Give it up…his teeth were identified by his dentist and dental charts.
At around 10 p.m. on Saturday, April 28, 1945, the Soviets were only about 550 yards from the bunker. To make matters worse, Hitler learned that Heinrich Himmler, his head of the SS, had betrayed him and was trying to negotiate peace with the Americans.
Because of this, Hitler flew into a rage, and, according to von Loringhoven, ordered Himmler’s representative in the bunker, Gen. Fegelein, to be shot. Gen. Fegelein also happened to be Eva Braun’s brother-in-law to her pregnant sister, and even though Braun begged for his life to be spared, Hitler refused.
That night, Hitler began detailing his last will and political testament to Traudl—that the Jews caused the war, for his body to be cremated, for his people to continue the fight after he dies, and that, due to her steadfast loyalty and willingness to die with him, he’ll finally marry Eva Braun, whom he’d been romancing since 1932.
“He dictated it to me the night of April 28,” Traudl told Musmanno. “And I must frankly say that the will was really disappointing. I had thought that in it he would try to justify what he has done and why Germany found itself in its present situation so that he might offer to show some way out of our horrible tragedy, but he repeated the same old arguments he had used over and over in all his speeches.”
One hour after Gen. Fegelein’s execution, at around 1 a.m. on Sunday, April 29, Eva Braun emerged in a black dress alongside Hitler in his standard tunic, and, with Goebbels serving as best man, they declared that they were both of pure Aryan descent and free of hereditary disease—requirements in a Nazi wedding—before being pronounced husband and wife.
“He married Eva Braun and prepared for his suicide,” recalled Lorenz. “There was a little party and they drank champagne. Hitler did not drink any champagne because he was dictating his will.”
Meanwhile, Hitler had become quite paranoid.“He was depressed and suspicious of everybody. He even now suspected that the poison would only make him unconscious and he’d be turned over alive to the Allies, so he decided to test the poison,” said von Loringhoven.
And who did he test it on? “On his best friend, Blondi,” said von Loringhoven, referring to Hitler’s dog. “The dog died.”
That evening, the sewer pipes in the bunker ruptured, filling the rooms with the smell of urine. And at 10 p.m., Hitler heard a British radio program broadcast the death of Mussolini, whose corpse was hung upside down on meat hooks in Milan’s Piazzale Loreto, where it was subsequently stoned by onlookers.
At 1 p.m. on Monday, April 30, and with the Soviet forces just 220 yards away, Traudl recalled having lunch with Hitler and Braun. “Everybody could feel the presence of death,” she said. Since Hitler was a vegetarian, his and Braun’s last meal is spaghetti with cabbage and raisin salad.
… Traudl recalled seeing Hitler for the last time.
“Here I saw Hitler with Eva Braun on his arm giving his final farewell,” Traudl said, adding she was the last person besides Braun to hold his hand. …
According to Artur Axmann, leader of the Hitler Youth, “I went to [Hitler’s] room, but the door was closed. His SS adjutant [Otto Günsche] was standing outside. He motioned me to silence, and I went back to the conference room and waited.”Then, at approximately 3:30 p.m., Axmann returned. “Goebbels and I went back to Hitler’s room and entered it. We found Eva Braun sitting on the sofa, her head resting on Hitler’s left shoulder. She wore a black chiffon dress. She was dead, but had no marks of violence on her body. She died on poison.”He added, “Hitler’s lower jaw was slightly discarded. It was obvious he had shot himself in the mouth. On either side of his temples I saw drops of blood. The blanks of the pistol had ruptured the veins on either side of his head. The sofa was stained with blood, and his pistol lay at his feet. I remained with the corpses about 10 minutes, then I returned to the conference room, and at this point saw Hitler’s and Eva Braun’s bodies being carried out of the bunker.”
At 4 p.m., Erich Kempka, Hitler’s longtime chauffeur, carried Braun’s body outside of the bunker and into the garden behind the Reich Chancellery..
“I turned over Eva Braun’s body to Günsche and he laid it down next to Hitler’s corpse,” said Kempka. “We then picked up the cans and poured gasoline over both bodies.”
Because the site was being hit by Soviet artillery shells, the group stepped back a bit from the bodies. “We had to take shelter in the concrete entrance to the bunker,” recalled Kempka. “Here, Günsche lit the rag and threw it to the bodies. Both bodies burned full-flame when I left.”
Hermann Karnau, a bunker guard, was tasked with watching funeral pyre—and by 6:15 p.m., he’d watched the bodies burn for two hours.
