where did they put his body?

[Carol Anne]

Hitler was determined that his remains would not fall into the hands of the allies, especially the Russians,as he was mindful that the corpse of Mussolini had been strung upside down by piano wire in the streets. After his suicide his body was taken out into the garden of the bunker by his aides, placed in a shallow pit and burned with petrol. On arrival, the Russians combed the area for evidence of his remains and claimed to have found at least a fragment of Hitlers skull with the fatal bullet hole. I beleive this artefact is still held in an archive in Moscow.

As Soviet troops battled their way in street-to-street combat towards the Reich Chancellory in the centre of the city, Hitler committed suicide in the F�hrerbunker on 30 April 1945, in Berlin by means of a self-delivered shot to the head (it is likely he simultaneously bit into a cyanide ampoule). Hitler's body and that of Eva Braun, (his long-term mistress whom he had married the day before), were partially burned with petrol by Fuhrerbunker aides, and hastily buried shortly thereafter in the Chancellory garden with Russian shells pouring down from all directions, and with Russian infantry less than a few hundred meters away.

When Russian forces reached the Chancellory, they later exhumed his body and an autopsy was performed, using dental records (and German dental assistants who were familiar with them) to confirm the identification. To avoid any possibility of creating a potential shrine, the remains of Hitler and Braun were repeatedly moved, then secretly buried by SMERSH (Soviet Intelligence Agents) at their new headquarters in Magdeburg. In April 1970, when the facility was about to be turned over to the East German government, the remains were reportedly exhumed, thoroughly cremated, and the ashes finally dumped unceremoniously into the River Elbe.

put it?

They didnt PUT IT anywhere.

It was burnt outside the chancellery and then the bones were carted back to Russia.

Lots and lots of programmes about this. keep you occupied for hours.

........ if you carefully examine the plan here you can see exactly where the body was burned. Here is the man himself before then - his ability to sway a crowd has never been equalled .......
