[GRAPHIC] The death of Adolf Hitler (4-30-45)

Chancellery fire routs Russians

MOSCOW (UP) – A Russian war correspondent reported today that after the capture of Berlin, he found the Chancellery – where the Nazis said Adolf Hitler died – engulfed in flames which drove him from Hitler’s office after a quick survey.

If the correspondent’s reported visit to the Chancellery shed any light on Hitler’s fate, the Soviet censorship apparently was not ready to pass it. Moscow has issued no official report of what was found at the Chancellery – if anything – that would bear on the German version of Hitler’s death.
