The death of Hitler - Jean-Christophe Brisard

On April 30, 1945, Hitler committed suicide in his bunker as the Red
Army closed in on Berlin. Within four days the Soviets had recovered his
body. But the truth about what the Russian secret services found was
hidden from history, when, three months later, Stalin officially
declared to Truman and Churchill that Hitler was still alive and had
escaped abroad. Reckless rumors about what really happened to Hitler
began to spread like wildfire and, even today, they have not been put to
rest. Until now.

In 2017, after two years of painstaking
negotiations with the Russian authorities, award-winning investigative
journalists Jean-Christophe Brisard and Lana Parshina gained access to
confidential Soviet files that finally revealed the truth behind the
incredible hunt for Hitler's body.

Their investigation includes
new eyewitness accounts of Hitler's final days, exclusive photographic
evidence and interrogation records, and exhaustive research into the
power struggle that ensued between Soviet, British, and American
intelligence services. And for the first time since the end of World War
II, official, cutting-edge forensic tests have been completed on the
human remains recovered from the bunker graves--a piece of skull with
traces of a lethal bullet, a fragment of bone, and teeth.

In The Death of Hitler--written as thrillingly as any spy novel--Brisard and Parshina debunk all previous conspiracy theories about the death of the Fhrer.
With breathtaking precision and immediacy they penetrate one of the
most powerful and controversial secret services to take readers inside
Hitler's bunker in its last hours--and solve the most notorious cold
case in history.
