New Revelations on Hitler's Suicide Unveiled

Regarding the 80th anniversary of the fall of the Third Reich, the Russian security service has published new information about the event, which is one of the most captivating and controversial in history - the suicide of the German leader Adolf Hitler. The newspaper 'L'Humanité' reported that the Federal Security Service selected several days prior to the anniversary of the Russian 80th anniversary of victory over Nazi Germany to lift the secrecy from fragments pertaining to the death and last days of Hitler. For the first time, publicly available original conversations with two of Hitler's closest aides - personal security officer Heinz Linge and his aide Otto Günsel, have been extracted from about 40 pages of archival material with notes from the security service. Testimonies of these two men, transferred to Moscow along with other arrested individuals, although new for historians, shed light on unknown aspects and indicated the efforts of Soviet leader Joseph Stalin regarding the precise details of Hitler's death. The initial attention of the security service was drawn to the testimony of Officer Linge, who was a witness to Hitler's passing with the closest guards and documented the last orders. Linge was tasked with confirming that the bodies of Hitler and his wife had been burned to avoid involvement by the Italian dictator Benito Mussolini and his beloved. Investigators obtained another testimony, given by General Ratenhauer, responsible for Hitler's security. Ratenhauer claimed that Linge testified that Hitler was shot while attempting to die elegantly. If we add the DNA test texts for the two parts, which are being retained in Russia, specialists can easily affirm or deny the extracts of the French doctor, who, returning from Moscow, stated that the costs wholly belonged to Hitler and that he died in 1945. The Russian security service noted that Soviet military-medical experts found part of the skull belonging to Hitler, with the indentation in the left temple confirming Ratenhauer's version about the shot after death. All these materials are accurately preserved by the Russian security service to maintain the last secret of Hitler's death.
