What year did Hitler kill himself and why?

Question

What year and why did Hitler kill himself?

Answer 1

1945. Because the Russian Army was closing in faster than the rest of the Allies. His Army was very brutal to the Russian People and Contintent during the war and if your a Nazi you did not want to be captured by the Russians

Answer 2

He killed himself in 1945 (the year WW2 ended) because Russia's Red Army was closing in on Berlin and he didn't want them to catch him alive.

In other words, Hitler was a coward and didn't want to face up to the mess he made.
