On April 30, 1945, at about 15:00 Berlin time, in his personal two-story bunker, Adolf Hitler said goodbye to his entourage and, together with his newly minted wife, Eva Braun, went to his office, from where the sound of a shot was heard.
Those who entered the room saw the meter-high leader, and next to him was the body of his wife. After that, two guards wrapped the bodies in blankets and carried them outside. There they were doused with gasoline and burned.
The remains of the fascist leaders fell into the hands of Soviet officers and after a thorough medical examination, which left no shadow of doubt, that Hitler and Eva Braun were in front of them, were interred in Magdeburg on the territory of a military base. In 1970, by order of Andropov, the remains were burned, and the ashes were thrown into the Elbe. Several fragments of Hitler's body are still kept in Moscow: a part of the skull, dentures and sofa arms with traces of his blood.
But why did the Fuhrer commit suicide? Couldn't he come to terms with the Americans?
Who brought the Fuhrer to power
According to the historian Yevgeny Spitsyn, the Americans brought the Fuhrer to power - the financial tycoons and industrialists of the Morgana, Vaiburgs, Rothschilds and Rockefellers. Their plans were to make Germany a fist directed against Russia. Since 1931, through the Bank for International Settlements, they began to buy up shares in German enterprises. Soon, about three hundred German companies were under American control. All oil refining belonged to Rockefeller's Standard Oil, Volkswagen was controlled by Ford.
In 1932, the USSR completed the first five-year plan. About five thousand new enterprises were built, the country was undergoing industrialization. All of this was happening against the backdrop of an economic downturn in the United States. It was then that the American tycoons brought Hitler to power, who began the construction of the Reich.

Doctor of Historical Sciences Yuri Rubtsov generally suggests that all the cash flows going to the Nazis were controlled by US intelligence.
So why did not Hitler turn to his patrons at the end of the war?
Most likely, because the financial interests and interests of states in this case diverged. Neither ordinary Americans nor the British would understand the leadership if it openly supported the Nazis, about whose atrocities everyone had already heard.
The Fuhrer himself was no longer needed by anyone: the Americans had their own completely mercantile goals, and Hitler understood this perfectly.
It was not possible to agree
At the beginning of 1944, the intelligence services of the United States and Great Britain believed that by the spring the USSR would be exhausted, having completely exhausted its resources. The allies were preparing a multi-move: they hoped that the German leadership would make a coup and make peace with them. Perhaps they even saw this as an opportunity to unite with Germany against the USSR.
Miraculously surviving the assassination attempt, the Fuhrer unwittingly thwarted the plans of the Americans.
The second attempt to make peace was in March 1945, when Himmler tried to negotiate with the American spy Alain Dulles. The negotiations were thwarted by Soviet intelligence. But immediately after that, the Germans began to surrender to the Americans, hoping that they would take Berlin. But the Red Army was faster.
Nowhere to run
So, after the assassination attempt, Hitler could not count on patrons. The only place he could escape to was Argentina. However, it was impossible to reach its shores on a submarine without the consent of the United States, which probed the entire Atlantic with radars. And the Fuhrer's state of health was such that he could simply die on the road. During the four years of the war with the USSR, he turned into a sick old man, with a nervous tic and shaking hands. He did not part with the cane and could not walk more than twenty meters. He did not believe anyone, considering everyone around him as conspirators, and this state reached mania by the spring of 1945. To reach the cherished Argentina, you had to trust too many people.
Not captive
In moments of revelation, Hitler said that he was afraid not so much of death as captivity. Fear of the Soviets became a phobia. There was no one to trust: on April 20, his last confidants fled from Berlin. On April 24, Himmler independently tried to negotiate a surrender with the Americans. The day before his death, Hitler learned about the fate of Mussolini and realized that he had only one way out - suicide.
Trapped
On April 24, 1945, the Soviet army surrounded Berlin. The pilot Hannah Reich managed to fly over Berlin twice, but the pilots who tried to repeat it did not return. In the bunker, one could hear the Soviet artillery at work in the city. It was impossible to escape, and Hitler decided to commit suicide.
Now every now and then there are hypotheses that he nevertheless escaped justice, having gone either to South America or to Antarctica, but they all break on the materials of the examination of the bodies of Hitler and Eva Braun. Vasily Khristoforov, the head of the FSB's registration and archival funds, has repeatedly stated that there is no doubt about Hitler's death. Since 1954, all documents: interrogation protocols and expert examination reports, as well as material evidence are in the special storehouse of the Central Archive of the FSB of Russia. They have been open to the public since 1996.
The last time the remains of the Fuhrer were examined by the forensic medical expert Beneke (Germany), who concluded that in front of him were indeed fragments of the jaw of Adolf Hitler.
