With Berlin in ruins and the Red Army and the Western Allies approaching quickly Hitler did the only thing he saw fit. Hide in his bunker with his wife and a few of his best SS men as bodyguards. In Hitlers last days, he learned about the death of Himmler, who was captured by a British patrol bit down on a cyanide capsule and died moments later. He was infüheriated by this and decided to kill himself days later. He shot himself and his wife, Eva bit down on a cyanide pill moments after she set the bunker on fire. The only remains of Adolf was his jawbone.
