Hitler's remains

What happened to Hitler's remains after burning? jck 16-Jan-2004

See Hitler's death which goes into quite a bit of detail about all this. It seems they may well have (eventually) ended up in the Elbe in 1970. — Trilobite (Talk) 22:12, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)

The events in the bunker and the fate of Hitler and his body are well described in this documentary.

The bodies (Hitler & Braun) were burned and charred but certainly not "cremated". Pzzp (talk) 16:22, 16 December 2018 (UTC)

The bodies were burned to the point where it was much more than just "burned and charred" bodies; but with that said, the remains were not burned to the point that all that was left was basic chemical compounds. As for the old documentary on youtube you link, good in its day for a TV series, but, please don't go citing to it in the article or it will be removed accordingly, per WP:V and WP:RS.

I never intended to cite the video in the article since I cannot vouch for the accuracy of its details, only that the combined statements of the various people interviewed suggest an incomplete combustion.Pzzp (talk) 18:30, 17 December 2018 (UTC)

Fake photo

Why lead with a fake-colorized photo when the original, documentary, black-and-white version is available? 2A02:AA1:1610:2CE4:8020:7637:4BFE:9E64 (talk) 09:01, 6 July 2023 (UTC)

Somone colorized the photo at the Commons. I have reverted that change. You migh still see the colorized version for a while if you are being served a cached version. Thanks for the alert. — Diannaa (talk) 11:29, 6 July 2023 (UTC)

"3-D" map of the bunker

I don't see what makes this 3D. It has perspective. These days, I expect something listed as "3-D" to be something you can move around with your mouse. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Parmadil (talk • contribs) 18:16, 19 December 2025 (UTC)

It is apparently a still from a DVD that had 3-dimensional images. We don't see that, so I have removed "3D". Thanks for the suggestion.— Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 15:39, 20 December 2025 (UTC)

Lev Bezymenski author death of Adolf Hitler

Published 1968 from Soviet archives are the autopsies of Hitler, Braun Krebs, Goebells.The reference is not included in the Footnotes. (Topic Furherbunker) . The Book alludes to death of Hitler by cyanide capsule only. The description does not suggest bullet to the Right temple. The right temporal bone is not described forensically , the left is intact , hence no contra coup injury. The Russian evidence implies biting on cyanide ampoule and shooting oneself similtanously are incompatible. The same result follows for Krebs ( no gunshot wound ). The Book suggests the stories of "shooting oneself " is fictional but invented to suggest this was expected of a "manly leader". Soviet documents translated do not confirm any bullets were used on Hitler or Krebs. ANDREW GIBSON (talk) 23:32, 31 December 2025 (UTC)

First this article is not specifically about Hitler’s death. Second, but for the jaw bone fragments discovered and analyzed, the book you cite has been debunked as Soviet propaganda. The author himself admitted years later that he lied about certain points and followed what the KGB and Soviet officials would allow and wanted at the time the book was published. I’m not gonna rehash it all here as there are articles, such as Death of Adolf Hitler that cover it. No reason to include the book herein. Kierzek (talk) 00:05, 1 January 2026 (UTC)
