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

The general consensus is that after committing suicide, his body was cremated and the ashes were buried in an unmarked shell crater near the bunker by his associates. The exact location remains unknown. Other claims, such as the Russians having recovered the corpse, have never been substantiated. Fragments of a skull claimed to be Hitler's were displayed in 2000, but their origin remains in dispute.

Answer 4

I don't for a moment believe that you are 10 years old or in "year 10" and studying Adolf Hitler. Hitler is rarely studied in the public school system anywhere in the US at any level. Be that as it may, what remained of Hitler's corpse after it was burned by his personal SS guards, was likely collected by the Soviet military and shipped back to Josef Stalin in a box. For the same reason that George Bush has ordered that the head of Osama Bin Laden be sent to him in a box, when they finally nail the guy. Hitler was most afraid that he would be captured and shipped to Stalin in a cage. But in any case, during the final few weeks, Hitler was on some serious drugs and out of it most of the time, when he wasn't wildly delusional. I know, this is a lot of information to digest for a "year-10-year-old", but try. And for heaven's sake, learn to spell!!!!!!

Answer 5

My guess is Paraguay on land that was recently acquired by the Bush family. Contrary to popular belief, Hitler lived to ripe old age of 88 years old and very much enjoyed South America.

Answer 6

In a few cases, a murder's body is buried in an unmarked grave, and I'm talking about America.

So, Hitler's grave site is unknown. For one, some would try to exhume his remains (in a ceremony of humiliation). Others, like Neo Nazis, would visit the site to revere him, so it's better that we don't know where he is/was.

Answer 7

I concur with Neill, above. Just one extra small point to ponder, if its true. Just before the remains were taken away a top Russian anthropologist supposedly secreted the skull away, (for future study) replacing it with another of an 'unknown'.

Answer 8

He was buried by his guards in the garden of the Chancellery in Berlin where his remains were dug up and taken to Moscow by thr Russians

Answer 9

hitlers body and that of his lover were taken away and buried at an unknown location just hours before the russian army stormed his bunker. some conpiracy theorist say he did'nt die because of the lack of body.

Answer 10

The russians have his bone.
