About his death…
Seeing the Soviet troops advancing, Hitler killed himself. Following his death, unsurprisingly, many conspiracy theories started swirling around. The Soviets claimed that Hitler wasn't dead and that he was being protected by the western powers. However, later, his death was confirmed through dental records. His entire body was exhumed, cremated and ashes scattered. Only his skull was preserved which had a bearing of a single gunshot. However, after half-a-century, in 2009, it was revealed by the researchers that the skull is of actually a woman. This, again, triggered mass conspiracy theory that Hitler never killed himself; that the whole episode was orchestrated to show that he is dead. (The similar theories that we now have about Osama Bin Laden!)
These are some interesting facts about Hitler.
