How did Hitler end?
Adolf Hitler, chancellor and dictator of Germany from 1933 to 1945, committed suicide via gunshot on 30 April 1945 in the Führerbunker in Berlin.
The Soviet Union restricted the release of information and released many conflicting reports about Hitler's death.
In June 1945, the Soviets began seeding two contradictory narratives: that Hitler died by taking cyanide and that he had survived and fled to another country.
The US Federal Bureau of Investigation and Central Intelligence Agency received many leads claiming that Hitler might still be alive, while giving none of them credence.
The documents remained classified until the early 2010s, as authorised by the 1998 Nazi War Crimes Disclosure Act.
The secrecy in which the investigation was shrouded helped fuel conspiracy theories asserting Hitler's survival.
