Peacefully

in His Bed

In Argentina?

The death of Adolf Hitler

still remains one of the biggest

mysteries in history.

There are numerous theories

that mostly come down to s

peculation that the Nazi leader

didn’t die in his bunker,

but managed to

escape and hide.

He allegedly was hiding for

years and peacefully died in

his own bed.

A few days ago scientists

received the evidence that these

theories might not be that

far from truth.

The scull fragment that was

thought to be Hitler’s turned

out to be the remains

of a woman.

For a long time historians

believed that the fragment

proved that on April 30^th,

1945,

the Führer took a cyanide pill

and shot his head off when

he realized that the Third

Reich was over.

His mistress Eva Braun committed

suicide in the same bunker.

According to numerous witnesses,

their bodies were wrapped in

blankets and taken out of the

bunker to a nearby garden.

The bodies were

soaked with petroleum,

set on fire,

and later buried.

In 1945,

Soviet special agents excavated

the place of a likely burial

and found the bones that were

believed to be Hitler’s.

A part of the

skull was missing,

which showed that the death

was caused by a bullet.

The preserved jaw fragment

coincided with the dental

records found at the office

of Hitler’s dentist.

A year later,

the missing fragment was

found by the order of Stalin

who had suspicions that

Hitler managed to escape

and hide.

In the mid 1950s,

after Stalin’s death,

the skeleton that was

presumably Hitler’s was

buried in Magdeburg,

East Germany.

In 1970,

the skeleton was dug out

by the KGB agents.

Only the jawbone,

the skull fragment and the

bloodstained sofa segments

were preserved.

The findings were sent

to the KGB archives.

American specialists examined

the bone fragments.

According to Connecticut

archaeologist Nick Bellantoni,

the bone seemed very thin,

male bone tends to be

more robust.

Besides,

the sutures where the skull

plates come together seemed

to correspond to someone

under 40.

In 1945 Hitler turned 56.

Bellantoni believes that the

studied bone fragment could

not belong to Eva Braun either,

although she died at 33.

“There is no report of Eva Braun

having shot herself or

having been shot afterwards.

It could be anyone.

Many people were killed around

the bunker area,”

the scientist said.

Nick Bellantoni received the

bone tissue that was believed

to belong to Hitler in Moscow,

where the fragments were

kept in the Russian State

Archives and even displayed

at an exhibition in 2000.

The researcher was shown

the bloodstained upholstery

from the bunker sofa which

was believed to be Hitler’s

and Braun’s deathbed.

“I had the reference photos

the Soviets took of the sofa

in 1945 and I was seeing

the exact same stains on

the fragments of wood and

fabric in front of me,

so I knew I was working

with the real thing,”

said the archeologists.

The results of the research

will be used as the basis

for the US documentary

Hitler’s Escape.

Bellantoni was allowed only

one hour in the archives,

during which time he applied

cotton swabs and took DNA

samples that were sent to

Connecticut right away.

Linda Strausbaugh closed her

lab for three days to work

exclusively on the Hitler project.

.

.

“We used the same routines

and controls that would have

been used in a crime lab,”

she said.

To her surprise,

a small amount of viable

DNA was extracted.

“We were very lucky

to get a reading,

despite the limited amount

of genetic information,”

the scientist said.

“That’s how we found out

that the fragment belongs

to a female.”

The story of the Nazi leader’s

death is still a mystery.

Some scientists initially had

doubts about his suicide and

believed it was Nazi’s propaganda

created to present his suicide

in a suitably heroic light.

Abel Basti, an

Argentinean writer,

was one of the first people to

believe that the jaw fragment

must be DNA-tested.

He explained that the scientists

only had a chance to compare

the charred jaw fragment

with poor quality X-rays

and the testimony of Hitler’s

dentist who could have lied.

He believed that the

scientists should compare

his DNA samples with the

samples of Hitler’s sister Paula

who passed away in 1960

and was buried at the

Bergfriedhof cemetery.

Abel Basti is the author of

the book Hitler in Argentina

that describes his theory of

Hitler’s escape based on the

real documents and

photographs from archives.

The writer believes that Hitler

managed to escape to South

America and live a long life.

In his book Basti states that

on April 29, 1945 the Nazi

leader was flown from Berlin

to Spain on a Messerschmitt

Me 262.

From Spain,

accompanied by Eva Braun,

he went to Argentina

by a submarine.
