on display were items recovered from the bunker and long held by the secret police: a gold cigarette case discoloured by fire, a kit for testing air quality and fragments of a blood-stained couch from Hitler's study. The skull fragment is small, with jagged edges, signs of charring and an obvious bullet hole. It was found in the Chancellery garden in 1946 and probably fell off the corpse as it was removed.

Answer 2

After Hitler committed suicide his remains, and those of Eva Braun where placed in a small shell crater close to the entrance to the bunker and set on fire using petrol. This cremation was not very successful and some hours later the corpse's were buried were they lay. This was done under sporadic heavy shell fire so was not done properly. We know this because there are many credible witness accounts to it. The Russians never stormed the bunker because they had no idea where it was. They stormed the Reichstag, which was the German parliment but had been purely symbolic since Hitler suspended it in the early thirties. The bunker was built in secret under the Reichs Chancellery, a new building which few people realised the significance off. The first russian troops reported in the bunker were some 3 days after the suicide and were female troops, looting. This is the testomony of the engineer of the bunker who stayed behind to keep pumps running to provide water for a field hospital in the chancellery itself. The Russians were desperate to find Hitlers body, and eventually disintered all the corpses in the area of the bunker, and using Hitlers dentist, identified his corpse. This was kept in Smersh/ KGB compunds throughout Germany until the early 70's when Andropov, the future soviet leder, became head of the KGB. He discovered that Hitlers remains where still held, and ordered them cremated and the ashes scattered into the river Elbe in then East Germany. The facts leading up to Hitlers cremation and burial at the bunker are verifyable by witness statments. After that it becomes the world of secret service, and cloak & dagger, so its not verifyable. However this is what most historians accept as the probable outcome.

Answer 3

In the late days of the war in 1945, the Russians were literally marching on top of Hitler's underground bunker in Berlin. Hitler decided that Stalin would strip him naked and put him on display at the Moscow Zoo (I'm not making this up--I got it off the History Channel), and decided that that wasn't a very appealing prospect. Subsequently, he decided that he would kill himself would be a better prospect. He married his mistress Eva Braun on April 29, 1945, and committed suicide the next day. He asked his personal doctor what the best way to die would be, and he said that a gunshot to the head and cyanide would be best. Being paranoid, Hitler worried that the cyanide wasn't really poisonous, so he tested it on his dog before he used it to kill himself and his mistress. Their bodies were burned, and the Soviets reportedly took the ashes to their headquarters and kept them there until 1970, where they were reportedly dumped into the Elbe River. I got everything except for the part about the ashes from a History Channel special. The facts about the ashes are from Wikipedia.

Answer 4

After his death, his body was taken in to compare to his dental records, and thus revealed it was really the body of Hitler, however, after that, Hitlers body became un-accounted for.
In 1992, it was revealed what happened to his body; In the 1970s his body ashs were taken by several KGB agents and scattered at a unknown location in some woods in Magdeburg, Germany.

Nobody knows where the exact location is, and for all we know, they could REALLY be sitting in some rich guys personal underground museum.

Answer 5

Well the mistery has just now been solved. They actually have hitlers teeth and skull with a bullet hole in the archives. We have just recently got access to the archives. They supposedly burned him then buried him over and over again. Finally they took his ashes and threw them in a river. The place he commited suicide is now bulldozed over and is just a parking lot. Hardly recognizable as anything but the average.

Answer 6

HERES A WEB SITE THAT TALKS ABOUT THE CONTOVERSY ON WHERE HITLERS BODY IS...http://www.coverups.com/hitler/body.htm AND HERE IS ANOTHER SITE...http://www.stormfront.org/solargeneral/library/www.fpp.co.uk/Hitler/docs/death/HitlerSkull.html.....MAYBE THIS WILL HELP ANSWER YOUR QUESTION

Answer 7

I think that there is still some controversy over hitler's death. The man went into hiding...and by most accounts was not ever seen again. If what I was taught in high school is true..it was rumored that he hid in another country with one of his many mistresses.... He's got to be dead by now.
Even if he did have a grave I don't think I would waste my urine by pissing on it!!!

Answer 8

By the end of 1944, the Red Army had driven the last German troops from Soviet territory and began entering Central Europe. The western allies were also rapidly advancing into Germany. The Germans had lost the war from a military perspective, but Hitler allowed no negotiation with the Allied forces, and as a consequence the German military forces continued to fight. Hitler's stubbornness and defiance of military realities also allowed the continued mass killing of Jews and others to continue. He even issued the Nero Decree on March 19, 1945, ordering the destruction of what remained of German industry, communications and transport. However, Albert Speer, who was in charge of that plan, did not carry it out. (The Morgenthau Plan for postwar Germany, promulgated by the Allies, aimed at a similar deindustrialization.)

In April 1945, Soviet forces were at the outskirts of Berlin. Hitler's closest lieutenants urged him to flee to Bavaria or Austria to make a last stand in the mountains, but he seemed determined to either live or die in the capital. SS leader Heinrich Himmler tried on his own to inform the Allies (through the Swedish diplomat Count Folke Bernadotte) that Germany was prepared to discuss surrender terms. Meanwhile Hermann Göring sent a telegram from Bavaria in which he argued that since Hitler was cut off in Berlin, as Hitler's designated successor he should assume leadership of Germany. Hitler angrily reacted by dismissing both Himmler and Göring from all their offices and the party and declared them traitors.

After intense street-to-street combat, when Soviet troops were spotted within a block or two of the Reich Chancellory in the city centre, Hitler committed suicide in the Führerbunker on April 30, 1945 by means of a self-delivered shot to the head (it is likely he simultaneously bit into a cyanide ampoule). Hitler's body and that of Eva Braun (his long-term mistress whom he had married the day before) were put in a bomb crater, partially burned with gasoline by Führerbunker aides and hastily buried in the Chancellory garden as Russian shells poured down and Red Army infantry continued to advance only two or three hundred metres away. He also had his dog Blondi poisoned around the same time.

When Russian forces reached the Chancellory, they found his body and an autopsy was performed using dental records (and German dental assistants who were familiar with them) to confirm the identification. To avoid any possibility of creating a potential shrine, the remains of Hitler and Braun were repeatedly moved, then secretly buried by SMERSH at their new headquarters in Magdeburg. In April 1970, when the facility was about to be turned over to the East German government, the remains were reportedly exhumed, thoroughly cremated, and the ashes finally dumped unceremoniously into the Elbe. According to the Russian Federal Security Service, a fragment of human skull stored in its archives and displayed to the public in a 2000 exhibition came from the remains of Hitler's body uncovered by the Red Army in Berlin, and is all that remains of Hitler; however, the authenticity of the skull has been challenged by many historians and researchers.

At the time of Hitler's death, most of Germany's infrastructure and major cities were in ruins and he had left explicit orders to complete the destruction. Millions of Germans were dead with millions more wounded or homeless. In his will, he dismissed other Nazi leaders and appointed Grand Admiral Karl Dönitz as Reichspräsident (President of Germany) and Goebbels as Reichskanzler (Chancellor of Germany). However, Goebbels and his wife Magda committed suicide on 1 May 1945. On 7 May 1945, in Rheims, France, the German armed forces surrendered unconditionally to the Western Allies and on 8 May 1945, in Berlin to the Soviet Union thus ending the war in Europe and with the creation of the Allied Control Council on 5 June 1945, the Four Powers assumed "supreme authority with respect to Germany." Adolf Hitler's proclaimed Thousand Year Reich had lasted 12 years.

Answer 9

I think that his body was burned, but I'm not 100% sure about that.

Answer 10

he got burned up and the russians took what was left. it is a mystery what they did with the burned remains
