00:00In April 1945, the fall of Berlin marked the final collapse of the Third Reich.
00:07As the Allied troops advanced, Adolf Hitler found himself in his underground bunker, surrounded by chaos and defeat.
00:14It is said that in an act of desperation the Führer took his own life.
00:18However, decades later, the exact circumstances of his death remain shrouded in mystery.
00:24Did Hitler really commit suicide in his bunker? Or did he manage to escape before his fall?
00:30Theories surrounding his end have persisted and doubts about his fate continue to arouse fascination and speculation.
00:37In this article, we explore Hitler's final hours and the theories that fueled one of the most intriguing conspiracies in history.
00:45Will the truth finally come out or will it remain an unresolved piece of history?
00:51Adolf Hitler's youth: from artist's dream to totalitarian leader.
00:56Adolf Hitler, one of history's most notorious dictators, began life in humble circumstances.
01:04He was born in 1889 in Brunohamn, a small Austrian town on the border with Germany.
01:11From a young age, he displayed a complex personality, marked by a problematic relationship with his father,
01:17an authoritarian and distant man, and a mother who, on the contrary, covered him with too much protection, fueling his ambitions without restriction.
01:26As a youth, Hitler dreamed of becoming an artist, an ambition that led him to Vienna.
01:33However, his artistic career never took off.
01:37He failed the entrance exams to the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna twice,
01:41which caused him deep humiliation and plunged him into persistent bitterness.
01:45This rejection marked the beginning of a wandering phase in his life.
01:50While wandering around Vienna, Hitler witnessed the rise of nationalism,
01:54and that's where his ideas began to take shape.
01:58The atmosphere of the city influenced him deeply, fueling his hatred of the Jews.
02:03and his ideas of racial superiority, elements that would later become the foundations of his ideology.
02:10When the First World War broke out, Hitler, in search of meaning,
02:14joined the German army.
02:16The war represented a turning point, a conflict that ended in the defeat of Germany,
02:21leaving the country devastated and demoralized.
02:24For Hitler, the signing of the Treaty of Versailles in 1919,
02:29which imposed heavy economic sanctions on Germany,
02:32was a humiliation that filled him with rage.
02:35This sentiment evolved into a conspiracy theory blaming the Jews,
02:38Marxists and "traitorous" German politicians to be responsible for the country's defeat.
02:45In 1919 he joined the German Workers' Party, the forerunner of the Nazi Party.
02:51Thanks to his passionate speech and his ability to manipulate the emotions of the people,
02:56Hitler quickly became the undisputed leader of the party.
02:59Inspired by the fascism of Benito Mussolini, he led the Beer Hall Putsch in 1923,
03:06a failed coup that resulted in his imprisonment.
03:09Although he failed to seize power by force, his imprisonment was not in vain.
03:15While in prison, Hitler wrote "Mein Kampf,"
03:19his political and autobiographical manifesto which set out his vision of an authoritarian state,
03:24his radical anti-Semitism and his dream of Lebensraum for Germans in Europe.
03:31After his release, Hitler changed his strategy, now seeking to gain power through legal means.
03:38He promised to restore Germany's greatness, to annul the Treaty of Versailles
03:43and to restore the country to its place as a world leader.
03:47At the dawn of the 1930s, the global economic crisis hit Europe
03:52and his promises of a restored economy and a strong Germany
03:56resonated with millions of disillusioned Germans.
03:59In the early 1930s, the Nazi Party became the largest party in the Reichstag,
04:05although it does not have an absolute majority.
04:08In 1933, through a series of political maneuvers, Hitler was appointed Reich Chancellor.
04:14From then on, his rise to power became unstoppable.
04:17Within months, Hitler consolidated his absolute power.
04:20Thanks to the law of full powers adopted in March 1933,
04:25Parliament granted him dictatorial powers,
04:28ending the Weimar Republic and sealing the fate of German democracy.
04:33Hitler quickly eliminated all his political opponents.
04:36The Nazis banned other parties, destroyed the unions
04:40and used the Gestapo and the SS to suppress any form of dissent.
04:45Nazi propaganda, controlled by Joseph Goebbels, portrayed Hitler as an infallible leader,
04:52the savior of Germany.
04:54At the same time, the totalitarian state he had built promoted an ideology of hatred,
04:59of discrimination and violence centered on racial purity, particularly against Jews.
05:06Internationally, Hitler did not just rebuild Germany.
05:10His expansionist ambitions were clear.
05:13From 1936 onwards, he began to violate the Treaty of Versailles.
05:19He reoccupied Renania, annexed Austria, Anchelousse,
05:22and seized the Sudetenland, a region of Czechoslovakia populated by ethnic Germans.
05:28The appeasement policies of Western countries, particularly Great Britain and France,
05:33only encouraged his expansionist desires.
05:36Finally, on September 1, 1939, Hitler invaded Poland, prompting Britain and France to declare war,
05:46thus launching World War II.
05:49With the tactic of Blitzkrieg, the Third Reich quickly occupied much of Europe.
05:53However, the outbreak of war did not only mean territorial expansion for Hitler,
05:59but also the intensification of its genocidal policies,
06:03which would culminate in the Holocaust, a genocide that would forever mark his legacy.
06:09The story of Adolf Hitler, from his dreamy youth to his transformation into a ruthless dictator,
06:15is the story of how hatred and despair can fuel absolute power.
06:20Its rise, based on manipulation, violence and an extreme ideology,
06:26left an indelible mark on the history of humanity,
06:29and the war that started it changed the world forever.
06:34Hitler's last days, the collapse of the Third Reich.
06:38By early 1945, the situation in the Third Reich was desperate.
06:43What had been an expansionist and unstoppable empire was now disintegrating.
06:47under pressure from Allied advances on both fronts.
06:50In the East, the German invasion of the Soviet Union,
06:54launched in 1941 in the hope of a quick victory,
06:58had become bogged down in the vastness of Russia.
07:01The German defeat at the Battle of Stalingrad between 1942 and 1943
07:06was a devastating blow,
07:08where more than 800,000 German soldiers lost their lives.
07:12The loss of the Sixth Army marked a turning point in the war in the East,
07:16and from that moment on,
07:18The Soviets advanced inexorably towards Berlin.
07:22Meanwhile, on the Western Front,
07:25the Allied invasion of D-Day in June 1944
07:28marked the beginning of an unstoppable offensive.
07:31The Allied forces landed in Normandy,
07:34liberated Paris in August
07:35and continued their advance towards the heart of Germany.
07:39As the German defenses collapsed
07:41and Hitler's soldiers retreated,
07:43The Allies began to surround the Reich from the East and West.
07:47In 1944 and 1945,
07:51the fall of German cities
07:52and the destruction of their industrial infrastructure
07:55by allied air strikes
07:56were decisive factors in the final collapse.
08:01In early 1945,
08:03Germany's defeat seemed inevitable.
08:06However, Hitler, prey to growing paranoia
08:09and disconnected from reality,
08:10refused to surrender.
08:12In his underground bunker in Berlin,
08:15surrounded by ruins
08:15and with Soviet troops at the gates,
08:18the Führer remained attached
08:19to his vision of a victorious Germany,
08:22although all signs indicated otherwise.
08:25The German resistance
08:26had been reduced to a few fronts
08:27and the Third Reich was on the brink
08:29of total destruction.
08:31The fight Hitler swore to fight to the end
08:34was coming to a conclusion
08:35the most bitter and tragic.
08:37The last days in the bunker,
08:39the degradation of Hitler.
08:41In the winter of 1945,
08:44The fall of the Third Reich was already irreversible.
08:47The allies, advancing from the west,
08:49were approaching Berlin,
08:50while the Red Army pressed from the east.
08:53With German forces in defensive position
08:55and the German capital about to be captured,
08:58Adolf Hitler took refuge in his last stronghold.
09:01The Führerbunker,
09:03an underground complex designed
09:04to resist the bombings
09:06and protect the Führer
09:07during the most critical days.
09:09The bunker,
09:10located several meters below the Reich Chancellery,
09:13was a fortified and stifling place
09:15with more than 30 pieces.
09:17Its thick concrete walls,
09:196 feet thick,
09:21and a series of tunnels
09:22connecting other nearby government buildings,
09:25offered some protection
09:27against air attacks.
09:28However,
09:30inside this shelter,
09:32the reality of the collapse of the Nazi regime
09:35was undeniable.
09:36Despite its growing isolation
09:38and the imminent defeat,
09:39Hitler clung to the hope of a miracle.
09:42However,
09:43inside his bunker,
09:45Hitler continued to make decisions
09:47which reflected his total disconnection from the situation.
09:50He gave military orders
09:52and promoted strategies
09:53which lacked foundation,
09:55ignoring the recommendations of his generals
09:57and the context of the war.
09:59The atmosphere in the Führerbunker
10:01was becoming more and more desperate.
10:03The few people
10:04who still accompanied him,
10:06including his partner Eva Braun
10:07and some of his closest officers,
10:10witnessed a completely disturbed man.
10:13On his last birthday,
10:14April 20, 1945,
10:17Hitler emerged briefly
10:18to award Iron Crosses
10:20to members of the Hitler Youth.
10:23But most of his time
10:24was devoted to constant rage,
10:27reviewing maps
10:28and throwing accusations at his officers
10:30whom he saw as traitors.
10:33As Soviet forces approached
10:35and that the encirclement of Berlin was tightening,
10:38Hitler took refuge in his memories,
10:40clinging to hope
10:41than a turnaround
10:43could save Germany.
10:45But this hope was in vain.
10:47News of the dire situation
10:49outside the bunker,
10:50as well as reports on the fall
10:52from several German cities,
10:54began to penetrate his isolation.
10:56However, his refusal to accept defeat
10:59and his growing paranoia
11:00only added to his confusion.
11:03Throughout these last few days,
11:05Hitler remained in his delirium,
11:07rejecting any suggestion of surrender.
11:10The reality of his defeat,
11:12as well as the collapse of his regime,
11:14failed to penetrate his mind.
11:16The last major offensive
11:17to save Berlin, yet another illusion,
11:20failed miserably,
11:21leaving the Führer facing the inevitable end
11:24that he had feared so much.
11:26The Führerbunker,
11:27once the center of power of the Third Reich,
11:30became the scene of a man's fall
11:32and an empire.
11:34Hitler's Mental Decay
11:36in his last days.
11:38In the last days of World War II,
11:40Adolf Hitler's physical and mental health
11:42was deteriorating at an alarming rate.
11:45As defeat became inevitable,
11:48pressure on the Nazi leader
11:50reached unsustainable levels,
11:52worsening his already severe condition.
11:55When the Allies began to invade Berlin,
11:58Hitler was trapped in his bunker,
12:00surrounded by the ruins of a declining regime.
12:03The combination of a debilitating physical illness,
12:06from excessive drug use
12:08and a mind increasingly disconnected from reality,
12:12painted a portrait of despair and madness in the last few days.
12:15One of the most significant factors in its degradation
12:19was Parkinson's disease,
12:21which affected his ability to move normally.
12:25The tremors in his hands and legs were noticeable,
12:28and his shuffling gait became a symbol of his growing weakness.
12:32His stooped posture and lack of motor coordination
12:35were also clear signs of his physical decline.
12:39However, the physical symptoms were only part of the picture.
12:43Hitler's mental health, already affected by years of paranoia
12:47and extreme ego, hit rock bottom in the last days of the war.
12:52Hitler was under the care of his personal physician, Theodore Morel,
12:56who administered a combination of drugs to him,
12:59including amphetamines, barbiturates and opiates,
13:03which only worsened his condition.
13:06The abuse of these substances altered his judgment,
13:08plunging him into states of delirium and paranoia.
13:11On many occasions, Hitler seemed completely out of touch with reality,
13:18making irrational decisions and ignoring reports from his own generals,
13:22who warned him of the imminent defeat.
13:25This contempt for the truth and his stubbornness in denying the situation
13:28contributed to his emotional and political isolation.
13:32As the situation worsened,
13:34Hitler sank into a deep depression.
13:36Not only was he confined in his bunker,
13:40but he also suffered from severe insomnia and constant anxiety.
13:43He spent his nights taking nervous walks
13:46and to mentally relive the first years of his rise to power,
13:50when his popularity and trust were immeasurable.
13:54This nostalgia for better times, combined with his growing despair,
13:58created a cycle of despair that slowly consumed him.
14:01Hitler's inner circle, composed mainly of his most loyal supporters and sycophants,
14:08only exacerbated his disconnection from reality.
14:11Fearing the Führer's anger,
14:13No one dared to confront him or tell him the truth about Germany's military situation.
14:18This created an environment where his decisions were reflected only in his distorted view of the world,
14:24leading him to commit military errors which precipitated the fall of the Third Reich.
14:29Historians such as Albert Schaar have pointed out that the lack of real criticism of Hitler and the constant adoration
14:35contributed to his growing madness.
14:38As the war became more desperate, the pressure mounted,
14:42and the Führer was not only unable to cope with defeat,
14:46But even in his most critical moments, his ego prevented him from considering surrender.
14:52As the Third Reich crumbled around him,
14:54Hitler remained locked in his own world of delusion,
14:59fueled by a mixture of nostalgia, paranoia and despair.
15:03In the final act of his life, Hitler abandoned all hope of redemption or salvation,
15:08becoming a man completely lost in his own mind,
15:11while Germany was collapsing before the eyes of the world.
15:15His fall is not just the story of a dictator who lost the war,
15:18but also that of a man whose physical and mental health collapsed at the same time,
15:24changing his destiny in a tragic and irreversible way.
15:28Hitler marries Eva Braun, the last decision at the end of the Third Reich.
15:34On April 29, 1945, in the midst of the fiercest battle for Berlin,
15:39with Soviet forces a few meters from the Reich Chancellery,
15:43Adolf Hitler made an unexpected and symbolic decision.
15:46He married Eva Braun.
15:49On that day of despair, when defeat was inevitable,
15:53The marriage was a manifestation of Eva's unwavering loyalty
15:57and one of the dictator's last actions before his tragic fate.
16:02The situation in Berlin was dire.
16:04Soviet bombing was intensifying
16:07and the city collapsed under the weight of the offensive.
16:11In the streets near the Reich Chancellery,
16:13the Russian soldiers advanced relentlessly,
16:15while a handful of German soldiers tried to resist.
16:20The civilian population, including children and the elderly,
16:24had joined the defense of the city,
16:26fighting fiercely to prevent enemy troops
16:28to capture women as spoils of war,
16:31a fate feared by many German women
16:34in the hands of the Soviet army.
16:36In this apocalyptic scenario, at one o'clock in the morning,
16:39Hitler and Eva Braun,
16:40after years of a relationship marked by secrecy
16:43and Hitler's public indifference,
16:46decided to get married.
16:47The ceremony took place in the bunker of the Reich Chancellery,
16:51with notary Walter Wagner officiating
16:54and the few available witnesses,
16:56Joseph Goebbels, the Nazi propaganda minister,
16:59and Martin Bormann, Hitler's personal secretary.
17:03Marriage, more than a romantic act,
17:05was a symbolic gesture,
17:07despite the long-standing relationship they had shared everything,
17:11many in Hitler's inner circle
17:13were surprised by this sudden decision.
17:16Hitler, known for his contempt for Eva,
17:18had never publicly shown affection for him.
17:21In fact, for years,
17:22he had ridiculed his role
17:24and had kept him in the shadows,
17:26far from political life.
17:27However, Eva Braun had always been ready
17:30to follow her lover,
17:31even when the situation was deteriorating.
17:33Despite Hitler's orders to keep her safe
17:36outside Berlin,
17:38Eva had come to the capital
17:40to be with him in his last moments.
17:42His love for Hitler was unwavering
17:44and she decided to share his destiny,
17:47whatever the circumstances.
17:49Hitler, for his part,
17:51deeply valued loyalty,
17:53something Eva had constantly shown him
17:56over the years.
17:57It was this loyalty that drove the dictator
18:00to reward his devotion
18:01by a gesture as striking as giving it his name.
18:05Shortly after the wedding,
18:06at two o'clock in the morning,
18:07Hitler wrote his political and personal testament.
18:11With Secretary Trudeljung as witness,
18:14Hitler appointed Karl Denitz,
18:16Grand Admiral of the German Navy,
18:18as his successor.
18:20He gave to Martin Bormann
18:21the leadership of the Nazi Party,
18:23the NSDAP.
18:25In his will,
18:26Hitler clarified that his mind
18:28was already facing imminent death
18:30and the fall of the Third Reich.
18:32His last actions were not only
18:34formal acts,
18:36but reflected a deep despair.
18:38A vision of a future
18:39where there would be no more room for him
18:41nor for his ideas.
18:42With a glass of champagne in hand
18:44to seal the ceremony,
18:46Hitler took leave of life
18:47with a mixture of coldness and fatalism.
18:50While his secretary's typewriter
18:52rattled in the claustrophobic bunker,
18:55The Führer knew that his empire
18:57was about to collapse.
18:58Echoes of War
19:00that he had triggered
19:01already resonated like a distant echo
19:03and the end was inevitable.
19:06Eva Braun's loyalty,
19:08who had witnessed his rise
19:09and its fall,
19:11accompanied him until the last moment,
19:13without regret, without hope.
19:16That day,
19:16the history of Germany and the world
19:18was written in the last pages
19:19of the Third Reich.
19:20Hitler and Eva Braun,
19:23after a life marked by power,
19:24despair and delirium,
19:26were preparing for the final act.
19:29The end of the Nazi regime was sealed
19:31and the fall of the dictator
19:33became inevitable.
19:35The final act,
19:36the death of Hitler and Eva Braun.
19:39In the early hours of April 30, 1945,
19:42Führer Adolf Hitler
19:44and his wife Eva Braun
19:45ended their day
19:47in the underground bunker
19:48of the Reich Chancellery,
19:50in an already devastated Germany
19:52by World War II.
19:54With Berlin on the verge
19:55to fall under the Soviet siege,
19:57Hitler,
19:58who had fought
19:59until the last moment,
20:01decided he would not face it
20:02to the humiliation of being captured
20:04by the enemies of his regime.
20:06A few days before
20:07his 56th birthday,
20:09Hitler,
20:09increasingly isolated
20:11and paranoid,
20:12signed his last will.
20:13He bequeathed his vast fortune there
20:16to his party and his wife, Eva,
20:18and gave instructions
20:19for preservation
20:20from his art collection
20:21which he hoped to see preserved
20:23in a museum in Austria.
20:25During these last days,
20:27the situation was becoming
20:28increasingly desperate.
20:30On April 29,
20:32Hermann Göring,
20:33one of the leading figures
20:34of the Nazi regime,
20:35had tried to negotiate
20:36with the Allies
20:37without Hitler's approval,
20:39which caused
20:39an uncontrollable fury
20:41at the Führer's.
20:42Accordingly,
20:44Göring was arrested
20:45and relieved of his duties,
20:47clear sign
20:47of the final fall
20:48of the Nazi system.
20:50On April 30,
20:51with Soviet forces
20:52a few blocks away
20:53of the Reich Chancellery,
20:55Hitler and Braun
20:56withdrew
20:57in their private suite
20:58after a last lunch.
21:00Around 2:30 p.m.,
21:01Hitler's butler
21:02who was
21:03near their neighborhood
21:04heard a gunshot.
21:06At 3:30 p.m.,
21:08he entered the room
21:09and found the bodies
21:10Hitler's lifeless
21:11and Eva Braun.
21:12Hitler had left
21:13a bullet in the head,
21:14while Eva,
21:15faithful to the end,
21:17had committed suicide
21:18by ingesting a capsule
21:19of cyanide.
21:21Their bodies
21:21were quickly
21:22evacuated from the bunker
21:23and burned in the garden,
21:25partially destroyed
21:26by the bombings,
21:28to prevent their remainder
21:29does not fall
21:29in the hands
21:30of the enemy.
21:31Hitler's testament,
21:33dictated during
21:33of these last moments,
21:35reaffirmed
21:35his ideological beliefs
21:37and his accusations
21:38against the Jews
21:39that he held responsible
21:41of the war.
21:42By refusing
21:42to be captured
21:43or exhibited
21:44like a trophy
21:45of war,
21:46Hitler avoided
21:47the fate
21:47from his Italian counterpart,
21:49Benito Mussolini,
21:50who had been executed
21:51and whose body
21:52had been publicly exposed.
21:54For him,
21:55suicide
21:55was a way
21:56to avoid humiliation
21:57and to present his death
21:59as a final statement
22:00of resistance.
22:02Despite fringe theories
22:03suggesting
22:04that Hitler could have escaped
22:05in Berlin,
22:07the testimonies
22:07eyewitnesses
22:08and forensic analysis
22:10remains found
22:11by Soviet forces
22:12confirmed his death.
22:15Dental records
22:16of Hitler,
22:17compared to the remains found,
22:18matched perfectly,
22:20removing all doubt
22:21on his suicide.
22:23April 30, 1945
22:24definitely marked
22:26the end of the Nazi regime.
22:27The man who had searched
22:29to dominate Europe
22:30and to destroy
22:31millions of lives
22:32was dead,
22:33alongside his partner
22:34of a lifetime,
22:35in the same act
22:36of despair
22:37and denial
22:38who had scored
22:38his fall.
22:40So ended
22:40the story
22:41of one of the dictators
22:42the most infamous
22:43of history,
22:44who chooses to die
22:45in his bunker
22:46never surrendering,
22:47but never realizing
22:48neither his dreams
22:49delusional of grandeur.
22:51The verdict of history,
22:53Hitler's suicide
22:54and theories
22:55of his escape,
22:56the death of Adolf Hitler
22:58was the subject
22:58of speculations,
23:00of controversies
23:00and theories
23:01of the conspiracy
23:02for decades.
23:03The analysis
23:04the remains of the Führer
23:05after his suicide
23:06in the Berlin bunker
23:07in April 1945
23:09was surrounded
23:10of secrets
23:11and its management
23:12was marked
23:13by confusion
23:14and contradictions.
23:15When the forces
23:16Soviets
23:17entered into
23:18the German capital,
23:19the Nazi regime
23:20was collapsing
23:20and the last vestiges
23:22of the Third Reich
23:22were falling.
23:23The research
23:24leftovers
23:24of Hitler
23:25became a process
23:26filled with uncertainties
23:27and manipulations.
23:29On May 1, 1945,
23:32the Soviets
23:33took control
23:34from the bunker
23:34where Hitler
23:35had passed
23:36his last hours.
23:37In the following days,
23:39they exhumed
23:39the bodies
23:40partially burned
23:41of Hitler
23:41and Eva Braun.
23:43Autopsies
23:43carried out
23:44in a hospital
23:45Soviet military
23:46confirmed
23:47than Hitler
23:47was dead
23:48suites
23:48from an injury
23:49by bullet
23:50to the head
23:50and poisoning
23:52to cyanide.
23:53However,
23:54the lack
23:54of precise details
23:55and refusal
23:56of the government
23:57Soviet
23:58to reveal
23:59information
23:59on the discovery
24:01fed
24:01theories
24:02according to which
24:03Hitler would have survived
24:04and escaped
24:05in Berlin.
24:06A myth
24:07which persists
24:07still today.
24:09Although the Union
24:09Soviet
24:10took years
24:11before admitting
24:12publicly
24:12that she possessed
24:13fragments
24:14of the skull
24:14and jaw
24:15of Hitler,
24:16the details
24:17of his death
24:17remained unclear.
24:19In 1968,
24:21Moscow
24:22finally recognized
24:22hold his remains,
24:24but the line
24:25official
24:25of the regime
24:26remained uncertain
24:27as to the truth
24:28reports.
24:29The situation
24:30took a turn
24:30in 1970
24:32when the Soviets
24:34allowed
24:34to journalists
24:35Westerners
24:36to examine
24:37a fragment
24:37of skull
24:38with a hole
24:39of ball,
24:40supposed to be
24:40the proof
24:41of his suicide.
24:42However,
24:43this fragment
24:43turned out to come from
24:44of a woman
24:44and not Hitler,
24:46which generated
24:47even more doubts
24:48and misinformation
24:49on death
24:50of the dictator.
24:51It is only with
24:52the fall
24:52of the Soviet Union
24:53in the years
24:541990
24:55that researchers
24:56Westerners
24:57had access
24:58to the Russian archives.
25:00Analysis of the remains,
25:01including fragments
25:02Hitler's teeth,
25:03confirmed that they matched
25:05to medical records
25:06of the dictator.
25:07The skull,
25:08on the other hand,
25:09belonged to a woman,
25:10which led
25:11at the conclusion
25:11that some
25:12remains found
25:13were incorrect
25:14or misidentified.
25:16Despite this,
25:17most of the evidence
25:18indicate that Hitler
25:19committed suicide
25:20April 30, 1945
25:22using a gun
25:23and cyanide
25:24in the frame
25:25of a suicide pact
25:27with his wife,
25:28Eva Braun.
25:29Although theories
25:30on escape
25:31Hitler's persistence,
25:32scientific evidence
25:33and the testimonies
25:34of the people present
25:35in the bunker
25:36refute this possibility.
25:38Escape from a city
25:39surrounded by forces
25:40Soviets
25:41was practically impossible
25:43and the myth
25:44of a Hitler
25:44on the run
25:45collapses
25:45face the facts.
25:47The evidence
25:47forensic
25:48and the testimonies
25:49of those
25:49who were with him
25:50during these last days
25:51conclusively indicate
25:53than the Nazi dictator
25:54died in Berlin,
25:56alongside Braun,
25:57thus closing
25:58the last chapter
25:59of the Third Reich.
26:01This historical enigma,
26:02fueled by theories
26:04of the conspiracy
26:04and speculations,
26:06has persisted since
26:07over 70 years old.
26:08Mystery and myth
26:10in the media,
26:11Hitler's death
26:12over the decades.
26:14The figure of Adolf Hitler
26:15and his death
26:15in the Berlin bunker
26:17have become
26:18one of the subjects
26:18the most discussed
26:19and manipulated
26:20in the media
26:21for more than 75 years.
26:23From the first days
26:24after the end
26:25of the Second World War,
26:27the stories
26:27surrounding his death
26:28have been strongly
26:29influenced
26:30by interests
26:30policies of the time.
26:32While the superpowers
26:34of the Cold War
26:35were engaged
26:35to an ideological battle,
26:37Hitler's fate
26:38has become
26:39a key element
26:39propaganda
26:40with stories
26:41contradictory
26:42and theories
26:43of the conspiracy
26:44which persist
26:45still today.
26:46Immediately
26:47after the end
26:47of the Second World War,
26:49the disappearance of Hitler
26:50became a central topic
26:52of media coverage.
26:54While the allies
26:55celebrated the victory
26:56on the Third Reich,
26:58the Soviets,
26:59who were the first
27:00to reach
27:01Hitler's bunker,
27:02published reports
27:03on his suicide
27:04whose details
27:06remained secret
27:06for years.
27:09Western media,
27:10especially newspapers
27:11Americans
27:12and British,
27:13supported the version
27:14official of his death
27:15in Berlin,
27:17which allowed
27:17to present
27:18a coherent story
27:19and fluid
27:20of the last days
27:21of the dictator.
27:21However,
27:23Hitler's enemies,
27:24especially countries
27:25defeated by the regime
27:26Nazi,
27:27fueled the theory
27:28according to which
27:29the dictator
27:30had escaped,
27:31sowing confusion
27:32and uncertainty.
27:34This strategy
27:34aimed not only
27:35to disorient the public,
27:37but also to mine
27:38credibility
27:39allied authorities
27:40and Soviet,
27:41by questioning
27:42truthfulness
27:43official reports.
27:45The Cold War
27:46added a new layer
27:47of complexity
27:48to the mystery
27:48of Hitler's death.
27:50With a divided world
27:51between the blocks
27:52communists
27:53and capitalists,
27:54the disappearance of Hitler
27:55became a subject
27:56of ideological propaganda.
27:58The Soviets,
27:59by not revealing
28:00all the details
28:01on Hitler's autopsy
28:02and the remains found,
28:03fed even more
28:05doubts about his death.
28:07The fact that the authorities
28:08Soviets kept
28:09the secret files
28:10ignited the theories
28:11of a possible escape
28:13of Hitler
28:13to South America,
28:15a story that won
28:16in popularity
28:17in the 1960s.
28:19Over the years,
28:20books
28:21and documentaries
28:22began to play
28:23with the idea
28:23that Hitler had escaped
28:25in Berlin
28:25rather than committing suicide.
28:28One of the titles
28:28the most influential
28:29from this period
28:30was Grey Wolf,
28:32The Escape of Adolf Hitler,
28:34who presented
28:35a sensationalist story
28:36according to which
28:37the Nazi dictator
28:39would have fled to Argentina
28:40on board a submarine,
28:42leaving behind
28:42the collapse of his regime.
28:45These stories,
28:46although not at all founded
28:47on reliable evidence,
28:49captured the imagination
28:50of the public,
28:51creating an alternative history
28:52which persists
28:53in the collective consciousness.
28:56With the advent of the Internet
28:57in recent decades,
28:59the proliferation of theories
29:00on the death of Hitler
29:02has reached new heights.
29:04Digital platforms,
29:05accessible worldwide,
29:07allowed any story,
29:09whether it is well documented or not,
29:11to spread easily.
29:13The forums,
29:14blogs
29:15and social networks
29:16have become spaces
29:17where the versions
29:18the most speculative
29:19and sensationalists
29:20of Hitler's fate
29:21mingle
29:22to verifiable historical facts.
29:25Online discussions
29:26on Hitler's last days,
29:28including analysis
29:29remains found
29:30by the Soviets,
29:31have fed
29:32historical revisionism.
29:34Many of these theories
29:35are based on reinterpretation
29:37of fragments of evidence,
29:39like the analysis of his skull
29:40or the possible escape
29:42to South America.
29:44However,
29:44despite the vast quantity
29:45of information
29:46and misinformation
29:47circulating on the Internet,
29:49the essential facts
29:51on the death of Hitler
29:52remain clear.
29:53The testimonies
29:54eyewitnesses
29:55in the bunker,
29:56Soviet reports
29:57and physical evidence,
29:59like dental records,
30:00continue to confirm
30:01that the Führer
30:02committed suicide
30:03April 30, 1945.
30:06Despite the many theories
30:07still in circulation,
30:08historical archives
30:10remain the main reference
30:12to approach
30:12the mystery
30:13of Hitler's death.
30:15The work of a historian
30:16like Hugues Trevor Roper,
30:18who documented
30:19Hitler's last days
30:20in his book
30:21“The Last Days of Hitler”,
30:23consolidated
30:24the suicide version
30:25in the bunker
30:26as the official version.
30:28Although many theories
30:29of the persistent conspiracy,
30:31evidence of death
30:31Hitler's in Berlin
30:32in 1945
30:34are irrefutable.
30:35And the attempts
30:37to rewrite history
30:38only reflect
30:39our fascination
30:40for myths
30:41and morbidity
30:42surrounding one of the figures
30:44the darkest in history.
30:46The media,
30:47from the traditional press
30:48in the digital age,
30:50played a crucial role
30:51in construction
30:52and perpetuation
30:53of these stories,
30:54some based on facts,
30:56others completely fabricated.
30:58However,
30:59documentary evidence
31:00and direct testimonies
31:01remain the foundation
31:02which strengthens
31:03the most logical version
31:04and coherent,
31:05Hitler died in
31:07Hitler died in his bunker
31:09alongside Eva Braun,
31:11April 30, 1945,
31:13marking the end of his regime
31:15and the collapse
31:15of the Third Reich.
31:18At the end of the day,
31:19despite the influence of the media
31:20and the perpetuation of myths,
31:22History has the last word.
